My husband and I purchased our Base Camp One condo in the spring of 2011 as our second home because Colorado provides great respite from the Texas heat! I worked as a public school administrator but am now retired, and my husband is a college professor. The mountains provide us with peace, relaxation, and an opportunity to de-compress from our work lives. We work hard and sometimes we play hard. We both wanted a second home that would allow us to relax and 'get away from it all,' while providing opportunities to play hard! We also wanted a place so that our children and grandchildren could gather and enjoy the beauty of Colorado. Being together at the condo gives us time to enjoy each other and participate in great, fun activities together!
The minute that we get into the condo, we can feel the difference in our stress level. We simply can breathe better here! The awesome beauty of the area begins to erase the worries, and we take time to notice the sunsets, the color of the trees, and the kindness of our neighbors. At home, we never seem to have the time to work a puzzle or sit on the balcony and just talk, but at our Granby Getaway, we make the time to be together--looking for wildlife, listening to the grandkids play, enjoying wine and conversation while watching the stars.
We love our Granby Getaway and know that other families will enjoy the quiet, majestic beauty of the Colorado mountains, lakes, and rivers!
