Our family planned a visit to see the surrounding area, and the location was perfect. We drove to Estes Park for a day trip and visited Boulder and the way back. We saw a concert at Red Rocks, which was less then 30 mins away. Also, visited Lookout Mountain and Golden, which was also less than 30 mins away. Overall, great trip. The house is in the mountains a bit, about 15 mins from the main road, but we enjoyed being tucked away a bit, but also being so close to everything. The house has amazing views of the mountains. Beautiful home!
