GETTING AROUND
You are in the pines south of Highway 24, between Woodland Park and Divide.
- 20 min: Woodland Park for Safeway, Natural Grocers, Walmart, coffee and two breweries
- 35 min: Pikes Peak Highway (drive to 14,115 ft)
- 35 min: Mueller State Park (55 miles of trails, elk, fall aspens)
- 35 min: Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument
- 30 min: Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center
- 30 min: Manitou Lake (fishing, picnics, easy trail)
- 45 min: Manitou Incline and the Pikes Peak Cog Railway
- 50 min: Garden of the Gods and Colorado Springs
- 55 min: Cripple Creek casinos

SEASONS
- Memorial Day to Labor Day: wildflowers, hummingbirds on the deck, afternoon storms
- Late September into October: aspen gold at Mueller State Park and on the drive to the Crags
- December: ski day trips to Breckenridge, hot tub nights with snow falling around you
- February and March: the real snow months, sledding in the yard and snowshoeing close by

GOOD TO KNOW
- 4WD or AWD required all year. The last 2 miles are unpaved mountain road and a regular sedan will not make it.
- A volunteer HOA group plows the road, not the county. Plan a slower morning after a storm.
- 9,120 ft elevation. Drink more water than you think you need and take the first day easy.
- Cell service is spotty on the way in, so download directions first. On the house WiFi, calls work fine.
- Three levels of stairs, with bedrooms on every floor.
- The wood stove is off limits under county rules and the grill is electric only. No charcoal or propane grills.
- Well water, not city water.
- Parking in the driveway and the right garage bay (the left door does not open).
- Dogs: 2 max, up to 75 lbs each. The dog run is small, built for bathroom breaks, not a big yard.
- Self check-in with a smart lock. Your door code arrives before you do. The digital house manual covers the hot tub, sauna, WiFi, game room and the best route in.

HOUSE RULES
- No parties or events
- No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property, inside or out
- No open flames, candles or fireworks
- Registered guests and registered dogs only
- Quiet hours 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM
- Please do not rearrange the furniture
- Breaking the party or smoking rules means a $1,500 fine and immediate removal
