About the host
Your host
I’m a musician from Colorado. This is my ski chalet, music/art retreat, and basecamp for mountain adventures. We come up to the Purple Palace and play music, relax, and enjoy the small town charm.
Why they chose this property
It’s in the heart of Alma, one of my favorite small towns in Colorado close to a major ski resort. You can walk to town in seconds out the front door, and to national Forest in seconds out the back.
What makes this property unique
It’s a small humble house, full of love and character. We saved this house that was crumbling into the ground. And made it our ski chalet and Basecamp for adventure adventures. It’s so cozy with the old-school wood-burning stove. And the loft with vintage video games, vinyl records, and musical instruments is my version of heaven. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
