"Colorado is outdoorsy as a whole, but it seems like Bayfield offers more seclusion," says Realtor Taylor Leeder, who grew up in the area and works for R1 Colorado.

Bayfield has a quaint downtown core with family-owned restaurants where locals, according to Leeder, know their servers by first name.
