About this cabin rental

Located in Colorado, this charming cabin for $230 per night is a great choice for your next break. We invite you to enjoy the inspiring space of our modest, two bedroom mountain cabin nestled in the Rocky Mountains. The cabin is a short scenic drive west of Boulder, Colorado and only two miles from the quaint and colorful mountain town of Nederland, CO. Built in the early 1900's, our house was the baggage depot which serviced the historic, Switzerland Trail Railroad. The cabin sits at approximately 8600 ft., is south facing, adorned with a lot of glass, great natural light and is passive solar. It is located off a county dirt road, providing easy winter access, situated in a lovely riparian valley, surrounded by Boulder County Open Space and the Roosevelt National Forest. We remolded this historic cabin in the late 1990's, but not without first falling in love with the wonderful character and imperfections of this turn of the century structure. We purposely kept what we could, like the original hardwood floor, and took great care to salvage and recycle as much of the original, weathered materials, and then integrated them back into our home. Though 100 years old, our cabin offers the comfort of all the modern amenities, while preserving it's rustic charm in a uniquely, eclectic style. Reclaimed, hand hewn timbers accent the the cabin exterior, the master bedroom, and the one of a kind, rustic, hand poured bathroom. Hammered metal details and homemade doors add a wonderful, hand made touch throughout. Furnishings and decorations artistically blend textures from around the globe, as well as from local artisans, all of which enhance the uniqueness of your stay. Our cabin is the ideal location for a romantic getaway, as well as a wonderful place to escape the summer heat or the hustle and bustle of the city. Relax and rejuvenate in the magic of our home and the clean Rocky Mountain air. Sit on your front porch while drinking your morning coffee. Soak in the sunshine viewing the native mountain wildflowers and listen to the melodic flowing stream along with the chirping chorus of the ubiquitous hummingbird and the song of the native mountain birds. For the history buff, the valley in which our cabin sits, is steeped in mining history Our cabin specifically, is the gateway house before entering the New Cardinal historic mill site, which in its heyday, was one of the largest gold mines in the area. Across the road is a cute, well maintained cabin, that was the New Cardinal brothel, in the early 1900's. The remnants of the Switzerland Trail Railroad is only steps from your door, This, historic railroad grade offers a network of hiking, mountain biking and in the winter, cross country skiing trails right out your door. The extensive Nederland mountain biking trail systems are also accessed from your doorstep. Be at the Eldora Ski Resort, which offers downhill skiing, snowboarding and nordic skiing in only 10 minutes. For the outdoor enthusiast, not only is there hiking, mountain bike riding and cross country skiing out your door, but just a few miles away in Boulder Canyon there is rock climbing, swimming, kayaking and fly fishing. The high alpine peaks of the Indian Peak Wilderness Area are easily accessed and only a short distance away. If you prefer a scenic mountain drive, or a spectacular road bike ride, the Peak to Peak Highway is two miles from our cabin, taking you to Rocky Mountain National Park to the north, or to the casinos of Black Hawk, and Central City to the south. The progressive town of Boulder itself is 17 miles down the canyon road, and offers a large variety of shopping, restaurants and the famous Pearl Street Mall.

This cabin is a wonderful place to stay. It is private, unique, & very cozy. My husband and I enjoyed this secluded location because it was close to Eldora Ski Resort & many local trailheads. The communication with the property manager was also easy, fast, & efficient. I definitely recommend this place!

We were pleasantly surprised at how this property was even more charming then our impression from its listing. Roxanne is very communicative and answered all of our questions before arrival. The amenities provided, especially the cooking equipment was wonderful. We were able to prepare several wonderful holiday meals in the well equiped kitchen. Our family loved this cozy cabin and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a mountain escape in lovely,quirky, Nederland.

The place was great. We enjoyed the seclusive area and perfect for hiking and walking. It’s so close to Nederland and easy to get to but you seem you are miles away from everything.

This was truly a magical mountain getaway! My only regret is that we were not there longer! The cabin/house is rustic yet updated (stainless steel appliances, running water, gas stove, hot water heater, furnace). We felt like we were really in the mountains away from the masses. There are other cabins nearby but we never heard a peep out of them. This was my birthday weekend and every year we go somewhere in the mountains to relax and enjoy ourselves. This was, by far, the best experience we've had! It was so quiet that we heard a hawk flapping it's wings as it flew through the sky. When looking out the floor to ceiling windows, we were enchanted with the richness of the pine forest in front of us. It snowed about 10-12 inches over the weekend, which made it even more magical! This was a beautiful, well-loved home that I wholeheartedly recommend to others who want to escape to the solitude of the Colorado Rockies! We will be back next year for a longer stay. And, we are thinking about a summer trip! Thank you for your radical hospitality!

The cabin is just as advertised and beautiful! The location is not only beautiful, but so convenient to everything we get away to the mountains to do. The hosts are available, and their communication is top notch. If you’re looking for your mountain, get away, this is it!
