- "We enjoyed our stay" - "Great stay as always ! " - "Very affordable for the area & garage parking- which is wonderful with the weather this time of year! Super clean. Very nice!" - "I liked everything " - "I like that Lady Luck is centrally located " - "April at check-in was amazing. She was fun and upbeat while faced with checking in five people in one party, all paying for individual rooms. It could have been nerve-wracking but she was so fun and friendly. A big shout out to April from all five of us! Unfortunately, the room conditions were not great. The refrigerator barely worked, there is no fan in the bathroom and the room air did not work until the next morning. The entire hotel was unbearably hot and miserable (December 9th with a high of 23 degrees). Other than that, we did have a very enjoyable stay."

- "Loved the hotel. Room was very comfortable. I felt safe. If I were to make a suggestion it would be to explain that the guest must use your room key to make the elevator go to the floor you want. I was in the elevator quite sometime before another guest getting on from the parking lot showed me what was wrong. Also Houseshoe seemed to be the only hotel on the strip that didn’t offer valet during the weekdays. As for casino restaurants, they were very short staffed the week before new years. And refused to let us sit at the bar to have a drink while we waited for a table. We spent the rest of our trip eating across the street at the Monarch hotel and casino."

*5 STAR* I’ve stayed at quite a few places in Colorado and Sarah’s place takes first place by a mile. Felt right at home as soon as I pulled up. The inside is decorated perfect, it’s clean as a whistle and everything is well planned out. The amount of detail put into her place really made our stay pleasant and comforting. The best part of it all was how responsive Sarah was during our stay. She also gave us great recommendations for near by restaurants, stores and activities. I highly recommend her place to all. Can’t wait to come back!"

- "Fabulous property! Loved it! Communication with the property owner was excellent." - "The cabin is beautiful and well appointed! We saw wildlife just outside the door and the hot tub was perfect after a day of Nordic skiing at nearby Eldora. We would love to return during the summer to wet a line in Boulder Creek which is a stone’s throw from the back deck!" - "This cabin is absolutely beautiful and the location was tranquil. It is up in the mountains so 4x4 or all wheel drive is needed in the winter. The hosts thought of everything you might need in the cabin. The beds were comfy and the hot tub was an added bonus!!! The hosts are easy to get in touch and keep you informed of everything during the whole process! We will be back!!!"

This beautiful, mountain home is in the perfect location to enjoy all of the best that Colorado has to offer.

This mountain getaway is perfect in any season for adventurous travelers. Escape the summer heat to the cool mountain air, or soak up the tranquil winter beauty of blanketing snow.

PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT CAREFULLY:
- If you bring more guests than you requested in your reservation you WILL BE evicted with no refund (sorry to be harsh about this but we have to be 100% accurate with our occupancy to maintain our rental permit, and our septic system).
-You will need a 4WD, high clearance vehicle October- May, and a comfort level with mountain driving to get to our remote home. If severe snowstorms are predicted, you will need to park above the house on a parking pad, and walk 50 yards down the driveway. Boots are needed.
-The house is at 9000 feet. Services are not always readily available, we get up to 500 inches of snow, there are no hotel type amenities, and it is a regular home, so things can break or go wrong unexpectedly. Cell phones often don't work, and we don't have cable TV or Netflix- this is a vacation for those who want to unplug. There may be dust on the ceiling fan, or ashes in the fireplace. If these are the kinds of things that will bother you, this is probably not a good fit.

---How far to Golden Gate State Park?

---How far away are the neighbors?
The house looks pretty much straight out towards the mountains. If you stand outside in front of the house, you can see 2 homes farther down the mountain about 150 yards. One is occupied full time, and the other is a vacation home. There is also a home on the other side of our driveway, about 100 yards from our home. There is a house further up the mountain that can be partially seen, depending on where you are standing outside. We have a fairly long drive, and it feels private.
---Can I bring my dog?
Sorry, no pets.
---Will it snow?
Often. Sometimes way more than other times and the driving can be challenging.
---Does the house have air conditioning?
No. Even on the hottest summer days, it cools off at night.
---How are the driving conditions?
It depends on the weather. Our neighborhood has hard packed dirt roads, and we have a paved driveway. One mile of the drive up the mountain is fairly steep. A 4WD high clearance vehicle is definitely needed in winter November-March, but we can have large dumps of snow as early as October and as late as May. Early and late snow melts fast and is easily plowed, but can cause travel delays.
---Does the house have cable, Netflix, TV plug in for more watching options....?
No. Colorado has endless, amazing outdoor options, and we love to wear ourselves out during the day, disconnect from all of the electronics, and enjoy the hot tub, fireplace or fire pit, grilling out, and playing games in the evening. There is a large TV and DVD player for an occasional movie night.
---Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, but we have the basic package with limited data, so plenty for researching local trails, checking email, etc. but not enough for video streaming/movie watching. Again, we go there to unplug.

The constant sound of the creek is soothes the soul. As usual, our hosts had everything ready and well organized - we didn't need a thing. Enjoyed the steam shower and the jacuzzi tub this time! Just a wonderful and relaxing retreat and we will be back! Thanks for everything! K&K"

- "Frankie's Cabin is an adorable, well-renovated cabin in a great spot! The cabin is close to Rollinsville & Nederland for restaurants, gas, & shopping while also being amongst loads of hiking spots. The cabin itself is lovely in the early mornings and at night; so quiet and peaceful. My daughter and I even meditated on the deck. The beds and bedding are comfortable and soft. Though the second bedroom has twin beds, my daughter and her friend slept comfortably. Kelli also left lots of nice touches like portable fans in the bedrooms, pain reliever, games, extra blankets and lots of pillows. She checked in mid-week and brought fresh towels and toilet paper and carried off trash and dirty laundry. I expect to return to the area soon and will definitely look to see if Frankie's Cabin is available!"

Hello & Welcome!

Someplace Beneath the Moon - Black hawk is a cozy bohemian mountain home with all the best vibes. Our intention is to provide you with a comfortable place to stay in a beautiful setting. We welcome respectful friends, couples, families, and travelers to come and enjoy the fresh mountain air. We are located in the heart of Gilpin County at 9,000 ft in elevation, close to beautiful hikes, restaurants, casinos, breweries, and so much more!

The space
Our private mountain getaway is super cozy and very spacious for small groups. The space has two queen beds and two full baths suitable for families, couples, travelers, and friends. Guests have the entire house and property to themselves.

Living area - The living space is full of natural light and is freshly refurnished. There is plenty of comfortable seating for you and your family to enjoy. The two large windows overlook the front porch and the beautiful mountain views of Golden Gate State Park across the street. We have wifi, a bluetooth speaker, and a smart TV with Netflix, Disney +, Prime, and HBO included. Being up in the mountains cell service can be a bit spotty. We do have a Verizon cell booster and both T-Mobile and At&t have spotty reception. Wifi calling works great!

Bedrooms - The two bedrooms with queen beds are suitable for a traveler on the go or an extended stay. Each room offers comfortable bedding, a white noise machine, a steamer, plenty of hangers, large closet, a makeup mirror, and dresser for you to stay organized while being away from home.

Kitchen and Dining - Our large kitchen is fully stocked for cooking and entertaining. We have a dining space off of the living room and a few bar stools in the kitchen that makes the perfect breakfast spot.

Bathrooms - there are two full bathrooms stocked with high quality shampoo, conditioner, and plenty of comfy towels.

We have a beautiful 3 season sunroom off of the master bedroom with big windows that overlook the back deck and our zen water fountain that runs until late fall. The sunroom is perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon tea. On a nice day, which it usually is, you can open the windows and embrace the fresh mountain air while listening to the fountain outside. The back deck offers lots of seating, a grill for cook outs, and two hammocks for you and your friends to enjoy. Our entire back yard is completely fenced in and private. We also have a horse shoe pit located in the front yard!

One of our favorite parts of our space is the hot tub! Its super private and will be ready for you to enjoy when you arrive. The tub is not the newest feature on the property but it's clean, comfortable, and a great way to relax after a long day of enjoying the area! We will have a few robes located in the laundry room along with hot tub towels. Our guest are also more than welcome to use the washer and dryer during your stay.

Our gravel driveway may be considered steep by some but it does not require a 4x4 vehicle and there are plenty of parking spaces available.

As secluded as we are, we are within walking distance to Taggert's convenience & gas located across the street, but not in view from the property. If you're feeling a little adventurous the Underground Liquor Store is also a short quarter mile walk.

Winter at 9,000 ft can start as early as September but doesn't fully set in until November. In the winter months you can expect a snow packed, plowed driveway, two sets of snow shoes, and a hot tub ready for you to enjoy.

Guest access

Other things to note
Our home is located at 9,000 ft in elevation and is usually about 10-15 degrees cooler than the Denver area. The snowy season can start as early as September but usually doesn't go into full swing until November
& December. That being said, Colorado has 300 days of blue skies and sun shine, so any time of the year is beautiful up here in the mountains!

- "Such a cozy spot! Much homier than your average short-term-rental. We enjoyed the area; several great little towns to visit, and numerous opportunities to hike & enjoy the outdoors in close proximity." - "Turn off the patio lights and the stars turn on! Beautifully decorated home. Great place to stay if you don't want to be in the middle of the casino action." - "Great property with plenty of room to relax inside or out. Good location to be away from crowds but get to places like Red Rocks for a concert or hiking nearby trails. Highly recommend."

- "Super clean nicely updated place with more updates on the way. Great location, 45 minutes or less to Estes Park, Golden, Morrison, St Mary's, etc. Hot tub was the cleanest I've ever seen. And the view!!" - "House was clean, and even came with mints o. The pillows. Bed was comfortable and had a nice kitchen. Hot tub is private and you have an amazing view of the mountain range while sitting in it. Highly recommend!" - "My friend and I truly enjoyed staying at this cute cabin in Black Hawk. The home is rustic and very clean. We especially loved the hot tub (and the comfy bathrobes were a nice touch!). The views from the cabin are beautiful. The only drawback is that (while we were staying - mid-August 2024) there was a large backhoe in the yard along with pieces of concrete and some tarps (clearly the owners are doing some work on the outside of the property). So that was an eyesore. But otherwise this place was so charming. "

- "Absolutely beautiful! The cabin was beautiful and had some pretty amazing sites!" - "My wife and I recently stayed here for 4 nights, and we were both very satisfied with the cabin. You can tell a lot of time and money were put into it. Even down to the little decorative details, we couldn't think of a single thing we would change. We didn't need to contact Evolve or any of the other help even once. Everything was in perfect working order. Very clean and tidy. There are a couple of things to note though that aren't specific to the cabin itself. It is located on a lot that is right up against a fairly busy highway. When you are inside, you cannot hear the traffic, but being outside during the day, it is definitely noticeable. It wasn't a huge deal for us, but it definitely takes away from the secluded cabin in the mountains feel when you are outdoors. Another thing to note. If you are staying here, do yourself a favor and make sure you arrive during the day. We made the mistake of staying out at Red Rock for the day and coming here at night, and the drive through the mountains in pitch darkness was terrifying. So many winding roads and couldn't see 10ft in front of us and it even started hailing at one point (in May). During the day though, the driving wasn't as bad, but still a lot of twist and turns and steep grades. Rent yourself a vehicle with 4WD for sure. In Blackhawk itself, there isn't much to do besides outdoorsy things like hiking or going to the casino in town. We originally planned on maybe going to Boulder on a day trip, or down to a hot spring, but honestly, getting up and down out of the mountain was daunting enough to keep us in Blackhawk and the immediate surrounding area. All in all, this is a fantastic cabin that is in immaculate condition. The only gripes we had were more with the location and proximity/accessibility to other things/places we wanted to do. This was more than enough cabin for the two of us, but would be perfect for two couples or a family getaway."

Read on for a complete layout of this beautiful home so you can best plan your trip.

~The First Floor~
Walk up the stairs to the front porch, be sure to turn around, and take in the gorgeous mountain views. Use the keypad (code will be provided) to enter the main floor through the front door.

The main floor features a large open floor plan with a dining room, family room, adorable kitchen, full bathroom, laundry, storage closets, and access to the expansive back deck.

The kitchen is fully equipped with butcher block countertops and all you will need for your stay including a gas stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, air fryer, 12 cup brew coffee pot, knife set, toaster, dishes, glassware, masher, wine/bottle opener, cocktail shaker, baking sheets, pots and pans, cleaning supplies, BBQ tools, muffin tins, dish rack, casserole pans, measuring utensils, mixing bowls, strainer, blender, pitcher, cutting board, Tupperware, grater, veggie peeler, ice cream scoop, silverware, pizza cutter, crockpot, hand mixer, as well as a gas grill on the deck.

Turn the jukebox on to your favorite tunes and enjoy a delicious meal at the large dining room table. Or, use the table to play some of your favorite games.
The open family room is the perfect place to relax after dinner. Log into your favorite streaming app, hop on the comfy couch in front of the smart tv and cozy fireplace and unwind while watching your favorite show. Or, disconnect and read a book while gazing at the stars through the skylight while listening to your favorite music.

When you're ready to go to sleep, the master suite is located on the main floor with a queen bed and an adjoining shared full bathroom.

~The Second Floor~
The second bedroom is located upstairs and is also fitted with a memory foam queen bed and the coolest reading nook you've ever seen.

Also, upstairs is a small half bath which will definitely be one of the smallest and most unique bathrooms ever. Flush, the toilet, and the water comes out of a small faucet on top of the back of the toilet seat. Use it to wash your hands (it's clean). Talk about using all available space.

There is also a desk upstairs perfect for working from home. Although, we hope you do not have to work too much and can enjoy all Colorado has to offer.

One of our favorite features of the house is also located upstairs. We call it meditation station. Sit on the floor pillows and meditate, read a book, or play the guitar all while surrounded by the sweet smell of essential oils. We hope you leave this space feeling rejuvenated.

~Outdoor Space~
The back deck features a brand new hot tub, string lights, an outdoor dining space, Adirondack chairs surrounding the propane fire pit (open fires are not permitted), and a gas grill.

~ Child Amenities~
One high chair and pack and play provided (bring your own sheets and mattress if desired), a few kid's toys and books, and a ball pit/pack and play (must be requested).

~Pet Amenities~
We love having dogs visit the dome and allow one per guest (pet fee $75), but we need to make sure they are safe. Never leave your dog unsupervised at the dome unless the dog is in a crate (which is provided for you). Pick up your dog's poop and dispose of it in the outdoor trash can. Keep your dog on a leash when outside of the fenced-in backyard and be mindful of wildlife. We provide a crate, dog bowls, poop bags, towels for drying their paws, and an extra leash.

~Important to Know~
The dome is professionally cleaned and disinfected in between every guest's stay!

Only AT&T has cell reception at the dome. We hope you will use this as a time to unwind, relax, and reconnect. However, guests will need to access WiFi-enabled calling which is available on most iPhones and Androids.

Our internet is highspeed and plenty capable to allow you to work from home but it has its limitations you could experience some lag/buffering if multiple devices are connected and streaming.

Winter Tips: We have the driveway plowed and try to keep the steps shoveled but due to the frequent and rapid snowstorms, it is possible that the steps will be covered in snow. Feel free to use the show shovels provided and be careful going up the steps. We do not come shovel during your stay.

- "Wonderful views, very quiet and peaceful. The home was newly redone and perfectly polished. Had all the necessities for cooking. Loved spending time on the porch and in the hot tub. Plenty of towels/linens. No real dining table but lots of room at the eat in bar. Only suggestion I can offer is to upgrade the beds to kings 😉 All and all, a lovely mountain escape & would definitely recommend staying here!" - "Weekend stay" - "The property was absolutely stunning. More than enough room for my family of 5 and amenities were great! The lake view was beautiful and little bit of snow we got made it even more wonderful. Scenic drive from Estes Park and short drive to Denver."

Welcome to the Ellsworth Creek Guest Suite!

Nestled off the beaten path between Black Hawk and Nederland at 8,300 feet elevation, this is your base camp for miles of Jeep trails, hiking, biking, and skiing.... or just relaxing in the creekside cabin sauna or around the flagstone patio fire pit.

We are also just 15 minutes from over 25 casinos in the historic towns of Black Hawk and Central City!

No matter your reason for visiting, this rustically modern log home will provide the perfect ambiance to your Rocky Mountain getaway!

***The Space***
Ellsworth Creek Guest Suite is the garden-level guest apartment of Ellsworth Creek Lodge, which may be occupied by other guests.

The Guest Suite has all of its own amenities (kitchen, bath, laundry room, patio, BBQ, private entrance). There is no interior access between the Guest Suite and the main Lodge.

Despite the home's rustic log exterior, the guest suite is very modern.

Both the living room and the bedroom are equipped with 50-inch Roku TVs and have access to Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and Vudu.

Custom beetle-kill pine kitchen with concrete counters, range, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and dish washer.

Dining seating for up to six at the table and bar counter.

The guest suite naturally stays cool (65-70 degrees) even on the hottest summer days. You will not need or miss air conditioning.

Coffee, tea, sugar, dry cereal, and oatmeal are provided.

No need to mess with keys as you will have your own access code for the front door.

****PLEASE NOTE****
The main upstairs lodge may be occupied by other guests. Ceilings were insulated and sound-dampening underlayment was installed under the wood floors upstairs to minimize sound transmission from the main lodge. However, the wood floors and HVAC ducts still conduct noise so expect to hear noise from upstairs. We do ask that all guests respect quiet hours from 9:00 pm to 8:00 am.

****Guest Access****
Gilpin County road maintenance is very good after snow storms. Better than Denver Metro most days. However, winter mountain weather can make roadways challenging at times. The driveway is short but is up hill to get out. Even when roads and the driveway are plowed, snow often compacts creating icy surfaces. Two-wheel drive vehicles may experience difficulty during winter months.

Four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles are typically not necessary but are recommended between November and April due to unpredictable weather and road conditions.

****Neighborhood****
Forest and mountain-side views are all around the property. The adjacent neighbor's property includes a scenic pond that feeds Ellsworth Creek.

Ellsworth Creek runs through the back yard of the property. Typical of mountain streams, water flow can be low in late summer and fall.

Two neighboring homes are visible from this property. Peak to Peak Highway 119 is also visible from the back yard half way up the mountain side.

Conveniently located close, but not too close, to everything the mountains have to offer:

1.0 miles - Ellsworth Gulch Road Trailhead - jeep, hiking, and biking trails
2.1 miles - Town of Rollinsville
2.2 miles - Last Shot Restaurant
2.3 miles - Mid County Liquor Store
4.8 miles - Golden Gate Canyon State Park (hiking, biking, fishing)
6 miles - Town of Nederland (groceries, food, brew pubs, shopping)
7 miles - Eldora Ski Resort
12 miles - Black Hawk and Central City (over 25 casinos, restaurants, historic scenery)
23 miles - Boulder
25 miles - Idaho Springs (rafting, zip lining, hot springs)
26 miles -Golden
33 miles - Red Rocks Amphitheatre
35 miles - Rocky Mountain National Park
45 miles - Denver (Denver Int'l Airport - 61 miles)
49 miles - Loveland Ski Resort
52 miles - Estes park
56 miles - Arapahoe Basin Ski Resort
58 miles - Winter Park Ski Resort
59 miles - Silverthorne (factory outlet stores)
69 miles - Keystone Ski Resort
73 miles - Breckenridge Ski Resort
742 miles - Las Vegas (I'd just go to Black Hawk)

Neighborhood is 1.6 miles off of Peak to Peak Highway 119 down a gravel road.

***Phone and Internet***
Not many cell services work in Gilpin County except AT&T. However, onsite WiFi allows for WiFi calling from most phones.

The home's internet is a 37 Mbps DSL land-line service through Century Link. Service interruptions are very rare as there are no dishes, satellites, cell towers, or portable WiFi devices to worry about. The router is on a battery backup so you should have internet service even in the event of a power outage, which is also very rare.

The property does not have land-line phone service.

- "I had a great time. The place is cozy and in great shape. The property is tranquil and in short distance to so many hiking opportunities. My dog had a blast playing and hiking around the area. Lane and Maren are great hosts. The check-in and out processes was simple. They made our stay wonderful." - "This was just what we needed for our weekend getaway in the mountains :)" - "We loved staying here! My partner and our 6 month old baby stayed here and absolutely loved it. As soon as we arrived to the property there was a duck family in the creek, and then we had frequent mom and baby moose visits, saw many chipmunks, just an abundance of views. The property is deep in the mountains; once off the main road it took 40 minutes to get to the property. It would be 70 degrees in town then 48 degrees at the property, and it just felt really nice. Also, the property was very clean and obviously well kept. Definitely would stay here again!!"

- "Loved the Black Hawk Cabin. Perfect for my wife and I to get some much needed 'chillin' down time'. Black Hawk (city) held no interest or inducements...yet the cabin was perfect for Nederland, Georgetown, Idaho Springs, and leisurely mountain drives!" - "My girlfriend and I had a great time relaxing and spending some quality time together at this cabin. The drive in from Denver was beautiful and the view from the road the cabin is on is amazing! Would definitely consider coming back!! "

Walking through the front door of this cozy and intimate mountain cabin, you’re immediately enveloped by a sense of warmth and charm. To your right is a quaint dining area, perfectly sized for sharing meals or quiet conversations. The dining space flows seamlessly into a fully equipped kitchen, where rustic details and modern conveniences invite you to whip up hearty breakfasts or simple dinners after a day of exploring the mountains.
Straight ahead, the living room welcomes you with its cozy arrangement. A soft couch, which doubles as a pullout bed, is perfectly positioned near a small wood-burning fireplace, casting a gentle glow and adding to the cabin’s snug ambiance. A sliding glass door between the kitchen and living room opens onto a back deck. From here, you’ll step out to take in the crisp mountain air, surrounded by the tranquil rustle of trees. Take a short walk to find a lovely creek running through the property.
Back inside, opposite the sliding glass door, a small yet thoughtfully designed bathroom sits just off the living room. The full bath features a bathtub/shower combo, offering a relaxing soak or a quick rinse before settling in for the evening.
Walking past the living room, you’ll find a tucked-away closet housing a convenient washer and dryer, ideal for longer stays. Beyond this, the hallway leads to two inviting bedrooms.
The bedroom on the right is designed for flexibility and comfort, featuring two full-size beds dressed in soft, mountain-inspired linens. It’s perfect for families with small children or friends traveling together. The bedroom on the left offers a plush queen-size bed, its simple and cozy decor creating the perfect sanctuary for restful nights.
Throughout the cabin, every detail reflects its intimate charm. The small spaces feel purposeful, offering a sense of closeness and warmth. Whether you’re curled up by the fire, enjoying a morning coffee on the deck, or sinking into a comfortable bed after a day of adventure, this cabin feels like a true home away from home—cozy, inviting, and perfectly nestled in the heart of the Colorado mountains.

- "Property was absolutely beautiful and perfect for a place to get away from the grind. The amenities were great and use of them spelled out in the guest book. Best part was the wood burning stove that we used in the evenings as we watched the snow come down on the trees of the mountain side. 20 minutes from Nederland, which is a quaint little town. With restaurants, grocery and outdoors store. Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get away and enjoy Nature. "

4-wheel drive required Oct 1-May 31; medium to high clearance required on vehicles year round. (Steep road=amazing views of the continental divide!)

Permit: STR-22-113

This is a wonderful space for those wanting calm silence among nature. There are dirt roads, wildlife, and no sounds of traffic. The cabin is very secluded but NOT isolated (there are neighbors on the private road.)

Please read all sections carefully before booking to make sure it's the right fit for you :)

Perched on Thorodin Mountain, The Rock House is the perfect spot for meditation, relaxation, silence, and inspiration from the natural world.

The kitchen is stocked with staples such as flour, sugar, spices, oils, condiments, teas, and coffee.

The 8’ wide window showcases Longs Peak, Mt Meeker, and Pagoda Mtn.

-500 sq ft studio with well-utilized space.
-No pets, no fires, and absolutely NO smoking, incense, or vape pens. Colorado catches fire easily... also, we want the cabin to be fresh and smell great for each guest.
-Starlink internet service is extremely fast, and usually tests between 60 and 200 MBPS with around 21 ms of latency. Satellite is heated to keep clear during snowstorms.
-55" Samsung Smart TV. Netflix provided. Other apps available for your login.
-You will be at 9,100’ in elevation, mountainside, on a private road. It’s a 15-20 min drive to get to a store/restaurant/gas station. Bring your groceries/supplies--this a true mountain get-away :)
-Outdoor adventures are all around! Ski, hike, bike, raft, or fish. Or, check out Black Hawk/Central City with over 25 casinos!

WEATHER
-You will be in the Rocky Mountains at 9,100’ in elevation. Weather can be unpredictable, and the winds may be severe.
-The road going up the mountain is VERY steep.
-4-wheel drive is *REQUIRED* Oct 1-May 31st.
-Medium or high-clearance vehicles required year round.
-If you come during the winter, we ask that you have experience driving in the snow. Winter weather can be unpredictable and we want our guests to be safe.
-When storms come, I pay a driver to clear the driveway, however if storms persist you may need to do some shoveling on the steps, walkway, around your car (shovels and salt provided).
-The county maintains the private dirt road, and they plow between 6 am and 11 am, normally, but our road is secondary in importance during big storms.
-The winds often create snow drifts, so you may have to deal with the aftereffects of Rocky Mountain snow/winds during the winter months.

ELEVATION
It's important to note that the higher altitude means thinner air, which can affect your physical well-being. 9,100’ is extremely high elevation! Please be mindful of the potential challenges and exertion that may come with residing at this elevation. If you are coming from sea-level, I recommend you be in decent physical shape. Your body can take up to 3 months to adapt to altitude; it’s not something that happens quickly. You should also drink more water than when at sea level; it’s extremely dry in the Rockies.

INTERNET
-Starklink is extremely fast, but there is no cell service at the cabin (Except for a fleeting AT&T one-bar when the wind blows right 😆)
-You must enable “Wi-Fi Calling” on your phone to make calls or receive texts.
-“Wi-Fi Calling” is a separate setting on your phone. It is usually turned off by default.
-You may need to add “Wi-Fi Calling” to your phone’s plan.
-Pro-tip: turn on Airplane Mode to force your phone to use Wi-Fi Calling.

It’s so cozy and has everything you need. There were so many details that made it fantastic- coffee, robes, plenty of towels, etc. We loved relaxing in the hot tub with beautiful Mountain views. We found a beautiful hike a short drive away and there’s a cute town fairly close that has a market and brewery.

The cabin was designed for you to get away, relax, and enjoy some peace and quiet. The 700 sq/ft cabin may be small, but it is mighty!

- "The little cabin was amazing! Note to anyone staying here: everything is 30 minutes away, and the establishment closes early. Coming from Texas, we had some learning opportunities. Everyone is so kind! This little cabin is great if you need to recharge or if you need a getaway to get some work done. " - "This is a beautiful cabin, very comfortable. Make sure that you have the access code to get in well before you get there. You will not have any cell phone coverage while in that area until you can use the Wi-Fi at the cabin. Cell phone coverage in the area is spotty at best. Also there's not a lot in the area for groceries or dining out unless you drive to Blackhawk, Central City or Nederland. So you might want to bring some groceries in. We had a few snags with access and Wi-Fi which the hostess promptly helped with. The best part of this place is the deck. We spent a lot of time enjoying the view, the smells of the forest, the hummingbirds. The front door entrance area is not a bad place to sit and enjoy a different view too, getting out of the sun or rain. "
