I live in Denver and think that -- maybe -- I can afford to get a small cabin in the mountains. I'm looking for suggested places. The ideal spot would be: within a couple of hours of Denver, not too expensive, reasonably near (say, within a 30 minute drive) a ski resort, near a town with nice enough amenities (a decent restaurant or two, shops, coffee shops, etc.), access to climbing, cycling, etc. I'd like to get a place in Frisco, but I think it's a little more than I can afford. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
