Notes from the host
Red Dog Cabin In Fairplay (Valley of the Sun)
Our family friendly Cabin offers a great stay for all ages, year round. Red Dog Cabin 11k is dog friendly, so bring your best friend (up to 2 dogs) along for the adventure. The family friendly cabin has lots of things to do to keep the kids entertained. The location is near the top of Pennsylvania Mountain at 11,000+ feet above sea level, in the woods with no visible neighbors, for a feeling of solitude. Relax and enjoy nature in a remote location, with just the sounds of nature. Work remotely with the high speed Starlink internet. The cabin is located about 25 miles from Breckenridge and 7 miles to Fairplay. Enjoy this comfortable, inviting and cozy gathering place, in hopes that you will make unforgettable memories at Red Dog Cabin.
Master loft Bedroom: King Bed with ensuite bath. Bedroom 2: Queen Bed. Bedroom 3: two bunks with Full over Full and Twin over Full. Bedroom 4: Queen bedroom with ensuite bathroom.
This 4 bedroom/3 bathroom cabin sleeps up to 8, has an open concept floor plan, which is highlighted by the vaulted beetle kill ceilings, with window views of the mature trees that surround the cabin. The living room area has comfortable sofa to watch the smart TV (log into your accounts) or watch movies on the Blu-ray/DVD player. There are lots of movies to choose from or just relax, while enjoying the gas fireplace and the views. There is island seating with 2 bar stools and a high chair is available. The kitchen has all the essentials for preparing a meal and features stainless steel appliances, gas range, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, spices and coffee pot. Thru a small hallway off the kitchen, is a full bathroom with a tub/shower, a bedroom with a queen bed and a another bedroom with separate full over full and a twin over full bunk beds. The kid friendly bunk room has lots books and games for their enjoyment.
Upstairs in the spacious master loft bedroom, you can work from Red Dog Cabin, in the work station area. Hopefully the beautiful views won't distract you. Or you can curl up with a good book on the couch, play some boards games or watch TV in the sitting area. Wake up in the morning, watching the sun rise thru the pine trees. On a clear night the stars come to life. The master loft bedroom has a king bed with a heated mattress pad and a 4 piece bathroom, with a soaking tub. In the closet, you'll find a highchair and pack n play.
Downstairs, accessed thru the garage, is the 4th bedroom with a queen log pine bed, a heated mattress pad and an ensuite full bathroom. You will enjoy privacy from the rest of the house, in this pet friendly, 2nd master suite. All 3 bathrooms have shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispensers and hair dryers. In the summer, have fun playing Foosball or darts, in the garage game room. Head outside, and challenge each other in a game of corn hole or explore the woods.
There is parking inside the garage for one vehicle, which is very welcomed on those cold, snowy winter days.
Work remotely, with Starlink high speed internet. From a past Gary-"No worries about accessing the internet. Simultaneously, we had 2 adults on separate Zoom calls, 2 more on separate Teams calls, and the children on YouTube streaming Monster Jam." Ari -"The internet is phenomenal.We had 5 adults all working remotely and taking video calls. We had no problems whatsoever."
Kids will love playing outside with over an acre of wooded, secluded forest while the adults relax on the deck or grill on the propane barbecue. The kids will love “to pretend to be Tarzan” on the Ninja line. As the sun sets, in the non snowy months, roast marshmallows in the gas outdoor fire pit, with no worries of fire bans or permits. In the winter, there are sleds for sledding down the driveway or hills, which the kids and even adults, will love. Even though there are nearby neighbors, no other homes are visible from the house, for a feeling of solitude in the woods.
Red Dog Cabin 11k is managed by myself, for a personalized touch. I have over 25 years experience, in hospitality and tourism. This enables me to be an attentive and responsive host, before and during your stay. I truly want you to make unforgettable memories when you stay at Red Dog Cabin.
You have a feeling of seclusion, but just a 7 mile drive to town for shopping and restaurants. The drive to the cabin from Hwy 9, is 4.5 miles on a dirt/gravel road up the spectacular Pennsylvania mountain side.
Red Dog Cabin 11k is the place to make wonderful memories, with your family and friends, so book now to enjoy all that this family and dog friendly cabin has to offer.

Our deck may not be shoveled always in the winter, since access to the house is thru the garage.

Other things to note
PLEASE NOTE: During the snowy (October thru May) months, **You MUST HAVE four-wheeled drive or all wheel drive, with good tires** as you will most likely encounter icy and/or snowy roads in the entire neighborhood. I do have a steep driveway which is great for sledding, but needs an appropriate SUV. Chains are even recommended. It is a bumpy, non paved, 2 lane road for the last 4.5 miles, but it's a beautiful drive thru the woods of Pennsylvania Mountain. The roads in our area are maintained / plowed by the county and that service is not within our control on when they plow. Our snow removal service will plow our driveway whenever there is 5 inches of snow or more. We cannot guarantee at what time they will come. The deck may or may not be shoveled, since access is thru the garage.
The cabin is located at approximately 11,350 feet (3,500 m) so be aware of the altitude. Esp if you have a pre-existing condition that could affect you.
Due to the remote location, please be aware that there is limited cell service. Verizon and Xfinity seem to be the best for service. There will be Wi-Fi at the house so another option to enable the Wi-Fi calling on your cell phone if possible.
Our cabin is in the woods - We do our best to keep out mice, bugs and spiders but it is possible to come across them, even with our exterminator.
Trash day is Tuesday, I will need you to take the trash cans to the street and bring back up when empty. I do discount Monday for that reason-Thanks!
If booking the discounted spring/fall off season rates and it snows, the driveway won't be plowed. I include plows November 15-April 15. You may have to walk up the steep, unplowed driveway, if your vehicle is unable to make it to the top of the driveway. My plow guy may be able to plow at your expense also, if he's available.
