It looks like they might need a Sherpa. Where are the roads anyway?! Now, I’m not picking on PCH, I have no problem with the clearing house folks, except for the fact that they haven’t shown up at my door with roses and that big fat check YET- but I worry….
WHEN THEY COME are they really going to use THAT map? ~ I’ve mentioned this before in my blog; some folks have great success navigating the roads around the Red Feather Lakes … (25 comments)
colorado mountain cabins: Cabin in Red Feather Lakes CO, comes with moose
- 10/10/13 03:41 AM
Yesterday I was showing cabins in Crystal Lakes – Crystal Lakes is a mountain subdivision in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. It was a chilly day in Red Feather and as the day went on it was getting cooler. A drizzling rain that would certainly turn into a light snow after sundown began to fall as we neared the last cabin on the tour.
Actually, appointments were made to see more cabins, but we simply ran out of time because each stop before had rock outcroppings and meadows to explore and jaw dropping views that demanded silent deep breathes and extra … (22 comments)
A few weeks ago, I had an opportunity to show a few Red Feather cabins to a couple from Colorado Springs.
They were just up for the weekend and in between fishing and cooking on the campfire, they had been driving around looking for the piece of land that used to belong to Grandma & Grandpa.
With just a quick search through the county records, I was able to find the property for them. The woman was so excited to see that land one more time- she had … (8 comments)

A Note to Would- be Sellers: You’ve decided to put your Glacier View Meadows, Crystal Lakes, Livermore or Red Feather Lakes home on the market in the Spring? Why wait?! I would recommend getting it listed now. Our office has been swamped with phone calls from buyers and with showing requests, lately. The level of activity is surprising because it’s a little abnormal for January, but really, with the state of the market in recent years- who can really say what’s … (11 comments)

colorado mountain cabins: Looking for Mountain Property can be like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle
- 06/02/12 12:32 AM
Looking for property near Red Feather Lakes Colorado, for some buyers is like a gigantic 20,000 acre jigsaw puzzle…. Sometimes buyers don’t know exactly what they are looking for…or they start out in one direction and then switch gears and go completely the opposite way; like looking at cabins and then switching to vacant land. When we begin adding up the costs of building on that vacant land…sometimes they switch back to cabins- and that’s OK. It’s all a part of the process and my job to help them as much as I can. The other day, I took buyers through … (5 comments)
Browsing through the Livermore and Red Feather Lakes, CO listings today, I noticed we have a home on the market with a “retractable yawning” (I didn’t know houses got sleepy)
~
and another home has “large widows to enjoy the view “. Seriously, how large are these widows, do they come with the place? Will there be enough room for everyone? Do they cook or clean, too? How do you feel about sharing a cabin with these large widows?
There are many days, for one reason … (28 comments)
There is something quite peaceful about being snowed in, but after one day of it, it’s great to get out of the house and drive. So far, my travels have only been up and down the Red Feather Lakes Rd. to the office. It’s a nice drive and I think the land covered in snow and our beautiful cerulean blue skies are so pretty. … (22 comments)
Yes, the winter was long...sometimes cold and windy but you can't beat the summer, all the way through Indian Summer in Red Feather Lakes!

colorado mountain cabins: Mighty House: The latest kid craze in Red Feather Lakes
- 09/21/10 11:02 AM
My grandson does not miss anything and doesn't forget anything either. He wrote down the 800-number so that I could order his special Star Wars Set of Mighty Beanz. He quizzed me afterward to be sure that I had in fact ordered them and he knew exactly which ones should be arriving. He's been keeping track of the weeks as they tick away...4 to 6 weeks is a long wait! Now, you can buy these things in the stores, but this is a special set "Available only by this special TV offer" - no fudging. He knows. When I called the 800 … (33 comments)
colorado mountain cabins: Life in the Slow Lane in Red Feather Lakes CO
- 08/25/10 02:10 AM
Growing up in a city, I was taught never talk to strangers, so Passing people on the streets in Downtown was a silent occurrence, (except for the Hare Krishnas and panhandlers that didn't mind talking to strangers at all in the 60s) There was seldom any communication or eye contact with other drivers on the streets or highways, either... Jenny Kotulak's recent post reminded me of a common occurrence in our little Red Feather Lakes area that was new to me when we first moved here. It doesn't happen as much on the County Rd. because there are days where there is … (24 comments)
colorado mountain cabins: The Beauty of a Second Home - Recreation or Retirement
- 08/13/10 08:00 AM
The Beauty of a Second Home for Recreation or Retirement is measured greatly by the happiness it brings. I was listening to a program on Real Estate Today about Second Homes last week. The tag line for the program and what grabbed my attention was something like: "If owning one home is great, owning two homes is better" Maybe that sounds crazy in the current economy, when so many people have lost their only home. Still, a lot of Americans have jobs, savings and dreams about owning a vacation home. Of course, I agree with the theory that "2 homes are better than … (28 comments)

colorado mountain cabins: Local Glacier View Meadows Agent is just a stone's throw away
- 04/25/10 06:10 AM
The vacant house "next door" is for sale, a beautiful 4 bedroom cedar sided 3888 sq. foot home. I still think of it as my old neighbor's home, but I don't know the current owners, who are flipping it, at all. Yesterday evening, when I was driving by I noticed a truck parked in back of the house on our road. There was a gentleman sitting in the passenger seat of the truck and we waved as I drove by. I parked my car at home, but the little Realtor voice inside my head said, "You should go back up there … (37 comments)
