Guest Access:
+ You have access to the entire home and grounds with the exception of a locked closet.
+ Check in is at 5pm and check out time is by 10am. We do our best to accommodate early check in and/or late check out requests. We offer these based upon our housekeeping team's approval as their schedule can be demanding and for an additional fee of $25 per request. Please note, the earliest check in time available is 2pm and the latest checkout time we can accommodate is noon.
The Neighborhood:
+ You're in walking distance to the Dinosaur Resource Center, Memorial Park, our local brewery Bierwerks which features food trucks, and downtown Woodland Park. We love Cafe Leo for a cup of coffee and a breakfast bagel sandwich, or AJ's pizza for takeout and dining at home over a movie or on the deck.
+ Enjoy true Colorado living and all the conveniences of home with views of an abundance of Ponderosa Pine forests the craggy North Slope of Pike's Peak, all from a quiet street within five minutes of a Natural Grocers and Walmart. You'll be close to hiking (trailheads within 5-10 minutes by car), fly-fishing (gold medal waters within 30 minutes at Deckers or 11-Mile Canyon or just a bit further to the world-famous "dream stream"), a breathtaking local golf course (not only because of Shining Mountain Gold Course's views but also the altitude of 8,500 ft!) and much more. Please let us know your areas of interest, and we'll be happy to share some local secrets with you.
+ Sometimes people ask about the lack of air conditioning. Very few Colorado homes at our altitude of 8,500 have air conditioning. If it gets a little hot in the peak parts of summer, the use of fans and/or a cross breeze from two open windows is usually enough to cool things off, and temperatures normally drop dramatically at night so most locals sleep with windows open. Most of our guests don't wish for air conditioning, and some decide to move to Colorado for this reason. :)
Getting Around:
+ Woodland Park is quite walkable, but public transportation is limited. Most guests drive here or rent a car so they can explore the area further.
Other Things to Note:
+ Sleep in peace on super soft linens which were laundered in a professional facility to ensure the highest possible amount of viruses and bacteria are utterly destroyed.
+ The neighbor's dog Taz tends to bark a loud welcome. After you settle in Taz will too.
+ This is bear country. Please do not leave any food outdoors or in your car.
+ The patio string lights are plugged in through an extension cord found in the left hall closet.
+ We reserve the right to collect ID directly from our guests before allowing access to the property. This is in addition to identification you may be asked to provide to the booking platform.
+ Our team sets out linens appropriate to the number of people on your reservation so please make sure your reservation accurately reflects the number in your party. Be aware that we charge a $30/night fee for additional guests after 4.
+ Cabin is Showing Some Age: we think it's still beautiful and love staying there but please be aware that the deck has some weathered wear and tear and the stairway carpet has some traffic marks that don't come up from our professional cleaning. We take these things into account when pricing our lovely home and stilll think you'll love your stay.
Interaction with Guests:
We love helping guests make the most of their time in our beautiful area and live very close by. However, we give our guests space unless they ask for help or want to say ‘hi’ in person. Our team will be available throughout your stay and is always happy to provide advice on local restaurants, attractions, and adventures.
