My husband and I, and a couple of good friends decided to try a brand new restaurant in Breck named Modis. It was so good that I had to come home and write about it. If I had known that it would be that great in advance, I would have taken photos of the food, as the presentation was […]
The GatherHouse is a glassblowing studio in Frisco, Colorado. Run by John Hudnut and his wife Kate, they have demonstrations and classes on a regular basis. You can watch as John makes vases, tumblers, lighting or bowls, every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 7pm or by appointment. The GatherHouse is a popular place, especially […]
Where once we had little cabins, today we have huge condo buildings. Yes, they are designed nicely, and have a mountain feel, but the town is losing a little of its charm and quaintness because of Frisco development. Frisco Development at First and Granite One example is the half acre site at First and Granite, […]
Summerwood is a unique little subdivision at the edge of Lake Dillon. The very top of Summerwood is on a ridge that overlooks Lake Dillon, and the views are spectacular. Of course, there are not a lot of homes on the Ridge. The majority of the homes in the subdivision also have spectacular views, and they look […]
Last week I was talking with a friend of mine about a parcel of land called the Giberson Preserve. It is one of Frisco’s last truly beautiful parcels of privately held land still in its original state.

A murphy bed, otherwise known as a wall bed, pulls down from the wall on a spring mechanism when it is being used and during the day is pushed back up flat against the wall. It comes in a variety of cabinet styles, so it just looks like a large armoire or closet when it […]
Interest rates this week improved slightly when the stock market took a dip. Below I have quoted our friends Jeff and Renee Kneller at Mountain Equity Mortgage. Last week’s volatility in the stock market stabbed at the hearts of both the Stock and Bond markets, with home loan rates swinging higher and lower throughout the course […]
We went looking for powder today, and as it was very windy, found more than a few stashes in the trees. Seventeen Glades had lots of deep powder and Spaulding Glade was very nice. Watch for tree stumps and logs though! Cache Glades (at the bottom of Hallelujah bowl) is known for powder but it […]
Today I had an offer on a property that was $75,000 less than the asking price, which was just over $500,000. The Seller was insulted and wanted to know what the Buyer was thinking! I know what he was thinking; that is is a Buyer’s market, which is what all the media outlets are telling […]
