Colorado Thanksgiving

This house was perfect for the three of us. It was comfortable and had quick and easy travel to nearby shopping and attractions. It snowed a foot and it was great! We had never experienced fluffy, soft snow. It cut my shopping short, but Mother Nature had other plans. The owner was very responsive. I had requested a change and he was able to accommodate. It had a new deck installed, and it looked great. The grill was clean with a full tank of propane. Unfortunately, it was too cold for us to take advantage of this amenity. This place would definitely fit two families. I just happen to have a small one. We’ll keep this place in mind for a summer trip.
