Location:  Fifteen miles west of Colorado Springs and 5 miles east of Woodland Park off Highway 24 in Green
Mountain Falls, Colorado (map).  Nestled between two other summer cabins on a dirt road.

Linens:  The rates include bed, bathroom and kitchen linens.   Four through six sets of towels will be provided
depending on the number of guests and length of stay.

Maid Service:   We thoroughly clean the cabin prior to your arrival and after your departure.  Rates do not
include daily maid service.  We ask that guests leave everything as they found it for others to enjoy.  Additional
charges may apply to cover any excessive cleaning costs, or unfair wear and tear.       

Kitchenette:  The kitchen is equipped with basic necessities, coffee, and some condiments.  Please clean the
dishes and kitchen prior to departure.

Beds:  The bedroom has a full size bed with a newer plush mattress.  A full size sleeper sofa is located in the
living room/kitchenette area of the cabin.  The sleeper sofa is not recommended for those needing a firm sleep
surface.  Maximum capacity of the cabin is  4 people.   If your planning on having 4 people stay at the cabin,
please check the
floor plan to assure that you'll be comfortable.  The Mariposa is cozy for two guests, but gets
really cozy with 4 guests.      

Bathroom:   The bathroom has a smaller shower and sink with a flushing toilet.  Soap and shampoo are
provided.   

Climate:  The Pikes Peak Region is famous for its mild, dry climate.  With an average of 246 days of sunshine
per year you’ll need sunscreen and a hat.  You’ll also want to drink plenty of water and use moisturizers.   The
Mariposa is at an altitude of 7800 feet, which provides cooler summer weather than lodging at lower elevations in
Colorado Springs.  During June, July, and August average high temperatures at the cabin will normally range
between 70F-85F, while the evening low temperatures will normally fall between 48F-55F.  High temperatures at
the cabin will normally range between 60F-72F in May, September, and October, while the evening low
temperatures will normally drop between 35F-45F.  The temperatures can change quickly, so keep a jacket
handy.

Turn on the small propane heater in the living room and electric heater in the bedroom when you want to warm
things up a bit.  On the few days when it gets warm there’s an evaporative fan that will help cool you off.   Due to
the cooler climate in Green Mountain Falls, the cabin does not have air conditioning.   The cabin occasionally
gets a little warm in late Jun, Jul, and early Aug from 11am - 3pm, but will  start cooling off after 3pm every
evening.

Wildlife:  It's not uncommon to see deer, raccoons, foxes, black bears and other wildlife when you're at the
cabin.   The best way to enjoy the wildlife is to do so with as little disturbance to the animal as possible.   Do not
feed any animals.   Keep all trash secured (see instructions in the cabin).  If you encounter a black bear stay
calm, back away, avoid eye contact, do not shout, walk away slowly.
