Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
We are happily married Colorado transplants who have lived here for over 30 years. We love the outdoors and especially the mountains. We try to spend as much time in the Rockies as we can with our son and his family. My husband is a railroader with many miles under his belt and we try to match those miles with our own personal travels. We feel very blessed & thankful that we can share our vacation condo in this beautiful setting with you.
Why the Owner Chose St. Mary's Glacier
While driving, we saw a for sale sign in the window of this beautiful remote location. The view of the lake from our bedroom clinched it for us. It is easy to get to & close to Denver where we live. It is remote so it is not overrun by tourists. There are many ski areas within a 30 minute drive and is walking distance from the newly planned Eclipse Ski Park.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
There is a private lake just outside our bedroom window. Very peaceful & quiet. Hummingbirds, not people, are regular visitors.
