Stillwater Luxe is an eco-friendly, design-led lakefront escape for families and small groups who want equal parts downtime and mountain adventure—without feeling far from it all (just over an hour from Denver). Set on a wooded 2.5-acre lot at 9,000 feet, you’ll wake to aspen-lined views and spend your days moving between the water, the sauna, and the patio.
Inside, five upcycled shipping containers become a bright, modern home with three bedrooms, two full baths, and a fully stocked kitchen. The showstopper is the lake-facing wall of glass, framing Thorn Lake and the granite cliffs of Thorodin Mountain from the living room, dining area, and outdoor space. When you’re ready to explore beyond the shoreline, Golden Gate Canyon State Park is minutes away for hiking, biking, and wildlife watching, and Eldora Mountain makes an easy day trip for skiing in winter.

This is an incredible place. Everything was well thought out; there’s tons to do, even being “remote”. We saw a bald eagle perched up on the property almost every day and one night we got some moose visitors, literally rubbing antlers against the windows! Will 100% be coming back.

Our two night stay here was a great stop after visiting Boulder. The property is well laid out, and offers a lot to do. There is a canoe, kayak, and paddle boards for the small lake. There were plenty of puzzles and games. The record collection and arcade machine were a nice touch, as well.

Absolutely stunning! This was the most beautiful Airbnb I have ever stayed at. The changing leaves in early October around the lake were beautiful. The home sits on a private lake with no neighbors in sight which made our last getaway before having a baby extremely peaceful.
