Darrow’s Pond Retreat - Suncadia's Biggest Rental w/Heated Pool, 20-Person Hot Tub, and 2 Firepits!

Welcome to Darrow’s Pond Retreat, the biggest and most unique rental home in Suncadia!

We designed this estate home from the ground up to be a resort within the resort, including 9 bedrooms *and* a 6-kid bunk room, a chef's kitchen with wine bar, a heated swimming pool, a 20-person hot tub, a separate kiddie pool with splash features, two giant fire pits, a movie theatre style media room, a rec room with pool table, shuffleboard and foosball, a covered porch with gas-powered BBQ and industrial space heaters, heated walkways to the hot tub and pool, a garage for at least 2 vehicles, a separate parking pad for 3 vehicles, and a wide circular driveway that allows parking along the side with enough room to still drive around. Did you read all of that right? Yep.

Like to cook? The home features a fully stocked chef’s kitchen with two Miele dishwashers, a Wolf double-oven gas range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, a walk-in pantry with an additional full-sized refrigerator, a double-faucet sink, a wine bar off the kitchen for cocktail hour, an ice maker, two wine fridges, and place settings for at least two dozen people.

Want to relax and take in the Cascade forest? This 8,000 square foot retreat house was built on two large lots that overlook Darrow’s Pond and the 5th hole of The Prospector Golf Course. Four bedrooms feature private decks that take full advantage of the view and provide the perfect place for your morning coffee or that “I’m in-the-office but not really” conference call.

Nine of the ten bedrooms are en-suite with a private bathroom and a King or Queen size bed – we designed the lay-out so there is not a “bad room” in the entire house. The tenth bedroom, a 6-bed bunk room, is across the hall from a giant bathroom. Two of the three bunk beds have Queen beds on the bottom.

If your kids are too young for the 6-bed bunk room, two of the suites include an extra day bed that are perfect for families with young children and the other suites are big enough to accommodate a blow-up mattress (some could easily fit two). One suite also features a loft for big(ger) kids that is accessible only by ladder, but can easily sleep one or two kids who bring a sleeping bag to sleep in their own cool “fort.”

Want your own get-away within the get-away? One of the bedrooms is the separate pool house, which features a Queen Murphy bed and its own bathroom with shower. The pool house also has a sink, wine/drink fridge, dishwasher, and an ice maker.

The large heated pool and 20-person hot tub are available year-round* and were designed for fun, fun, and more fun! The entire length of one side of the pool is a submerged “bench” that allows you to sit in the pool while enjoying your favorite adult beverage. Rather work on your tan? Then enjoy the entire width of one end of the pool that is about a foot deep and was made for relaxing in lounge chairs *in the water.* Got kids? No worries, so do we, which is why we built a separate kiddie pool with water spout features that is located right next to the big pool. (The entire pool and hot tub area is fenced in with a safety latch.)

Not a pool person? Need to escape the sun? Well then come enjoy the pool house that is just a few steps from the pool and was built to eliminate any need to go back inside the main house. The pool house features its own bathroom with shower, plus everything you need to tend bar poolside: an ice maker, sink, and dishwasher! Don’t feel like walking the 50 feet back into the main house to sleep? Or want your own private cabin? No sweat – the pool house (the ninth bedroom) includes a Murphy bed!!

Whether you are looking for a quiet family get away, a corporate retreat, a family reunion, a home to host your wedding party, a guys or girls weekend, or an epic anniversary or birthday bash, this retreat was created to shatter your expectations. Ditch the crowds and hang out at your own private resort!! Look at the photos for the floor plan of each level of the home (they are the last few photos as you scroll through).

The location of this 10-bedroom retreat cannot get much better. It is conveniently located in the heart of Suncadia and is just minutes by car from Suncadia’s many offerings (not that you’ll need them):

One minute to Battista Park
Three minutes to Swiftwater Cellars
Three minutes to Prospector Golf Course Club House
Three minutes to Rope Rider Golf Course Club House
Three minutes to The Lodge at Suncadia

Details on the Heated Pool, Hot Tub, and Kiddie Pool:

The large outdoor pool is open and heated year round.

For safety and the sanity of their parents, the kiddie pool is open between May 1st and October 14th.

The 20-person hot tub is open year-round and is kept at a balmy 103 degrees, free-of-charge.

Remember the paved walkway to the hot tub, pool, and 7-foot fire pit is heated, so you’ll be like the post office: neither rain nor snow will keep you away!

Events must be pre-approved and an added site fee is applicable. Failure will result in fines up to $10,000.
