For Your Outside Pleasure……………….
SPECTACULAR MILLION DOLLAR VIEWS AS EVER! Get out your camera!
Early Autumn/Winter 2024
Autumn is here, listen carefully as you stand out on the deck, for you will start to hear the buggiling of the Bull Elk, with the many different sounds of the wildlife, as they prepare for the changing of the seasons. Lose yourself in the deep golds of the surrounding aspens and the kaleidoscope of the fall colors. Great photo opportunities for the amateur or the professional too!
For a couple more months, we have a resident Marmot or two in the neighbors’ wood piles. Marmots make a very high pitched squeal to alert their family. Please (kiddos and pups too) keep away from the wood piles. It is always wise to stay clear of any wildlife. Moose and elk tracks are throughout our property and anywhere else they feel like travelling. Wildlife abounds and don't be surprised if you see Fox, Moose, Elk, Osprey, Bald Eagle, Marmots, Deer and little forest creatures of all shapes and sizes running thru the property at anytime! Plenty of bird and raptor watching from all angles of the property. Get out your camera!!
The views from the living room and deck are spectacular of the continental divide and Lake Granby! Take a cup of your favorite beverage out to the deck and enjoy the sunrise or the moonrise! Chairs and Bench. Outside table and chairs for kiddos too. For your comfort while seated on the deck – new chairs and bench. During anytime of the year there is a gas grill for BBQs. Grill should not be left unattended. Please make certain the gas is turned completely off when NOT in use. *
At night, solar lit lanterns on the trail will guide you to the stainless steel firepit for you to enjoy. NO OPEN fire please! Make sure this area is attended by an adult at all times. Completely saturate pit with water when you are finished. Bucket in garage. Hose East side of house. FIRE BAN IS IN PLACE. REFER TO Welcome Guide for restrictions.
PLEASE take full advantage of those amazing, never-ending views!!!!

L'Ours Haus is located in the Stillwater tracts area. Please take State Hwy Rd 34 to CR 4, (between the horse-elk statues and the "Highway 34 Storage" business.) Go west on CR 4 about two miles. Then take a left onto CR 451. There is a wood post with a bunch of names/signs on it. Follow the 1st white arrow with a Bear Paw on it for L'Ours Haus. Note: This left you take is the last left before you head into the National Forest. If you hit gravel, you have gone too far, turn around and then take your first right coming back.
Once you turn on CR 451 go a little more than a block to a fork. There is a 2nd Bear paw white arrow on this post with many other painted signs. Stay right of the fork, passing a driveway. A few feet up the dirt road is the 3rd Bear Paw white arrow sign (next to sign Surratt) on a wire fence. Turn right. Go up the little bumpy dirt road, about 200 yds.
There is a little Bear sitting on yellow drum holding another sign as you come to our driveway. L'Ours Haus is on the right of the cul-de-sac. Welcome. "Fuzzy The Bear" is waiting to greet you. Don't worry he can't hurt you........made of wood.
There you will experience your FIRST MILLION DOLLAR VIEWS
