A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for winter travel since the home is at high elevation and possibly chains. The driveway is plowed during the winter months but may still be icy or snow packed. Please be aware that high altitude sickness can occur at this altitude if you or your guests are not properly prepared. This is alpine living and even in the summer the nights are quite chilly so pack accordingly.

Our home is on a cistern, which means that we have water delivered for your stay. Depending on water use, our delivery company is notified to deliver water during your stay. The company needs no access into the house.
