About This Home

Welcome to YOLO, where mountain living meets unmatched privacy and natural beauty.

As you travel the picturesque 1/4-mile winding driveway, the world begins to disappear behind you. At the end awaits a peaceful mountain retreat where elk often wander through the meadow, hummingbirds fill the air with song, and the gentle sounds of the Rio Penasco River, which flows through the property, create the perfect backdrop for everyday life. The cabin offers 3 bedrooms, a full, 3/4 and 1/2 bathroom creating a warm and inviting space for family, friends or peaceful weekend away. A cozy wood burning stove provides comfort on cool mountain evenings. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines with 2300sq ft of deck space, you'll have endless room to relax, entertain, or simply take in the breathtaking views.
