Beautiful home and property with very accessible location. About 15 minute drive to trail hike near the Mesa, which is great in the summer because it may be 90 in Palisade but you can hike in 50 weather at the Grand Mesa elevation. About a 25 minute drive into Palisade for Vineyard hopping. The large backyard is fully fenced if you are bringing dogs. We enjoyed drinking coffee there in the mornings and watching them play. There are lots of trees around the property if you want to bring camping chairs, and find shade, but we also brought our canopy and popped it up over the back porch for sunnier times of the day. In the evenings, don’t miss the sunsets… It’s spectacular! You might even see the neighborhood bear. He’s cute. A few notes if you are traveling with dogs. There is a lot of foxtail grass/seeds throughout the property. Be sure to check in between their toes and ears at the end of the day. Our dogs do not have the type of fur that mats, but if you have those types of furry friends, you might want to shave them before you come, or the foxtail seeds will stick to them. Also, while there is a small stream/creek running through the property, we did not use it because the grass is pretty high all around it and you have to walk downhill a ways to access it. There is a small wooden bridge you can stand on over the water which is pret. We had thought we might let our dogs swim but it just wasn’t set up for that. But they had plenty of fun swimming at all the Mesa lakes!
