Tennessee Creek Rd is part of the Leadville 100 race course (road does remain open during the races). During winter the same section of road are groomed snowmobile trails, so you can ski in or snowmobile in to the cabin.
Bring your mountain bike, ATV/UTV, snowmobile, skis or snowboard to enjoy year round excitement!
Blankets, bed linens, towels and pillows provided for guests comfort and convenience. (Summer months only! Winter months guests need to provide their own bedding & pillows i.e. sleeping bag, as cleaning services do not have access. No cleaning fee will be charged during winter months and guests are asked to leave the cabin in clean and ready to use condition for future guests)
Cooking pots & pans, cooking utensils, 1 burner butane stove, charcoal smoker grill (bring your own charcoal), wood burning stove and fire pit are provided for cooking.
❄ Winter Vehicle Access Disclaimer
Tennessee Creek Road typically becomes impassable to wheeled vehicles between Halloween and Thanksgiving and generally remains closed until Memorial Day. Depending on snowfall, this may occur earlier or later in the season.
During times when the road is snow-covered and impassable, guests may access the cabin only by snowshoe, backcountry skis, or snowmobile. A public parking lot, which is plowed and maintained throughout the winter, is available for guest parking before using these alternative methods of access.
Trail Conditions: About a 2-mile stretch of Tennessee Creek Road is groomed during winter for skiing and snowmobiling up to Forest Road 103. Beyond that point, the road is ungroomed and may have deep powder or snow drifts, making travel more challenging.
Water: Running water is not available during the winter months, as water storage is winterized. Guests must either bring their own water or melt, filter, and boil snow for use at the cabin.
Power: In heavy snow conditions, solar panels may become covered. If this occurs, the cabin could be without power until cleared.
Heat: Firewood is stocked on the cabin porch for easy access to heat the cabin with the wood stove.
We recommend guests prepare for a true backcountry winter experience when booking during these months.
