About the host
Hosted by Jill & Kevin
We travel a lot and want to share our custom home built and designed by us with you. We homesteaded the property with our 3 children living in a 1969 Airstream while we cleared the property and built our dream home. Solar system and battery bank provide power when the grid goes down. Fresh mountain water from 600 feet down provides the best tasting water you will ever have. Our now adult children come home just to fill their water bottles to take with them.
Why they chose this property
Snuggled amongst the trees and wildlife this property provides a quiet retreat from the city but is close enough to work and play in the city. Property backs up to the national forest and regularly has visitors that include deer, bears and large variety of birds.
What makes this property unique
Private access to National Forest. Hiking, bike and Jeep trails near by. Inverted floor plan gets you up above the tree line to enjoy your coffee and outstanding views.
