We say the WestSide Cottage is "kinda country, right in town" so you may see wildlife on property...deer, fox, raccoon, bobcat, rabbit. Enjoy! PLEASE, if you require central air conditioning, do not book our property. We have a free-standing unit in the living room and large fans in every room. This keeps the house pretty cool however, this is not the same as central AC and you will not be able to turn it down to 62 degrees. Since it gets very cool at night here in Colorado, windows are often opened at night even with central AC. We realize our situation does not meet everyone's needs however and want to be very clear about the situation. We would rather miss your booking than have unhappy guests.
