The Fossil Lodge is nestled in a quiet neighborhood on a little over an acre in the mountains with easy access to fishing and hiking. An hour and a half to skiing, 45 minutes to Colorado Springs, 30 minutes to the historic mining town of Cripple Creek, the S. Platte River’s “Dream Stream” world class angling & fishing, the Crags, Pike’s Peak Highway & plenty of OHV trails nearby. Enjoy an evening outdoors on the deck, wake-up to hot coffee and nature, unwind from the city life. The space Our cabin is conveniently located to all the adventures you can think of - Hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, biking, boating, and fishing. ∙ Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, a 5 minute drive, has been named an International Dark Sky Park and has several trails. ∙ Take a trip to Cripple Creek for gambling or spend the day exploring this historic mining town. ∙ Snowshoe and Cross-country ski at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Mueller State Park, Horsethief Park and Pancake Rocks. ∙ Boat, kayak, tube, and fish at Eleven Mile Canyon Reservoir (you can actually head 10 minutes down the road to Lake George and hike the 17 mile Eleven Mile Canyon Route). ∙ Hike and bike at Mueller State Park. ∙ Dig for and keep your own 34-million year old fossils at the Florissant Fossil Quarry (summer/fall). We have prepared this space so you can have the most relaxing stay after a long day of adventures. Soak up the Colorado sunshine relaxing on the deck. Cozy up by the easy-to-use pellet stove in the living room or the propane fire pit outdoors. Even enjoy the beautiful starry skies at night. The cabin has a 50-inch RokuTV with streaming capabilities but please note that there is no cable/live TV. Guest access You will have exclusive access to the cabin, driveway for parking for several vehicles (and can even accommodate an RV), and front deck with propane fire pit area. Note that there is no garage access. Other things to note We sit at 8,500 feet in elevation. Please note that the cabin does not have A/C. The days stay fairly cool, even in the summer, and temperatures drop at night - open up a window and enjoy the mountain breeze! The cabin is accessible year round, but the last couple miles are via dirt roads that are well maintained by the county and plowed after snow. Please make sure you are travelling in an appropriate vehicle, especially in the winter. AWD/4WD is highly encouraged. There is plenty of parking and we can also accommodate an RV on the property. 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.
