A good place stop for groceries on the way to the a-frame! There's also a liquor store next door and a Natural Grocers.
We do our best to offer spices and oils so you don't have to worry about snagging those. We also have tea and ground coffee from a local coffee shop in Evergreen that should at least get you through a two night stay.

We're fine with it! As long as you don't smoke inside or near open doors, and you are aware that wildfire danger is REAL when you're outside.

On the way to the A
A few fun stops on your way to the cabin.
If you're looking to kill some time before you drive to Bailey, this is a cute stop! Stroll around the lake, shop, or grab coffee at the Muddy Buck and/or a meal at Murphy's Mountain Grill. If you're lucky you might even run into the local elk.

旅行者へのアドバイス
交通アクセス
Renting a car is the best way to visit
Uber/Lyft is super unreliable in the mountains.
必要な持ち物
A few packing recommendations
Any time of year:
-A water bottle is nice for hikes and to stay hydrated, which helps a lot with the elevation.
-Lotion (it's dry here!) + sunscreen
-Swimsuit
Winter: Slippers for walking around the house (keep your feet warm!), wool socks, gloves for cold mornings/brushing snow off the car, etc. Shoes with traction for walking around on snowy days.
Summer: Colorado can get really hot during the day and cool off significantly in the evenings. A light jacket/long-sleeve top is nice to have in the mountains.
