OUR BOOKINGS ARE CURRENTLY BEING HANDLED BY CUCHARA VACATION RENTALS. THE SUMMER IS OPEN BUT THE BOOKINGS NEED TO BE MADE THROUGH THEM.
At 9,200 feet elevation, you will enjoy the clean Colorado air and be amazed by the dazzling star show every night! We would like to share our new (to us) home in the Spanish Peaks area. This is a custom-built log home with all the amenities.
We are in the high mountain valley south of Cuchara. Sunrise in the morning over the Spanish Peaks, sunset in the evening over San Isabel National Forest. Wildlife roam the mountains. You may see deer, elk, big horn sheep, black bear – all sorts of mountain wildlife.
Our home is four bedroom, three bath, on three levels. The loft level is the double bed with ensuite bathroom. There are also two nice blowup twin beds in the loft - great for kids. The main level is the open living room with fireplace and fully equipped kitchen and the master bedroom with queen-sized bed and ensuite bathroom. A deck on the mai level gives a beautiful view of the mountains, the tree, the birds....A small private deck off the master bedroom is perfect for morning coffee or an evening aperitif! The lower level is two bedrooms, sharing one bath, with a private deck. We replaced the carpeting with wood flooring and the warmth of the main room is special.
Cuchara boasts two restaurants, The Cuchara Yacht Club and The Dog Bar. La Veta, only about 8 miles north, has lovely shops and restaurants. Don’t miss Alys’s Restaurant – best around for miles! There is usually a bakery open. Legends on Main has great food with Mexican highlights. Stiano is the Italian restaurant in the hotel with a lovely courtyard and delicious food. La Veta Mercantile offers wine or beer while you browse their shop for artwork or just something to take home to remind you of the trip! H's shop across the street from Charlie's grocery is a treasure! And Charlie's has about everything one would need including a little deli and an ice cream counter!
Higher Grounds, at the turning off the highway, has some breakfast food and coffee. And the Cuchara Mercantile at the base of the mountain has food and general supplies.
Nearby is Lathrop State Park - just west of Walsenburg. Golf course, beautiful lake for jet skiing or kayaking or just hiking around!
A drive south on Highway 12 (Highway of Legends) on the way to Trinidad provides unbelievable scenery. The lake you will pass on the way is great for fishing! North of La Veta on Highway 160 is The Sand Dunes Monument . Taos is a couple of hours away.
We discovered this area several years ago and fell in love with it. We bought a condo in 2014 and then loved the area so much that we bought the Log House.
We aren’t totally retired, so we can’t be there full time yet. So, we would like to share it with special people who will enjoy it as much as we do.
La Veta is home to this vacation home. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Mountain Lake and Mexican Lake, while Francisco Fort Museum and Fort Garland Museum are cultural highlights. Be sure to check out the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.
