Take a day trip to Salida, the Royal Gorge, Buena Vista, Breckinridge or soak in hot springs for summer fun! Activities for ALL walks of life! You won't forget your time in this romantic, memorable place! THIS IS A TINY HOME. PLEASE READ ALL OF OUR DESCRIPTIONS TO DETERMINE IF OUR UNIQUE ACCOMMODATIONS WILL SUIT YOUR NEEDS! We want our guests to feel at home! Upon your arrival you will find a home-baked treat along with our locally roasted "Guatemalan" coffee with a French Press to enjoy for your next morning's breakfast. If you enjoy the pastries, then you are welcome to order from our "menu" selection of many other goodies for additional delicious and quick morning breakfasts (all home-made by your host Shelly)! "Tiny House in the Big Mountains" is almost all Eco-Friendly! Starting with our Solar Panels for all of its energy needs, to its "earth friendly" needs that includes all of the cleaning supplies that we use down to the shampoo that we provide. We are also very blessed to have all natural well water! Our kitchen is fully equipped with all the equipment and appliances to create your favorite meals. Please keep in mind that our kitchen has a SMALL oven and SMALL dishwasher. We also have basic condiments, spices, teas and Keurig pods. BBQ tools are also available for grilling on our outdoor propane grill! Not only will you notice that our tiny home is extremely clean by visual standards, but it's sanitary through all the layers of bedding as well. I want our guests to know that we WASH EVERYTHING; not just the bed linens but also the Duvet Cover each and EVERY time we have new guests! Our water heater is "instant", which means that the water temperature heats quickly, but it can also fluctuate somewhat in temperature. We do ask that you don't linger in the shower due to our well water supply. Our curtains are all "privacy curtains". The only exception is the "entry door curtains" and they are black-out curtains. Once you have turned onto "Galloway" road, you're private parking space will be a little bit up the road on the left, next to the Tiny House. Please park in the parking spot and not in the private road. There is room for only one vehicle in the parking space. If you perhaps are traveling with another adult party as part of your booking and you have two vehicles, please contact us to make arrangements for parking that second vehicle. We live in the house directly above the tiny home. We honor your privacy so we won't plan to meet you upon your arrival, UNLESS you would like to meet us and we would be happy to come down to say "Hi"! Occasionally we will need to come down to care for the spa, courtyard or to water the flowers, but we will contact you first before to make sure that it's a good time for us to do those things. We live in a mountain neighborhood made up primarily of retired mountain folk, snowbirds, and families. People live on large lots, are friendly, and usually keep to themselves. Lots of dogs around and quite a bit of wildlife. You will see deer and the occasional bear or mountain lion. It's mandatory that you don't leave any food outside. We are within 10 minutes of quirky Manitou Springs (and Solaris Hot Springs!), 2 minutes to the Pikes Peak Hwy entrance, 10 minutes to Woodland Park, 5 minutes to Green Mountain Falls, and 25 minutes to downtown Colorado Springs. For those that ski, we are just about 2 hours from Monarch Ski Resort & Breckinridge, and 2.5 hours from resorts on the front range! There are numerous activities within minutes for those who love to shop, be active in the great outdoors, tour the attractions, or just to relax with nature. We are located 30 minutes from COS airport and 1.5-2 hours from DIA. We are 25 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs. If you don't drive or rent a car, Uber or Lyft are good options. AWD or 4WD are a requirement for winter driving. Your drive is up a hill which could be slick, although we do have our road regularly plowed. There is one parking spot for your private driveway; please don't park in the road. If you are staying with another couple that is driving a second vehicle, please call to make arrangements for an additional parking space. You must plan on driving at least an AWD vehicle to our place during fall, winter & spring. Our roads are maintained, but your drive is uphill and can be slick if we've had snow. A $50 extra cleaning fee may be charged for failing to respect hot tub rules, including: using glass in or near the hot tub, wearing heavy lotions or hair products into hot tub, and spilling food, drink, or bodily fluids into hot tub. Any of the above actions offset the chemical balance of the hot tub and make it unsanitary for future guests. Thank you for understanding (and showering before enjoying the hot tub). We allow no more than 4 guests for a booking; this includes infants as being the 4th guest. Being that our home is "tiny", it may not be suitable for very small children OR for 4 larger adults. Please keep this in mind, but this decision is left up to the booking guest. We charge $15 extra per night for each additional guest after two guests, except for under the age of two years old. We have two sleeping lofts, and one sofa sleeper. You will not be able to stand up in either loft. The "master- loft" sleeps 2 comfortably on a queen floor mattress; access is by stairs. The "mini-loft" is much smaller, narrower, and would be comfortable for a youth; access is by ladder only. Its dimensions are approx. 7' X 29". NO toddlers are allowed! Bedding is provided upon request. The "sofa sleeper" is the approx. size of a regular mattress. Two smaller adults would be able to fit CLOSELY if "stretching space" isn't a preference for you; it would be more suitable for 2 youths or just one adult. Bedding is provided upon request. We have also provided a "White Sound Noise" machine for those who are light sleepers! Our Tiny Home is located on Chipita Park Road, sharing the same one acre property that we, the owners live on. Although we share the same land, our Tiny Home is totally private and even includes an enclosed privacy fence around the courtyard; and yet we are close by in case of emergencies. We do live in a neighborhood, which mostly consists of retirees, snow birds and families. Our mountain views in this beautiful neighborhood will astound you from every window! Cell phone service is a little patchy here in the mountains. Verizon users get the best reception here. We do have WiFi availability for streaming services, but again because we live in the mountains, it can be intermittent at times.
