As we travel extensively and have a mountain vacation home, we are happy to share our space. Thus, you will find many amenities not typical for a rental only home. Some limited closet areas and drawers will be inaccessible to guests, however, there is plenty of additional room for guest belongings in this spacious home of over 4000 ft.².
