Pikes Peak highway is just 25 minutes away and Colorado Springs Airport is a 50 minute drive. World-class skiing at Breckenridge is about an hour and 30 minutes away. Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort is an easy hour and 15 minute drive. We work from home right upstairs. While we strive to be quiet, you may sometimes hear normal signs of life above you. Hosting you is our honor and privilege! We love to meet our guests, yet are respectful of your privacy. We're always available by phone or text to address any needs that may arise—we want you to be delighted with your stay. Our location is remote, so cell service can be weak or non-existent. The Internet service is reliable here, so your phone may work if you can make calls via WiFi. There is also a lot of wildlife here, like deer, bear, and mountain lions. Interacting with wild animals should be avoided. Some folks from hotter climes wonder if there's air-conditioning in the house—no, it's never needed! Our location, just shy of 9,000 feet, simply doesn't have any hot days. The average daytime high temperature in July is around 76ºF. But, just in case, we have fans in the bedrooms and screens on all the windows to let in the cool Rocky Mountain breezes. The funny thing about this altitude is that the sun is very intense—strong enough to even warming you on sunny winter days! We love the climate here and think you will too. Speaking of altitude, we encourage you to study up a bit on the effects of altitude on travelers from sea level before your arrival. Important rules of thumb are to drink way more water than you think you should and save even higher altitude adventures for the tail end of your trip (to give more time for acclimation). Where's the TV? The “Getaway” part of the Rocky Mountain Getaway includes time away from screens. So, we don't supply a TV. Folks come here to enjoy the mountains and all that the Pikes Peak region has to offer—hiking, climbing, skiing, biking, exploring, birding, photographing wildlife and the brilliant pulsating stars in the nighttime sky—and get away from the usual distractions. We have games for you inside the chest in the living room. Our hope is that you will try to unplug a little and keep your mobile screen in your pocket a bit more while you’re here.
