 🌟 Welcome to the Peter MacFarlane Home (Circa 1873) Step into Colorado gold rush history—fully modernized for the ultimate luxury mountain escape. Nestled in the heart of historic Central City (just 35 miles from Denver), this beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom estate offers the perfect blend of Victorian-era soul and 21st-century comfort. Whether you are here to catch a world-class performance at the Central City Opera (an easy walk away), test your luck at the Black Hawk casinos, or tear up the local ATV/OHV trails in Gilpin and Clear Creek Counties, this is your premier basecamp. 💎 Why This Property Stands Out (Our Best Perks) • Zero Chores, No Cleaning Fee: We believe vacations should end on a high note. No checkout laundry lists, no vacuuming, no hidden fees. Just don't trash the place, lock up when you leave, and head home happy! • Dog-Friendly Paradise: Your four-legged family members are welcome! We feature a small fenced dog run, plus bowls and a crate on-site so you can pack light. • Free EV Charging: A dedicated, complimentary level 2 EV charger sits right on the property (NACS & J1772 compatible). • Family-Ready: With books, board games, safety gear, high chair, travel crib, and comfortable spaces all around, we're happy to welcome families with kids of any age. • Ultimate Yard & Play Space: Set on a massive lot, our beautiful & peaceful yard features lawn games (Bocce, Croquet, Cornhole, Lawn Darts), private outdoor seating, and a dual gas/wood grill setup. • Central City’s Largest Private Parking Area: No street parking headaches. We have the largest private on-property parking area available in town—with ample, flat room to easily park multiple cars or an ATV/OHV trailer. • Cannabis-Friendly: Enjoy Colorado's culture in peace. Private, respectful adult consumption is allowed inside. 🏡 The Space & Layout Designed for families, friend groups, and adventure seekers, the home is exceptionally spacious and thoughtfully curated: • The MacFarlane Suite (Main Bedroom - Upper Floor): A massive retreat featuring a plush King-sized bed, cozy private sitting area, and a walk-out porch perfect for your morning coffee. Pamper yourself in the massive en-suite bathroom featuring a glorious, deep soaking tub. • The Junior Suite (Upper Floor): A quiet sanctuary with a Queen-sized bed and its own private, full en-suite bathroom. • The Bunk Room (Upper Floor): Perfect for kids or singles, featuring a sturdy Twin-over-Twin bunk bed. • The Flex Room (First Floor): A versatile extra room equipped with a convertible futon, served by a nearby bathroom. • The Chef’s Kitchen: Fully-equipped and modernized with high-end appliances (including a double oven), sharp knives, a spice bar, cookware, bakeware, all the utensils & tools you'd need, and premium barware for crafting the perfect cocktail. • Living Room & Bonus Seating Area: Our cozy living room features a comfortable couch and two zero-gravity recliners, perfect for watching a movie on the 55" Bring-Your-Own-Streaming-Account TV. A bonus seating area near the kitchen offers a cozy place for tea with it's own TV. • Large Dining Area: Everyone has a place to sit at our large family dining table. 📖 The History: Sleep in a Piece of Colorado's Legacy Built in 1873, this house was the private home of Peter MacFarlane, one of Central City’s earliest entrepreneurs. MacFarlane & Co helped construct many of the buildings you still see in town today, including the famous Central City Opera House. When the gold rush faded, MacFarlane personally bought the Opera House to save it from demolition. A generation later, his heirs donated the masterpiece back to the community, establishing the world-renowned Central City Opera Association that thrives today. Staying here isn't just booking a room—it’s stepping into the living heritage of the American West! 🏔️ Location & Nearby Mountain Adventures You are perfectly positioned at the intersection of history, nightlife, and world-class outdoor recreation: • Arts & Culture: Walk to the Central City Opera (famous 5-week summer festival) and explore historic Main Street’s shops and museums. • Casinos & Nightlife: Central City and Black Hawk casinos are just a 2-minute drive or shuttle ride away. • Mighty Argo Cable Car (Idaho Springs): Take a scenic 10-minute gondola ride up Virginia Canyon Mountain Park for incredible views of Mount Blue Sky, epic hiking, and world-class mountain biking. • Hot Springs: Two hot springs facilities are nearby, including the well-known Indian Hot Springs in Idaho Springs, and the private Raspberry Hot Springs nestled in the nearby mountain (4WD required). • Outdoor Thrills: Minutes away from ATV/OHV trailheads, white-water rafting, fishing, and hiking in Gilpin and Clear Creek Counties. Major ski resorts are within a 45-to-60-minute drive! ❤️ Thoughtful 5-Star Details • High-Altitude Comfort: Mountain air can be dry. We provide high-quality humidifiers and bedside fans in the bedrooms to keep you comfortable. • Forgotten Essentials Stocked: We go the extra mile. In the bathrooms, you'll find extras of the things travelers frequently forget: toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, shaving cream, and discreet personal care/wellness items. • High-Speed WiFi: Powered by Starlink, the WiFi reaches all over the property and reaches speeds up to 150 Mbps. • Crafting Special Moments: If you're celebrating something special, let us know. We offer add-on services to tailor the home for your moment, like balloons, flowers, champagne, or something discreet. Guest access We use contactless self-check-in with a smart lock, so you can arrive and settle in on your own schedule. You will have exclusive, private access to the entire home, yard, and all amenities. 🚗 Ample Parking: Street parking in mountain towns can be a nightmare—but not here. We boast the largest private, on-property parking available in Central City. There is flat, ample space to easily park multiple vehicles. There's also space for a small or medium-sized ATV, OHV, or snowmobile trailer, making this the ultimate basecamp for backcountry adventurers. Other things to note Colorado mountain communities are sensitive to fire risk. Please note that certain amenities or activities may be unavailable during elevated fire bans, including open-flame fire pits or outdoor smoking. The gas grill is always allowed. Colorado mountain communities occasionally experience power outages, but they're usually no more than a couple hours and we get notified immediately, and will keep you updated about restoration times. The door lock and smoke alarms will still work. We'll notify you ahead of time if Xcel plans any of their "public safety outages" during your stay. This house has shallow stairs and some uneven walkways. Those with mobility needs should ask us specific questions in advance. Our no-chores, no-cleaning fees, no-nickel and diming policy is a social agreement. Please respect the home and let us know if something breaks so we can fix or replace it. Dogs yes, Cats no (sorry we're allergic). Iguanas ... maybe? Small events or gatherings are allowed with prior approval. A cleaning fee does apply to these as there's more work to clean up. Content creation is permitted. We'd love to see what you create. After booking, we'll ask you to review and agree to a rental agreement and will ask for a photo of your ID. This ensures you are you and that we're checking off all the compliance things we need to do. This also enables your stay for $1,500 worth of accidental damage coverage at no cost to you! It only takes a couple minutes and there's no app to install. Once this is completed, we'll share your door code the day before arrival. Long-term stays (more than 28 days) require a lease agreement & background checks.
