When we first set foot on Eagles Nest Lane, we found a home that had been largely abandoned for thirty years — dated, rodent-damaged, and sitting forgotten at over 8,500 feet in the Colorado Rockies.
We also found our passion project for the last three years. A place that kept us drawn in and in love with the quiet mountain space, breathtaking views, and sunsets that finally made James Taylor's song "Fire and Rain" make so much more sense. For as bad of condition as it was in.. we just could not walk away.
It definitely had personality to spare: bold retro character charismatic enough to have once served as a music video set. We briefly considered a preservation project rather than a renovation.
But charm without livability isn't enough, and this home deserved more than nostalgia. And we needed a space that was restful and a peaceful place to connect with nature and each other. Somewhere just outside of space and time where anything happening in the city simply did not matter.
Our goal was transformation through calm. Where there had been decades of neglect and visual noise, we introduced softness, intention, and quiet — spaces designed first and foremost for rest. Every material choice, every finish, every detail was filtered through a single question: does this feel like a refuge?
The mountain definitely made us earn it. Renovating at high elevation means contending with unpredictable weather, complex logistics, and conditions that test every timeline. The altitude is humbling. But so is the reward — because when the work is done and the sun drops behind the ridge, the light that falls across that landscape is unlike anything else. It reminds you exactly why the effort was worth it.
The cabin at the top of Eagles Nest Lane is no longer a relic. It is, finally, a home and we are happy to share it with you.
