The Rock House:
Indulge in the ultimate retreat: a hot tub in nature, heated tile in bathroom, breathtaking views of Longs Peak from the porch and 8 foot wide window, Starlink Internet, seclusion, serene silence, in a newly-finished 80 year old Rocky Mountain cabin. This cozy sanctuary is modern with a touch of luxury.
Enjoy well-stocked oils/spices/sugar/coffee, and a fully equipped kitchen. Rest on a leather chaise-lounge, wrap up in a soft robe, and try the 1000 sq in pellet smoker for a culinary adventure.
Permit: STR-22-113
This is a wonderful space for those wanting calm silence among nature. There are dirt roads, wildlife, and no sounds of traffic. The cabin is very secluded but NOT isolated (there are neighbors on the private road.)
Please read all sections carefully before booking to make sure it's the right fit for you :)
Perched on Thorodin Mountain, The Rock House is the perfect spot for meditation, relaxation, silence, and inspiration from the natural world.
Your accommodations will feature an outdoor hot tub, a fully-equipped kitchen, a pellet smoker/grill, a well-appointed bathroom with a laundry area and spacious shower, a dedicated office area complete with a comfortable desk and chair, a charming dining bar with stylish barstools, a leather chaise-lounge for relaxation, and a cozy queen-sized bed.
The kitchen is stocked with staples such as flour, sugar, spices, oils, condiments, teas, and coffee.
The 8’ wide window showcases Longs Peak, Mt Meeker, and Pagoda Mtn.
-500 sq ft studio with well-utilized space.
-No pets, no fires, and absolutely NO smoking, incense, or vape pens. Colorado catches fire easily... also, we want the cabin to be fresh and smell great for each guest.
-Starlink internet service is extremely fast, and usually tests between 60 and 200 MBPS with around 21 ms of latency. Satellite is heated to keep clear during snowstorms.
-55" Samsung Smart TV. Netflix provided. Other apps available for your login.
-You will be at 9,100’ in elevation, mountainside, on a private road. It’s a 15-20 min drive to get to a store/restaurant/gas station. Bring your groceries/supplies--this a true mountain get-away :)
-Outdoor adventures are all around! Ski, hike, bike, raft, or fish. Or, check out Black Hawk/Central City with over 25 casinos!
WEATHER
-You will be in the Rocky Mountains at 9,100’ in elevation. Weather can be unpredictable, and the winds may be severe.
-The road going up the mountain is VERY steep.
-4-wheel drive is *REQUIRED* Oct 1-May 31st.
-Medium or high-clearance vehicles required year round.
-If you come during the winter, we ask that you have experience driving in the snow. Winter weather can be unpredictable and we want our guests to be safe.
-When storms come, I pay a driver to clear the driveway, however if storms persist you may need to do some shoveling on the steps, walkway, around your car (shovels and salt provided).
-The county maintains the private dirt road, and they plow between 6 am and 11 am, normally, but our road is secondary in importance during big storms.
-The winds often create snow drifts, so you may have to deal with the aftereffects of Rocky Mountain snow/winds during the winter months.
ELEVATION
It's important to note that the higher altitude means thinner air, which can affect your physical well-being. 9,100’ is extremely high elevation! Please be mindful of the potential challenges and exertion that may come with residing at this elevation. If you are coming from sea-level, I recommend you be in decent physical shape. Your body can take up to 3 months to adapt to altitude; it’s not something that happens quickly. You should also drink more water than when at sea level; it’s extremely dry in the Rockies.
INTERNET
-Starklink is extremely fast, but there is no cell service at the cabin (Except for a fleeting AT&T one-bar when the wind blows right 😆)
-You must enable “Wi-Fi Calling” on your phone to make calls or receive texts.
-“Wi-Fi Calling” is a separate setting on your phone. It is usually turned off by default.
-You may need to add “Wi-Fi Calling” to your phone’s plan.
-Pro-tip: turn on Airplane Mode to force your phone to use Wi-Fi Calling.
