    "It’s beautiful and appears to be a great place to raise a family. I used to come here as a child back in the 70’s with my parents and it’s still as I remember it. Quaint and beautiful. "

  • Rick C.
    "There's no Wal-Mart or fast food joints. Life in the mountains has an easier pace. You are removed from the city, but that's why we live here, to get away from it all. There is a world class spa, fine dining on smaller scale, exquisite shops. Think Breckinridge, without the skiing.Beautiful mountains, hiking, mountain biking, floral life, live music, plays, wineries, what more do you want?"
