Rock Rest ECO-Cabin was custom designed and built by the owner, a Denver based architect, in 2018. Each feature was selected, custom fabricated, and hand built by the owners, right down to the furniture. His goal was to create a totally original structure that combines modern lines with rustic textures and has a minimum impact on the environment. Even during construction, a crane was used to hoist materials over the trees as to disturb the site as little as possible. Rock Rest is a living art piece, and we are excited to share it with you!
The cabin utilizes reclaimed and locally sourced material, plus cutting edge building technology to provide an experience that is as comfortable and convenient.
