This thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bath single-level home offers a harmonious blend of rustic craftsmanship and modern comfort, all set against the backdrop of the stunning San Juan Mountains. Step inside to an open-concept living area where warm natural textures meet simple elegance. A country-style kitchen invites you to gather, cook, and create memories, while the cozy living space opens to a covered front porch—perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. Out back, an open patio offers a peaceful spot for dining alfresco or just soaking in the stillness of the surrounding landscape. Crafted with straw bale construction, this eco-conscious home is ideally suited for Colorado’s arid climate, staying naturally warm in winter and cool in summer—no air conditioning needed. A dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer adds convenience to your stay. Just a short drive away, Vallecito and Lemon Lakes offer endless opportunities for boating, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and more. Whether you're chasing mountain sunrises or off-road thrills, there's something here for every kind of adventurer. BED CONFIGURATION: \* Main Bedroom - King Bed (Main Floor) \* 2nd Bedroom - King Bed (Main Floor) NOTES: This is a mountain home on a well. Most guests prefer to bring bottled water for drinking due to the high mineral content. There is no cell service located at this property, but there is a landline and WiFi calling works.
