Great hiking, biking and site seeing nearby in Golden Gate Canyon State Park, James Peak Wilderness, Indian Peaks Wilderness, and Roosevelt National Forest.

Great winter property with Eldora Mountain Resort only 14 miles away, and less than an hour to Loveland Ski Area. Winter Park and Summit County ski areas also about an hour away. Excellent snowshoeing and backcountry skiing at South Boulder Creek Trail nearby outside of Rollinsville. Seven (7) pairs of snowshoes provided at the house for your use. Return after a day of fun in the snow to hot chocolate and the hot tub!

Love this place!

We absolutely loved our time here! We booked literally last minute. Communication was quick and check in/out was super easy. We had everything we needed plus some fun extras; like games! The only recommendation I would have is if you are coming during the winter grab a 4 wheel drive vehicle, the driveway is pretty steep. However, there are shovels and sand provided by the owners (but 4 wheel drive saves a little extra work lol) We would totally stay here again! Thanks for everything Scott

Disappointing

I really wanted to like this place. The upstairs was fine, however, the basement where the bedrooms are located smelled terrible, like there is a mold/mildew problem. It was so bad we could not sleep in the rooms and left early.

Incredible Log Cabin Getaway!!!!!!

Wow! What an incredible gem we found in this log cabin in the mountains! We were so impressed with the cleanliness of the house, the quick communication of the property manager, and the beautiful views all around the house! The open concept of the living room, dining room, and kitchen was so great to be able to spend time with family while cooking. We enjoyed playing games (especially Awkward Family Photos, but there were so many to choose from), sitting in the hot tub every night gazing up at a million stars after hiking the mountains, and just relaxing with our family in the quiet neighborhood (never heard a neighbor). Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need plus spices and some condiments. Laundry had detergent and dryer sheets. Just everything you could want. We truly enjoyed our stay!! Thanks, Scott, for sharing your home with us and we hope to be back soon!

My only complaint

Nice place. Dryer venting was blocked so dryer would overheat. Called to get it fixed. I was asked to check the dryer vent outside and check the dryer connection to the dryer itself. I didnt like having to do a service call while i was on vacation. I thought the manager should have taken care of the issue instead of asking me to fix it.

Decent cabin but needs TLC

The cabin overall was ok but I personally think it needs a freshen up. Maybe a little TLC. Here are some things I would like share The downstairs where the bedrooms are smelled of urine pretty bad. I did notify Scott and he had no idea of it, could have been a previous dog or maybe it was the mice. Because there’s mice poop all by the laundry area. The mouse/mice was a treat tho, cool little fella ate through the packaging of our foods. This little fella was extremely loud throughout the nights and I did notify Scott and he said he had issues with them earlier in the year and he would come out and set traps. I get it, it’s a mountain house, but as a host I would definitely try my best with that. Always have some hidden traps! Because us guest don’t want to deal with that while on vacation. Hot Tub was working and I’d say in good condition. The deck is nice but you should remove or replace the sharp jagged edged sheet metal by the grill that could easily cut someone pretty bad. Some of the deck furniture is completely trashed and not functional and all broken up. And makes me wonder why wasn’t it thrown away. The lawnscape is extremely tall and not cared for you cannot play games in the pictures because the lawn is way too tall. There’s huge weeds growing through the front stairs. Just overall bad taste. Blanket over the bathroom window is just bad taste. Duck taping the living room chair? Really? We spent over $500 a night. I feel ripped off honestly

This home is in my top five out of 13 years of renting from VRBO. Everything in listing was accurate and the owner who was very easy to communicate with thought of everything to make sure our stay was amazing. The only downfall was we had to leave. Thank you Scott for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Perfectly Peaceful Paradise

This property is a cozy cabin that is tucked into the mountains residing on several acres. It is near Golden Gate State Park with Black Hawk just a short drive away. The property manager is very communicative and quick to help with any questions or needs. There is a hot tub in the elevated deck that overlooks the landscape yet remains private. We had a lot of fun playing Croquet on a custom course that wanders the property as well as horseshoes. The cabin windows open and invite a beautiful breeze into the home keeping the air cool and fresh. Our 3 pups really enjoyed their time as well. If you want a cozy place to get away and rekindle your spirit, this cabin is the perfect spot!

Beautiful Cabin and Location

The cabin was lovely. We enjoyed using the hot tub and the beautiful views. The only downfall for us was the floor heater in the master bedroom made a ticking noise about once an hour for 10 or 15 minutes all night. It did wake us up several times.

This property will not disappoint! Spent the week with my grown children in this exceptional mountain home. Well appointed, well-stocked, spacious, comfortable, and unique property with breathtaking views. Location is fairly remote.

Lovely Mountain House

Our week stay at Mountain House was lovely. The home is well equipped and cared for. It had everything we needed to cook, be comfortable and relax, as well as ample info about the local area for food / hiking. Scott was great to work with - easy communication and he made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The porch is incredible, as beautiful as the house is you will be drawn to spend all of your time outside (in summer :) ) enjoying the fresh air and looking at the stars. The location was perfect for us - feel secluded but have multiple options within 30 mins for food / grocery / entertainment. There is also a small convenience store right on the main road that had basics when we didn’t feel like venturing into town. We will definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in Black Hawk. Thanks again, Scott, for sharing your beautiful home!

Perfect Family Cabin In The Mountains

This cabin is absolutely beautiful! My husband, sister, myself and our kids stayed here for a week to visit with the rest of our family out here in Colorado. The scenery is breathtaking! The cabin has everything you could possibly need. We grilled outside and cooked many of our meals right inside the fully stocked kitchen. Even with 3 teenagers and a 6 year-old we were all very comfortable and enjoyed our stay! There are many close amenities. A gas station nearby and Nederland has a grocery store, coffee shop and plenty of shops/cafes. Only a short drive from the cabin. Scott was a wonderful host with great/fast communication. We all agree we would love to stay here again. The cabin was very comfy and made us feel right at home... with much better views!

Mountain Getaway With Hot Tub! AH!!!

Scott was great to work with and answered all our questions. This location is amazing! So close to great trails and towns—even a huge new brewery is like five minutes away. But it is the house and the hot tub we will remember! Sitting on that huge deck or in that hot tub, chilling, re-connecting and more. If your family or friend group fits, try this charming log home with great views and all the needed amenities. You might find as we did, it was just what we needed!

Winter Wonderland Mountain Getaway

This mountain home was a lovely place for a reunion gathering with a couple of old friends. Weather in Denver was mild, but the snow began as soon as we got up the mountain, and it didn't stop all weekend! Absolutely beautiful, but we were happy to have an AWD rental vehicle. Pros: The hot tub is just as *amazing* as we'd hoped, and we stayed cozy with the wood stove while it snowed. Hosts had snow shovels, a couple of pairs of strap-on snow shoes, in addition to thoughtful amenities we couldn't use due to weather, like grilling equipment and a great dining setup on the deck (which has a nice view). No shortage of entertainment options for movies and music; solid WiFi (but no cell signal!). (Minor) Cons: While the upper level is gorgeous, with a ski lodge/log cabin vibe, the bedrooms are all in the basement, and it's cold down there. Each room has its own small, forced-air wall unit or baseboard radiator. These are mostly effective, but they make the air super dry and at least one was a little loud for sleeping (unless you're into white noise). Overall: Excellent, with a well-appointed kitchen. Be sure to buy the groceries you'll need while you're still near a town of decent size! (We paid $16 for a lb. of sugar and a bottle of honey at the convenience mart nearby!) This place is neat and comfortable; it's not "hotel clean," but it's as clean as the home of the last respectable family you stayed with. We loved our stay. Many thanks to the hosts for opening their home to us!

I moved here from Wisconsin and made this my dream house. I had to move but now I am happy to share it with you. I think it is a special place and a great way to experience mountain living.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood enjoys great views and the feeling of being remote but yet it is "convenient" to so may locations. You can walk walk to a convenience store and now even a brewery but yet you would never guess it when you are at the house.

What makes this property unique

Experience real Colorado Mountain living within an hour of Denver and avoid driving I70!
