Incredible Mountain Getaway: Secluded Rustic Cabin in Idaho Springs, Colorado, with Views of the Front Range

Description

Welcome to our charming cabin! The living space is an attached studio loft or “mother-in-law” suite complete with a king-size bed and a separate memory foam mattress in the loft area. (NO CHILDREN allowed in loft under any circumstances) The space also includes a kitchenette complete with a microwave, outdoor propane grill, coffee maker, toaster, and bar sink/mini fridge. Pets are allowed as long as they are well-behaved. There is a full private bathroom attached to the space as well.

The caretaker/manager lives in the main home but has their own separate entrance and parking areas. Should you have any issues during your stay, they are available 24/7 for assistance. If you choose to bring your pup/s, there is a 1/4 acre fenced-in yard you and your furry family members are welcome to use, providing they are well-behaved. You’ll have access to our 5 acres of property (seasonal stream below), thousands of acres of National Forest, and hundreds of miles of Forest Service Roads.

The property is 100% off-grid – we do not have electrical power like standard homes! This doesn’t mean we don’t have electricity at all, it just means that we rely on solar power to keep our battery bank charged (educational lessons are available if you want to learn more about off-grid life and/or solar). What this means is that we live a conservative lifestyle in terms of resource use. The home operates similar to a normal home but with a few caveats.

We are very energy conscious – high draw appliances such as hair dryers and curling irons won’t be able to be used unless it’s during the day and sunny. We are 100% solar dependent and have our power through a bank of batteries. If there is no sun or it’s very cloudy, we may have to run the generator during the day but generally limit the generator use to the evening for 2-3 hours max – this is rare and only necessary if we go multiple days without sun. And, we are very water-conscious. We are on a well and have plenty of clean mountain spring water, but part of living off-grid is that our water is stored in a 150-gallon sterile tank. We manually fill the tank as needed – water pressure and temps are like a normal home. You won’t be responsible for filling the water, but we ask that guests just be conservative with usage. Thank you in advance for understanding!
