My house in the Colorado foot hills will be coming up for rent so I put this post together to share the house with any interested prospects.
The images are a composite of photos taken by myself and past tenants. I posted it this way so as to give you a feel for the potential to personalize the house to your particular taste. (note: click on any image to view all of the photos in a larger format)
The house has just over 1400 sq. ft. of interior living and about 500 sq.ft of outside deck.
It has a natural gas forced air furnace.
It is on a septic system
It is on city water
The county plows early after each snow in the winter.
The house has 2 spacious bedrooms

There is a sliding glass door from the dining area on to the south deck which makes for great access and convenient entertaining.
The large natural fireplace is open from the kitchen into the family room and creates a warm ambiance on winter days and evenings .

the family room has clear vertical grain ceder paneling   |
There is a large capacity washer and gas dryer in the spacious storage / work/ utility room
The house is on a col du sac and has off street parking.
The property is in the community of Idledale and it has a wonderful feeling of remoteness but the fact is that the house is only 35min.to down town Denver, 40 min. to ski, 7 min. to Morrison, 7 min. to Evergreen, 15 min. to Golden , and 35min. to Boulder.
You can mountain bike / hike beautiful dirt roads and single track trails right from the deck of the house.

| Grapevine Road is a great bike ride and also takes you to I.70 with out any traffic |
Here's how to get to the house.
From town of Morrison go west up Bear Creek Canyon past Red Rocks Park to
the town of Idledale
Once in Idledale go past the church and the post office.
Take a right on Grapevine Rd. just past the Post Office
Take the first left that you come to. That’s Riverview Dr.
Follow Riverview Dr. to the end.
It makes a cul du sak
The house is the last house on the left.

Ode to Olaf's Idledale Rental Home
May 2016
As we pack moving boxes, we can't help but ponder our 4-year residence in Idledale.
Memories (at times, bittersweet) fill our minds on this rainy spring day. We have always cherished our warm cozy rustic rental...a safe,secluded place to come home to.
When we decided to move here from hot and humid North Carolina, we set out on a search for a rental home that would reflect the Rocky Mountain experience and Olaf's house delivers. We rented sight-unseen, but when we arrived we were stunned by the breathtaking view! The house has a great layout with a spacious kitchen, including sliding glass doors to enjoy the view while cooking or entertaining. The deck is fantastic for relaxing and cooling off - rain or shine - in summer, or watching the landscape become a winter wonderland. Chances are, you will see deer, foxes, woodland creatures and even elk in the area. One of our favorite features of the home is the see thru' fireplace, essential for cold Colorado evenings. After the snow melted, we could easily cure our cabin fever. It's not very far at all from shopping, restaurants, hiking trails, parks and Red Rocks Amphitheater.
Olaf has been an excellent landlord and we are blessed to call him our friend. He is always easy to contact when needed, and accommodating when there is an issue.
As we now move on to the next chapter in the lives of our family, we will consider our Idledale experience as the intro to our love for Colorado.
