WHAT ARE GUESTS SAYING -------------------------------------------------------
"Our family had such a fantastic stay at Jason’s place! The home itself is beautiful, tucked away in the woods with a lovely deck overlooking the trees and mountains. There are so many thoughtful touches throughout the house, and so many games! Both indoor (which the kids loved) as well as horse shoe and cornhole. Perfect getaway!" ................... Jennie, Denver, CO - July 2025
"If you are looking for a perfect getaway, you found it. I’ve stayed in over 70 vacation homes, and this place in Fairplay’s Valley of the Sun stands out as one of the best. The mountain views were incredible, and the home itself was exceptionally well thought out. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked, with attention to detail throughout. If you’re traveling with kids, it’s especially ideal—there were board games, puzzles, arcade games, mini basketball, hockey foosball, and shuffleboard. We have a 1-year-old and the hosts provided a highchair, baby gate, changing pad, and plenty of toys. The outdoor space was quiet and very private, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Jason was responsive and helpful whenever I had questions, which made the stay even smoother. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-equipped base away from the crowds of more commercial mountain towns, this is a great option. We will definitely be back." .............Jordan, Evansville, IN - May 2025

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE ----------------------------------------------------------
4x4 VEHICLES: 4WD vehicles are mandatory from October through May for safe access to the property. While the roads to access the lodge are plowed and maintained, the driveway is flat and the home is one of the easier properties to access in the neighborhood. Please be prepared as you will encounter ice and snowpack. The road to the cabin is bumpy. Refunds will not be issued for inclement weather; consider travel insurance for coverage.
SUMMER MONTHS: Important to note that mountain homes in the Fairplay, Colorado area do not have central air conditioning. With the average nightly temperature between 45-55 degrees, Starry Pines can easily be kept cool by opening windows to let the cool mountain air in and running ceiling fans throughout the home.
ALTITUDE: Starry Pines sits at an elevation 11,000+ feet. Please ensure the altitude and weather conditions are suitable for you and your group before booking. There may even be snow on the grounds as early as September and as late as June.
WEATHER/CANCELATIONS: We cannot predict or control weather, so we don't offer refunds due to inclement weather. Please keep this in mind when booking, and if this is a concern we recommend purchasing travel insurance.
NO SMOKING: For the comfort of all our guests, smoking is not allowed inside the property. If you must smoke, please do so outside and dispose of cigarette butts in the designated outside containers around the property.
SECURITY & SAFETY: For the safety of all our guests, we have a ring camera at the front door overlooking the driveway and a camera on the side of the home overlooking the side of the property where our outdoor games and woodshed is located.
FUTURE BOOKING WINDOWS: If you'd like to book beyond our booking window, please send us a message and we will provide you with a quote for your dates.
