This is the wild west, with moose, black bear, bobcat, coyote, fox, mule deer, elk and a plethora of birds abounding! Please respect, don't feed and read the rules. Like any old rustic cabin, it has it's quirks, but is an amazing and authentic Rocky Mountain place to stay and play! Sunscreen and bug spray are recommended. Early to mid summer can be buggy and we get the occasional mouse and sometimes a cobweb! If you can't deal with a vintage cabin, please rent a shiny renovation down the road... SMOKING SAFELY OUTSIDE IS OK. 420 FRIENDLY. Owner's studio is a small cottage approximately 30 feet away from the big cabin, and we may pass in the driveway, but your privacy is assured. By booking with us, you agree to present any issues to the owner via the Airbnb message site and give us the opportunity to remedy any issues while you are staying. We are extremely transparent with our listing, will answer any questions before your arrival and during your stay, and we love our 5 star reviews! We don't like mean or difficult people (who does?) and they will be asked to leave. To those who like to complain about the value, please go stay in Aurora at the Motel 6 for a hundred dollars a night - they left the light on for you! We are providing our home to Airbnb guests who would like to experience a unique, historic, Rocky Mountain cabin within an hour and a quarter of an International Airport! It is a slice of mountain heaven, very comfortable but rustic, in an amazing location close to a mountain town and endless hiking in the National Forest. The ski area is about 10 minutes up the hill! It is vacation paradise! And when you add up all that goes into your stay - just to name a few - kitchen staples, cleaning supplies, furnishings, linens, bathroom supplies, music, movies, television, internet, games, wine, chocolate, flowers, PROPANE AND ELECTRIC HEAT, SEPTIC TANK PUMPING, fair wage housekeeping including extra labor to wash every dish in the house sometimes because the guests wash the dishes up real quick-like and forget to get the food off... carpet shampooing, propane for barbeque and outdoor fire pit, snow removal in winter, theft, replacing stolen Pendleton blankets, and damage to anything that can be ruined, broken or burnt, then I'd say it's worth a little more than Motel 6. Please go stay there if you must. And, don't forget that Airbnb tacks on their own hefty service fee on top of our nightly rate. The cabin is cleaned professionally, but it is an old log cabin with it's unique smells, old floors and implements, creaks and quirks. Not a shiny new condo! We do get mice occasionally, and bugs occasionally fly in the house. Hell, there might even be a cobweb or two that we missed... Moose frequent the yard and sometimes poop! And we are truly sorry that there is no garbage disposal in the sink. Not too many cabins had them in 1919 and we never put one in... Guest access 4WD required November to April. Park in the driveway for one to two cars.
