Cabin Fever


Patty (and the fabulous smell of tacos) met us at the door. The windows were open with the mountain breezes blowing in, soft music was playing and we were in awe —the full sweep of the Sangre de Cristos was in view from the back wall of windows and the deck.

The cabin was a perfect getaway—modern accommodations, full of windows, completely stocked with food and toiletries, running water and electricity (always a plus). I’m generally not a fan of the “lodge” look, but it worked perfectly in the Malottes’ cabin. Patty had done a fabulous job of giving the cabin a rustic look without making it feel heavy and dark.

Even better, she had brought oodles of kid games for the boys! They started on checkers while we finished the meal. Before long, we had pulled our chairs up around the table, mountains surrounding us, and were eating tacos that tasted ten times at altitude than at our house.
