GOOD TO KNOW
- The road in is paved, but it can get snow in winter. 4WD or AWD is helpful, though not required. Drive to conditions.
- About 7,800 ft elevation. Bring layers, drink more water than you think you need, and expect the weather to shift fast.
- The house sits right off the Pikes Peak Highway. Adventures start fast, and you will hear passing vehicles.
- There is a neighbor nearby. Please honor quiet hours.
- The hot tub sits near the parking area. Park a car to the left of the entry as a privacy screen.
- Two levels: the front door is up an exterior staircase and the game room is on the lower level.
- Septic system: toilet paper only, nothing else down the drains.
- Bear country: bagged trash goes in the bear-proof bin, never left outside, and no food left in your vehicle.
- Cell service is solid in Cascade, and Starlink WiFi covers the house.
- Dogs: 2 max, up to 75 lbs each. Tell us about them when you book.
- Exterior security cameras on the property.
- Self check-in with a smart lock. Check in after 4 PM, check out by 10 AM. Your door code arrives before you do.
