We hope you will enjoy our cozy log cabin located in Nathrop, CO between Mt. Antero and Mt. Princeton and the Chalk Cliffs. It is 3 miles West of Mt. Princeton Resort. The old mining (ghost) town of St. Elmo is just 8 miles further up the road.
The Antero Garden Inn was built in 2016 and is a one bedroom ground level apartment. The original cabin was built in 1962. We have owned and loved the cabin since 1995.
The Inn has: Modern electricity, modern plumbing, one bedroom. Propane heat is controlled by the upstairs guests. If you’re warm, close vents. If you’re chilly, you have an electric space heater (that looks like a cute fireplace) that can heat the entire apartment.
Supplies include pots, pans, plates, utensils, hot water kettle, some basic baking supplies, coffee pot, wok, conventional oven, refrigerator, toaster, outdoor table & chairs, one room humidifier, dishwasher. We have basic spices, TP, paper towels, dishes/glasses/utensils for 2, some tea/coffee, plastic bags. There is always a chance these things may run out so it is suggested you bring back up supplies.
Beds: 1 queen bed in a room with a sliding barn door for privacy, 1 twin futon with bedding & towels.
Bathroom: Shower stall, 1 toilet in a water closet, blow drier
Septic system-only toilet paper in toilet please, all else in garbage. No garbage disposal so please wipe plates into garbage before washing dishes.
Front concrete patio: outdoor living space separate from upstairs deck. We plan to get a little grill and outdoor fire pit…hoping for 2018.
Suggestions: Slippers (bare floors), bathing suits (Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, Cottonwood Hot Springs, Salida Hot Springs, or Joyful Journey), flip flops, sun screen, tick/bug spray, etc. If you use up or break anything, please let us know (&/or replace it). If you like, please water the flower beds out front. There’s lots of weeds but they’re pretty too.
PLEASE no smoking and no pets (unless special permission has been given). At least one adult (over 21) must be staying and responsible. Cellular phones do not work at the cabin. We have a land phone, 719-395-2145 where you can be reached. It cannot make long distance calls (which includes the front range) without a calling card. Instructions are in the three ring binder & posted by the phone.
Cautions: Check yourself for ticks before coming into the cabin in the Spring. Bring closed toed shoes as the area is full of cactus. Also, be careful with garbage and do not leave food outside OR the door open as there are bears, coyote, mountain lions in the area. Deer mice in the area carry Hunta disease. Use the cabin at your own risk, we are not responsible for personal injuries.
