About this property

Eldora Enchantment - Rustic Luxury Cabin

We invite you to the historic & modest Happy Valley Lodge to experience a rustic/luxury stay in our newly renovated 100 yr old log cabin. We are located in the quaint, historic mining community of Eldora, which sits a few miles below the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains. The cabin is nestled in the trees on a private, acre lot and borders Boulder Creek. We're 3 miles from the quirky town of Nederland and are only minutes from The Eldora Mountain Resort, our local ski hill.

The town of Eldora is a small, alpine community sitting at an elevation of 8,700 ft and is the southern gateway into the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area. Our cabin is the perfect place to base out of for many adventures, from back country skiing, snow shoeing, hiking & camping. Down hill ski, snowboard or ski the Nordic Track at the Eldora Mountain Resort, minutes from the cabin. In other seasons fly fish in Boulder Creek, just on the edge of the property, or stroll out your door & take in our scenic neighborhood. The popular Magnolia mountain bike trails are only a few miles from the cabin & the top of Boulder Canyon is a 10-15 minute drive and host to an extensive array of rock climbs and more fishing if desired.

The Happy Valley Lodge is also a great place to just relax, escape the summer heat and take in the beauty & wildness of your surroundings. National Forest surrounds Eldora's small community on all sides & it's not unusual to have moose, deer & foxes walking through the yard.

Explore the small, earthy town of Nederland and it's unique shops & eateries a few miles away. Boulder is an intersting 35 minute drive down scenic, Boulder Canyon with its towering rock walls. Rocky Mountain National Park is about an hour drive and the historic mining towns of Blackhawk & Central City are about 30 minutes away if you want to try your luck at gambling.

Come stay at our cabin and enjoy, relax, and experience the Rocky Mountains.

A Very Hygge Winter Getaway

Our family of 4 truly enjoyed our time in Eldora. We especially liked cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, spending time together by the fire, playing cards at the table, and the drive to the ski hill was nice and short. We found the cabin to be very cozy and charming, the beds were very comfortable, and we appreciated the heated floors in the bathrooms.We hope to return one day.

Great stay, right on the river

An excellent spot and experience. A wonderful cabin with a rustic feel but with full, modern amenities so you get the best of both worlds. Saw hummingbirds, hares, and even a moose.

Lovely Mountain Escape

My family absolutely loved our stay here. There was so much snow, my kids and dog played for hours outside. The inside of the cabin is incredibly warm and welcoming. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all of our meals and the heated floors in the bathrooms were wonderful. Thank you so much for having us in your home, we will certainly be back!

Great stay at Happy Valley

Second time staying at this property. Never disappoints and Roxanne is a wonderful host. The area had received a massive amount of snow (56”) just days before we arrived. Roxanne made sure access to the property wasn’t an issue and her communication, as always, was prompt and thorough. Had a great, relaxing stay. Thanks again, Roxanne….we will be back soon.

Great Location, friendly hosts

Overall experience was fantastic! Great location to Nederland and Eldora Ski Area. The hosts were great and communicated very well. The cabin was just as the pictures showed, rooms were well laid out and the beds and bedding were excellent. Got to see a ton of wildlife around the cabin. We will definitely stay here again.

Serene, beautiful retreat

This property is an absolute gem - quiet, peaceful, beautiful, clean, and well-stocked. Everything we needed and more was provided by the host. We cooked delicious meals in the well-appointed kitchen, enjoyed reading in front of the fireplace (thanks to the generous supply of firewood), slept comfortably, and flyfished in the creek behind the cabin. Nederland is a 5-minute drive away when we needed to do some shopping. The host is responsive and helpful.We will definitely return.

What a wonderful cabin!

This cabin is the best combination of history and renovation. It is so cute and comfortable! And even though it's completely renovated, it still holds its historic charm. The location is unbeatable. We were there to ski, and we just got right in line to get to the parking lot. It feels almost like cheating! Roxanne was wonderful to work with. We will be back!
