We had a wonderful, 3 generation family vacation in July, 2009, at Needle Mountain Chalet. Every day was full of adventures for the younger folks, while our mother enjoyed relaxing on the front porch and experiencing the beauty and serenity of the surrounding mountains, lakes and wildlife. This home has the feel of a luxurious resort with gorgeous views from every window. All the comforts of home, and a wonderful kitchen & dining room perfect for family dinners. Beautiful hummingbirds feeding right in front of the windows. Mother and fawn muledeer nibbling in the yard. Many things are not to be missed while you're there. Ride the old Durango-Silverton Railroad train that follows the breath-taking Animas River up thru the mountains. Visit Ouray, a quaint little town called "Little Switzerland", set high in the San Juan Mountains. Explore Mesa Verde 's thousand year old cliff dwellings. Hike the trail behind the house to the top of the Hermosa Cliffs. Enjoy a "campfire" in the backyard fire pit and make s'mores. It was great - wish we'd had more time. Can only imagine how beautiful this place is in the fall and winter. Will definitely return! the Marcy family |
