You'll have lots of space to yourself, with your own study, bath, and bedroom with a queen-sized bed. For warmer days, you'll love sipping a glass of wine or a cold beer on the screened porch overlooking a large, fenced backyard (perfect for well-behaved dogs). The coffee is ready when you get up in the morning and the cookie jar is usually full. I love to bake and cook. I am a retired psychotherapist and a mom at heart. I enjoy hosting healthcare students doing clinical rotations in the area and love welcoming visitors to share my home! I love people and hearing their stories. My home has always been a place where people meet after their adventures to talk and laugh and get encouragement. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood 2 blocks from city park and the community recreation center. Off-street parking is available. A short drive or a thirty minute stroll down a tree-lined avenue takes you to the downtown area with great restaurants and brewery, as well as the Sunflower Theater, a local venue supporting the arts. For healthcare professionals seeking a home environment while doing a clinical rotation or contract in the area, Southwest Memorial Hospital is a short walk from home. A short drive to the south and west takes you thru wine country and to Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. To the east is Phil's World. MTB Project and International Mountain Biking Association rated Phil's World #2 in Colorado and #10 best rides of all time. Just beyond Phil's World is the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park. Fifteen miles north you'll find literally hundreds of miles of hiking trails and trout fishing in the San Juan National Forest. Telluride and Purgatory ski areas are a little over seventy miles from Cortez and Moab, UT is 90 miles away, making Cortez the ideal hub for those who enjoy skiing, boarding, hiking, and biking. The climate is moderate year-round and the night sky is filled with stars. I take my role in stemming covid spread very seriously. You must be fully vaccinated to stay with me.
