We had the ramp built so it is wheelchair friendly. We provide a clean, relaxing, beautifully decorated lodge for respectful guests and their supervised children and well-trained fur-pals. We are on a very quiet block and welcome laughter and good times, but we also respect that our neighbors are not on vacation. Evening noise after 9pm on weekdays or 10pm on weekends is not acceptable. This is a NON-SMOKING LODGE...NOT ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY, $400 FINE FOR EVIDENCE OF ANY SMOKING. We are adamant about this. We are in an extremely high fire danger area and cigarette butts are a fire danger as well as being unsightly. If there is any evidence of smoking ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY there will be a $400 fine as well. Please respect the house rules and appreciate that most of our guests are looking for clean mountain air and fresh smelling cabins. Please do not book with us if this is a problem. Guest access You have full access to the entire lodge and fenced in yard. (YES, I AM REPEATING THIS) This is a NON-SMOKING LODGE...NOT ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY, $400 FINE FOR EVIDENCE OF ANY SMOKING.

Grab a cup of coffee and read on Greetings! Welcome to our little piece of paradise at 6000 feet. We hope you have a relaxing and wonderful stay at the Mountain Pines Lodge FYI: the altitude may make you more tired than usual and the air is extremely dry. Drink lots of water to avoid “altitude headache” and dry mouth. Keep a glass of water by the bed as well as lip-balm.

AND IF YOU MUST HAVE YOUR STINK WEED, BRING BROWNIES! LODGE TEMPERATURE: Summer: Open windows around 5 pm and close them in the morning. The downstairs bedroom is the coolest place in the house as it is partially subterranean. The back deck is also the cooler of the two decks during the day. We have a portable AC unit that works well. KITCHEN: There is NO GARBAGE DISPOSAL. We are on septic and it’s too hard on the system. Please do not put any grease or other food product down the sink. We have a compost container next to the coffee maker and a composter out in the front yard (no dairy or meat products). It takes a while for sink water to get hot; rather than waste all that water down the sink, please let it run into the pot and water the plants outside. There is a coffee maker and filters, a toaster and blender in the cabinet to the right of the refrigerator and a built in microwave oven. Trash & Recycling MUST be separated; we get fined $50 if the trash company finds trash in recycling or visa versa! CRV containers may be put in the additional bin by the roll outs. Those benefit the local elementary school. BATHROOMS: There are two full bathrooms, one off the Master bedroom (pull shower handle towards you to turn on water...it might be stiff) the other in the hallway. In Wrightwood we all have septic tanks so we must be mindful of what gets flushed; do not use more TP than necessary and do not flush any feminine products, hand wipes, paper towels, hair or diaper wipes. Any plumber fees incurred for the plug up by these items will be removed from your security deposit. Please remember to limit shower times to less than seven minutes. Even though we have a newer water heater, there is a limit to the amount of hot water! MASTER BEDROOM: The king bed is made with fresh linens. There are fun cabin themed pj’s in the dresser. If you use any, please leave them out on the bed to be washed. In closet you will find a shower chair and raised toilet seat. SECONDARY BEDROOM: There is a queen bed in here as well as a large closet with a pack ‘n play, Bumbo, high chair and a crib mattress. If you use the Pack and Play, please do not fold it up or put it away. Leave it out so it can be sanitized before the next guests’ use. Please turn down a corner of the comforter of each USED bed so it is obvious it was used. DORMER: The downstairs bedroom is partially subterranean and naturally stays cooler than the rest of the house. No matter how high you set the house thermostat, it won’t warm up as much as the rest of the house. We have plenty of extra blankets…this room is a favorite in the summer! LINENS: PLEASE SLEEP BETWEEN THE SHEETS, not between the top sheet and comforter. Pull back the bedspread and sheets of any used beds so it is obvious that the bed was used. WATER: Wrightwood tap water is under high pressure and full of bubbles. The bubbles will disappear within a minute and you’ll have crystal clear water. I love the mineral rich Wrightwood water and think you will too! Again, you want to be drinking copious amounts of water; please don’t make me say, “I told you so!” YARD: The yard is fenced in for medium and large dogs. Our 20 pound dog could squeeze through the front fence until he fattened up to 27 pounds. If your dog is a digger, please supervise and please clean up any “gifts.” If you have any old skis (any kind, any age, any shape) you would like to donate towards the ongoing “ski wall” project, please bring them up and leave them on the front deck…better than going to a landfill and you will be able to see them in a place of honor. BBQ: We supply a gas barbecue, please do not move it from its platform in the yard. Please clean grill after use FIRE PIT: May only be used when it is 100% adult supervised. Do not have the fire on high. Please text me if you run out of propane. NEVER leave it unattended; we WILL get reported! POWER SHORTAGE SUPPLIES: In the event of a power shortage, there are supplies in a basket above the refrigerator as well as battery backup nightlights. > When visiting a mountain town, it's important to be aware that you may encounter various types of insects and bugs due to the natural environment. No refunds will be issued, though we make every effort to manage pest control. Registration number CESTRP-2021-02157
