Peakview Studio Apartment

This nice and cozy tiny space studio has a private entrance and is adjacent to our home on our 2-acre property at 9100 feet of elevation with great views of Pikes Peak and the surrounding mountains. Self service check-in and check-out. The space We moved to Colorado from Minnesota 18 years ago and discovered family and friends like to visit us now. ;-) As the home we purchased is a bit small, we decided there was a need for another space for guests so we built this studio apartment. It's a cozy little space for 2 with all the conveniences for a short trip away from home. Also perfect for those wanting to try out tiny home living. It is a 230 sq ft space with combined living and bed room area and micro bath that combines the shower (3'x3') and toilet in the same little tiled room. The kitchenette has a sink with mini fridge and microwave as well as a hot plate with cookware and dishware for 2. We really DO NOT have air-conditioning. It is rare that the temps get warm enough at 9100 feet of altitude to need air-conditioning. The climate is also very dry so even warm temps are comfortable. Service or Emotional Support dogs may have been on the property: We have a no pet policy so we can accommodate folks like us with pet dander sensitivities and allergies however Airbnb does require us to allow service or emotional support dogs on the property. For those folks with sensitivities or allergies to animal dander, know we do take extra effort, at our expense, to clean the property after a guest with a service dog but we do apologize if you have any adverse reaction. Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to completely and absolutely remove dander but we can let you know how long it's been since a dog has stayed on the property. 1 notable house rule: SMOKING AND OPEN FLAME POLICY No smoking of any kind anywhere in the space or on the property. Smoking at the end of the driveway is also unacceptable. No candles or open flames of any kind in the space or on the property. Fire danger is great in our dry climate. Guest access We also rent out our home so there may be other folks on the property. The spaces are separate buildings so you may not even notice others are around. We have found our guests to be really neighborly when we do run into them. Feel free to say hi and share your travel experiences. Other things to note This is mountain living so take care when on the property. Lots of gopher holes and uneven ground. The views are spectacular but with that comes the risk of a windy day once in a while too. COLORADO WINTER TRAVEL: There is a possibility of snowy roads anytime from September through April. It's such fickle weather. One day can be sunny and 50 degrees and the next day a 6-inch snowfall. Generally the roads clear up within a day or two of a snowfall so the impact isn't too troublesome.   If you rent our place in this time frame, be sure to drive a vehicle with good all season tires. All wheel drive isn't usually necessary as our driveway is flat and the road to the house is plowed often.   If there is a snowfall during your stay, we will have the driveway plowed out if we get more than 4 inches of snow and after the snow has stopped falling. If a snowfall lasts more than a single day, we may have it plowed out each day of a snowfall if more than 4 inches accumulate. The boardwalk will be shoveled too when the driveway is plowed.  There will be a shovel and broom available if you would like to clear any snow on or around your vehicle or snow on walkways. Use caution during any snowfall as steps and walks can become unexpectedly slippery. Message us if you have any issues.
