★★★★★ "The view is out of this world — as the property is built on the side of a mountain with completely unobstructed views of the mountain range." - Lori
LAUNDRY: Washer and Dryer + Detergent pods are provided.
HEATING & COOLING: You’ll stay cozy with our Nest smart thermostat. Like most mountain homes, we do not have AC. At 9,000 feet we are generally 20 degrees cooler than Denver. Even as a newer build, AC wasn't installed because it's generally not needed.
TOILETRIES: Premium toiletries provided (shampoo, conditioner, body wash)
TECH: Bring your work if you must - it’s the ultimate getaway setting for the remote work lifestyle, and you’ll stay connected with our high speed wifi (60 Mbps). Foldup desk available if you need to take a private work Zoom.
Important notes:
-Only registered guests are allowed on the property without prior permission.
--Quiet hours are 9pm-7am in our peaceful, residential neighborhood. Our property is perfect for you if you enjoy the serenity and quiet of the mountains, amazing views, and dark nights with lots of stars. Noise carries around the mountain so if you're looking to make a lot of noise or get rowdy, this property is not a good fit for you. Out of respect to our neighbors, Stone Peak Lodge utilizes NoiseAware(TM) technology which records decibel levels on the property. Thanks for respecting our wonderful neighbors and our community!
-You can park a maximum of three cars in our driveway. Driveway sits flat peak. A AWD/4WD wheel drive is not necessary to reach our cabin (we drive a non-AWD/4WD sedan to get there).
-No gatherings or parties.
-Note that there is absolutely no smoking inside AND/OR outside the house or anywhere on the property (due to high wildfire risk). Any sort of smoking will result in a $500 fee and immediate removal from the property.
-Our cabin is a 15 minute winding, scenic drive up through National Park land (that's how we get the views and the peaceful no highway noise vibes), so some guests like to stop for supplies before making their way up the mountain.
-One side of our backyard and one side of the lower patio has a severe drop-off. Great for privacy, but could be a safety issue for young children!
-Not all furniture is child-safed (secured to the wall).
-The backyard Fire Pit and BBQ grill run on propane. Absolutely no wood burning or charcoal burning anywhere on the property or on the mountain due to wildfire risk.
-Well behaved dogs welcomed for an additional fee (make sure to add in a pet when you request to book) Undeclared pets will incur an additional $250 fee.
-Must be at least 27 years of age to book.
-Our (relatively short) driveway is professionally plowed only if there is more than 3-5 inches of snow.
- All weather or snow tires are required if there is snow or ice on the ground. (These should come standard on any vehicle rented in Colorado during the winter.)(For those driving in from warmer climates - all weather tires are not the same as all season tires. All weather tires have more traction.) The weather in Colorado can be unpredictable. It is possible to have snow and ice as early as October and as late as May (though it is most common to see snow December-March, with episodes of snow in November and April). The roads are well plowed because we're on a school bus line, and fully paved. But the road up is winding with multiple switchbacks, so you will want to drive up and down slowly and at times there may be snow and ice that remains on the road even after plowing.
| Guest access |
Guests have the entire house including the double private backyard decks with mountain views. Several closets are locked for staff use only.
There is a separate detached garage located 20 feet in front of the house that includes a garage guest suite that is not included in this reservation. The garage and garage suite are not included in your reservation. The garage suite could potentially be owner occupied for part of your stay.

| Other things to note |
As required by our insurance, we have a security camera facing the front door and driveway only. There is also a camera inside the garage (the garage is not included in your reservation). If the camera is de-activated, we are required to send someone out immediately to re-activate it. The camera is not monitored but will be actively recording during the guests entire stay.
