The convenience of the city, with the sweet beauty of Colorado open spaces. The house has spacious light-filled rooms, super comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom, plenty of hanging-out space, and--given the cold winter--very effective heating. I loved feeding carrots to Candy, the horse, and would have enjoyed hanging out in the huge back yard to watch her with the other horses (though it was too cold for that during our stay). I also appreciated Maggie's thoughtfulness and quick responses to our questions. Altogether a great place to stay!
