My husband says sitting on the desk in the early evening is his favorite place and his favorite time. I love the idea of being in a neighborhood without having the neighbors be that close to you. We see more wildlife than people - moose, elk, coyote, hummingbirds, owls - you name it. We are only a few minutes from outstanding camping and hiking, 20 minutes fro Estes Park, and 45 minutes from Boulder.
