Hello, we are the Caretakers for a mountain community in the beautiful Rocky Mountains west of Denver, Colorado. We live on site and perform maintenance and regular security for the facilities as well as assisting members with their individual cabins. My wife, Iris, and I dearly love this beautiful spot and hope to share its pristine beauty for many years to come. The purpose of this blog spot is to share with you a little of the Rocky Mountain experience that we get to enjoy everyday. Please come back often; I love photography and plan to add photos regularly.The community that was established over 100 years ago. It consists of over 300 acres of beautiful forested country in the Rocky Mountains near Denver, Colorado. There are twenty plus unique cabins that have been minimally updated over the years to maintain the rustic historical feel. Most cabins have been passed down through the family generations and each new owner must be approved by the membership. The cabins are greatly enjoyed by family and friends during the beautiful Colorado summers and many brave the snow and colder temperatures to spend as much time at their cabin as they possibly can during the winter months. The small pond on the property is the sight of many leisurely hours of canoeing and fishing during the summer and rousing games of hockey in the winter when industrious members plow the snow off the ice.
The oldest cabin was built in 1900 ( I'm told that construction was started in 1898 ) It is still one of the most often used cabins and is still owned by a member of the original family. The rest of the cabins were added over the years up into the mid 1950's.I will be adding photos regularly with stories and information as they happen.

The cabins there are definitely antique, but seem pretty tough! Woods warp and crack during the winter season due when moist soaks into the wood. That is why the exterior of the cabin should always be cleaned and protected to prevent damages. And I can say that the owners and caretakers of these cabins are doing their job excellently. No wonder your place is always visited by people. =)
