Quaint Little Duplex - Cute & Cozy

This lovely, quaint little duplex is a 1923 home with the original wood floors and lots of charm. It's one block off of Main Street, walk to downtown, shopping, art galleries, restaurants & a plethora of 420 shops. You will have the entire apartment to yourself. There is off-street parking in the back & a safety hand rail in the shower. TV & wifi are on the premises. If you want to bring your dog, let me know. I request a refundable deposit for pets. The kitchen is well stocked with pots & pans, dishes, glassware & utensils. We have coffee, tea & cocoa, as well as all of the fixin's that people take in their morning Joe. Trinidad sits at about 6,000 feet in altitude. In the summer the temperatures can get up towards the 80's & 90's and during a heat wave, even hotter. There is air conditioning in the front room only. The duplex tends to stay relatively comfortable in the summer, though during a heat wave it may get warm. We have ceiling fans in every room, and by opening the windows at night and closing them during the day it stays fairly comfortable. In the winter it snows in Colorado. Please come prepared for snow if you're staying during the colder months. We have someone who will come and shovel the snow if it's more than a few inches. The duplex stays really cozy in the winter, with the furnace just seeping heat upward from the basement. It's an old coal furnace transformed into gas so there is no blower to dry out your skin. We recommend that you think about trip insurance in the winter. This is a no-smoking home. Any & all smoking needs to be done outside. There are Adirondak style chairs & an ash tray on the front porch and in the back yard. Please dispose of your butts properly. When you check in, Milo, the neighbor's dog may bark. He can bark furiously! But he's on the other side of a wooden fence and he will stop barking as soon as you go into the house. He's really a good dog, he just is protective of his fence. His job is to bark when people are around. You may also see some wildlife in town. In and around Trinidad there are raccoons, possums, deer, turkeys, and bears. Bears are known to dig around garbage cans for food. We've only had one guest mention that they've seen a bear around. If you encounter a bear, they are usually way more afraid of you than you are of them. Make yourself big. Back away slowly. Do not ever let a bear feel cornered. And just as a heads-up, they smell a lot like a skunk. So you will probably smell them before you see them.
