Questions
Everything you're likely to ask.
And a few things worth knowing before you drive up.
Before you book
Preparing for the high country.
Not fine print — just the realities of a real mountain property at 10,600 feet, so your stay is easy from the moment you arrive.
Elevation
The lodge sits at approximately 10,600 feet. Altitude can cause headaches, fatigue or shortness of breath, especially for the first 24–48 hours. Take it slowly, drink extra water and consider whether high elevation is appropriate for your whole group. Refunds are not issued for altitude-related illness.
Winter driving
AWD or 4WD with snow-rated or winter tires is required November through May. Roads are maintained, but snowpack and ice are normal. Refunds are not provided for weather-related travel issues.
Weather
Mountain weather changes rapidly and can be severe. Snow is possible from September through June, and winter driving demands AWD/4WD with appropriate tires. We do not issue refunds for weather-related travel delays, road conditions or altitude sickness — please plan ahead and consider travel insurance.
Travel insurance
Because mountain weather and high altitude are unpredictable, we strongly recommend travel insurance for trips between November and May or for guests who may be sensitive to elevation. Refunds are not issued for weather, road conditions or altitude sickness.
Cell service
Limited in the neighborhood until you connect to the lodge's Starlink WiFi.
Wildlife
This is an unfenced mountain property with active wildlife. Keep a respectful distance.
Water
The property is served by a private well.
Septic
Please follow septic-safe practices during your stay.
Smoking
No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property.
Outdoor fires
No ember-producing fires. The propane fire pit is provided for evenings outside.
ATVs & firearms
Not permitted on the property.
