Indulge in the charm of a custom-built tiny house nestled against a grove of Aspens. This 100% solar-powered and self-sustaining retreat is situated on 2 acres, accessible via a scenic 13-mile drive on dirt roads off Hwy 24.
There are two lofts. One has a queen bed and the other has two twin mattresses made of foam that fold in to chairs. They are comfortable.
The kitchen table is flat against the wall and folds down when needed. Turn and pull out the lever on top release the table. This place is brand new and we haven't worked out ideal seating yet. There is a stool under the stairs and the box in the corner was designed to be used as a seat/ottoman. It also has extra sheets and blankets inside.
There is a space to pitch a large tent a hundred feet from the cabin.
We carved out a big circle in the front of the cabin (the observatory). We are working on designing the space but for now it's just a big circle of dirt. Lay out a blanket and bring binoculars or use our telescope (available in the summer only and located in the shed) and stargaze!
Lots of things to do including hiking, paddle boarding, fishing in the summer. Go snow shoeing, rent a Polaris in Woodland Park, and snow mobiling in Buena Vista.
Upon booking, detailed arrival and departure instructions will be sent to you via email on how to use the unique systems in the cabin. Please note, during the months of November through May, guests are advised to bring their own drinking water. There will be no running water during freezing season.A Tiny house but big on comfort. Kids over 12 allowed with caution.
It is completely self sustaining with solar panels bringing power to the hot water tank for the kitchen and bathroom sink as well as the cedar shower (all available in summer months only). The lighting was uniquely designed with cozy ambiance in mind. Fall asleep upstairs in the comfy queen bed with an electric fireplace while your friends or kids get a good night sleep in the lounge loft with 2 separate narrow twin mattresses.
There is a heater in the main area that runs off propane (2 40 lb. tanks on the porch). It heats the entire house quickly. Or, you can make a fire in the wood burning stove but do so at your own risk. The flue is metal and runs straight up to the ceiling next to the staircase banister. It will get piping hot. Use caution and don’t touch it. 😬
In the summer months (June-October), your stay includes 20 gallons of water. The water tank is under the sink. This is plenty for two people for 3 days when used conservatively. Additional water is available for purchase for $20 per 5 gallons. There is a water fill up station next to the fire station in Florissant. *NOTE The cabin is dry beginning November through mid May and will not have running water.
If you’re into stars and planets like me, you can use the telescope and take amazing pictures with your phone! It feels like you’re in a planetarium. Coming summer of 2024. Please take extra care. If anything happens to the telescope or its parts, it’s on you!
Relax under the aspens at the propane fire pit on the porch while you disconnect and stop thinking about work 🤗 Open fires are not allowed at this time because there is no fire pit. Coming summer of 2024.
Bring your favorite vinyl LPs or play one on the many vintage records and games we have in the lounge loft. Bluetooth speaker available for your own music.
Wi-Fi is available and there is a TV in both lofts.
