Local Spotlight: Timeless Style & Elevated Living at Mountain Home
If you’ve ever wandered through downtown Evergreen and found yourself drawn to that beautifully restored historic barn near Meadow Drive, you’ve likely discovered Mountain Home—a true gem in our foothills community.
This month, I’m thrilled to highlight this incredible local business as part of our July newsletter. Whether you're a longtime Evergreen resident or just settling into the mountain lifestyle, Mountain Home is one of those places that instantly makes you feel at home (with just the right amount of wow factor).
From Historic Landmark to Design Destination
Mountain Home is located inside the Hiwan Barn, a structure steeped in local history. Built in 1942, this barn once housed award-winning Hereford cattle (yes, really), and over the years, it’s evolved from a livestock shelter to a museum, to a hardware store, and now—something much more inspiring.
Today, it anchors the Evergreen Design Center, a collective of local businesses that bring style, creativity, and craftsmanship to the heart of our mountain town.
Inside Mountain Home: More Than Just Beautiful Things
Walk through the doors and you’ll instantly feel like you’ve entered a thoughtfully curated retreat. This is no ordinary home store. It’s a blend of Colorado rustic charm and refined, relaxed luxury—the kind of place where everything feels intentional, personal, and effortlessly beautiful.
🌿 What You'll Find:
Custom furniture and curated home décor that blends natural materials and timeless design.
Locally sourced art from names you might already recognize—like Betsy Buckner and Margaretta Caesar—celebrating our mountain lifestyle through color, texture, and form.
Lifestyle finds ranging from artisan candles and bath goods to hats, boots, jewelry, and kitchenware that feel like they were made for a cozy cabin (or your dream mountain home).
Interior design services led by owner Alexa Cowley and her talented team, who specialize in bringing out the best in a space while honoring your unique style.
The Heart Behind the Brand
Mountain Home isn’t just beautifully styled—it’s run by people who genuinely love this community and what they do.
Alexa Cowley, the owner and lead designer, has been creating warm, welcoming interiors for over 20 years. Her style? Think transitional with a twist: earthy textures, organic elements, and cozy sophistication.
Stephanie Wood, a Conifer native, is not only the store manager and designer—she’s also a passionate advocate for sustainable living and creative expression.
Cassandra Whitney, the assistant manager, brings a refined design eye honed from years in high-end retail and home design, including her time with Ralph Lauren Home.
Together, they’ve built a team that’s talented, approachable, and rooted in the community. Mountain Home is one of my go-to recommendations when clients are looking to furnish or refresh their foothills home. Whether they’re new to the area or longtime locals ready for a design update, this team always exceeds expectations. They make the design process approachable, inspiring, and genuinely fun!
A Hub for Art, Events, and Connection
One of the things I love most about Mountain Home is how they make shopping feel like an experience. Whether you’re stopping in to browse or attending a trunk show, there’s always something happening here.
📅 Upcoming Events:
Boots, Bags & Botox – July 17
A fun and fabulous trunk show featuring Western-inspired fashion and a splash of local flair.
Late Summer Design Workshop – August (Date TBA)
Sip wine, gather design inspiration, and get tips from Alexa and the team on transitioning your home from summer into fall with ease and elegance.
They keep things fresh, seasonal, and full of personality! Stay in the loop as they also host seasonal workshops like charcuterie boards, wreath-making, and wine tastings that bring the community together in ways that feel meaningful and memorable. Totally worth marking your calendars for!
Why Mountain Home Stands Out
As someone who works in real estate and spends a lot of time thinking about the way people live in and connect to their homes, I can tell you this: Mountain Home understands lifestyle on a deeper level. It’s not about trends—it’s about timeless comfort, thoughtful design, and a sense of place.
It’s a reflection of the Evergreen spirit—creative, grounded, and beautiful.
Whether you’re furnishing a home, shopping for a gift, or simply want to be inspired, Mountain Home is worth the visit. I’m so excited to feature them this month and hope you’ll stop in and see what makes this space so special.
Until next month,
Julia
