Guest access
In addition to your cottage and patio, explore the many inviting spaces on the land—swing in a hammock, relax by the fire pit, picnic in the meadow, or snowshoe in winter.

Other things to note
Our cabin is about 1/2 mile up a county rd that is regularly plowed and maintained. Snow is common from Nov-April or May. You should not need a 4WD to get up to our house in good conditions, but AWD and/or snow tires are helpful and recommended in Colorado winter. We recommend at least having an AWD vehicle for winter travel to our home and also in the surrounding mountain area.

Cell service in our area is spotty, unless you have AT&T. Please load your directions before you come. Once you are here you can use wifi for calling. The wifi here is reliable and strong.

We also live on the property in the main house and are generally here if you need anything during your stay. You may sometimes see us out and about with our son and our dog, but you'll have total privacy in your space. We look forward to hosting you!
