About the host

Hosted by Ryan and Megan Lawless

Host profile image
We moved to Colorado in 2012 and have been visiting the Salida/Buena Vista area for years. We fell in love with the small town feel of the Nathrop area, as well as the unbeatable access to river rafting, hiking, mountain biking and other adventures. We believe there's no better escape in Colorado than here...the bright and sunny days, the mammoth mountain ranges, the endless adventure, and the awesome nearby towns. We love it here and hope you will too.

Why they chose this property

The property in Nathrop is located on the top of a breathtaking open mesa overlooking three of the most spectacular peaks in the Sawatch Range. The home is private and secluded, with floor to ceiling windows capturing every angle of the property's amazing views. We loved the central location to all Chaffee County has to offer: Salida, Buena Vista, Mount Princeton Hot Springs, ghost towns, trail access galore, and of course the Arkansas River. Anything we want to do is usually a 15 minute drive away.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, comfort, and views. Our back lot is treed, secluded, and private. The home is furnished with comfort and entertaining in mind. The views of the mountains are 365 degrees and some of the best in Mesa Antero.
