OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
• Summertime Cooling: Like most Colorado mountain homes, Casa de Cristal does not have central air conditioning. The home was architecturally designed to capture refreshing breezes through open windows and doors. During the 2023 remodel, we added a 2-ton AC unit in the main living room plus portable fans throughout. For most guests, this setup is perfect—but if you're particularly heat-sensitive, consider avoiding the hottest months (July and August). Enjoy the crisp mountain air!
• 4WD/AWD & Snow Tires: Required from November through May due to potential for snow and icy roads.
• Elevation: This property is situated at ~8,500 ft of elevation.
• Age Requirement: Must be 28 years or older to book or insta-book our home.
• Exterior Security Cameras: Two cameras are installed outside for your safety. They do NOT capture any interior spaces.
• Holiday Restrictions: No check-in/check-out on Thanksgiving or Christmas Day. Reservations not meeting these requirements must be adjusted or canceled.
