F.A.Q.

  1. How many people does the property accommodate?
    • The house sleeps a total of 10 people in 7 beds.
  2. Is this a house or a condo?
    • Blue Owl Lodge is a private house on more than half an acre of land.
  3. How far are you from the free shuttle?
    • The shuttle is exactly 1 mile away, however, the 1 mile is all hill so it may not be walkable for everyone especially in the winter.
  4. How far are you from the lifts / town?
    • The gondola lift and the free parking lot are exactly 2 miles away, a five minute drive.  The north end of Main Street is 1.8 miles away.  FYI, the “main drag” part of Main Street is 0.8 miles long.  See our location on the map.
  5. Are you on a maintained road?  Do I need four-wheel drive?
    • All roads leading up to the house are city or county maintained and plowed.  The road is paved.  For 5 years, we successfully navigated our way to the house in a front-wheel drive minivan without incident.
  6. How big is the driveway?
    • During the winter, when snow takes up a lot of space, the driveway can accommodate up to 6 cars.
  7. Do you allow pets?
    • We do not allow pets.
  8. Do you allow smoking?
    • There is no smoking in the house, but we provide an ash tray outside.
  9. What time is check-in?
    • Check-in is 4:00 PM Mountain Time.
  10. Can I check in early?
    • If early check-in is available we will let you know the morning of your arrival, otherwise you are welcome to purchase an additional night to guarantee early check-in.
  11. What time is check-out?
    • Check-out is 10:00 AM Mountain Time.
  12. Can I check out late?
    • We cannot allow late check-out.  It takes our cleaning service a full 6 hours to dust, vacuum, mop, scrub, clean, wash, and prepare the house for the next guest. Tenants that wish to check-out late can purchase an extra night.
  13. Do you provide firewood?
    • Yes, we provide firewood.
  14. Do you offer discounts?
    • Standard discounts are built into the listed rates.  Other discounts are available as advertised.
  15. Is there a garage?
    • This is not a garage.
  16. Is the house handicap / elderly accessible?
    • The house is not considered handicap accessible and although there is a queen bed on the first floor, elderly persons may have trouble ascending the staircase to the second floor where both showers are located.  Additionally, the high-quality mattresses used in Blue Owl Lodge can prove to be too high for some elderly persons to get in and out of.
  17. How can I book the house?
    • Simply use our contact form to let us know which nights you would like, and the makeup of your party, and we can send you a Short Term Rental Agreement along with instructions.  If you don’t have easy access to a scanner or FAX machine, we can utilize a service that allows you to electronically sign the Rental Agreement.
  18. Are there woods, a yard, or stream for my kids to play in?
    • The house is located on 0.6 acres, the majority of which is taken up by the back yard.  There is a large, undeveloped wooded area about 300 feet north of the house and the area further up the road and to the east is also undeveloped. The nearest stream is about 1 mile away.
