Chaparral Chalet | House in Saguache County, CO

Cozy Mountain Chalet • Big Sangre Views • Fire Pit + Stellar Night Skies
Walk in, drop your bags, and look up—the Chalet frames Challenger Point, Crestone Peak, and Kit Carson right from the living room. This cozy, secluded family basecamp sleeps 6 with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and it’s designed for the kind of mountain trip that feels easy: great coffee, warm floors, a chef’s kitchen, and a patio view you’ll keep circling back to.
Start your mornings at the loaded coffee bar with three ways to brew: Chemex, Ninja drip, and Keurig, plus a grinder and fresh Equator Coffee. Cook comfortably in the chef’s kitchen (with Penzeys spices on hand), then end the day with an indoor jetted tub soak or a long evening outside at the fire pit. The patio directly faces Challenger, and the property’s dark, quiet setting makes stargazing genuinely special—use a red-light headlamp to preserve night vision while staying safe.
The Chalet is lovingly decorated with selections from local artists—light-filled and restorative—with drapes for nighttime privacy. You’ll also find a curated collection of books (including kids books), plus an entertainment cabinet stocked with Springbok puzzles and games. Settle in with premium seating, Sonos sound for easy music throughout your stay, high-quality linens, and a washer/dryer that makes longer trips painless. Pets are welcome, and we even keep doggie treats ready.
Outside, enjoy the Blackstone grill, established piñon pines, a seasonal arroyo, and frequent local wildlife sightings—plus off-street parking and a secure outdoor area for your furry children.
