It is very safe and mainly formed of vacation or second homes. Our permanent residents are very welcoming and accommodating to travelers and guests. Please return the respect and curtesy. An AWD vehicle is highly recommended year round and a MUST during snow season due to dirt roads and driving conditions. There are 3 ways of accessing the chalet within the subdivision. Maps will direct your through the fastest route which happens to be very treacherous. You will be receiving an alternate, friendlier route post booking. Please read all automated messages carefully and print them out if you choose to not use a navigation app during your trip. Getting around This chalet makes a good home base for trips to many nearby tourist attractions including Manitou Springs, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, The Manitou Incline, Seven Falls, Old Colorado Springs, U.S. Olympic Training Center, North Pole Santa’s Workshop, Eleven Mile State Park, Cog Railway and many others.

Guest access Guests will have access to the whole space except our storage and supply closet located at the back of the master bedroom. Reservations of 4 nights and longer will be given access to this closet for laundry facilities. Please do not disturb or use our stored supplies without our explicit direction to help us provide the same experience to all our guests. Other things to note We pride ourselves in providing a clean and tidy space for all our guests. Due to high interest and accepting same day reservations, we want to allow our cleaner all necessary time to thoroughly complete cleaning and disinfecting tasks. For this reason we are not able to accommodate late checkout requests. Please plan accordingly and book the correct amount of days as to allow for a prompt 11 AM checkout time. A late checkout fee of $150 will be added to your reservation costs if house is not vacant by 11:30 AM. The beautiful yet remote location comes with its own drawbacks. The roads leading to the chalet are dirt roads with some steep inclines. Driving an AWD is highly recommended year-round and a MUST during snow season (October - May). Roads get cleared of snow and maintained by our local group of volunteers which might cause delays at times especially during very heavy snow storms. Please keep your schedule flexible when forecast warns for heavy snow storms, mainly prevalent but not exclusive to February and March. Also water for the chalet DOES NOT come in unlimited supply. It is stored in an underground cistern tank and fill-up service needs to be scheduled ahead of time with our local water service supplier. It is potable and safe to drink and use for cooking. However we must ask that you are mindful about water preservation. Do not leave faucets or shower running if not in use, run full loads in the dishwasher and laundry washer, limit hand washing dishes if possible and ensure your reservation includes the correct number of guests in your group. Please note that, for the same reasons, laundry facilities is available only for reservations of 4 nights or longer. Restricted mobility guests: Access to and from the house requires you climb and/or descent several steps to reach the building plus the deck stairway showed in the second picture. The interior of the chalet is set on three levels with the master bedroom on the ground level, accessible through a sliding door from outside and down a flight of stairs from the main level on the inside. Shared living spaces, living room, kitchen, dining area and main bathroom are on the main level (second story) and the loft bedroom including two queen size side-by-side beds is on the third level. To reach that you will need to climb another stairway. Lots of steps which might not be ideal for guests with restricted mobility. Please check in with your group to ensure this is not an issue before booking. Reservations of 10+ days will be subject to a deep cleaning fee. Please ask your host for details prior to booking.
