We are a retired couple who loves travel and adventure. We fell in love with Europe when we traveled extensively while living on the island of Crete for five years. Melanie is a musician and author with a love of gardening and Richard is a retired engineer with a passion for environmental sustainability and city planning. We have no pets but enjoy spending time with our three grandchildren when we're not hiking or biking around Colorado. We are looking for longer home exchanges (1-3 months) so that we can enjoy connecting with the community and learn about the culture abroad.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Our sunny mountain home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac with expansive mountain views, backing up to 1000 acres of open space forests and hiking trails to explore. Watch for local wildlife visitors in the form of elk, deer, fox and a variety of birds. In the morning enjoy your coffee or tea from the cozy sofa or the open deck that gives you expansive views of the forested mountains, and watch the native birds flock to the nearby feeder. In the summer, an abundance of flowers and shrubs decorate the perennial gardens that surround the house. Start your evening on the secluded, shaded back patio amidst flower gardens, crank up the BBQ grill, turn on the string lights above you, and relax under the Colorado sunset. Before bed, retire to the fabulous front deck for some star gazing in the clear high- altitude night skies!
Our 2600 sq.ft. cozy home (270 sq.meters) has an open floor plan with loads of sunshine and comfortable living. The upstairs has hardwood floors throughout with a large living/dining/kitchen area, extra full bath and master bedroom with queen size bed and ensuite full bath. The fully carpeted downstairs area has plenty of light that brightens up the family room equipped with large flatscreen TV, big sectional sofa/bed, antique round table for games, full bath, guest bedroom with queen size bed, and laundry room. Both levels have gas fireplaces for instant warmth and ambience on chilly days and nights. We are non-smokers and ask that you don't smoke in our home or anywhere on the premises. Also, we are a shoeless house and request that you use the slippers provided to keep our home clean and you cozy!

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Our beautiful mountain home is located 29 miles (47 Km) in the foothills west of Denver. The setting is quiet and serene, with expansive views and ample opportunities for all-season outdoor adventures. We back up to State Wildlife Area where you'll find hiking trails. We are five miles (8 Km) from the quaint mountain village of Evergreen that supports many restaurants, shops and art galleries, as well as a beautiful lake open year round. The summer is busy with fishing, canoeing, paddle boarding, picnicking and golfing. In the winter the lake buzzes with ice-fishing, skating, cross-country skiing and sledding.
