IMPORTANT TO NOTE

This home's water source comes from a well so only use the water from the kitchen sink or refrigerator dispenser for drinking and cooking. The kitchen sink is equipped with a reverse osmosis system and the refrigerator water and ice dispenser contains a double filter, making these sources very safe for drinking.
During the spring (April-mid-June) rainwater and snowmelt runoff in Threemile Creek may cause discoloration of the water. It may have a brown tint due to sediment that has flowed into the well. The water is safe for showering however please use the kitchen water for cooking and drinking.
With groups of 4 or more people, please limit back to back showers, baths, high usage of the dishwasher and washing machine since this home is on a well and does not offer an unlimited water source.
A fence surrounds the front patio and provides safety with the creek being so close, but do be aware when children are staying at the home. Especially during spring time when there is high run-off.
THIS IS A NON SMOKING PROPERTY. The use of tobacco, cannabis or vapor devices is strictly prohibited. Disregarding this Rule may result in a fine.
Travel Protection: We HIGHLY recommend purchasing trip cancellation insurance as there are NO REFUNDS if canceled outside of our cancelation period, regardless of the reason (including illness, flight delays, weather, road conditions, etc.).
Cell coverage cuts out shortly before arrival at the home. Please be aware of this when planning your arrival. WiFi access for calling and streaming is available.
This home does NOT have central air conditioning although there are fans for your comfort. This home stays fairly cool in the summer due to the shaded canyon and cool breeze coming off the creek.
Mosquito repellent is recommended since the home is located right on the creek.
This creekside home is located in the Colorado mountains which is shared with many creatures both great and small. Some of the tiny ones may find their way into the house from time to time, especially when doors are left open. This may include, but is not limited to, ants, box elder beetles, elm seed beetles, flies, wasps, spiders, and on a very rare occasion a snake or a mouse. This home is proactively treated by professionals on a monthly basis and while snakes and mice are rare, the smaller bugs do find their way in despite all our efforts! Please do not book this home if this makes you uncomfortable as refunds will not be given for bug or critter sightings since they are part of our landscape here in the mountains.
The garage and small cabin are not available for guest use.
Please be aware that due to the narrow driveway trailers may be difficult to navigate. If you bring your motorcycles, atvs, snowmobiles etc. DO NOT ride them on the neighborhood road and use them only in designated areas. We want to respect our fellow Three Mile Road Residents and maintain the tranquil nature of our little canyon. Campers are not allowed.
