CURRENT MISSION To see the positive in everything ABOUT ME My Husband and I just moved to Leadville about a year ago. We just had our first child and we have a dog named Toby and love to be outdoors. We spent 7 months traveling abroad in 2016-2017 and were so overwhelmed with the kindness and generosity of complete strangers on our trip, we vowed that when we finally got back to the states and settled down we would do our best to pay it forward - so here we are... we want to show guests of all walks of life genuine hospitality and in return we'd like to share an experience and learn from you. PHILOSOPHY "We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there." - Charles F. Kettering
