DUE TO ITS SECLUDED LOCATION, THIS CABIN IS ON ITS OWN WATER TANK, HEATING SYSTEM, AND SEPTIC SYSTEM. WE APPRECIATE ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE RENTERS WHO CONSERVE OUR VALUABLE RESOURCES.
Water conservation
We are a WATER conservation property. A 5,000 gallon tank on the premises provides the cabin its water and is filled by rainwater from a catchment system off the roof as well as by a water truck potable water service when necessary. A series of filters clean the rain and snow melt before it enters the water tank and again before it enters the house. In addition you’ll find a carbon filter on the kitchen sink. If you still are skeptical, feel free to bring your own bottled water.
Heating and cooling systems

The cabin is HEATED by 2 propane gas fireplaces. Again the propane is hauled by truck to the property. Additional standing heaters are provided for cold spells as well. The cabin is NOT AIR CONDITIONED. Air circulates in summer through ceiling fans on the 2nd floor. Additional standing fans are provided for the few days during the summer when it does get a little warm. At close to 7,500 ft. elevation, air conditioning would be only needed a few times a year (hot snaps).
Trash and RECYCLING
There is only 1 TRASH pickup per week, currently on Thursday mornings. The bin will be at the bottom of the driveway so please take your trash down. There is no recycling pickup so if you are local, we would appreciate you taking your recyclables back with you if you live nearby.
