PET FRIENDLY: This is a pet-friendly listing for up to two pets. Pets do stay free at our cabin. All dogs must remain leashed - our neighbors have chickens and goats and there is a leash law in Teller County! Please be sure to clean up after your pet outside and try your best to not allow them on furniture.The Fossil Lodge is a private cabin on a little over an acre. It is perfect for unwinding after long hiking days and is extremely quiet. While the space is private, the cabin is located in a mountain subdivision so neighbors can be seen.
