  • To keep Kutsu Point peaceful, well cared for, and enjoyable for every group, we ask guests to follow a few simple standards:

    • Registered guests only. Day visitors and additional guests must be approved in advance.

    • Respect for quiet and the land. Please observe quiet hours in the evening and treat the home and surrounding acreage with care.

    • No parties or amplified events without approval. Celebrations are welcome when planned, disclosed, and approved ahead of time.

    • Dogs only, with prior approval. A standard $75 pet fee applies. Dogs must be fully housebroken, well-trained, kept off beds and upholstered furniture, and never left unattended unless crated. Please clean up promptly.

    • No smoking indoors. If you smoke outside, use designated areas and dispose of all materials properly.

    • Fire safety is taken seriously. Colorado may not be known for earthquakes or tsunamis, but wildfires are real here. Penalties for disregarding burn restrictions are severe, and a lack of awareness is not an excuse. Please review current Teller County burn status via the QR code in the home and welcome book. Outside fires are permitted only in the designated firepit. Always douse any allowed fire completely with water. Regardless of current burn status, do not start or maintain a fire in windy conditions, especially when winds exceed 10 to 15 mph.

    • Treat the home as you would your own. Report any damage or issues promptly so we can address them quickly.

    • No firearms or fireworks. Recreational firearm use and fireworks are prohibited anywhere on the property.

    • If you have a special request or a unique group setup, reach out before booking. We will help you confirm fit and set expectations clearly.

  • Kutsu Point is true high-country Colorado. A little preparation makes arrival smoother, comfort higher, and the first night calmer.

    Kutsu Point sits at roughly 9,300 feet. If you’re coming from lower elevation:

    • Hydrate early and often starting the day before arrival

    • Keep day one light if possible

    • Limit alcohol the first night

    • Eat a solid dinner and get good sleep
      Many guests say acclimation is the only real adjustment.

    Weather shifts quickly at elevation, even in summer. We recommend packing :

    • Layers (base layer, warm mid-layer, and a windproof outer layer)

    • Warm hat and gloves in shoulder seasons and winter

    • Sturdy shoes for trails

    • Sunscreen and sunglasses (sun is strong at altitude)

    • A refillable water bottle for everyone

    If you can, arrive before dark, especially in winter. The final approach is mountain driving, and conditions can change quickly from mid-September through mid-May. AWD or 4WD is strongly recommended during these months.

    Plan to do a grocery run before you drive up the ridge so you can settle in and truly relax once you arrive. You’ll be within roughly 10 minutes of a small grocery store with basic supplies as well as 20 minutes from several large grocery stores in town.

    Cell service can be inconsistent depending on carrier. We recommend downloading maps ahead of time if you prefer, and then using our written turn-by-turn directions (sent after booking) for the easiest approach.

  • Between mid-September and mid-May, AWD or 4WD is recommended. Mountain weather can change quickly, and we recommend arriving before dark for an easier first approach.

    If you have any questions about weather, road conditions, or whether Kutsu Point is a good fit for your group, message us before booking. We’re happy to advise so you can arrive confident and prepared.

    Snow removal:

    • We monitor conditions and arrange snow clearing and plowing as needed, but timing can vary depending on active snowfall, wind drifts, and local contractor schedules.

    • If snow is actively falling, clearing may occur after the storm slows or ends to ensure the driveway stays passable.

    If there’s a snowstorm or the road is icy:

    • Plan to arrive before dark whenever possible.

    • Drive slowly, leave extra distance, and be prepared for reduced visibility.

    • If conditions are poor, we may recommend adjusting your arrival time for safety.

    • Park thoughtfully to allow space for snow clearing equipment.

  • The drive is scenic and generally straightforward. The final stretch is true mountain country: the last mile of road and our long driveway are gravel and uphill, so plan for slower, steady “country” driving.

    At no time are you driving along the edge of a drop-off.

    In winter, snow conditions matter. Even after roads are plowed, the gravel sections often remain snow-covered, so we recommend a capable vehicle and a calm, unhurried arrival.

  • Kutsu Point has ample on-site parking near the home. When you arrive, please follow the pre-arrival parking instructions and keep vehicles clear of drive paths and the dumpster area so access stays safe for everyone.

    Kutsu Point is designed for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and trucks. RVs, large trailers, and campers are not recommended due to the mountain approach, turning radius, and winter road conditions. If you’re considering bringing anything larger than a standard vehicle, please message us before booking with the vehicle type and length so we can confirm whether it’s a safe fit.

  • Kutsu Point’s marked private trails are one of our guests’ favorite amenities. They’re scenic, fun to explore, and easy to access right from the property. Expect a mix of gentle stretches and a few short, steeper sections, but nothing most families find intimidating, including groups with young kids. Many guests tell us the trails are a highlight of the stay and a big part of what makes Kutsu feel like a true mountain retreat.

  • Self check-in with a Yale keypad smart lock. Your door code and arrival instructions are provided before your stay.

  • We welcome inquiries for intimate gatherings, elopements, small family celebrations, wellness-focused retreats, and creative productions.

    Anything beyond a standard stay requires prior written approval and may include additional fees. Unauthorized events, additional visitors, and commercial filming or photography are not permitted.
