The Little Nell’s Nurturing + Safety Program

- The Pitkin County Board of Public Health announced that effective December 14, 2020, all travelers coming to Pitkin County must complete a Traveler Affidavit prior to arrival. Travelers must receive a negative COVID-19 result within 72 hours of arrival and have been symptom-free for 10 days prior to travel. We ask that you comply with all county requirements so that we provide as safe an environment as possible for all of our guests and employees. This process will rely on honesty and personal responsibility in order to help maintain a healthy community and keep the resort and the towns open. Please visit the Pitkin County website for further details and frequently asked questions.
- Pitkin County has also issued a Public Health Order forbidding personal gatherings of people who don’t live in the same house. This means new lodging reservations for The Little Nell made after December 22 can only be made with your household until further notice.
- If you notice symptoms related to Covid-19 prior to your arrival, please let us know so we may assist with rescheduling your visit.
- If you experience symptoms of Covid-19 during your visit, please let us know so we may assist with finding an appropriate provider to care for you. We would also ask that you avoid all common area of the building and in-person interactions with staff and fellow guests.
