About this property

The space

This home is located up beautiful Coal Creek Canyon at an elevation of 8500 feet with unbelievable panoramic views of the snow capped Continental Divide. Enjoy your morning coffee taking in the majestic peaks out the kitchen windows or relax on the 1800 sq. ft two story deck watching the sunset during dinner. There is a wood burning fireplace to cozy up to while enjoying the smart TV, or you can challenge the family to a Foosball match downstairs. The home is nestled in a private pine forest with various rock outcroppings opening up to vast views.

The neighborhood

The central location allows easy access to all the city amenities of Boulder, Golden, and Denver while residing in the breathtaking Colorado mountains. Outdoor activity options are endless with hiking/snowshoeing, mountain biking, rock climbing, fishing, canoeing/kayaking, Jeep/4WD trails, etc all in the immediate vicinity. The Roosevelt National Forest is just footsteps away. The casino towns of Black Hawk and Central City are a short drive through the mountains. You can also take the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway north to the town of Nederland to enjoy the unique shops and variety of festivals and events. Avoid the freeways as skiing can be had at Eldora Mountain Resort within a 20 minute drive. This is the perfect home base for any Colorado adventure.

Getting around

This property is located directly off a state maintained plowed and paved road. No special vehicle is required to access this property year round.

Interaction with guests

Guests will have complete privacy during their stay and will be provided a code for entrance. With that said, I live minutes away in the surrounding community and can be available as needed. I'm also very familiar with the local area and would be happy to help with any recommendations from the popular destinations to the hidden gems.

Other things to note

Most cell carriers will typically get a bar of service on the property. High speed Internet with WiFi is also provided so you can also use WiFi calling if needed.

Absolutely Incredible!

This location exceeded our expectations! Incredible views, a gorgeous property, a cozy fireplace, and the most comfortable beds. The owner was helpful and quick to respond with any questions we had. It was easy for us to get to/from Denver, and we loved how secluded this property was without being super far from the city. Our only regret is not staying longer!

Incredible view, comfortable accommodations

This is a large 3 bedroom home, two bedrooms and a bath downstairs, one bedroom and a bath upstairs. The kitchen is well supplied, and the refrigerator is very large. We stayed in the winter, and it heated up pretty quickly, and we did not use the fireplace. Exterior lighting was great for returning after dark. The view to the west is incredible, and I can imagine that during the spring and summer it would be even more beautiful with leaves on the trees. This is a great place to come with family and friends!

Picturesque Mountain retreat

From beginning to end everything was easy and fun. The house was sparkling clean and the beds were fresh and very comfortable. The water was hot for showers. We enjoyed the wood burning stove and the games. Above all, the Mountain View’s from the two story porch and living room windows was breathtaking. I would gladly stay here again. Phil was a wonderful host.

Rocky Mountain Retrear

This is the perfect spot to unwind, bask in the quiet and clear mountain air, and drink in the fantastic view of the Rocky Mountains. This mountain home is older, but clean and the beds and living space are all super comfortable. Philip is an excellent host and communicator and he was very helpful when we needed it. I’ll look forward to staying here again when I need a quiet retreat space.

Wow, what a great view overlooking the mountains. We spent our free time sitting on the deck and watching the clouds roll through. The house had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Great location close to food, drink and Nederland. We would definitely stay here again.

Great house ! Definitely agree with another reviewer, needs better lights in kitchen, dining room, living room, bedrooms. But, we loved our time here with friends . In the middle of everything we wanted to do, Winter Park, Nederland, Estes Park . Great hikes in the area too.

Beautiful View

The view from this house was absolutely amazing and for our trip it was pretty central to all the things we wanted to do. For the most part the house was great just a few things we would recommend is ceiling fans in upstairs bdrm and main part of the house. Also having screens in kitchen window would have been nice so we could open them to help cool off the house during the hot days. Lighting in the kitchen wasn't the best either and the driveway really needs a lot of work, not good for anything other than a truck/SUV/jeep. Overall, this house fit our needs just fine and we really did enjoy the view.

A Great Home-base!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The location was a great home-base for area hiking trails, restaurants, and things-to-do. Nederlands, Boulder, and Golden were all less than an hour away and provided all sorts of vacation opportunities, and the Denver airport was only a hour away. But our favorite thing to do was to sit on the porch and enjoy the view - the pictures do not do it justice! The home was nothing fancy, the driveway was a little rough, and there was road noise at times - but the home was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed, and was perfect for my family. I would highly recommend!

Amazing views and plenty of room

The best parts about this property are the view and plenty of room for multiple groups to enjoy. The property has a bit of a minimalistic approach to furniture/decor, but you will want to spend most of your time outside anyways. Some appliances/kitchen items have seen their age and could look to be replaced. We stayed in the winter during some decent snowfall and the road is cleared very frequently which made getting in and out relatively easy. Virtually working from the location was easy with a decent internet connection and a great ATT cellular signal.

Christmas in The Rockies

Peak to Peak Mountain Home is really a tad rustic, not as tripped out as luxurious mountain retreats. But the view is great and the accommodations are adequate. It has all the modern conveniences including great Internet and Roku TV, plus laundry facilities, decent kitchen and overall spaciousness. A little bit of spit and polish would really make this place shine.

Beautiful views

Large wraparound decks with gorgeous views! Lots of light throughout. House was somewhat minimal, but enjoyed the space and was still very comfortable. Good beds and linens. There is some road noise, but only during the daytime. Very quiet at night. Only an hour from downtown Denver, but you feel like you are in the mountains away from it all!

The break we needed!!

This was the perfect home away from home. We drove 22 hours from Florida to Colorado to hike and get away from the heat and couldn't have been happier with this location. The house was perfect inside and out. We spent most of our time hiking around the area but also took some time to explore the property (which our pup loved the most!). Not that you should work on vacation but if you have to the internet was strong and reliable....I was able to work via WebEx with NO issues. Visited Ned's in Nederland and The Last Stand Tavern for meals....both were excellent. If there was a negative, there was only one, the two sets of stairs were tough after our hike to Sky Pond but you can blame that on our Florida lungs! Highly reccomend this property!

About the host

Your host

I'm an avid outdoor enthusiast so lucky to live in the mountains of Colorado. If I'm not relaxing at home soaking in the views, you can likely find my wife and I exploring nearby trails and open spaces with our two pups, shredding the local singletrack mountain biking, or trekking up one of the many mountain peaks. The beauty and friendly, relaxed culture of Colorado truly never ceases to amaze me.
