Any cancellation within 48 hours of booking will result in a full refund with the exception of any credit card processing fees if the reservation is more than 1 week out. If you have to cancel your reservation we recommend doing so as soon as possible, if we are able to open our calendar back up and rebook any days then we will refund you for those days. For this reason we HIGHLY recommend you get travel insurance.

Important things to note! You really do need 4WD with snow tires when there is snow on the road. There's a chance of snow from late September all the way into May so please do not take the chance. Our house is at 9750 feet elevation, it is typically 5-8 degrees colder at the house compared to the actual town of Idaho Springs. Also, breathing at this altitude can be difficult at times, you will definitely find yourself getting winded quicker. Make sure you drink plenty of water! If there's a fire ban going on there cannot be any open flames outside. If neighbors see smoke you can expect the fire department to be called and fines issued! While the house does have a fairly new A/C and furnace, we primarily rely on the wood stove to heat the main area of the house and a new propane wall heater to heat the other side of the house in the winter. Fire wood will be provided! If you run out please grab some more from the stacks outside and bring it in. You can't miss it. It is extremely important that you do not mess with any of the mechanical areas of the house - if you don't know what it is please don't touch it! Please remember that the house is completely off grid, so kindly ask to be mindful of the water and power consumption. Due to the size of the house we have 2 different internet providers and 2 different wireless Networks. Each one generally serves one side of the house each. Both are reasonably fast at between 50 - 100 Mbps download speeds. But due to our location it isn't uncommon for one of the Networks to go down at times. We work from home full time and haven't had any issues in our time at the house because there's usually always at least 1 Network available to work off of. At our cabin, we take the comfort and safety of our guests very seriously. We want to assure you that we do everything in our power to maintain a pest-free environment. Prior to your arrival, we take proactive steps by using non-toxic and pet-safe chemicals to spray the immediate area around the house. This helps create a barrier and minimizes the likelihood of pests making their way inside. However, as with any natural setting, we acknowledge that sometimes, despite our best efforts, a few bugs or critters may find their way into the cabin. We want to be transparent about this possibility, so you can feel comfortable during your stay. If you do happen to spot any insects or pests inside the cabin, we kindly request that you inform us immediately. Rest assured, should you encounter any such situation, our response will be swift and efficient. We have a contracted pest control service on call, ready to address any pest-related concerns that may arise. They are experienced professionals who will promptly handle the situation while ensuring the least disruption to your vacation.
