RELAXING AFTER A DAY OF FUN: To ensure that our guests have plenty of hot water after a day of adventure, we have installed two large tank-less water heaters. Long showers after a day of mountain play are no problem! This old home is perfect for large family reunions or a great group of friends who want to enjoy the countless adventures the mountains provide yet want the convenience of being near town activities. No need to subject your vehicle to the dusty washboard roads you find with many other homes in the area. The grocery store, restaurants, coffee houses and the local craft brewery are only a couple of blocks away. This large home provides space for everyone to gather, yet private areas to retreat, accommodating both outlaws and in-laws! It is walking/biking distance to everything in the city, yet an easy drive to all the adventures you could imagine. Located on a cul-de-sac street makes it a quiet, low traffic place to relax in the convenience of the city. All access roads are paved so leave the dusty dirt road traveling to your excursions! Enjoy all the summer fun the Arkansas River has to offer. And winter pleasure abounds - with multiple ski slopes less than 1 hour away. With 2 'living areas' you have lots of space to gather. Sit quietly in the living room and read a book, while others are in the family room watching a movie. Or enjoy the views from the sun room while having that early morning coffee, or glass of wine at 'happy hour'. Send the kids upstairs to the game room while you prepare meals to enjoy in the dining room. The Outpost is an excellent choice for all those visitors to the area who enjoy the mountain activities, but still want to be close to town. We hope to see you there!
