Just what we were looking for. We spent a week with our daughter, son-in-law, and 3 year old granddaughter. Plenty of room in the house. We could bask in the mountain views with our coffee, enjoy a nice fire pit, and catch way more stars than I've seen in a long time. Our granddaughter loved the goat farm a few minutes down the road.
The house is about 10 minutes from the town for supplies. Leadville, Independence Pass, and Salida are all relatively close for exploring. The property is huge and borders the national forest. Mike, the host, has a house further up the slope. He was available if needed, but otherwise we had the place to ourselves.
