**Winter Adventurers:
Sapphire Sage is the perfect, reasonably priced, getaway for Winter Park and Granby Ranch skiers. Winter Park Ski resort is only 35 minutes away. Granby Ranch Ski Area is a 20 minute drive for those new to skiing or skiers looking for a more affordable mountain. After skiing your heart out, we are very closer to Hot Sulfur Hot Springs. It is a hot springs open year round perfect for unwinding after skiing. The cabin is located off of a major county road that is plowed so winter accessibility is available as long as the roads are open. Other popular winter activities in the area include snowmobiling, dog sled tours, snowshoeing and snow tubing.
The cabin has a key-less entry lock. A code will be provided upon booking.
Things to note: Because of the cabin's easy access to roads, this cabin will not offer absolute silence and seclusion and may not be the place for you. You will hear highway noises during your stay. In winter, this proximity is appreciated by guests because of the snow. Like most mountain homes in this area, there is also proximity to neighbors.
We recommend having a car to get around during your trip. There is phenomenal hiking, wildlife, skiing, and hot springs all within a 30 minute drive (or less) of the cabin!
If you are traveling during the winter months, November through March, we highly recommend an AWD or 4WD vehicle so that you don't have any issues getting over Berthoud Pass. Winter weather can start as early as October and go as late as May. Please check the weather and plan ahead!
For severe weather, we do have a strict cancellation policy as defined by Airbnb. However, we are sensitive to those traveling in the mountains when the weather is capable of shutting down the roads. If highways are closed due to severe weather, we will provide at minimum a partial refund for the night(s) affected by closed roads. If the highways are open, the remaining nights will still be charged full price. Typically, roads are not closed for more than 24 hours at a time.
There is a $300 deposit for the cabin. It is not charged to you upon booking, only reserved in the case of damage or theft. If something gets damaged or broken, please let us know and we will figure out a solution.
**There are two main routes into Grand Lake if you are coming from the East. The quickest way is to take I-70 to Berthoud Pass. Denver to Grand Lake is a 2 hour drive. The second route, over Trail Ridge Road through RMNP is more scenic and costs $25/car. If you drive from Denver, over Trail Ridge Road and into Grand Lake it is about a 3 hour drive.
**Please note that Trail Ridge Road is closed throughout the winter as most of the road is above treeline. Please visit https://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/road_status.htm to check daily closures of the road.
Please note that if you cancel a booked reservation, and it is within the timeframe for a full refund, you will receive the refund minus the credit card processing fee of 2.9%.
