Love is in the air at this charming 19th-century cottage in the mountains. Each of the spacious, bright rooms is cozy and warm, while the outdoor porch, lined with colorful potted flowers, is the perfect spot for outdoor dining. The food is just as magical. The kitchen offers sophisticated French food prepared with a modern sensibility. Signature dishes include Colorado lamb chops and roasted elk medallions with fruit compote. The house-made ice cream is the perfect finish.
