The space
In just under 700 sq ft, this cozy mountain cottage packs in a lot of charm. Nestled in the trees, it’s the perfect hideaway—close to everything, but just far enough to feel like a retreat.

Inside, you’ll find a comfy living area with versatile seating—ideal for game night, puzzle time, or curling up by the fire with a good book. The wraparound porch is made for morning coffee or watching the leaves turn and bloom with the seasons, and the fire pit is perfect for s’mores under the stars.

The primary bedroom has a queen bed and smart TV, while the second room now features a bunk bed and a loft bed with a built-in desk underneath—great for kids or guests needing a dedicated workspace.

The bathroom has a double vanity and a full tub, stocked with plenty of towels for your use. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals at home, plus coffee, tea, and a guide to our favorite local restaurants if you’d rather dine out.

This little cottage has been a labor of love, and we’re so happy to share it with you. Whether you’re here for skiing, hiking, or just relaxing—we think you’ll feel right at home.

Guest access
You’ll have the entire place to yourselves, including the laundry room which is accessed from a separate entrance outside off the side porch. Guests must be comfortable using stairs to access the laundry room.

Other things to note
— Wildlife + Trash Disposal
Because we’re in a mountain area with active wildlife, we ask guests to take their trash with them upon departure whenever possible.

There’s a convenient drop-off site just down the road at the Aho Convenience Center—hours are listed in our guidebook. If you’re checking out on a day it’s closed, feel free to leave one small, tied trash bag inside the bin.

Thanks so much for helping us keep the mountains beautiful!

— Snow + Winter Driving Tips
Our cozy neighborhood sits up a steep hill, which means winter driving can be tricky. Please plan ahead during snow season!

AWD or 4WD is highly recommended to safely reach the property in winter weather.
Tires: All-season tires often struggle on steep, snowy roads. For the best traction, we recommend tires with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol.
Chains: Peerless Autotrac chains are our go-to—easy to install and super effective. Practice putting them on before you need them!
Vehicles: Smaller, lighter vehicles tend to handle better on hills. If you’re in a truck, adding weight over the back axle can help with traction.
Plowing: Our private road is plowed after storms, typically down to one lane. Sunshine and warmer temps do the rest!

— Longer Stays
Guests staying 30+ days will receive one complimentary cleaning per month. We ask that the space be kept reasonably tidy to allow our cleaner to do their job with ease. If the home is left excessively dirty, additional cleaning fees may apply.
