Summary:
Fall is here and winter snow is on the way. The beauty of October and November combine with low rates, fall foliage a lack of crowds - come on up! For winter adventure, now's the time to reserve your warm & cozy getaway. "2 Dog Lodge" is the perfect cabin for your family and puppos too! Hike, fish, hunt, explore above the tree line, enjoy "the quiet season"... then relax fireside at the cabin. Remember that "winter is coming" and Every season at 2 Dog Lodge offers special memories.
The Space:
Fall colors, cool temps and no crowds... happening NOW. Winter wonderland & all the fun that snow brings to the mountains... coming SOON!
2 Dog Lodge is ideal for small groups and families who want to escape to the mountains and are bringing the fur-babies along for the adventure. Fall and Winter fun along the Ebbetts Pass Scenic Byway is truly endless... whether your goal is maximum relaxation, alpine trail adventure or some high mountain snow fun at Bear Valley, 2 Dog Lodge is the perfect mountain cabin.
Even when the nights are cool and crisp, our deck and yard are set up for your enjoyment. With a gas fire-pit in the yard, gas BBQ on the deck, plenty of extra blankets, and several seating options you can settle in for quiet evenings in the fresh air, throughout fall and early winter months.
Downstairs you'll find a kitchen with everything needed to cook complete meals, plus a comfortable living room & dining setup. There's a bedroom with king bed, walk-in closet and dedicated workspace downstairs, plus full bath and laundry. Upstairs you'll find a spacious bedroom with 2 queen beds, huge closet, porta-crib and dog beds which you can use, plus attached bathroom with shower.
55" smart TVs in the living room and the upstairs bedroom will keep everyone entertained when outdoors adventures wrap up. The Wi-Fi is fast enough to stream or work-from-cabin too.
Access to the cabin is super-easy: level and flat entrance from the county road, plus parking for up to 3 cars just steps from the front porch. We have a small deck with seating and a Charbroiler gas bbq. Patio furniture, Adirondack chairs, a gas fire-pit and a redwood picnic table give you numerous options for how and where to enjoy the property.
**New to the yard: we've added a propane fire-table and a redwood picnic table. Be sure to bring marshmallows for toasting**
Guest Access:
You'll access the cabin with a smart-lock. We'll send you the code and wifi password before you arrive. The entire cabin and yard is yours to enjoy! Keep in mind that you're in the mountains and weather, critters and terrain can surprise you at any time - even in the fenced yard area. Don't leave children or pets unattended, please.
The Neighborhood:
Quiet forested mountain neighborhood at 5000' elevation. Easy access from Hwy 4 east of Dorrington, just minutes away from high alpine adventures year around.
Getting Around:
Parking for the cabin is off-street, we have a level and driveway with easy access from the county road. Plow services throughout the winter help maintain access.
Snow and ice: at 5000' we can get snow and/or freezing temperatures any time between October and May. During the winter it is best to always carry chains and come up in an all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive vehicle with all-season or snow tires.
Other Things to Note:
You'll lose cell service along Hwy 4 most of the way from Murphy's to the cabin. **Be sure to download your check in instructions before you lose service**
House rules will be emailed with your reservation confirmation.
Interaction with Guests:
As hosts we are available (remotely) to provide support or answer questions most days 7am - 8pm. We have local cleaners and support personnel in the event of something seriously wrong and will do our best to remedy any situation that impacts your stay. Generally, the cabin creates a very independent experience for guests who enjoy an escape to the mountains.
