WEATHER, SNOW, AND ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY 1. The property is located at approximately 8,000 feet above sea level and is subject to snow, ice, and severe weather conditions. While not required, 4WD or AWD vehicles may be needed to access the property. CR 306 (Cottonwood Pass) and CR 339 are county-maintained roads and are plowed during high snow accumulation events. However, these roads can still contain ice and caution is advised when traveling on them during winter weather events. 2. We strive to have the driveway plowed when it snows over 6 inches given the availability of the snowplow. Snow events under 6 inches usually melt within a day or two, however ice may remain. 3. The sidewalks to the front entrance and hot tub will be shoveled before your arrival. 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. 5. It is recommended to wear the proper shoes (with good traction) when staying at the property as ice accumulation does occur in the winter months. 6. Always exercise caution when walking on snowy concrete, asphalt, or stone, as ice accumulation can occur.
CHECK OUT 1. Check-Out is at 10:00am. 2. It's very helpful if you start a load of towels. Do not make the beds that were slept in. Do not fold blankets or towels that were used. 3.

Very clean property with amazing views on all sides, particularly of Mt Princeton. Was a great base for my group’s activities. Carrie was incredibly responsive as a host as well. Will definitely keep it in consideration for future trips.
