GOOD TO KNOW
- About 9 steps up to the front door, 8 up and 6 down inside, and roughly 12 more down to the hot tub. Not workable with a stroller or a mobility device.
- Paved most of the way in, then gravel and uphill. AWD or 4WD required October through May and the better call all year. After a storm, plan a slow morning.
- 8,324 ft elevation. Drink more water than you think you need and take the first afternoon easy.
- No air conditioning, heat only. Nights drop into the 50s even in July, fans in every bedroom.
- You'll hear US-285: a low hum in the evening, and a few neighbors through the trees. Private, not remote.
- Both fireplaces are decorative and locked, and open fires aren't allowed at short-term rentals here. The propane fire pit and grill are fine.
- Two exterior cameras, front door and lower deck. Nothing inside, nothing pointed at the hot tub.
- Cell service is okay, WiFi is better.
- Well water and a septic system. Toilet paper only, no wipes.
- Bear country. Nothing edible left outside overnight.
- Dogs: 2 max, up to 75 lbs each. Please clean up the yard before you leave so we can keep allowing dogs.
- Driveway parking only, gravel, roughly 4 to 6 vehicles depending on size.
- Self check-in with a smart lock, code sent before you arrive. Check-in after 4 PM, checkout 10 AM.
