The couch in the living pulls out to comfortably sleep two, as well. The upstairs loft can sleep up to four, and children under 5 should be supervised in the loft area as the stairs are attic-like.

Available entertainment includes Apple TV with Netflix access, DVD player along with a DVD collection of all movie genres, and a land line with long distance calling. Or perhaps you'd like to sight see, hike, and explore! There is NO hunting allowed within Forbers Park, meaning there is an abundance of wildlife including bears, elk, deer, prairie dogs, coyotes, turkeys, beavers, and all kinds of birds from hummingbirds to jays and finches. . Hiking trails are splattered along the mountains, including the entrance to the San Isabel National Forest, just a half mile away from our cabin!
