Another Spectacular Stay
We keep returning to this beautiful home situated in the most incredible spot. The views are second to none, and the house is an architectural masterpiece that is absolutely immaculate. Nancy, the host, is a generous, kind person, and has stocked every drawer, closet, and cabinet with everything anyone would use to cook well and be comfortable. Thank you for sharing your amazing home!

Can't say enough good things about Enchanted Retreat
Breath-taking! The home, the furnishings, the acreage, the owners, all combined created such a magical place. Everywhere we turned we were amazed at how well the home was constructed, maintained and designed, inside and out. The meadows were especially fun to navigate. We just don't have the perfect words to describe our PERFECT vacation. Mancos artists are fabulous too. Thank you so much for our stay in the Enchanted Retreat. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy and Tom Boone

Host profile image
I'm from California, my husband is from Minnesota, we both lived in Arizona for many years before moving to Colorado. We love the mountains, meadows, forest and lakes that surround our home and love to share this peaceful land with other nature loving people. We look forward to meeting you and having you as our guests.

Why they chose this property

After living in this area of Colorado for many years, in 1999 we purchased this 95 acres at Summit Lake to build our home. We love this property because it's close to town, yet has the privacy and the peacefulness of the country. My husband, a home builder for 38 yrs, completed our home in 2002. Wildlife viewing is another favorite past time, as this land has deer, elk, fox, coyote, racoon, blue heron, eagles, hawks and Canadian geese, just to name a few.
Our Enchanted Retreat was completed by my husband in July 2013. Come enjoy the beauty of this land, walk our private trails, sit in nature and renew your spirit.

What makes this property unique

This is the perfect spot for your vacation or personal retreat. Enchanted Retreat is a first class accommodation, surrounded by 360 degrees of breath taking views of mountains, lakes, and wild life. A great way to experience the beauty and mystic of the southwest.

Fall asleep to the hum of natures finest under a starlit night, impeded by no city noises or unnatural lights. Wake to the sounds of the land coming alive! And so close to so many attractions and destinations. Fresh air, new perspective! What more could you ask for!
