OVERVIEW
Points and Pines Hideaway is a cozy mountain retreat nestled in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Bailey, Colorado. A tribute to the wildlife that inhabit the area, (there is a resident moose that often wanders through!) and the pine and aspen grove it sits in, this property was updated in 2025 as an ode to adventure. Located at the edge of the Pike National Forest, the owner designed the home with the spirit of bringing the outdoors in.
It's one bed (California King), one bath cabin with a pull out sofa/Queen that comfortably sleeps 4 people. South-facing views on a brand new deck and floor-to-ceiling windows are unparalleled in this corner of the world. The hot tub has 270-degree views that include Regal Lake to the east and Crooked Top Mountain to the southwest. It has a side yard and is dog friendly. If you’re looking for a quiet basecamp in the mountains that’s close to year-round activities, this place is worth checking out.
