TWO GUESTS AND DON'T NEED A KITCHEN -- SEE THE SPECIAL FOR $125 NIGHTLY AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS DESCRIPTION.
Ponderosa Place is located on two private hillside acres with panoramic views to the north, east and south. The ponderosa pines stand as sentinels through the property providing privacy, shade and color. Backyard aspen also quake in the breeze. The large east and south facing deck provides a warm quiet place for coffee on crisp mountain mornings, and, transitions to afternoon shade as the sun moves to the west.
The primary level of the home has a wonderful great room, dining room and kitchen that opens to the wooden deck. For groups of four, there are two large bedrooms, one king and one queen, located on this level each with a private vanity and toilet. The pullman style bath provides a shared tub/shower combination between the two vanity areas. The bath area is accessed through your private vanity area. To reach this level, there is an interior stairway through the garage or an exterior stairway on the deck. The property is not suited for those who have difficulty with stairs.
For groups of six, the lower area of the home provides a large third queen bedroom, sitting room and bath with vanity, shower and toilet. The sitting room has a new 32' flat panel TV. If you are traveling in a group, this area provides a nice quiet private separation from the upper floor.
A spacious garage is available as you arrive to store your bicycles, ice cooler, fishing and other mountain gear. This is an impeccably clean garage with carpet (not for autos).
Ponderosa Place is entering the vacation rental market for her second season. The home has been refreshed with new lighting, ceiling fans in main floor bedrooms, new linens, fresh paint, and much more. You'll find everything you need in the kitchen from a spice rack to a blender.
Games are available for quiet time and rainy afternoons - cards, dominos, yahtzee.
The laundry room on the lower level is available for your use.
Please call for more information.
ONLY TWO PEOPLE AND DON'T NEED A KITCHEN -- CALL TO DISCUSS RENTING THE LOWER BEDROOM, BATH AND SITTING AREA ONLY FOR $125 PER NIGHT WITH A TWO NIGHT MINIMUM.

We visited the Lake City area in early May so we had every kind of weather from snow and wind to glorious sunshine. Ponderosa Place provided flexible, comfortable home-away-from-home accommodations for our party of five adults (two couples and one single) with plenty of privacy as needed and roomy, cheerful open space for cooking, dining and spending time together. Snowed like the dickens the first night so we REALLY enjoyed the wood burning stove insert in the great room fireplace. Impeccably clean and extremely well equipped in every way. We never looked for any amenity that was not immediately available. Great kitchen with spanking new appliances and every gadget, serving item, spice and staple we could ask for. Same with laundry facility. Very well equipped in every way. Comfortable furnishings throughout. Nice linens and bedding. Quiet, cozy baseboard hydronic heat. Lots of windows and decks to enjoy the mountain views. Located in a quiet and scenic area, harldy any traffic but still convenient to the town. Next time we need a place to stay in Lake City we will make our very first inquiry at the Ponderosa Place. Nice people too. We highly recommend.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We had a great time weather was nice scenary was outstanding! The House was very comfortable, the washing machine was VERY slow... We look forward to another Trip to Lake City and would enjoy staying at the Ponderosa Place again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: We're happy you had a nice stay in Lake City and enjoyed the Ponderosa Place. Thanks for the feedback about the washer. The new dryer and washer are Magtag high-efficiency purchased in June 2012. The washer has sensors for water use based on the weight of the load. We'll check to be sure it is working properly. We look forward to having you and your family back at the Ponderosa Place. The fall colors will be spectacular from the decks.

Our family gathered at Ponderosa Place coming from California and Texas. Having rented the entire house, we were able to enjoy all it's offerings. I think we all agreed that no place we've ever rented before in this area was as nicely appointed nor as well stocked. Our hope is to return...again and again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: It has been our dream to own mountain property in Lake City Colorado since we first traveled there decades ago. While continuing our careers in Utah, we've decided to open our home to Lake City visitors over the coming years until we can retire.
Why the Owner Chose Lake City:
Ponderosa Place provides high views of the surrounding mountains. While it is close to town and all the services, it offers privacy not found in town in the busy summer season.
