Check-In Time
4:00pm MST, unless otherwise agreed upon.
Early Check-Ins are available on a case by case basis with varied fees based on the requested time.
Gaining Access
ACCESS:
You will access the unit through the front door. A lockbox is attached to the home next to the front door. To open the lock box rotate the number wheels to align to the access code that was emailed to you. Inside the lockbox is a key fob that unlocks the front door by holding the fob next to the black box.
⚠️ Do not remove or detach the key fob. It is secured with a cable, and damage or removal will result in a charge. This also ensures guests can easily access the home at all times.
Once inside, you’ll find a YELLOW lanyard with a keycard. This keycard may be used throughout your stay to access the unit and all resort clubhouse amenities.
⚠️ *** IMPORTANT – DO NOT LOCK THE DEADBOLT *** ⚠️
Locking the deadbolt will completely disable the key fobs & key cards and will result in a lockout. If you see the lock flashing red, the deadbolt is most likely engaged. Please ensure the deadbolt remains unlocked at all times to avoid being locked out.
Heating & Cooling
Each room has its own King electric baseboard heater with an individual thermostat.
These thermostats are a little different from modern heating systems, so please follow the instructions below to keep the home comfortable while helping us conserve energy.
How They Work
You may increase the thermostat above 50°F if you need to warm the room.
Once the room reaches a comfortable temperature, please turn the thermostat back down to 50°F or below.
Leaving the thermostat set above 50°F for extended periods causes the heater to run continuously, which can overheat the room and significantly increase energy usage.
Before Leaving the Home
When you’re heading out for the day or checking out, please turn each thermostat down to 50°F or below.
No Air Conditioning
This mountain home does not have air conditioning, which is common in the area due to the cool alpine climate.
For warmer days:
- 🌲 Open the windows to enjoy the fresh mountain air.
- 💨 Use the ceiling fans to circulate cool air throughout the home.
Thank you for helping us keep the home comfortable for everyone!
Thermostat Instructions (IMPORTANT)
These thermostats are old-school and a little tricky - please follow these steps carefully! There is a thermostat in every room for your comfort.
How They Work:
- If you set the thermostat above 50°F, it will keep running nonstop.
- That means the heater never shuts off, the house gets way too hot, and it creates a MASSIVE electric bill for us.
So please help us out by using them carefully!
Temperature Guidelines:
- Do not ever turn the thermostat above 50°F.
- If you need it warmer for comfort, that’s totally fine - just don’t leave it set high for long periods.
Leaving it high makes the heater run nonstop and overheats the room.
When You Leave:
- Leaving a room? Turn the thermostat below 45°F.
- Leaving the house? Turn it below 45°F.
Important Reminder:
- Never let the heater run continuously.
- These thermostats don’t automatically shut off - they’ll just keep going and going.
- This makes the home too warm for you and runs up our electric bill.
In short:
Keep it comfy, but please don’t set it above 50°F, and turn it down below 50°F when you’re not in the room or leaving the house.
Thank you so much for helping us take care of the home and the planet 💚
