The Divide Alpine Retreat

Set on four private acres bordering the vast wilderness of Pike National Forest, this charming mountain chalet offers an inviting blend of rustic comfort and handcrafted design. Custom built with hand-milled wood throughout, the home feels warm, intimate, and deeply connected to its alpine surroundings. Whether guests arrive seeking outdoor adventure or a peaceful retreat, the property serves as an ideal base to explore Divide, Woodland Park, Manitou Springs, and the iconic highlights of the Pikes Peak region.

Inside, every room evokes the cozy ambiance of a Bavarian-inspired mountain lodge. The great room and chef’s kitchen invite connection after a day outdoors, while natural textures and custom woodwork add a sense of craftsmanship and authenticity. Large windows frame the surrounding evergreens, and the home’s layout encourages both togetherness and quiet relaxation. With Netflix, family games, kids’ books, and Wi-Fi, it balances rustic charm with modern conveniences.

Stepping outside, guests discover a variety of spaces designed to enjoy Colorado’s crisp air and mountain beauty. A short private trail leads to a secluded observation deck overlooking a small meadow—perfect for morning coffee, wildlife watching, or sunset views. The expansive deck offers room to dine, grill, and unwind, while a covered patio provides a sheltered fire pit area for evening gatherings. The private hot tub offers a restorative soak under star-studded skies, and the ping-pong table and corn hole add playful downtime.

Centered near some of Colorado’s most beloved outdoor attractions, the home places guests minutes from world-class hiking, ATV routes, fly fishing, kayaking, tubing, snowshoeing, and winter trails. After exploring Garden of the Gods, Mueller State Park, the Royal Gorge, or the summit of Pikes Peak, returning to the comfort of the chalet creates the perfect end to each day. Its blend of nature, privacy, and thoughtful amenities makes it a memorable mountain escape for families, couples, or small groups.

Offering full access to the home and all four acres, this Divide retreat provides space to roam, explore, and slow down. With handcrafted details, sweeping outdoor spaces, and easy proximity to Colorado’s adventure corridor, it delivers a relaxed yet elevated mountain experience with the soul of a handcrafted alpine hideaway.
