Guest access
We recently finished building this brand new spacious two bedroom, one bath detached three car garage guest house in October 2023. It features a separate entrance and a multiple car parking area. (We even have room for short-term RV parking!) Access to house is keyless- you will access the guest house via a Schlage smart lock using a numerical code. Inside you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and living room with a large picture window overlooking a homestead farm of about 50 acres. It is peaceful, quiet and tranquil. You’ll feel a million miles away but you’ll have all the comforts and conveniences of home. Outside you’ll have access to a fire pit where you can gather under the stars ✨ and a table and chair set for 6. Should you choose to stay in and relax or get out and about, either way you won’t go wrong. Adventure and our beautiful mountains will be awaiting you outside your front door.
Other things to note:
You will have to climb 19 exterior steps to get to the entrance of our guest house. There are no interior steps once you’re inside The Crow’s Nest.

Our internet can occasionally be slow and spotty. (We are in a valley surrounded by mountains- go figure!) Some days it runs well (around 72 mbps) and others not so much. We have a separate and free WiFi for our guest house; you’ll be given the network name and password before you arrive. You’ll need to enable your phone for WiFi calling since cell service can be unreliable where we live.

If you need bike storage, please let us know when you book.

We allow dogs (maximum of 2) as long as they are completely housebroken. Sorry, no cats. You will need to be able to control your pet once on the property as we do not have a fence. The area around The Crow’s Nest is privately owned so we ask that you keep to our immediate area (our front and side yard) and do not allow your dog to roam free without supervision.

If you would like some hiking recommendations, please let us know when you make your reservation- we will be happy to forward you some of our favorites!

We are animal lovers- we have a friendly small (10 Lb) dog, Edie, that lives with us. You may observe her as well as some other wildlife while here- mostly deer, turkey and rabbits.
