We are here for you during your stay but our level of interaction is up to you. We are only a phone call or message away. You will be able to self check-in upon arrival and self check-out upon departure.
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.
Located between Denver and Colorado Springs on Highway I-25, Larkspur is a quaint town of less than 200 residents. It's famous for the Colorado Renaissance Festival, which takes place every summer. Larkspur is also home to the headquarters building of Universal Co-Masonry and is committed to preserving the natural environment unique to the area.
Established in 1871, Larkspur's post office was named after the larkspur flower. The town was incorporated in 1979 and has a vision statement of fostering a government of integrity that responds to its people, directing growth within small town values, providing community facilities and activities for all ages.

Public transportation is extremely limited in this area. To conveniently get around, we recommend renting a car or utilizing ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft.
INTERNET/CELLPHONE SERVICE & COVERAGE:
You are in a remote area and that means some providers will have issues accessing service on their phones. 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. However, we have strong Wi-Fi to connect to at the property.
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 properties 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 home.
Events are subject to approval. Please note event fees will apply.
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.
