About this cabin rental
Situated in Wondervu, this charming cabin for $182 per night is a great choice for your next break. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (Sleeps 4): Master Loft Bedroom: -King Size Bed Second Bedroom: -Twin Bunk Beds AMENITIES: -Wood-burning fireplace (we provide one Duraflame log for safest use) -Gas BBQ grill -TV with DVD player and movies (no cable) -Linens and towels provided -On-site parking for two vehicles Before you book, we would like you to know this is a fantastic home for you to get away from the rest of the world! We are making the following obvious statements due to recent guests who have stayed with us but did not know what they were booking. This home is located deep in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies. Although there is a great restaurant a few minutes’ walk from the home, the closest store is 30 minutes away. Please make every effort to purchase what you need prior your arrival. Also, it is a low ecological footprint home. Meaning, we conserve water. "Lil' Frying Pan Cabin" is a cozy, rustic tiny home in beautiful Wondervu, CO (near Nederland). This nearly 100-yr-old, pint-sized cabin has been lovingly restored with simplicity in mind. This cabin has been meticulously updated to honor a reduced ecological footprint. This cabin is the epitome of "glamper" - a form of camping with accommodation and facilities more luscious than those associated with traditional camping. The cabin is decorated with quirkiness that you will fall in love with as soon as you step foot inside. The home has new windows and skylights, basking the home in wonderful natural light! The original roof was papered - now it is a beautiful copper. The loft bedroom is wrapped in local CO beetle kill pine - and, it's gorgeous! After a day of adventuring, sit back and relax on the leather couch while warming your toes by the fireplace. Linking you to a simpler time, you can use the top of the fireplace to cook your dinner. The fireplace is one of the cooking options you have in this tiny home: fireplace, small toaster oven, hot plate, microwave, or outside grill. Cooking on the wood stove reminds us of staying at Grandma's - bring the kids, they'll love it! There is no modern oven/stove. Nor will you find a dishwasher or washer/dryer. "Lil' Frying Pan Cabin" has modern plumbing with warm water, a comfortable shower, and flushable toilet (the original outhouse is for storage). There is great WiFi in this home. You will not have an issue streaming. We ask that our guests be mindful of electric power usage, making sure to turn lights and baseboard heaters off when not needed and/or leaving the cabin. There is a refrigerator and a TV with a DVD player and available movies (no cable). It's your chance to unplug and reconnect with nature and your loved ones (if you chose to bring them). This home is one of four cabins... so while remote, you're not completely off the grid. It is also easy to assess off SH-74. The home is located approximately 45 minutes drive from the downtown Denver (30 minutes from downtown Golden / 30 minutes from downtown Boulder). The home’s location is perfect for adventure enthusiasts and quiet escapists alike. There is easy access to hiking and biking trails (don't forget to pack your boots and bike(s)!), family-friendly open space, skiing at Eldora or paddling at Gross Reservoir. There is a picnic table for guests use. Perfect for friends or family. This cabin sleeps four. There is a king size bed in the loft and twin bunk beds in a separate bedroom downstairs. This home is professionally cleaned using natural, eco-friendly cleaning products between each guest stay. Staying in Wintertime? While the property is on a School Bus Route / County-maintained and plowed roadway, during the winter months it may be advisable to have a 4WD vehicle. INTERESTING FACTs: Wondervu is a settlement that was developed in the late 1920s-1930s by the Denver lawyer Otto Friedrichs as a vacation community for the working class.

A perfect home base for a weekend in the woods! We greatly enjoyed the cabin itself and the location. The fireplace is delightful, there scenery is amazing, and there’s a wonderful cafe within walking distance! Property managers were communicative and incredibly helpful

Great get away. Super hiking from easy to difficult. Nederland has good restaurants, attractions, services etc.
The only disappointment was we missed the Aspens. Will plan to visit earlier next year.

Perfect place for a few-day getaway, very clean, very cozy, a true small treasure Mountain retreat. Kitchen is little but fully functional. Think of being in an RV, also when it comes to water use. Very real feeling of being a luxurious Mountaineer in the early 1900 plus electricity & internet. Would go there again and we loved the place!

Super cute little cabin in the mountains. The directions could be a little more specific, or updated to be easier to find.

My friend and I very much enjoyed our stay. It was cozy, quiet, and the perfect place to retreat to after days spent exploring. It has just the right level of amenities to feel easy, but it was rustic enough to feel "off grid" even though there was wifi, hot water, and super comfortable beds. Would definitely stay again!

We stayed almost a week in this cute rustic cabin. It was cozy and fun. Great way to unplug and relax.

This cabin has a great view of the Rockies in the distance with a neat night time glimpse of the suburbs of Denver below. Be aware there is NO A/C and limited water use powered by a pump! Overall, it was a great experience and would return. Avoid bringing groceries that need to be baked as there is no significant oven.

Traveler beware.
The unit has a ton of potential as a glamping excursion and i expect the property owner will jump on taking care of the issues but before you go i would confirm the following are in better condition. The owner was responsive and gave us a credit on our stay but that was not enough to keep us at the little fry pan.
Bugs...we got multiple spider bites after only 2 days
Yard...overgrown to the point it was unuseable
Mechanicals... need attention, loud leaking pump.
Security...concerns with broken door latch.
Water...rationing

We had a wonderful time enjoying nature in this cabin. A great place to unplug and unwind. During our stay, we had 2 welcome visitors on the property. A Bull Moose and his cow which was phenomenal. We were able to get stunning photos and videos from inside the cabin as well as the awesome covered porch. Absolutely amazing retreat.

The Cabin was very rustic but had everything we needed for our stay. It was a bit farther from town drive time than we expected so we had to stay in town the night prior to the race.
Other than that it was a good fit for us. Might want to reset the parental codes on the TV because we were only allowed to watch a few movies since we didn't know the code. Thanks for sharing your cabin.

We wanted a winter getaway. When we arrived the water didn't work. Later that night a plumber arrived and get it going. Next day was great, snowed several inches and the wood stove made it cozy. The next day no water period. Called manager, plumbers came couldnt fix it. We left 2 days earlier. Promised a refund, but have not received it yet.

We had so much fun here! Definitely would consider renting again if I was in the area.

Even though this cabin is a little tricky to find, the owner gave great directions and we found it easily in the dark. Perfect size for my friend and I to stay. It's so close to Nederland, Golden and Boulder and the drive through the mountains is breath taking. Would stay again.

Cute and Cozy
Our stay was great! The cabin had everything that we needed for our 4 day stay. The location was perfect for us since we wanted to be out of the city and close to the Peak to Peak hwy. We visited Boulder, Estes Park, Nederland, Black Hawk, and white water rafting in Idaho Springs!! Great time and loved our stay at the cabin. It's small and the ceilings are low but fit our little family of 4 just fine. Bryan was great with communication. Highly recommend!

Great rustic cabin
Nice location with the basics. Upstairs bed was very comfortable. Our family enjoyed our stay in CO here!
5.0
Everything was exactly as described. The cabin was warm enough without making a fire, but fire making was easy as there was plenty of wood. Other renters' reviews had mentioned that the cabin was hard to find, but the only problem for use was to realize that CO 72 and Coal Creek Canyon Rd. were one and the same. There are other cabins around, but it is very easy to feel private, and also to get some privacy in the different spaces of the house. Note that some of the kitchen items are located on a shelf near and above the fridge. The instructions about water usage were clear and easy to follow. We had to be a little brave about the shower because it was short and not super hot---just as the instructions said. We supplemented by sink/sponge washing and it was fine. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Great Getaway
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. A small, conservative place is just what we were looking for-for our 10 year anniversary! Make sure to pack your slippers because the floor can get cold! We also brought a skillet that we did all our cooking on. Bryan was very responsive to all my questions :)

DO NOT STAY HERE
Finding this cabin was difficult . Directions were sub par . The pump went out and had to stay somewhere else . And no return call from owner . We did not want to burn out his pump . I left two messages . I have contacted booking.com I am out 1200.00 for a weekend trip .
Also nothing to get fire started with like newspaper or kindling ..

A Special Place
This home is the definition of "getting away from it all"
The cabin is secluded but about 30 minutes from the closest town. The cabin has a full refrigerator as well as a wood stove to cook on. The bedrooms offer plenty of room and the beds are super comfy. The WiFi is extremely strong and i had no issue streaming a Zoom call.
Nederland CO is a incredible town filled with great restaurants and shops.
I am planning to stay here again!!!

This was a great cabin to stay while traveling around the Rockies. Quiet, affordable, and charming. We enjoyed the unique style of the loft with the queen bed. Kitchen is small. However, it had all of the amenities. Quiet and peaceful. The place was clean and the hosts were helpful.

Lovely cabin just as described and depicted in the photos. 1930’s built with the charm of that era and lots of upgrades. New roof and substantial windows made it feel snug and secure. No need to use the stove or baseboard heating when the nights dropped into low 50’s. Very nice clean and comfortable shower. The upstairs loft bedroom is large and beautiful, restful space surrounded by the lovely pine paneling. Most comfortable huge bed felt like floating before drifting off to sleep.

Nice place.
The inside of the cabin was warm, inviting and comfortable. The location was perfect to hiking, Golden and Denver. The outside of the cabin needs to be swept and freshened. Grill should be cleaned and porches swept before your arrival. That said, loved my stay.

Very cool cabin just a short drive from Denver. Kids loved it all and we enjoyed just walking around the area after the snow. Very convenient to have to cafe right near by. The cabin was very warm in the cold weather. Great experience! The inclusive price is a bit high per night which is why I didn’t give 5 stars overall. Thanks for a lovely weekend.

Our stay at The ‘Lil Frying Pan’ cabin was perfect for our family of four. The beautiful loft upstairs, the clean and updated bathroom and shower, the comfy bunk bed for the kids, and the wood burning stove all combined to help us build lasting memories. Thanks Bryan for your flexibility for our booking dates and for your quick reply to every question I had. I’d recommend this cabin for anyone looking to get out of the city and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Not secluded but a beautiful cabin with unique design!
Overall, this is a beautiful little cabin with an interesting interior design and the most comfortable mattress ever! However, the negative aspect is that you are very close to 4 other properties yet the pictures don’t really paint this picture. The little neighborhood is quite and no issues, it just wasn’t what we were looking for. If this isn’t an issue for you, then highly recommend this little cabin.
