Mountain Factor

Mountain Factor: Colorado

There's no chance of missing the views at this Glenwood Springs home. The Rockies are framed in almost every window; can be enjoyed from three different decks and patios; and provide a dramatic backdrop to the outdoor hot tub. They’re a constant reminder of the nearby adventures you can choose from. Hot springs, caverns and river rafting are all within a short drive, while skiing at Vail and Aspen is less than hour away. But it's not just about the location. There are four reception rooms in this super-sociable home, a large and well-equipped kitchen, big, comfy bedrooms and enough bathrooms to limit morning queues for the shower. Modern and stylish, a great deal of thought has gone into making it the perfect home from home in the mountains – from family games to play in the evenings, to fluffy robes for the hot tub.

Home truths:
*The bunk beds are a double with a single over
