About the host

Hosted by Dan Jones

Host profile image
My wife and I, Dan and Lillie Jones, have lived on our 35 acre llama ranch since 1991 with llamas that were used for our llama outfitting business. We built the vacation home in 2007 to provide family, and guests like yourself a place to stay in our corner of paradise. As previous guests have said, "'your vacation home is tucked away and secluded, yet easily accessible to summer and winter recreation and is the best kept secret in Colorado."

Why they chose this property

Our vacation home is beautifully situated on a year-round creek with mountain views and access to millions of acres of year-round recreation. We have treasured our privilege to live here and to share it with others with our year-round modern guest cabin.

What makes this property unique

Many folks enjoy the seclusion, our year-round creek with fishing for brook trout, seeing llamas grazing from three decks and windows, the myriad of on-site and nearby recreation, the 25 plus species of birds around our vacation home, and of course, the stunning Rocky Mountains with the greatest concentration of 14,000 foot peaks (15) in the United States.
