Good to know

The Guest House is a quiet 1BR casita with an additional open loft, set on the same four‑acre property and just steps from a private gate into Canyons of the Ancients. It’s a cozy home base for hikers and stargazers—walk straight to trails, then settle in with big‑sky views and true dark‑sky nights. Inside you’ll find a king bedroom, a queen in the open loft, a comfortable living room, and a full kitchen with everything you need for simple meals. Fast Starlink Wi‑Fi keeps work and streaming smooth. Enjoy morning coffee on the porch and unbroken stars after sunset. When the Main House is booked by another party, outdoor areas and the trail gate are shared; for exclusive use of the property and both homes, choose our “Two Homes” listing.

Other Details to Note

Sleeping Loft: Please note that the sleeping loft is a semi-private space accessible by a ladder and does not have a door. It's a cozy spot perfect for kids or adventurous adults!

There's no need to strip beds, do laundry, run the dishwasher, or take out the trash—we'll handle it all. Work & Stream with Ease: The guesthouse is equipped with high-speed Starlink internet for remote work or streaming. About Our Well Water: Our guesthouse is serviced by a deep well. The water is perfectly safe and extensively filtered. Due to natural minerals, you may notice a different taste. We also provide a Brita pitcher and bottled water.

Awesome spot to relax and get away with access to unique hiking. The guesthouse was great for our small family, wish we’d stayed a few days longer! It is a ways out of town, ideal as an escape / retreat to slow down and enjoy. Hosts were super attentive and great communicators.
