Whether you're sipping coffee by the river, soaking in the hot tub after skiing, or enjoying sunset drinks around the fire pit, every part of this property was built for connection and relaxation. Plenty of parking on site (free) with a dedicated space to park a trailer and/or RV as well. Lots of wood stocked for those summer nights around the fire listening to the soothing sounds of the Florida River.

This home provides the perfect backdrop to your Colorado getaway/adventure. Whether you like to fish, hike, ski, kayak, shop the historic downtown district, or just unplug from the world and recharge you can do all of that and more! It truly is a magical experience! The large fenced yard is also PERFECT for pets (you're pets deserve a wonderful vacation too!). Maximum of 3 pets, under 45 lbs each, with payment of the applicable pet fee. You must disclose you have a pet when booking, pay the pet fees, and follow all the pet policies if bringing a pet.



We all know how important connectivity is these days, so we have equipped this home with high speed Starlink internet, clocking in at around 300 mbps or more! Stream your favorite movies, TV shows, and more on the 4 different smart TV's! Need to get some work done real quick? No problem! We have a two chair desk set up in the sun room (natural light is great for cognitive thinking) to enhance your productivity. We have also have a mesh network installed to boost wifi connectivity even at the ends of the home.



This home is set along the banks of the Florida River, with mature aspen trees in the front, and a large grassy yard in the back. The Community Pond is also a huge perk for your stay! Enjoy fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding. The shallow sandy beach is great for kids (check the listing photos to see the pond and the beach, also has a fishing dock), or simply relaxing in the sunshine. We provide a paddle board, and a two person Kayak, but feel free to bring your own as well! **Please note that you must have your pond pass on you (provided at check-in) when enjoying the pond. You also have direct access to the Florida river (cold plunge anyone?) for swimming and fishing (swimming and river use is strictly at your own risk. We do not provide life jackets). Backing to open space, the setting is extremely private (although there are some neighboring houses). Fully renovated in 2024, this home combines the best of a large mountain cabin with modern luxury: room for the whole family, and your pets! Owner managed home by a local born and raised Colorado native, managing vacation homes for over 6 years. We would love to host you!
