Serene Retreat Nestled in the pines- private & relaxing; Microweddings; Reunions

This estate home is built on 40 acres our family purchased from the original old-time homesteader. It is fondly known as Badger Run. After working the land for several years this stunning 7 bedroom 6 bathroom home became a dream come true and was purposefully situated on a favorite knoll within stately ponderosa pines and nestled off the beaten path complete with a pond, barn, rope swing and panoramic views. It is private, quiet, and Colorado living at its finest with places to walk, play and relax.

The home does not have A/C as it is situated in a high plains area at an elevation of 7500 ft and is equipped with several ceiling fans and many large windows to allow for good cross ventilation on warmer days. Badger is also on a well with wonderful clean Colorado water. No need to bring bottled water!

We can accommodate larger groups for events such as weddings and other gatherings up to 30. Any event over 18 people is subject to additional terms and fees; message us for additional pricing and policies.

We also have a listing across the street that can be rented for even larger gatherings up to 50 (sleeps 16 overnight). This is 1 C Barn, VRBO # 989769. If you contact Andrea, she has additional accommodations 12 minutes away at Pegasus Point, VRBO #3579680. Either of these spaces have discounts available for simultaneous bookings, just mention you have another booking with us!

Required short term rental agreement to follow all bookings via email.
All reservations subject to booking at owner discretion based on the home's schedule. All rates subject to change prior to owner booking confirmation and all bookings require a direct conversation with the homeowners as to the nature of any planned group gatherings. Additionally, for property protection, two outdoor surveillance cameras are installed to monitor our garage and the parking and the rear pond area of the property.

We had a fantastic time and enjoyed the house very much. It was large enough for the group to spread out or gather together when we wanted. We would definitely recommend the place.

This home was absolutely beautiful! My son was married at 1C barn across the road. It was so wonderful to have a place for family and friends to stay so close to the venue of the wedding. I highly recommend staying here for a family reunion.

Perfect Fit for Our Micro-Reunion

We found the house to be spacious, particularly the kitchen, and easily able to accommodate our family. A perfect location and amenities. We came for a 75th birthday in the family and made it a micro-reunion. The house offered everything and we couldn’t be more pleased. Highly recommended!!

This is an outstanding property with endless space. Plenty of privacy with rolling rural views. Fully equipped from the kitchen to the game room. Our double digit family spread out and enjoyed every minute. It is a short drive to dining or supplies. There are endless activities within 40 to 60 minutes of the property. A definite 5 star in my opinion.
