Yatahey-A Mountain Retreat

Tucked into a quiet area of Lower Alpine and just steps from the Rio Grande River, you'll find this cozy, family-friendly home offering spectacular mountain views and all the serenity you seek for your next Southwest Colorado vacation. Your convenient location gives you access to the vast Rio Grande National Forest, which boasts 1.8 million acres and includes hundreds of trails. Great to explore no matter the time of year, take a trek via ATVs, snowmobiles, horseback, or even strolls. Head out directly from the house and have the adventure of a lifetime. Summitville Ghost Town and nearby mines also present possible fun endeavors.

Sports enthusiasts should bring their clubs, as the Rio Grande Club & Resort features a championship 18-hole course. Try pickleball at the local community center or river rafting with an outfitter for other active options. If you're looking for something more mellow, the Rio Grande river is begging you to cast a line there, and you may walk away with a trophy trout. Take in the stunning views of the Rockies from the Beaver Mountain Trailhead. If that's not enough, head to Revolution Rail for a unique and thrilling mountain biking experience, or explore Million Reservoir for a day of boating and swimming. For the colder months, the Wolf Creek Ski Area, about 22 miles away, offers premium skiing, or you could go to Rickels Arena for free ice skating.

After hiking nearby trails, play a friendly game of foosball, snuggle up in front of the fireplace for movie nights with your loved ones, or use the free high-speed WiFi to catch up with emails while you've been away from it all. The in-home washer/dryer makes quick work of the day's clothes, and the grill on the back deck makes quick work of dinner prep. Take in the stunning sunset over the mountains and end the day as you began, back outside - but this time, toasting your good luck at booking such a sweet escape. Spend quiet mornings sipping coffee on your back deck while you watch for wildlife or frolic in the enclosed yard. Inside, you'll find an open floor plan, high ceilings, and lots of space designed to relax with loved ones. Step into the full, well-equipped kitchen to whip up mealtime masterpieces, then sit down for a family meal at the adjacent dining table.
