About the host
Hosted by Connie Slade
My husband grew up in the area and graduated from Durango High School. We both attended Fort Lewis College in Durango. We are using the property as a VRBO to accommodate a move to Utah to attend graduate school. The above picture is a few of our kids in a kiva at Spruce Tree House in Mesa Verde National Park.
Why they chose this property
We custom built our home here in 2005 to accommodate our 12 kids and be near family.
What makes this property unique
We have loved having a quiet, spacious yard with room to garden, ride the four-wheeler and go-kart, play on the swings, and have bonfires while enjoying the stars every summer. Sunrises and sunsets have been some of our favorite times to enjoy as a family.
