About this property

Secluded Lake Retreat – Birdwatcher’s Haven

Tucked beneath towering trees on a private 40-acre lake, Amor Vida is a peaceful, vintage-style sanctuary where birdsong, hammocks, and serenity await. A wide green lawn stretches to the water’s edge, inviting barefoot mornings and sunset picnics. Inside, the cottage is delightfully charming, well-appointed, and full of thoughtful touches — the kind of place that feels both deliciously cozy and refreshingly restorative.

Sip coffee from the porch while herons glide across the water. Stretch out in the hammock with a book or listen to the breeze dance through the trees. Whether you're here to birdwatch, stargaze, or simply unplug, Amor Vida is designed to help you slow down and savor.

Inside, you’ll find comfy beds with pristine linens, a fully equipped kitchen (yes, even the spices), and vintage charm in every corner — including a record player with a handpicked collection of classic vinyls. Outside, enjoy the fire pit under the stars, picnic tables for lakeside meals, and a wide open lawn perfect for lawn games, yoga, or doing absolutely nothing at all.

New this season: we’ve begun planting our on-site flower farm, with blooms starting to show their colors. Guests may get a first glimpse of fresh-cut bouquets or even catch us harvesting for market.

Perfect for couples, creatives, and nature lovers, Amor Vida is more than a stay — it’s a sanctuary for the senses.

Business Meetings

This was the perfect place to stay! We were looking for a location out of town and away from the office for our team. The house was stocked well so we could cook. The beds were very comfortable!

Simply amazing

Booked this house to accommodate my fiancee, 3 adult children, 3 grandchildren and 2 dogs while in town for our wedding. A few weeks before checkin our wedding venue fell through. Courtney was absolutely amazing, offered to help set up and get anything we needed. The wedding was held on the property lawn. Checkin was easy, Courtney kept in contact with us. Property is remote enough to be very quiet and peaceful but close enough to a market and 30 mins from city. There is literally everything you need in this house! Toiletries, games, waffle maker, several sets of dishes, kid dishes, ice maker. Bring your tooth brush, everything else is here. House is big enough for everyone, the lawn is huge with a fireplace, hammack, swings. There are lawn games in the game room of the house. This will be our go to everytime we come to this area. Very impressed!

All the touches

I am incredibly impressed with the home. So clean. All the small touches, it was so well done. We loved how quiet it was. We were just getting away from city life and this was the best stress relief. We appreciated the communication with the host.

Tranquility at its finest

This beautiful farm home is set in the perfect spot to be at peace with nature. Its obvious the host wants their guest to have the best possible experience with attention to detail and quick response to every question and it is a stress-free and refreshing experience. I highly recommend Amor Vida for the perfect get away home

Above and Beyond!

A wonderful experience! The property was beautiful, inside and out. The vintage decor was sweet and nostalgic. I found myself saying more than once, "my mom/grandma had that when I was a kid!" Anything we needed was available and easy to find. There was a great selection of games and lots of linens and blankets! Small, attractive-looking signs with helpful hints appeared everywhere and added to the charming decor. Our teens/preteen LOVED the wood-burning stove and the record player, which included a selection of fun vintage vinyls! The kitchen was very well stocked with multiple sets of dishes, from fine China to Corelle, to plastic for the littlest guests. The waffle iron was a big hit too! It was too cold to spend much time outside while we were there, but it was calm and peaceful, and the landscape and views were lovely! There was no long list of checkout demands, which let us relax up to the moments! Courtney was available and welcoming and made sure we knew where the nearest market was and what was available in town. She even made arrangements for us to get back an item that was left behind. Top notch hostess, top notch experience! Truly Above and Beyond! We would definitely stay there again!

Amazing House!

We were up in the Greeley for my daughters volleyball tournament weekend and we were lucky to find this gem of a rental. It was exactly as advertised. They thought of every possible detail when outfitting the house for guests. There is a full game room, huge smart tv, amazing wifi, comfy beds and linens, native bath products, fully stocked kitchen, Keurig, and ice maker. Every detail so meticulously thought out. The decor is perfect farm house charm with some of the vintage elements perfectly maintained. Not to mention the privacy, mountain sunsets, and the beautiful lake. The hosts were super communicative, responsive, and flexible. We have rented many vrbo’s and this will be one of our absolute favorites! We will definitely be back!
