In 2018, Frisbee's decided to look around and possibly buy property. Jennifer Frisbee was originally searching for opportunities in the high country, as they had always visited during the summer to off-road and spend time running the passes. They contacted an amazing realtor in the area and looked at some places while engaging in a crash course in Colorado real estate. They found the listing for the cabin online and made several trips to scope the property. They asked the realtor about it and initially he said, "Oh you don't want to see that. It has been abandoned and empty for years. It is very dirty, and the layout is wonky."
Little did he know, the family has a serious love for old things alongside an obsession for buying, redoing, and flipping them. In fact, Jennifer tends to be the “Queen of Bad Life Decisions and Hard Manual Labor.” (Just joking—sort of.) So, she told the realtor she wanted to go and look at it. As it turned out, the entire group ended up going to look at it that day. When they pulled up, every single one of them instantly knew it was the place for them. The cabin’s immediate vibe was amazing; it was like stepping back in time when you crossed over the threshold. They spent hours there that first visit, examining everything from the top of the roof to the house’s foundation. Yes, it was true that the old girl needed a lot of work, but her bones were solid, and they knew she had a ton of love left to give to their families.
The families closed on The Rustic in late 2018 and have traveled back and forth at least once a month since then, focused on fixing her up. She is an ongoing project, and one that is totally worth it. They are ecstatic knowing they can bring her back to life. What’s more, their project has attracted much interest—so they have decided to share The Rustic with others. They hope you enjoy her as much as they do.
