Luxury Cabin and Backyard

Native plantings and local materials add to the easy way this home's outdoor spaces blend with the natural landscape. The boulder-surrounded fire pit looks as much a part of the setting as the creek!

Outdoor Fireplace and Stairs to Creek

This property is situated alongside Colorado's Upper Bear Creek, so access to the water was an important part of the landscape design. Here, stone steps lead down from the patio and fireplace, right to the water's edge.

Hot Tub With Creek View

An in-ground hot tub overlooks the creek for an extra dose of relaxation. The tub and surrounding patio have the feel of a secluded forest pond, so they're beautiful even when not in use.

Rustic Fire Pit With String Lights
