It begins in 2012, when Michael and Debra were celebrating their anniversary. That year it was Michael's turn to plan the shenanigans. He decided to surprise Debra by taking her to the friendly little town of Cloudcroft, New Mexico. The accommodations were made and it was time for their adventure to begin. Upon arriving in Cloudcroft, they soon realized the directions to the inn were indecipherable. Calling the booking agency customer service was a lost cause. Not such a great start. As they drove around trying to find the inn, frustration began to feel palpable. Just when they were about to give up, they stumbled upon the charming Rebecca's Lodge, today known as The Lodge. After sharing the unfortunate circumstances with the receptionist (who was very empathetic) they were finally able to relax and settle in. Cloudcroft turned out to be an incredible little town to explore. Even though the start of the trip began a little bumpy, the fresh air, the beautiful scenery, and the laid-back atmosphere in all the unique shops, made for the perfect anniversary getaway after all. Not only did they discover the beauty of Cloudcroft and its surroundings, they also realized they had found new depths of their love for one another. Though they didn’t know exactly what it would look like, it was in that moment of realization, it became clear they would be purchasing this little slice of heaven we endearingly call, Aspen Cove. Today, Michael and Debra would like to invite you to come and experience the same magic they found on that trip. Whether you're looking for adventure, romance or simply a peaceful family getaway, or all of the above, Aspen Cove is the perfect place to make memories you'll treasure forever.
