Access to the cabin from Oct-Jun requires a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle, as roads can be steep, muddy and snow-covered. The thin air can make physical activity more strenuous, and temperatures can drop quickly, even in summer, so be sure to pack warm layers.

Any questions, don't hesitate to message us!! Guest access: Our entire private home is available to guests, and self check-in instructions will be sent 24-48 hours before your stay. We know that many guests like to check-in early and truly hope to accommodate all requests. We will attempt to message you once the cleaning crew has completed their work to let you know the home is available. Other things to note: If it snows during your stay guests may need to shovel the deck/pathway to clear a path. We have snow removal service after every major snow storm ends but it is likely you may need to shovel snow.

Parking for 2 cars, please plan accordingly as parking on the county roads may result in a parking ticket or tow. Exterior Cameras: There is an exterior security camera on each of the doors (3 total). These allow us to monitor the weather, snowfall, and can assist with initial entry. Once checked in, all cameras are turned off! Heating/AC: Mountain climate is mild and most houses do not have central AC. Feel free to open windows as needed! There are floorboard heaters throughout the living space and bedrooms. You can adjust these as needed (they will heat the bedrooms up quick, I recommend keeping them low).

Travel Insurance/Cancellations: We HIGHLY recommend buying travel insurance through your airline company, car rental company, or a travel insurance website. We cannot provide a refund for anything that falls outside of our cancellation policy and the dates that correspond with the policy. This includes date change requests as they are considered the same as cancellations (if the new requested check-in date is a later date than your original check-in date).

This can be found under your reservation, directly through our listing, or through the website that you booked.

Last minute bookings are typically non-refundable. Altitude: Remember, you are at 10,000+ feet - the altitude means that your body will need to adjust to thinner air. Drinking plenty of water and taking frequent breaks if you feel winded/out-of-breath is recommended. Please check with your doctor before booking if you may have any conditions that may be adversely affected by a higher altitude. Our Property Manager does offer the use of Oxygen Concentrator (for a fee), if needed.
