About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Lake View 5-Bedroom House with a Mountain Backdrop
The “Overlook at Palmer Lake” is a haven that will captivate you upon arrival. You will find yourself tucked away from the encumbrance of big city bustle, embraced by the welcoming chatter of intrepid wildlife and bubbly townsfolk. The scrub oak nestling the home and the embracing surround of mountains, will both ensure you feel nicely tucked in! Come enjoy your stay with us to better appreciate Colorado’s unfurling skies and rolling foothills.
The space Entering the “Overlook at Palmer Lake,” you are greeted by cathedral ceilings, a bright main living room and a double-sided gas fireplace. The nine-foot windows will immediately beckon you to step out onto the deck where you will discover the meaning behind our name. Palmer Lake ripples with meandering paddleboards and various waterfowl that call the lake home. You will surely encounter our beloved train that passes under the footbridge, leading you into the heart of the town of Palmer Lake. Each level of the home flaunts its own unique outdoor escape. Enjoy the morning light and hot coffee on the front porch, watch the sun set on the upper deck while barbequing on the Blackstone Grill or sip some wine while cozied up on our lower stamped patio. On warm weekend nights, you will hear live music trailing across the lake from a couple of our favorite local haunts.
The Master Suite being kissed with late morning light, you may find it difficult to pull from your comfy king-size bed, but the day awaits! There are adventures to be had! Get up! We have actually ensured that all of our rooms have thermal black-out curtains, because we know, well and good, that this quaint town can kick up a roarin’ good time on the weekends! If this is the situation, keep the door locked, curtains closed and enjoy soaking in the jetted bathtub! Or the two-person tiled shower. No one has to know.
Also, on the main floor is a room geared towards youth. There is a bunk bed with a Twin on top over a comfy Full-Size bed (yes for the unfortunate single folk. We’ve all been there!) and a cushy memory foam Twin trundle bed. The built-in desk is perfect for little drawings or even a quick catch up with some work. If a Pack n’ Play is needed, we have one at your convenience with a soft/firm reversible mattress insert depending on your infant’s age and need. It also includes fresh sheets to keep your little one comfortable all night. Fingers crossed!
There is a secondary Master Bedroom with King Bed, and two more cozy bedrooms with Queen Beds in the basement. The King and Queen are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom that is private to only these two rooms. Each bathroom downstairs has a tub and shower. In the center of these rooms is the rec-room, a secondary living room with a La-Z-Boy Queen Sleeper Sofa, large Flat Screen TV, and a foosball table! The laundry room is available for all guests and has a GE Profile washer with automatic detergent and fabric softener dispensers and a GE Profile gas dryer with Steam De-wrinkle Setting for refreshing any of your packed (a.k.a. creased!) clothing.
The Overlook at Palmer Lake is just down the road from the Award-Winning Spruce Mountain Ranch Venue and Cattle Events, Spruce Mountain Trailhead and ample open spaces to experience the countryside on foot or horseback. Palmer Lake is nestled minutes between the homespun pubs and eateries of Larkspur and the hip and historic district of the town of Monument, although we prefer the short walk across the bridge to the other side of lake where you’ll find unique bistros, famed ice-cream, and upbeat bars. You’ll have stopped only for a bite to eat, but will quickly find yourself enmeshed in the lively authenticity of small-town bustle.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 7 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

What a bridge!
Very well designed house that can accommodate a family comfortably. It was nice having access to the garage to set up bikes and packing the cars. Easy access to Palmer Lake and other areas in Colorado. It would be nice to have at least an 11AM checkout.

Family Vacation/Wedding
We loved the location of the house, it was close to the wedding venue and all the places we visited. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The lake was a great place to fish and the kids loved the playground. It was nice to be able to walk to town for drinks and ice cream. Thanks for letting us enjoy your house.

Perfect for Parents Weekend!
We had our family plus our best friends with us for Parents Weekend at the Air Force Academy. Everyone keeps saying what a wonderful time we had making memories together and spending time on the lake. The cadets got much needed rest and mom's cooking. Perfect location and very comfortable home. We laughed hysterically playing Catch Phrase thanks to the extensive library of games at the house! We will definitely re-book for our next trip!

Family Base for Air Force Academy Graduation
Wonderful property and host for our Air Force academy graduation week. We were 12 people arriving from Minnesota - and the home was comfortable for a group of this size. About a 20 minutes drive from the base, nestled in the mountainous area of Palmer Lake, with the lake, park, mountain trails and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommended.
