Our Pet Policy:
We ask our guests with pets to please only book our property if you are confident your dog won't damage anything or "go" in the house. Our cleaning service ensures there is no pet fur in the house for the comfort of subsequent guests. On rare occasions they charge additional hours for pet related cleaning. We do not charge a pet fee, but we reserve the right to pass those additional cleaning costs to the guest by withholding from the security deposit.

Note: We only accept payment through the online site where you book the reservation (i.e., VRBO, HomeAway, etc). This is for your protection as well as ours. Thank you for your understanding.

Note: Security Cameras are installed at the cabin monitoring the following areas:
- Inside: Tank room in the basement, for monitoring of water level and flooding. Per VRBO requirements, if you feel uncomfortable with this camera inside the property, you may unplug it. Please plug it back in when you leave.
- Outside: Porch towards front door.
- Outside: Porch looking North towards driveway.
Cameras are for security purposes only, they are password protected and only accessible by hosts. Video recordings are not retained beyond 14 days unless there is an incident.

Why they chose this property

A family cabin near Park City, Utah, inspired us to want to build our own. Plus, we were looking for a place that the whole family could enjoy. We found it in Divide. Completed in 2012, we add improvements to it each year.

What makes this property unique

Besides its quiet comfort, our cabin is uniquely situated to enjoy so much of Colorado. There's something for everyone - from mountain biking, to hiking to touring - and a comfortable place to return to, cook a meal, play a board game, read a book or watch a movie. Perfect for families.
