the barrel steam sauna truly sets this place apart from all the rest It's easy to use and allows you to sauna bathe in the traditional Finnish way by pouring water onto heated rocks to create steam.

road noise:
the chalet is located up the mountain from i-285, which is a plowed, well-maintained highway to get you safely and easily exploring year round The home is private and secluded on 3.5 acres. I-285 cannot be seen from the property, but sometimes traffic can be heard. Depending on the weather and traffic (especially busy holiday weekends) the sounds from the road will vary. If you're expecting absolute silence and total seclusion, this may not be the place for you.
rocky mountain bucket list:
upon booking, you will receive our website that we created for guests filled with day-trip itineraries, recommendations on places to visit, things to do and see, places to hike/snowshoe, and local places to eat and drink It includes a map with categories and distances from the chalet to help plan your trip!

guanella pass:
the hygge chalet is just a couple minutes from guanella pass, which provides an incredible mountain drive of spectacular views, otherworldly landscapes at 12,000 feet, bighorn sheep, winding streams, waterfalls, lakes, and access to endless hiking If you drive the full pass, it takes you to a cute mountain town, Georgetown, and other neat places along the I-70 corridor. Guanella Pass is a Scenic Byway and is one of the most sought-after locations for aspen leaf peeping in fall. Guanella Pass is a very popular place to hike in the fall and summer, plan to arrive early on weekends to get parking for your favorite trail, especially if you're going to tackle a 14er such as Mount Bierstadt or Mount Blue Sky. About 7 miles up the pass, it will close for through traffic in snowy months (late-Nov to late-May) but you can still access many trails year round up until the closure point and hike/snowshoe beyond that point.
hot springs:
going over kenosha pass takes you to south park (yes, the town from the tv show), buena vista, salida, etc which is an area loaded with things to do and see all year round, including 3 exceptional natural hot springs!
exploring and adventures:
the cabin is close to stunning hikes of various difficulties, world-class fishing, adventure activities (zip-line, high ropes course, whitewater rafting, etc), cultural and historical activities (ghost towns, mining for gold, dinosaur fossils, etc.), surreal aspen leaf peeping in the fall, horseback riding, ATV, train rides, sleigh rides, snowshoeing/snowmobiling in winter, and cute mountain towns to explore with wonderful small businesses to support.
dining:
there are several cafes and restaurants nearby where you can experience true mountain friendliness Our favorite and the closest (just down the hill) is the Shaggy Sheep. Make sure to stop in and say hello and enjoy the best mountain comfort food. There are many fantastic local breweries, distilleries, wineries, and restaurants in Park County in both directions on I-285.
red rocks:
red rocks amphitheater is just 40 minutes away This is considered one of the best places in the world to see a concert and doing so should be on anyone's bucket list. Even if you can't make a show, the park is well-worth a visit to hike, go to the visitor's center with fantastic music history, and just see the amphitheater and go on stage.
skiing/snowboarding:
the closest ski resort is breckenridge at an hour's drive (and a beautiful one) and is a perfect day trip to ski/snowboard or just hang around in a beautiful ski town (there is a lot to do and see here no matter the time of year) Vail, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Copper Mountain, Eldora, Echo Mountain, Monarch, Winter Park, or Beaver Creek are between 1.25-2 hours. Note travel times are unpredictable in snowy weather.
internet/tv:
our high-speed satellite wifi is fast enough for your remote work or streaming needs By design, there is not a TV in the house since we encourage unplugging for the best hygge experience. Enjoy the vibes of the Hygge Chalet Spotify playlist and great sound on the Marshall speaker, which is controlled by the provided iPad.
elevation:
the a-frame cabin is at 9,000 feet Some people experience minor to severe symptoms from the altitude (headache, sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, etc.). If you are coming from a lower elevation, we recommend giving yourself at least a day to acclimate in the Denver/Boulder area. Staying hydrated and avoiding alcohol will also help prevent these symptoms. The natural bedrock spring water direct from the sink is some of the best water in the US, so please stay hydrated during your time and always have water with you on day trips. Reusable water bottles and hydration powder packets are provided to help guests acclimate and stay hydrated..
