The spacious dining table comfortably accommodates eight guests, making it perfect for family gatherings or dinner parties. At the front of the home, you'll discover a charming bedroom adorned with a plush queen bed and a large closet that provides ample storage for your belongings. Just steps away, a shared bathroom awaits, offering modern amenities with a tub/shower combination and a convenient full-size washer and dryer. As you venture further, you'll find three additional connected bedrooms tucked away toward the back of the home.

Continuing through the next room features a cheerful twin bunk bed, ideal for younger guests.

After these rooms you will head through to the luxurious master suite which beckons with its king bed, a stylish desk for any work needs, and a private bathroom complete with a spacious shower and a walk-in closet. This serene retreat also offers direct access to the backyard, allowing for easy enjoyment of the outdoor space.

A charming gas fire table provides a perfect spot to gather around in the evenings, along with a fun swing for the kids to enjoy.

The expansive yard invites you to run, play games, and soak up the sun, all while being just a short stroll away from the scenic La Plata River, where you can embrace the beauty of nature. Anglers can take advantage of the river's clear, cold waters to fish while the surrounding landscape, rich with cottonwood trees and wildlife, is ideal for hiking, birdwatching, and photography. In the warmer months, picnicking by the riverbank or simply relaxing to the soothing sounds of flowing water makes for a perfect afternoon. Whether you're exploring the nearby trails of the La Plata Mountains or stargazing under a crisp night sky, the setting offers both adventure and tranquility in a truly Colorado mountain setting. (Please be aware that the river's level may fluctuate depending on the weather and the season.)

House is very comfortable and well maintained. The way the rooms are set up makes it a bit difficult with children as there are three rooms all connected and if someone is sleeping, then others can get trapped. Neighbors have a somewhat aggressive dog that made it difficult to let our dog out in the yard (not fully fenced, so neighbor dog came into our yard). The location is covenient and quiet, a great resting spot for all sorts of adventures in the area.
