ViewHouse Centennial Facebook For a picture-perfect view of the nearby Rocky Mountains and killer Happy Hour specials, there is no better place to spend the evening than the ViewHouse! (Psst… If you can wait and visit later in the evening, you will be rewarded with a front-row seat of the sun setting behind the mountains.)
