BACKYARD:
Most of the yard is in the back and extends all the way to the fence in the far distance next to the white house and approximately 15' further on the side than our shed (there is a map on the refrigerator that shows property boundaries). The large deck and firepit areas allow for family togetherness and enjoyment with the propane bbq grill, seating and backyard games (corn-hole and frisbee golf), and multiple places for small group gatherings. The gas fire pit uses a propane tank, and we have 1 extra tank on site in case you run out. Please do let us know if you use up one of the tanks so we can be sure to get it replaced for our next guests. Looking west, you will see Prospect Mountain nearby and then through the backyard ponderosa pines, you will see the rays from the sun setting on Lumpy Ridge to the north.

Many birds make their homes in our ponderosa pines. In the yard, you'll be among rabbits, chipmunks, and butterflies (in the summer months). Mule deer and elk are frequent visitors, sometimes munching on the natural mountain grasses and wildflowers or even napping on the property! There are mountain lions, black bear and bobcats in the area though seldom seen.

COOLING:
Our nights are cool even during the warmest days. All bedrooms are equipped with fans and cool down quickly with open windows, the setting sun, and our fresh mountain breeze. A/C is not the norm and seldom needed as Estes Park is a mild mountain climate and during the summer we are generally 10-15 degrees cooler than the nearby lower elevations of Colorado. The large shade trees and excellent insulation of this house keep it particularly comfortable in all seasons.

SHED:
Reserved for cleaner's supplies and maintenance tools.

PINECONES:
YES! You may take home bags and bags of fallen pine cones for your winter crafts and decorations. hahaha! But seriously, please feel free to!

CLEANING:
We paying a living wage to our cleaners, and actually pay $40-80 more than the cost you see on your reservation. Please care for our property as you would want your own to be cared for, the routine cleaning and disinfecting takes several hours between guests. We do not ask our guests to strip beds or start any laundry. We only ask that you start the dishwasher and take your trash out to the bear can.

DOGS:
We are happy to welcome dogs who are good travelers. Here are our pet rules:
-must be very well house and potty trained, even in unfamiliar places.
-no excessive barking while inside or outside.
-no digging in the yard.
-please clean up after them outside each time they go potty.
-please keep them off the bedding and furniture, or lay down provided dog-specific blankets on couch for them to rest on.
-must not be left unattended in the home or on the premise. If you absolutely must leave your dog at the house for a short while, you may bring a kennel to keep them in or if they are well trained they may stay gated in the entry hall. $50 fee for each/any incident not following these rules.

We hope you cherish your stay in this inviting mountain retreat!
Kindly,
Joe & Kari
