After 10:30am, the renter will be charged an additional $100 for every 30 minutes they stay at the property until they vacate.

WEATHER, SNOW, AND ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY

However, these roads can still contain ice and caution is advised when traveling on them during winter weather events.

4. A snow shovel and salt are provided at the property. These items are provided for convenience and should be used only on the driveway, entryway, and back patio.

    Great place with amazing views. I wish we could have had a fire either inside or out. Would have been awesome. The hot tub did not get hotter than 104 degrees which made it a “warm tub” instead of a “hot tub”. If you want a hot tub, go to the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs which is very close. Overall, this property is excellent and the host exceptional!!

    Our family of 7 adults and 2 babies loved every moment of our stay in this beautiful home! We enjoyed the huge kitchen for family meals, proximity to hot springs, spacious lay out with fun things like the arcade game, movie theater, and hot tub! We also appreciated that there were separate wings with bedrooms so our babies didn’t disturb each other! Overall it was a an excellent experience!!
