About this property
Peaceful Mountain Retreat in Eldora
Nestled in one of the most beautiful locations in the Colorado Rocky mountains, this retreat suits writers, academics, and nature lovers, making a great base for hiking, backpacking, and skiing and a wonderful destination after a busy day in Boulder.
In the summer months, wildflowers abound. Those who are lucky, may see moose, bear, bobcat, and fox from the windows. The Hessie trail starts 1 mile up a dirt road from the house. The house is in a central location for a variety of front range climbing areas including Boulder Canyon which is ~10 minutes drive away.
In the winter, Eldora Mountain Resort nordic and Alpine ski centers are 5 miles up the road. When there is snow pack, you can back country ski, snow shoe, or play in the snow right out the front door. Oct-Dec guests: Please expect radical, unpredictable weather including freezing blowing wind, snow, ice, sun, and 50 degree temperature swings, that you can enjoy from the comfort of a warm home.
We value diversity.
Please contact us if you have accessibility related questions or concerns.
We value sustainability and strive to provide eco-friendly and healthy amenities.
There is NO TV or STEREO, making the house a great choice for guests who are happy with wifi access only (Century Link with example download speeds between 14 and 28 mbps) or who are seeking a tech vacation.
My husband and I live on the property and are likely to be staying in the house next door (~100 yards away) when you are here. We are seeking quiet, respectful guests to share our slice of heaven with. We are happy to help in any way upon request and can offer day trip recommendations to sport climbers, hikers, and skiers.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Heidi Anderson

Chris and I were both born in the bay area, California. We fell in love with Eldora, when we rented a house here in 1989 while Chris was studying physics at CU Boulder. In 1993, we bought the house we had been renting and have been grateful since then to be able to spend most of our time in such a special valley. I am a co-founder of a software startup, and have had the good fortune to be able to work remotely for the past 17 years, spending many seasons in Eldora. We both love to travel to various rock-climbing areas across the US for several months every year. I also love to travel abroad and have most enjoyed visiting and hiking in mountainous countries such as Nepal, and Switzerland.
Why they chose this property
We think Eldora is one of the most beautiful places on this planet. We love it's close access to Boulder and the rest of the front range.
What makes this property unique
With lots of windows, the house is infused with joyful sunlight, every season, and the views of hillsides, granite, aspen and evergreens are beautiful. The house is clear of clutter and distractions, and the often deep silence, and clear starry nights set the stage for tranquility. It's relatively modern construction means it is warm and protected from the elements. Being on the west end of Eldora, trails are close and can be accessed without a car.
