Lots of windows let in all of the gorgeous Colorado sunshine.

This is a no pets home due to allergies.

Make your way upstairs to the queen sized bed or stay downstairs on the full sized sofa sleeper.

Relax here and take in the sounds and fresh air of the forest.
Star gazing is especially amazing here as it is a high altitude with very little light pollution.

The peak for fall colors is late September/early October and snow can fall anytime from October through May.

TV upstairs with DVDs. WiFi is provided through Starlink.

If you are considering booking with small children, please note the steepness of the stairs and style of railing.
Sleeping on the sofa sleeper downstairs is always an option for children or anyone not comfortable with stairs.

We know how important a campfire in the mountains is and as local bans and contidions permit, safe campfires are always welcome.

We know that you like to travel with pets and we appreciate your companions but a member of our family is highly allergic to dogs. We make great efforts to keep the space spotlessly clean and allergen free. Due to allergy issues, pets are absolutely not allowed at this time. Please do not attempt to sneak in any pets.

Be sure to screenshot your directions as the cell signal comes and goes during the drive up. This cabin is located on a 2wd dirt road. It’s usually passable in any car but during the winter months, 4wd may be needed.

Mountain towns: looking for local shops, restaurants and strolls? Salida and Canon City are both about 45 minutes away.
Looking for some hot springs? There is an indoor hot springs pool in Salida. Mount Princeton is just past Salida with its renowned hot springs.
White Water Rafting: Some of the best in Colorado along the Arkansas River! Royal Gorge, home of the highest suspension bridge in the US, is a 45 minute drive from the cabin. Visiting in the Winter? Monarch Mountain is about an hour's drive.

At 9,300 feet in altitude, we do get lots of snow in the winter. The 6 miles of dirt road is county maintained but it does take time for snow to be plowed.
