The Mountain Meadow Retreat is all about choices-luxurious, soul-soothing choices. Start your morning with breakfast in your bathrobe, lounging on the deck as songbirds serenade the sunrise. Or, sip your coffee at the dining table, wrapped in the lingering warmth of last night's fire, as panoramic mountain and valley views stretch out before you. Will you stretch beneath the custom shade sail, or soak in serenity on the cliffside deck, perched above the whispering creek below? Curl up with a good book in the sun-drenched, solarium-style living room-or sway gently in a treetop-height hammock, lulled by the soothing gurgle of the water beneath you. Step out your backdoor and hike to the legendary Continental Divide Trail, or take the scenic 2-mile "garden path" loop-meandering down to the creek and rising through a meadow so breathtaking, you'll swear time stands still. Invite friends for cocktails and a friendly game of pool, or keep it cozy with the family, roasting marshmallows under a canopy of stars around the firepit. Bask in the blissful silence of true seclusion-no neighbors in earshot (though you can spot them four miles away)-or fill the air with your favorite playlist through the built-in Sonos sound system. End your perfect day with a soak in the wood-fired hot tub, then slip into an Adirondack chair to watch the sun dip behind the mountains, as elk and deer emerge into the golden light for their evening graze.
