Are We Buying a Tiny Cabin to Renovate?! - House Hunting in Colorado!

As a Canadian who lives in winter almost 5 months of the year, I would tell you to think really good before moving there. Winter is magical when you’re in it a few days a year but when you live in it for the whole season… it’s another story. You guys leave for long periods of time for your wonderful travels, we’ll your house can’t be left alone in winter! Frozen pipes, roof, deck, driveway to shovel…. And winter is expensive! Heating, winter tires, winter clothes… it’s a whole other ball game folks. And the cold gets to you after a while. We actually run away from it every chance we get to go on vacation in the sun 🥶 Food for thought so you can make a clear decision! Love your channel! Keep up the great work! Good luck with your house hunting! 😊

If you guys end up spending a lot of time in the area my wife and I would love to take you out to dinner as a way to say thanks for all of the enjoyment we have gotten from watching your travel videos. You guys and the Adventures of A+K are my two favorite travel channels and we wish you the absolute best for your future!

There's nothing better than looking at land and houses because you want to, not because you have to. It becomes about the journey itself and learning your likes and dislikes. Happy Hunting! ❤️

6:47 "A little blueberry home with red accents was not necessarily what we had in mind." Damn, we have very different ideas about what we want in a cabin! Finally some exterior paint that isn't boring! Just my opinion lol

Colorado native here. I’ve lived in the mountains for years. Location is key! Keep in mind your driveway, sun exposure, commute, neighbors, grocery store, etc. so often people want to live in the mountains and don’t realize the time and work it takes to live there.Evergreen (lived there for years) doesn’t count as true mountain living. VERY expensive

I selfishly want you to travel internationally again. I miss your food tours. However, I hope you find what you’re looking for and enjoy the journey. Much love to you both.

So, so far your looking at places without garages? I would think you'de want a garage for rv, projects , etc..

I really miss clementine I miss the 50 state road trip that road trip blogs were awesome but can’t wait for the house renovations

you both keep making great videos week after week I can watch your videos from 6 years onward and not be bored

Blueberry looked so cute on the outside! Being within 30 minutes of a big city is very convenient (personal experience). The other house you showed 2+ hours out was cute, too! You will find just the right one for you! I believe when things fall through, it just paves the way for something better. Thanks for sharing the search with us! Excited about seeing more with you. Love and prayers from SC, Jane

Boulder Colorado, Mork and Mindy! If it's a cash deal only the sellers wants it's because he knows a purchaser will not be able to get a mortgage on it. That should set alarm bells ringing and warrant a full survey to be carried out by a professional Surveyor.

Como, Fairplay, Jefferson gets MAJOR wind and snow. If you've never traveled in winter weather, be warned before exploring those areas in middle of winter. Just something to consider for folks looking to book vacations here in Colorado. :)

Ah, my cousin lives in Evergreen. And another cousin lives in Golden. Keep in mind, forest fires when out in "the woods"

When you do find the house you're really happy with. It would be well worth the money to have it professionally inspected, the drainfield, well, and complete structure. Don't forget to check on property taxes cost also.

After living in Colorado for several years, I've come to believe that many of these small mountain towns are... Not great. The ones that are better of course come with a pretty price tag. You have to consider internet access and things too. Mountain homes are much more work than people realize, and that's probably why lots of these remain on the market for so long.

I’m pretty darn proud of you two! Embracing a new season of life is often exciting, nerve wracking, surprising, and exhausting. But, so rewarding! You deserve to enjoy this next chapter. Thank you for taking us with you. I hope that the right home comes to you soon. ❤

I would highly recommend taking the trip way south to the Durango/Silverton/telluride/Ouray area and looking for places down there. Prices are a little cheaper, there’s major flights in and out of la plata regional airport, and the recreational opportunities are second to none. Of course I am biased because I lived there for six years lol.

The idea of living in the mountains is so invigorating. But, from someone who's lived in the colorado mountains for several years, you really need to do research and be prepared to be self-sufficient. Plumbers, electricians, chimney sweeps, and Septic companies are all extremely hard to come by. Be prepared! Also, many mountain counties recently voted to not allow short-term rentals in their areas. So know the local regulations before buying!! Things are getting more restrictive because so many people want to buy and then rent out, and communities want long-term residents, not vacationers, because of the increased risk for wild fires caused by "out of towners".

We lived on top of a mountain for three years and it has it’s ups and downs, but loved every minute of it! Good luck.

That old Ford is in such nice shape.
