Colorado Springtime - 340-Acre Sustainable Rocky Mountain Retreat

Our enhanced cleaning practices are at the bottom of this description. Your hosts are fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

We have expanded our vacation rental offering to include guests access to professionally designed hiking and mountain biking trails on our 340 acre mountain which is bordered by an additional 80 acres of BLM.

Serene get-away, nestled in the southern Rocky Mountains, with spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains from the deck, living room, and loft. Relax in the 7-person hot tub while enjoying the mountain views or the stars at night. Firepit with Adirondack chairs. Large deck with patio furniture, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, gas fireplace, TV viewing area, kitchen, dining room, and living room with mountain views. Hike the property and enjoy the nature and wildlife.

We consider ourselves stewards of the land and offer a choice to our guests to recycle, use 'paperless' paper towels and cloth napkins instead of single use paper products, and add to our compost. :-) Options while staying include purchasing foodstuffs from our neighbors such as organic free-range eggs, honey, and organic greenhouse vegetables. Grocery delivery, and home cooked meals are available for a fee from one of our neighbors. We want to assist our mountain community by providing opportunities for the community to serve you with (very) local choices and suppliers. If you are interested we will provide additional information, pricing and scheduling of these services.

=====
We use sunlight in addition to other cleaning methods and products (alcohol, bleach solutions, detergent and hot water, Thieves essential oil cleaners, ....) doing our best to present our guests with a clean and healthy vacation rental stay.

"The (COVID-19) virus dies quickest in the presence of direct sunlight," said William Bryan, science and technology adviser to the Department of Homeland Security.

The CDC recommends employing ventilation as part of the cleaning process, accordingly we are now blocking 36 hours between guests so that we can open all windows and doors to allow maximum fresh air and sunlight for first 24 hours after guests have left the house. The following day cleaning includes use of a disinfectant spray on all surfaces in the house.

After thorough cleaning, e.g. alcohol wipe down on all doorknobs, light switches, faucet handles, toilet seats and flushing handles, etc. we have implemented the following:

- Soft/porous surfaces
- rugs and floor mats: after cleaning are placed in the sun.
- living room couch, loveseat, chair, ottoman, couch cushions and couch pillows:
- spray with Lysol or 70% alcohol-based spray
- washable furniture covers - After cleaning they are placed on the clothes line for several hours.

- Hard surfaces are also spray with Lysol or 70% alcohol-based spray after a thorough cleaning.

We welcome and appreciate your thoughts and suggestions on improving our cleaning and disinfecting practices.

Thank you.

Magical stay
We had an absolutely magical stay for a quiet weekend getaway. The house is remote, the views are breathtaking, the saltwater hottub is hot, and we decided to give cooking a break and the owner, Joyce, made delicious meals for us (Greek lunch - best chicken soup ever; pot roast for dinner; and the absolute best coffee cake we have EVER tasted). We even got to help feed the chickens, and took some eggs home with us, which our kids loved. We’ll definitely be back. Such exceptional hosts and an exceptional property.

Breathtaking views, incredibly quiet mountain retreat
If you are looking for a quiet mountain getaway with stunning views this place is a dream! It's on top of a mountain with miles of unobstructed views. Quietest place I've ever been. Zero noise from roads/neighbors. No light pollution, can see the milky way! Joyce and Michael are super helpful and sweet while giving guest plenty of space and privacy. Tons of space inside, clean and well appointed, feels homey. Keep in mind, it's a long way from the nearest store, but we saw this as a bonus and planned accordingly. Also, Joyce helped arrange for her neighbor to deliver an incredible meal the first night. A wonderful experience, I highly recommend!

A few key takeaways. #1: Not Private #2: Not Contactless - Host in the Home Upon Our Arrival (post checkin time) #3: The Intrusive Host Also Arrived Later and Unannounced at the Back Door to Retrieve Food from the Refrigerator #4: Non-functioning Fireplace #5: Poor Cleanliness (Host admitted the home wasn’t professionally cleaned) #6: Empty Toiletries, Missing Coffee and Kitchen Essentials #7: Dangerously Loose Banister #8: Cat in the Home without Notification #9: Garland Left Strewn on the Banister 9: Billed Unprofessionally #10: Obviously and Simply a Disappointing and Unexpected Experience for My Family Who Came Out of State to Share a Special Holiday/Birthday Getaway

Incredible location
My wife and I were so impressed with the views and location of this property. The drive in alone from the main highway is incredibly scenic and significantly compliments the overall experience of staying in this home. We enjoyed the location and community so much that we are seeking land in the area ourselves. I overlooked the portion of the description where the hosts live on site. However, that is my fault and not the host, and we were not bothered or inconvenienced by them at any time during our stay. Very comfortable bed, high speed Wi-Fi, and serene views at all hours of the day (even at night). We hope to be back soon!

Prepare to be amazed at the breathtaking views!
If you are looking for a stunningly beautiful, remote mountain getaway, this is the place! The home is gorgeous, has everything you need, and the hosts are friendly and helpful. The hiking trails on the property are well-developed and maintained. Don't forget to download or print up all of the directions, including the gate code, before you head to the property because you will not have signal, as Joyce says in her detailed instructions. Also, unless you like to sleep on really thin pillows, bring your own to have a comfortable sleep. New pillows would be our only suggestion for improvement! We can't wait to come back someday!

Breathtaking
We did a weekend trip to visit the Royal Gorge and do some white water rafting. We were looking for a nice place to relax and enjoy the mountains. Well, we found it. This place was just perfect. Off the beaten path, up on the mountain, with sweeping views of mountains and valleys. The house was well appointed, clean and well stocked. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.it is about an hour from the nearest town and about 40 minutes from the a Royal Gorge bridge and activities So it’s important to plan accordingly so you don’t have to run out for anything! We will absolutely go back again and try to spend more than two nights there. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Mountain Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this mountain top location. About 45 minutes from Canon City, it was secluded and scenic just like we wanted. Joyce & Michael are sweet & wonderfully informative about the land, wildlife, and Colorado in general. I would recommend it to anyone.
