Please remember that you’re staying in a house, not a hotel. Please treat the space with respect. If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action ASAP.
INTERNET/CELL PHONE COVERAGE
Most folks have full LTE coverage everywhere on the premises, regardless of your service provider. You might run into dead zones on your way here.
THE WILDLIFE
There are animals around the premises including many deer, foxes, multiple species of raptors and other birds, armadillos, many rabbits, black bears, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, mountain lions, coyotes and more! You won’t see all of these at the cabin, but if you get out on the trails, you might get lucky...
MOUNTAIN LIVING
1. We are located just shy of 7,000 feet so please drink plenty of water to avoid altitude sickness.
2. Sometimes the wind kicks up to remind us of all the things we cannot control, but it usually settles down again within a few hours. You would be best not to leave belongings outside.
3. Wildlife is somewhat rare but has been known to wander through so please do not leave food outside at night.
4. Be prepared with lots of clothing layers so you can adapt to changing conditions. Storms come and go quickly.
RESPECT
Our home is located in a remote, mountain town. As visitors to the area, please think about your impact on our town and the small surrounding communities. Please respect full-time residents' privacy and solitude. Follow Leave No Trace guidelines when visiting and recreating in the beautiful outdoors, and consider supporting local dining and shopping during your stay.
SMOKING/VAPING
We like to keep our cabins as fresh as the outside alpine air. If you need to smoke or vape, you'll need to step outside to do so. There will be a $600 fine for any smoking inside the cabins
IMPORTANT: Please be aware that the maximum number of guests listed on the property represents the maximum allowed capacity, not the minimum.

We are here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is up to you. We're only a phone call or message away. You will be able to self-check in upon arrival. We are happy to assist via phone or through your booking app before, during, or after your stay.
Once a week, one of our team members will stop by the property to put out the trash cans, replenish our supplies, and/or restock sheets and towels. They will NOT enter the home. They have access to the garage or shed with a code. This day may or may not fall during your stay.
Nestled between Denver and Colorado Springs, you'll find the charming town of Larkspur. With a population of less than two hundred, it may be small, but it packs a big punch.

Surrounded by one million acres of Pike National Forest, visitors can enjoy a range of outdoor activities such as horseback riding, fishing, skiing, and mountain biking. And for those who simply want to bask in the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains, there's no better spot than Larkspur.
Come explore the historic headquarters of Universal Co-Masonry, visit the local community facilities and activities, and experience a town that works together to preserve its natural environment.
