Or light a fire in our fire ring while watching the night sky. From the porch you can see passing by (specially early and at dusk) Elk, deer, turkey and hummingbirds that you can watch and admire. The house has two rooms with 1 King and the other 1 Queen, one room with 1 single and one Double/Full , 1 single bed on the upper loft. 2 couches that turn to beds. A lovely brand new kitchen to cook and a wrap around porch and deck to enjoy views and the sound of the creek \- Hiking \- relaxing by the pond & creek \- Hunting & Fishing \- Wolf sanctuary in the valley \- River rafting \- Mountain biking \- Excursions to Hot springs, skiing Art & Jazz Festivals, Sand Dunes \- Dark Sky Sanctuary & observatory in Westcliffe It is a wonderful quiet place with no one around, yet 15 min you can be in town and check out one of the local restaurants/coffee shops and fun gift stores. At times we are at the upper part of our property You are welcome to visit with us, but we basically let our guests enjoy the place on their own,We hope you enjoy all the nature and Privacy. We also have two really lovely dogs, Martin and Tiny, they are here to keep the bears away, and are amazing guard dogs.
