Having a Vrbo has been very personal thing for my husband Jim and me. My husband was diagnosed with metastatic sarcoma in May of 2017. He is a physician and when he got the diagnosis, he walked into his partner’s office two days later and announced that he was going to quit everything to deal with his health.

With no money coming in, and facing the prospect of having to sell everything to keep up with all the new medical expenses, I began investigating Vrbo, while my husband concentrated on researching the right treatment. Our first exposure to Vrbo had been during a stay in Nashville for a Christmas holiday. Because of the unique characteristics that a Vrbo rental can offer over a hotel, we were able to have my daughter and new son-in-law over for a Christmas celebration – we even had Christmas decorations. Having a home in which to do this reunion made it that much more special and it left an indelible impression on us. When Jim got sick, we looked into how we could offer the same thing we experienced in Nashville, but with this very special Colorado property.

We opened our home to guests in July of 2017 and we haven’t looked back. It has allowed us to keep our cherished Homesteader House and to offer it to families and groups in order to share the goodness that God has allowed us to experience. Most of our guests have been extended families or groups of friends getting together from all over the country to reconnect and restore their souls in our beautiful Colorado mountains.

By the way, Jim’s treatment of his metastatic cancer has been nothing short of miraculous and his one year scans at MD Anderson Sarcoma Center show no evidence of cancer anywhere in his body. It is our vision to have our Homesteader House reflect the things that he did to achieve this miraculous healing (without chemotherapy by the way). We hope you enjoy your stay!
