Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Hi. My name is Susan Vineyard. I've lived in Colorado since 2000. My partner, Tim, and I are blessed with three beautiful, pet friendly mountain homes that we offer for rent at reasonable rates. Each home has its own "personality" which is reflected in tasteful, relaxing decor that is the Colorado lifestyle. Weather you seek big views, rustic comfort, or gold medal fishing, you won't be disappointed in any of our properties. Please search "Deckers" and "Lake George" areas in VRBO for a preview of our other listings. Thanks for looking and welcome to Colorado!
Why the Owner Chose Cripple Creek
We chose this location for its spectacular views, optimum privacy and close proximity to Cripple Creek. We love the solid log structure, the open living space and natural light. We love the spectacular views and wild life. We love that our dogs can run free and "be dogs" without imposing on neighbors.
The Unique Benefits of this Log Home
Visitors will enjoy being centrally located to the Royal Gorge, Florissant Fossil Beds, Mueller State Park, scenic drives, mining and heritage tours, horseback riding and hiking. Our recently installed hot tub with big views of Pikes Peak has been a huge hit this summer. Many will appreciate that this is a pet-friendly and smoke-free home.
