About this property

NO Smoking, Peaceful Rocky Mountain Lake Home - Close to Parks, Denver, Boulder

Leave the traffic and stress behind! This peaceful place is a perfect spot to unwind!

We love sharing our place with people who love nature and will take good care of our place.

NO SMOKING or open flame anywhere on our property or inside our place. Unfortunately we recently found cigarette butts in our yard after some of our guests had left. As you have seen on the news, it only takes 1 small careless act to cause horrible fires.

NO PARTIES, 6 people maximum at our place. We want to be sure our place and area is a good fit for you before you book a reservation.
Please find a different place if you want to have more people, damage our property or party and play loud music etc. into the wee hours of the night.
Our neighbors are our friends. They are friendly, quiet and respectful.
We want to be sure our guests are too, so everyone is able to enjoy our beautiful area.

NO PETS, for a variety of reasons. We love seeing wildlife in our yard and around the lake. Wildlife often will avoid property with pets.

For those who want to be centrally located to wonderful things the Front Range of Colorado has to offer, this is a great home base for your adventures. Go skiing, bird watching, hiking, biking, fishing and more. It is located in the mountains less than 1 hour from Denver, Boulder, and Rocky Mountain National Park so there are many day trips to be taken in all directions! The new Gilpin County Recreation Center has 2 pools and a water slide, classes and workout facilities.

Be sure to take time to relax on the deck and enjoy the breathtaking views and sunshine ;-)

Sibling Weekend

The property location is stunning and feels off the beaten path but still convenient to towns close by. I was surprised at how clean it was for an older home. It was spacious and comfortable and the hummingbirds were delightful.

A peaceful and magical spot

We absolutely loved our stay here. We were looking to just get away from the city and be immersed in nature and that is exactly what we got here. The lake brings within viewing distance all kinds of animals. So many hummingbirds, dragonflies, bunnies and chipmunks, and we also saw a few moose across the lake! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for some peace and quiet and a recharge with natures surroundings.

Way Up There!

The cabin is very nice and clean inside. We were disappointed that it was very grown up trying to get down to the lake and that side of the lake was so overgrown in the water that my husband couldn't fish there. Also, it was quite a ways from everything, so we spent a lot of time driving. The altitude messed with my husband's sleeping, but overall, it was a nice stay. Kristine was great to work with!

Beautiful mountain getaway

This property has all the comforts of home and then some. Great view and peaceful surroundings. We found plenty to do to entertain my teens. Property owner was super responsive and caring as we stayed there during a wild snowstorm. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in regularly. You will not be disappointed staying at this beautiful home!

Very Peaceful Getaway

Beautiful location with great views. The property is a little dated but well cared for and well equipped. If you are looking to be a bit off the beaten path and enjoy short jaunts to the various parks then this is a great spot for you. I would stay here again.

Beautiful cabin with a picture-perfect view of a lake and the mountains

We stayed for two nights when the aspen had turned to gold. We enjoyed very much the panoramic view from the sitting room and deck of the lake with the mountains and trees...made perfect by a visit to the lake by a bull moose in the morning to bid us goodbye. The house had everything we required - highly recommended!

Sweet mountain retreat

We had a GREAT time on a beautiful property in the mountains. This was a unique property next to a mountain lake with great views all day. With clear skies all of our days, we were able to clearly see the milky way and hear a couple owls chatting in the evening. We would definitely return. Thanks to the owners!

Mother/Daughter Trip

We chose this property for a Mother/Daughter trip for our Moms 80th birthday. The house was amazing, stocked with all the amenities we needed, and offered a view that was unmatchable. It was a quiet and remote retreat, but was still centrally located to most of our planned activities. The wildlife visits by elk, moose and bald eagle were the icing on the cake.

Mountain magic

Just loved the place. All the comforts of home. We hiked as we hoped we would. The trek up to Blue Lake probably the highlight of the trip. So good to be able come back from the exhausting hike and relax at the homestead. Thanks so much for your hospitality. Hopefully we will visit again.all the best Ken and John

Beautiful Location

This was our third visit in the past year and it didn’t disappoint. Enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening on the deck surrounded by mountain and lake views can’t be beat. We loved paddle boarding around the lake and going for walks in the area. The cabin feels like home and is nestled in a beautiful place. We will be back again!

extended family getaway

Our family had a wonderful time at this mountain spot. Comfortable, beautiful views, and as convenient as you will get in the mountains. We really appreciated the information compiled by the owner that directed us to nearby Nederland -- a wonderful little town -- and to the nearby state park. The mountain bikes that were available were a nice surprise for the young adults. This was a great location to use as our home base for RMNP and Boulder/Denver activity.

Fantastic Late Winter Mountain Escape

First, the host, Kristine, was great to deal with (even rescheduling due to a last minute weather event) and the house was exactly as advertised. It's a beautiful location, the family had a wonderful experience, and I would definitely book again. One note, the neighborhood road is earth and steep, it was a bit of a challenge for our 2WD minivan due to mud/ice in sections.

About the host

Host profile image
I love being in nature and traveling.

Why they chose this property

I love the mountain views and the lake. This is our vacation home, and we also love spending time there. We are happy to share our special place with those that will appreciate it and take good care of it.

So if you want to bring pets, have a big party, or smoke, please find another place to stay. Our quiet neighborhood is not a good fit for you and your plans.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful Getaway, great views of the mountains and lake. Might even see some wildlife like eagles, herons, hummingbirds, elk, or moose.
