****ing tough one.
If the Colorado house was in Maryland I'd probably choose that one. Colorado house is just a schoch more my bag. EDIT: Oof, typed that before the stipend. The stipend tips it. Maryland it is. |

This one was tough.... had I looked at the other two, I might have voted Maryland as it's the only one left near major metro areas. Colorado (and Hawaii) are two that have enough outdoorsy stuff that more than makes up for it though.

The Colorado house may be the most polished house in the tournament. It's superb, and it's in a gorgeous setting, and Aspen is a world-class town. It's tough to beat, even with a lot of snow. I still don't understand how there's no indoor pool, though. That's an oversight. But everything else in the house perfectly balances being both gorgeous and comfortable.
But man, Maryland is a fighter. It needs a bit of updating on style, but it's got great bones. It's more than twice the size of Colorado and sits on a nice 22 acres that's both serenely rural and within easy reach of a lot of cool destinations. It's in a mild climate where I can access the best museums in the world and also head to the coast and walk the boardwalks. I gotta go Maryland here. I get a nice big stipend for redecorating, and everything else is ideal.

I had to go with the stipend differential. That's a lot of extra smores.

Both are awesome properties... but the stipend actually won me over too.

I've only been following this tourney for the last couple of rounds, but that Colorado set-up is top notch. One of the best houses, great views, and in a great state. I'm all in.

I just can't get into homes that look like 1770 Colonials. Maryland's location is incredible but I hate the house.
Colorado House looks more like a hotel/conference center but I'll take it over MD

I really hated to vote against the CO property. Had to go with MD though.

No amount of money would get the East Coast stench off me. I had to go CO.
