Perfect launch point for adventure during the day and the coziest place to come back to at night the balance is exactly right.

Lincoln NB

The highest town in America (we felt it), and most soulful cabin we've ever stayed in. We left with a painting from a local CO artist, listened to vinyl records during our morning yoga sessions, and filled hearts and lungs with the high country mountain vibes.
