The cabin gets its water from a well that has been tested safe for drinking. We also provide a Berkey Water Filter system that does an excellent job of providing good-tasting, distilled drinking water. However, you may prefer to bring additional drinking water.
No A/C. However, our nights are cool even during the warmest days. All sleeping areas are equipped with ceiling fans and cool down quickly with open windows, the setting sun, and our fresh mountain breeze. A/C is not the norm and seldom needed as Estes Park is a mild mountain climate and during the summer we are generally 10-20 degrees cooler than the nearby lower elevation towns of Colorado. Typically night temps are in the 50s (or 40s) in the summer months.
Maximum guests = 4 guests + 2 dogs. *All reservations need to reflect the accurate amount of guests arriving including pets - if you click in the "travelers" or "guests" box you can update...pet fee will be included when reflected in the guest count.*
