Pristine New Modern Bungalow At the Base of The National Forest; 1 Acre of land

Welcome to the Marmot! A New-Construction Modern Tiny House on an Acre of Land at the Base of National Forest. Literally walk to the lake, eateries, or the beautiful hike/bike trails to reservoirs, overlooks, and boulder fields. This 500 sf retreat has a quiet bedroom sporting a King bed, an adjoining bath with walk-in shower, washer/dryer and an open bright kitchen, dining and living room area. There's also a covered Patio with a grill to relax on and take in our spectacular starry nights. The Marmot is a perfect quiet retreat for two. Due to the home’s size, no more than three overnight guests, please. Please inquire and request set-up before with us if you would like the travel crib provided or kids books/toys to be put out. Please check the pet fee line if bringing a pet so we can pay the cleaner for the extra cleaning time. Thank you!

Relax near the mountains

Lovely place to stay and escape the crowds. This property was very close to the trailhead for hikes into the mountains or a short stroll to the lake and businesses near it.

Perfect Holiday Getaway

This property was perfect for my husband and I with our Border Collie. The house was very clean and smartly decorated. The in-floor heating and thick walls, meant we didn't have to run the heater much at all. The nieghborhood was quiet and perfect for taking our dog for a walk. We loved everything about our stay and hope to be able to stay there again.

Cute place

It was a very nice place to stay, conveniently located away from the hum of the city, but still close enough to enjoy. Some darker shades in the bedroom would be nice for sleeping in, and a thicker curtain by the slider door for more privacy is needed. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Stay, even received 2 thumbs up from they hubby

Alyce and David’s property is so quaint and perfect. Bed is comfy, kitchen is stocked, finishes are nice quality. Perfect little half acre lot for our dogs to roam. 5 min walk to handful of restaurants and bars. 8 min walk to Palmer lake. We were even lucky to see the star lit right behind the property over Memorial Day. Highly recommend staying here, we will be back!

Clean, well-equipped property

Pristine new construction with numerous custom features. The well-equipped kitchen, king-sized bed, washer and dryer, and walk-in shower were ideal for our needs. The owners were responsive and accommodating. Adding a handrail to the flagstone stairs and a thicker curtain for the sliding door would be nice improvements. We were fortunate to see the Palmer Lake Star lit one evening.

Relaxing

Wanted to thank you for creating such a groovy little place. As a remodeling contractor I find myself scrutinizing of construction techniques. All the details on your tiny house are wonderful. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a modern mountain respite. Well done! James L Little Rock, AR

This home is nice for a short stay. Bed was comfortable. I wish there had been more towels. The tv was also completely unplugged so that was confusing to hook back up. There was some confusion with extra charges by the owner after we left but it was resolved. The neighbors dog did bark almost the entire time.

The Marmot was beautiful place to stay! Alyce was responsive to any need that arose and her communications were always prompt and timely. Appliances appeared to be new - very clean. We had fun using the induction stove top. The location is in beautiful Palmer Lake and at night you can see the lighted star in the foothill right behind the house - amazing!Thank you for a wonderful stay - we would definitely book again!
