Enjoy bicycling, hiking, and skiing in the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area and Rocky Mountain National Park. Great space for those in need of a base camp in the Rocky Mountains. We very much respect, welcome and enjoy all religions, nationalities and diversity in general. Great internet service. Please READ FULL description prior to booking. The space We have a 300 sq ft studio available. The space is a walkout ground floor studio attached to the main house. We designed it to be quiet, extremely safe for solo travelers, clean and with a lot of natural light. It has a sleeping loft with a queen size latex memory foam. Kitchen includes a regular sized propane cooking stove/oven, a double sink with regular plumbing and a mini fridge. A small shower is also part of the setup. Sleeping loft ceilings are 4 ft at the head. The bathroom has 5'8" ceilings all around. The space uses Starlink internet for remote working. Please note that the space uses an exterior vault toilet. This means, it does NOT have a regular indoor flushing toilet. The outdoor toilet is well kept and very clean. It is located 150 ft or so from the space as shown in the pictures. In one sentence, the studio is a great fit for a quiet, self sufficient and grateful individual looking to be in touch with nature. Please note that the studio is attached to the main house. If having a door that communicates between the main house and the studio is an issue for you, our space will not work for your needs. Though the space is very quiet and independent, it has a communal feel to it. We pride ourselves in creating a natural environment that fosters introspection and creativity. Indiana Creek runs through the length of our property providing ample opportunities to rest in a hammock or sit by the water. If you are looking for a solo adventure without other humans around, the experience we provide will not be a good fit. It works best for those wanting a base camp when hiking and exploring our wilderness. We have another cabin close by that we also rent on Airbnb. If you have any questions, please let us know. Guest access Left Hand Canyon Rd is a recently paved two lane highway with no traffic. It is truly a beautiful commute. Other things to note The space is located at 9,250 ft in elevation five minutes away from the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area and Brainard Lake Recreational area which boasts amazing views of the Continental Divide. We are also located 40 minutes away via a beautiful scenic drive to the Rocky Mountain National Park. In addition, we are 30 minutes away via a scenic drive from Boulder. Given that we are runners, skiers and mountain bikers, we have an extensive knowledge of the trail systems in the area. We also know Colorado quite well. An aspen forest surrounds our home. As such, the space is very peaceful and private. It also has a lot of light and passive solar gain. 1. We welcome attentive to detail, clean, quiet, considerate & friendly folks. 2.
