Did you know there is a cottage filled with mermaids in southern Colorado?
Even though it is a thousand miles from the nearest ocean, this B n B has a bevvy of seafaring sirens. It has gorgeous views, breathtaking skies, and wonderful structures. The cottage is registered with Airbnb. For details on how to spend a night or a month visit https://www.mermaidcottage.org/
Built by KimAnna Cellura-Shields and her husband Michael, the Mermaid Cottage is a testament to the possibilities of building with log ends, glass and mortar.
The shower is an entire glass bottle wall. The surrounding countryside is beyond compare.
The kitchen sign says “The Mermaid is in.”The bedroom is vibrant with color. Even the bathroom will bathe you in light and beauty.
