It's Magical

My name is Ben and my wife is Anita. We have two children, Greg and Evan. We are the very proud owners of a treasure that is nestled in the Arapaho National Forest of Breckenridge. The locals call our home Forest Haus. It is easy to tell why and is one of the main reasons we fell in love with the home. For Anita and I, it was very important that we find a comfortable environment to escape to. Both of us had lived in many different states, none of which had a mountain environment. Our idea of getting away to have quality time with family and friends was to find a home that was close enough to mountain activities, yet just far enough away to have the level of privacy necessary to decompress from city life and focus on growing our relationships. For us, Forest Haus is an ideal escape. Our home is in harmony with its environment. It is on the mountain, with wildlife and tall trees all around you. In the summer you have the wildflowers. In the winter, a beautiful blanket of fluffy white snow accents the landscape against the crisp crystal blue sky. Every night shares the brilliance of the stars and Milky Way that can only be seen from our vantage point (no city or town lights to interfere). And when you stand outside to listen, about the only thing you will hear is the sound of the wind whispering through the 100-foot pines that shroud our property. When you couple this with summertime out-door dining on our large deck or winter time Après Ski in the hot tub along with a warm cozy home environment, you have the foundations in place for creating magical moments.

Stellar Jays and various flavors of Rocky Mountain Chickadees and other bark clinking birds frequent our feeders. Use our Bird Species book and see how many you can identify. (MORE)
