Lakeside Magic in Big Elk Meadows | Gated Mountain Retreat

Discover a rare gem in the heart of Colorado’s high country—a stunning multi-level 3 bed, 1 bath cottage perched above the sparkling waters of Mirror Lake in the exclusive, gated Big Elk Meadows community.

Step inside and feel instantly at home. The main living area invites you to relax beside a charming antique style wood-burning stove, the perfect place to unwind with your favorite book or a warm drink. Just down the hall, the jetted tub in the main-level bathroom offers a spa-like escape after a day exploring the miles of surrounding forest trails.

Spacious private deck where the breathtaking lake and mountain views steal the show. It’s the ultimate setting for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or stargazing under a canopy of pines.

Downstairs walk-out basement features newer carpet, an electric fireplace heater, and a built-in entertainment surround sound system—ideal for movie nights or cozy evenings. Bonus: the stylish new sectional and furniture are included, making this a true turnkey retreat.

Recent upgrades include:

  • Beautiful wood, tile, and carpet flooring throughout the main level

  • Handcrafted rock retaining wall at home entrance and Flagstone pathway leading to the lake

  • Brick fire-pit and lakeside bench—your front-row seat to alpine serenity

The Big Elk Meadows community is surrounded by National Forest and loaded with resort-style amenities, including:

  • 5 trout-stocked lakes

  • Heated outdoor pool

  • Tennis, pickleball, basketball & volleyball courts

  • Horseshoe pits, hiking trails, and picnic areas

  • Roughly 300 acres of common pasture with horse boarding

  • Trailer storage, heli-pad, and full-time road maintenance

  • On-site fire volunteer department, community water system, and trash services

This is more than a home—it’s a peaceful escape, an investment opportunity, and a front-row seat to Colorado’s mountain magic.
