We are located 10,500 feet above sea level. Located off of I-70, we are a 20-minute drive up the mountain with the last 0.50 miles of the drive being a gravel road. Our driveway is flat making parking easy. You will need to walk down about 20 steps to access our home. We do recommend AWD or 4WD during snowy months and AWD all year round. Strictly two cars per reservation maximum.

Guest Access:
Our entire home is available to guests. Self-checkin instructions will be sent 48 hours before your stay.

The Neighborhood:

Getting Around:
We highly recommend a 4WD or AWD drive vehicle in snowy season. We feel the drive is relatively easy given the elevation but is relative to your experience with high elevation and mountain roads. Send us a message if you have any questions or concerns.

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. Ice melt is usually readily available. 4WD vehicles are required October - May and AWD is required year-round. Please inquire prior to booking if you have questions regarding road conditions. If roads are open and you can't make it to the rental no refunds will be issued.
