We Found Our PERFECT Luxury Cabin in Colorado! - Full Tour 😍

[@iamkmann]

Pro Colorado Tip: Where ever you find your dream cabin, try to choose an unincorporated county like Park County (Bailey, Fairplay, Town of Jefferson). The sales taxes in Park County are far far less than counties like Boulder, Denver or Jeffco (Golden, Morrison, Conifer, etc.). This will save you a TON of money! We grew up in the Denver metro area before moving to Bailey and the move saved us thousands per year on things like property tax, car registration and even the purchase of our house. Good luck and I'm really excited for you guys!

[@HomeWorkouts_LS]

Don't you pay the sales tax if you visit & buy stuff in those areas though? And property taxes are very low in Denver metro compared to TX (where they're from). But yeah the car registration everything is surprisingly high.

[@WarChortle]

A tip for opening champagne is to put a towel over the cork. You firmly hold the cork and rotate and "unscrew" the bottle. This way the cork is trapped underneath the towel and you have much more control of opening the champagne. Cheers!

[@sarah-phillips]

Yep! You beat me to it! I'm the one who opens all sparkly wine and it's fun once you get the hang of it.

[@cspvideo]

That's what we do too.

Alison's jumpsuit looks INCREDIBLE!! What a vibe

[@ashleygraf9324]

I was about to say the same! Love it!! Alison, where did you get your jumpsuit?

[@codydody]

It's really Allison that made that jumpsuit look good.

[@miscellaneousHandle]

Remote Colorado is someplace I really enjoy visiting. But I choose to live outside Boulder. For the little things, like grocery stores, cell service, internet, bookstores. Hospitals, urgent care centers, you know - the little things. :) Welcome to Colorado.

[@MillaExplores]

Allison getting in the hot tub was the funniest thing 😂 I live in Finland by the coast and love ice swimming, saunas, and hot tubs so the wind and a toasty hot tub would suit me really well 🫢

[@mariannewarren6031]

I've never stopped in Fairplay when it WASN'T windy!

[@critterkarma]

To open Champagne, don’t pop the cork, slowly twist the cork off. You can use a dish towel, to cover the cork. You’ll hear a satisfying poof, and the bottle will be a perfect pour. Please just make sure, wherever you buy, have a good water source, with a reliable well, or town water. Even though there’s snow, high altitude desert is common. 🤷‍♀️

[@patriciaburke6639]

I seem to recall a recommendation that you hold the cork and unscrew the bottle from it, to avoid unnecessary wastage. I’ve never tried it mind you, as I wouldn’t waste money buying a bottle, as I have always considered Champagne to be extremely overrated.

[@critterkarma]

@@patriciaburke6639 the same goes for any sparkling wine. 😊 yes twisting either, the bottle or the cork, will work. The trick is slow and steady.

[@donnacastle2490]

Good choice for a rental. For Colorado mountains February is usually the coldest. March and April usually the snowiest. Stay aware of altitude when looking at property. The higher you go, the more snow you get - like 8 months of snow for 9000ft and above. I think 7500ft with south-facing exposure is an ideal mix of all we have to offer. Enjoy the exploring. Just one pro tip for you - quality sunglasses. Please get some. Sun glare can be problematic. Love you guys.

[@GenXBecks]

Hi Allison. I work in wine and can confirm that you can open sparkling wine safely at home by twisting the bottle on a flat surface and gently cupping and lifting the cork with your hand over it. No fear!

[@grubbyssmokeshack]

Definitely check out southwest Colorado. Especially in the Fall. I could go there every year and never get tired of it.

[@sherryroy2916]

You are both more relaxed than you have been...You are in your element! Thank you for making great videos!

[@christysteerman1241]

I have lived in Colorado my whole life, and I love it❣️❣️❣️ I been all around the states and even out of the country, but Colorado is definitely home. I live on the western slope in Grand Junction. Surrounded by the Grand Mesa, the Book cliffs, and the Colorado Monument! Everything you ever dreamed of doing is within an hour away. I sure hope you two get over here before you settle down. I know you will live it. I love watching your amazing adventures and never miss a video❣️ You guys are my heros❤️❤️❤️ Good luck in your new adventure.🥳🥳🥳

[@1329scot]

Colorado native here with a recommendation! I highly recommend looking near Buena Vista and the surrounding areas. Easy access to both Colorado Springs, Denver, and ski towns, but is FAR more affordable and incredibly beautiful. It is a great spot that we go to often for weekend getaways! Has a cute old downtown with Eddyline Brewery, is close to several hot springs, and is situated right next to the Arkansas River and Collegiate Peaks. Being from Colorado Springs I am also partial to the Woodland Park area too!

[@cohenj87]

One thing to also consider when looking for places in Colorado is the wind can get REALLY BAD in spots for long periods of time throughout the year and it can make certain time really unpleasant.

[@snoodlebug1800]

this is so true!! like the great plains

[@AngelaBrinker]

Beautiful. I'm not a tidy enough person to have open shelving like that. Plus stuff could get dusty/dirty if it's not used frequently, and I don't want to have to wash it every time before I even use it. You do look like you are loving Colorado.

[@superdave1949]

Glad to hear you're giving SW Colorado a look. I love its proximity to the whole 4 Corners region and all the wonders there. It's generally cheaper than anywhere within a few hours of Denver, and it's still within a day of the rest of Colorado.

[@prestonsays]

I hope you guys make it down to Durango Colorado, such a fun little town that I could see you guys liking… Pagosa Springs and Telluride are musts too ❤🌵

[@Wheezywatches]

Always important when you’re looking remote- the community and people are just as important if not more! You’ll need your neighbors, money won’t fix every problem. So if you run through a community and feel unsure, or don’t like what you’re hearing in a diner pass on. Also consider the long term basics- is there a solid physician, dentist etc pharmacy. An hour or two sounds simple to drive into the city but it’ll get old real fast and may not be possible in an emergency situation.

[@crystalpleasant1108]

Make sure you go to Royal Gorge and drive across the bridge! Definitely visit Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, it’s definitely different to climb a mountain to visit the animals but it’s beautiful here in Colorado and I wish you all good luck with whatever you decide to do!

[@aidenalamo6262]

I hope you are able to settle routes with a cabin in Colorado. The state is beautiful and I can see both of you happy with your purchase.

[@theo.r.bitter]

Oh my god, I'm dying laughing here. From the apprehensive approach to opening a bottle of bubbly, to the hot tub attempt in zero degree gusty winter weather, you guys had me in stitches. This was one of the funniest vlogs or yours I've seen, so thank you massively for the joy of letting us spend some time with you in this fabulous cabin.

[@Theendlessadventure]

🤣🤣 It started to nice and peaceful...and then disaster! 🍾🌬

[@emily8538]

The Snitching Lady Distillery in Fairplay is awesome! Ask for Sam to make you an old fashioned. You won't be disappointed. We looked at property there and the locals all said they get very bad high winds. We thought our cabin was going to blow away that night. They weren't lying!

[@lisalane3650]

I lived in South Park for four years as a child and for another four years in the early 2000’s. You have to like winter 6 months of the year in order to live there. Check out the area around Fremont County northwest of Canon City. It is mountainous but cheaper land and more temperate climate. It’s also only an hour from Colorado Springs!

[@Parrotheader]

I LOVE visiting SW Colorado, but think you guys are definitely looking in the right region - especially with your travel needs. My personal dream spot is somewhere near Buena Vista. It's a slightly longer drive to the airport than the Jefferson/Fairplay area, but still less than half a day. Not quite as elevated/cold, but has a similar valley surrounded by mountains feel. And there's just more day-to-day niceties nearby. Plus far more warm weather activities with the Arkansas river and lots of nearby 14ers.

[@dividsky]

Hot tub in winter is the best, love it! You just have the water up to your neck, bubbles and wine and your all set ! 👍

[@caroldinius4402]

Im from Florida, used to live in Loveland Co. It's where my heart will always be. Nothing as beautiful as Colorado.

[@jules092265]

FYI helpful hint for your next bottle of champagne...hold a towel on the cork and twist the bottle instead. The cork will "pop" into your toweled hand. Good luck and God bless your journey.

[@thatwebbloke]

TV's above the fire look great but are a pain in the neck to watch. An option you may want to look at when you build your own place is mounting the TV on a lowering bracket, so you can pull it down to a comfortable position when actually watching it, or leave it high when it is on for background or workouts.

[@patriciamoore6492]

What a fun video! Best of luck finding your Colorado vacation home!

[@lynnemorris7516]

Hi from UK, a tip I was told to uncork Champagne is, don't twist the cork, but twist the bottle and its a lot easier to open. And by the way it works.

[@RockinRandall420]

That cabin and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful! 😊

[@Theendlessadventure]

Right?! We loved it out there 😍

[@trailingarm63]

Looks like something out of the Yellowstone series. Although the cabin is a bit over-the-top the setting is magnificent. I think I could be very happy there but I'm older than you two and pretty self-contained. How close is the nearest town with a few decent bars and some entertainment? How close is medical support if you decide to start a family? If the answers to such questions are reasonable then I'd say go for it. Maybe a fixer-upper would give you more scope for KZbin content? And some land to keep animals and grow salad & vegetables would also add interest. Chuck needs a block & fuel line heater and a plug-in. Good luck!

[@Bernadette-og5ky]

You two are the cutest happiest little couple ever ,enjoy your videos very much and travels through you..

[@LynnB_Ky]

We really look forward to your videos. This one was great. Alison you are so brave to go in the hot tub! Keep them coming, and please stay safe on those roads

Oh that sounds magical! 🍁🍂

[@ynys_mon6928]

With champagne, don’t try to pop the cork. Hold the sides of the cork firmly (so if it’s wants to shoot off it can) and twist the bottle, don’t twist the cork. Normally the cork just pops out gently.

[@sharonlundquist8433]

Love the cabin, hope you find your new home soon.

We moved from a large metropolitan area to a remote area 12 years ago. Sadly, a key thing we miss is good dining options. At first we put on a brave face and sampled all the local places (within 30mile radius) but after many years there's only a few that are good and delivery is a disaster. You-all like to go out to eat / sample places / order in and this could be a challenge if you choose an area so remote you can't get into the big city for dinner. Don't get me wrong, we Love where we live but we miss the wide choice of great places to eat :)

[@ExpatNatt]

Wow. Just wow. Brilliant video, great shots, great location, great people! Sending love! ❤️

[@terryratcliff6785]

If you are still in Fairplay drive yourself to Woodland Park. The views are beautiful and there are some pretty sweet small towns. My husband and I did this 5 years ago and fell in love. Within a month we had purchased a house in Woodland Park. It's a small town, but just 1/2 hour from Colorado Springs so we have access to nice stores and an airport! If you want more information about the area I have created a really nice website with links to all there is to do here. Let me know if you would like the link! They call this the "Banana Belt" because the weather is milder here than much of Colorado. In the summer it is literally paradise!

[@franktyred9195]

My first hot tub experience was in the winter in Kansas City at a friends house. We got into the hot tub, about midnight, with snow falling and melting just before it hit your face. I may have been under the influence of intoxicants but it was an amazing experience. That juxtaposition of hot and cold was lovely...the walk back into the house though, that was something else altogether.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh ya...the walk back is always a disaster 🥶 But a toasty tub and falling snow?? It doesn't get much better 🙌

[@Taunya]

the colder it is, the more dry blowing snow. "warmer temps" will give you the wet packable snow.

[@jml4774]

Alison, drape a small kitchen towel over the cork, then slowly turn the cork (your hand is on the outside of the towel) while slowly pushing it up and out of the bottle. Slow, steady, towel over the cork.

[@Banagal]

Nice place for sure. Colorado is beautiful and I've enjoyed it many times. One thing is they have lots of rattlesnakes. My dog was bitten and we spent time at the vet. The dog turned out OK, but...I HATE being around rattlesnakes.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh jeez! We didn't realize there were rattlesnakes out here 😳 I guess we've only ever been out this way in the colder months so we've never had to worry about them. Good thing to keep in mind though 🐍

One hand around cork to hold it steady. With the other hand rotate the bottle. The goal is to "burp" the bottle, not blast the cork as far as possible.

[@CashMopar]

We love Chuck in the snow!

[@Tny.1]

I usually put a towel over top of the cork and bottle so it catches the cork when it pops out. Will also help absorb any of the champagne that may spill out. I, like you, am also scared when it comes flying out of the bottle haha

Champagne tip, put dishtowel over it, hold towel to bottle neck with one hand, twist with other... contained cork and no spillage

I'm in Trinidad, Co. I bought cheap, seven years ago, betting this small old mining town would reinvent itself. Anyway, if you can think outside of the box and buy smart, but cheap - with all the growth and sprawl, let things come to you and your property prices should go up. Plus, your your young - time is on your side. Hopefully! Good Luck!

Hi Eric and Allison Congratulations 1st and for most for the property way to go hope you have lots of things planned I would put a plow truck on your priority list of things to buy and a chain saw too so you can split and cut your wood and mill that you can cord up the wood too

[@dragonmac1234]

I could live in that cabin, although I would be thinking people are looking in (especially if I was in the bathroom). I agree with Allison, walking on a frozen lake is scary. I did that once when I was younger, until I heard the ice cracking (luckily I was close to the edge).

[@sarahr6285]

For folks who love to travel as much as you, you might want to choose a location nearer to an airport.

I went camping at Twin Lakes (just south of Leadville, right in the shadow of Mt. Elbert) a few years ago and it's indescribably beautiful.

[@yogsfrancis2805]

I’m warning you all, please don’t buy in an isolated area, when dealing with winter conditions. I work for a department that deals with storm related issues. Rural folks have the biggest problems, you can become cut off from the rest of the population when there is a bad storm. Not trying to scare you but I am coming from first hand experience with dealing with those issues and the public. Best of luck on you search!

[@AGMundy]

Fun and the best way to open Champagne is to keep hold of the cork as you pull it out. As for the cabin - a delight save for that ridiculous TV half way up the wall - placed so as to be watched from the kitchen whilst cooking, rather than relaxing on the couch. One thing I wonder is whether Eric and Alison ever read ?

[@janellmichael2346]

I'm a native to Colorado Springs, so if you come down this way let me know. Maybe we could go to dinner. Also, if you're still looking for a house or cabin, check the areas around Woodland Park. Very rural and beautiful. Janell

[@melisbaz]

A friend taught me how to open a bottle of bubbly years ago that took all the stress out of it. Throw a dish towel over the cork, grip it from on top of the dish towel and work it out by slowly twisting. The cork will pop out and if it wants to fly, it can't go far because the dish towel will catch it. Did that make any sense?

[@matsulli2086]

Definitely an Airbnb, not a house. Could you imagine what it would cost to heat them into individual rooms with that system? Appears to be a pole barn built house. Very inexpensive, but perfect as an Airbnb. I've spent a lot of time up in South Park. Middle of the Rockies. Tough place for city folk, haha.
