We’re accessible year-round, and getting here is part of the adventure! The cabin sits on a county road that’s regularly plowed in the winter, but during snowy months (typically December–April), we recommend an AWD or 4x4 vehicle with good tire tread for a smoother, stress-free arrival. Mountain weather can shift quickly, so it’s always a good idea to check road conditions before heading out and plan accordingly. Colorado also has winter driving traction laws in place, so be sure your vehicle meets the requirements to avoid any issues along the way.

Speaking of snow, this is the Colorado Rockies so be prepared! We do our best to plow the area in front of the cabin and shovel the walkway. However, the remote nature of this place can make these tasks delayed. We do provide a shovel in case you need to clear a path.

OUTSIDE LIGHT:
Because the village of Twin Lakes is celebrated as a 'Dark Sky City,' everyone in town does their utmost to minimize the amount of exposed light outside their homes. For this reason, we only have a solar-powered light above the address to allow you to find the property but no other functional exterior light. Please bring a flashlight if you require light to be used outside.

This home is located in a remote, historic mountain town. As visitors to the area, please think about your impact on our town and the small surrounding communities. Please respect full-time residents' privacy and solitude. Follow Leave No Trace guidelines when visiting and recreating in the beautiful outdoors, and please consider supporting local dining and shopping during your stay.

To keep the home feeling as fresh as the surrounding mountain air, smoking is not permitted indoors. If you choose to smoke, we kindly ask that you do so outside and away from the home. A $600 fee may apply if this policy isn’t followed. Thank you for helping us maintain a clean and comfortable space for all guests.
