Owl Chalet - 1950's Cabin close to hiking, creek, and brewery!

The owl chalet is absolute gem and delight to stay in! It is such the most perfect and wonderful mix of modern comfort in a beautiful cabin, which is exactly what we were hoping to find in our trip. Incredibly well put together, organized, and designed so lovely! Not to mention we found beautiful lighting in the fall. Thank you to our host for being responsive and maintaining a beautiful place for us to enjoy!

I thought the price was a little high. We started looking late and there really was not much left with 3 bredrooms 2 baths.

It’s definitely rustic and needs some repairs here and there but everything was clean and comfortable. We had a good time staying here and would recommend.

We had a great stay in this nice rustic cabin in the nice little town of Rollinsville. Beautiful scenery and Buffalo grazing on the farmland down the road. Really nice and well run.

We enjoyed our stay at the Owl Chalet! Great for two couples. Very close to Nederland and the hiking trails. Host was responsive and we especially liked the gas stove/fireplace in the evening!

It was great!

It is a very cozy home!! We loved our stay here. The stove heater was great, it really warms up the living room when cold. We enjoyed all the outdoor seating as well. Some trash from past visitors was left in a couple dresser drawers, but it’s not a big issue at all. We threw it away. Overall a great stay and we would stay again many times! Our dog loved the outdoors and the fenced off area.

We went skiing at Eldora and had a great time. Fully equipped kitchen with sharp knives (rare). Newer pots and pans (nice) Thought the kitchen could use a tea kettle and a new can opener. (minor issues) Nice to have a coffee grinder and French press. Coffee maker made warmish hot coffee. Thanks, Clara

Clean and tidy chalet. Well equipped. New Samsung kitchen appliances and reliable Starlink internet. We had some cosy nights by the fireplace watching movies and enjoying grill on the patio. Property is very well maintained and welcoming. Just 20 min away from Eldora skiing zone. Remember to keep yourself well hydrated, recommend to get some electrolyte soft drinks and do not hesitate using humidifiers kindly presented at every bedroom as air is extremely dry, especially while heating the house. We enjoyed our ski getaway at the Owl Chalet and highly recommend! Thank you!

Very nice house, had everything we needed plus more to make our stay very pleasant.

Cozy cabin with gorgeous gas, burning potbelly stove! Very comfortable stay and the large dog run was a game changer – photos of surroundings make it appear to be a little more isolated than it actually is. Be aware that your neighbors are very close by and that it feels more like an industrial area than a mountain neighborhood.

The house was fine. Safe, quiet, and generally as described. But the photos were taken from generous angles—maybe enhanced or just old. The place was free of garbage, but the floors and sofa had dog hair from previous guests. There were no paper towels or napkins, and only one towel per person for the entire stay.The home itself needs some attention. Doors that don’t close, switches that don’t work, and a few fixes a handyman could knock out in an afternoon. The coffee maker and shower heads need descaling.It’s also a home on a mountain with no view. That’s important to know before you book.

Location is amazing, the neighborhood is quiet, and the host is very communicative. We stayed here in between hikes and it had a great set up. We would most definitely stay here again!

Our stay here was very nice. The area was very quaint. Obviously the scenery is spectacular. The house was very charming, as well, with plenty of space to move around. There was lots to explore in the immeadiate area and the Owl Chalet was a relatively short drive to the surrounding Denver area. I would love to go back to Owl Chalet some day.

This is a perfect location and a great cabin in the mountains. Clara was responsive and helpful, and everything was easy.

I wish I could leave a better review but I want to be honest for other renters to be aware. This would have helped me make a better decision for renting. House was dirty in many of the rooms. Starting with kitchen sink and surfaces. Splatter marks on surfaces and walls. Floor was dirty from spills, not by us. Refrigerator was dirty along with freezer with bugs. Very dusty throughout. Couch pillows covered with dog hair. Bottom bathroom with lots of spiders and a rug trying to hide some flooring issue. Upstairs bathroom with rug in front of toilet hiding another floor issue. Bathtub shower insert felt like it would cave in from standing in the middle. Shower head could be nice but covered with lots of scale build up. Shower handle very loose and hard to set to good temp because of be so loose. Shower door part is off and are very loose swinging. Vanity faucet was dirty from prior renter. Upstairs floors had long black from another renter along with a leftover drink bottle under bed. Rooms were at 78 degrees when we arrived at 6pm day of checkin. Got them to cool down to 70 by midnight and use of box fans provided. East bed was hard but other two beds were comfy. All rooms had multiple bugs crawling or flying around. Neighbor dogs bark a lot during day and evenings. I honestly could not cook a meal in that kitchen. Too dirty. Good things to say; plenty of hot water, go out on balcony around 3am to see massive amounts of stars, town pizza place has good pizza and great service.

During our stay, we appreciated having plenty of bath towels, a large kitchen table, comfortable beds and the home’s walkable location to town.However, we were disappointed to arrive and find knee high grass directly outside the home and in the fenced area. There was also a lot of trash in the fenced area and the mat was under the dirt. The patio furniture was dirty and the patio needed to be swept. The dryer was full of towels that needed to be folded and put away. There was an odor in the master bedroom that over a few days I discovered was a urine smell coming from the carpet by the window.We understand this is an older home, but it is in great need of updates and repair with flooring coming up and trim pieces broken or missing throughout. With some care and updates this place could be great overall!

It was a beautiful old cabin. Very unique. It was very creaky but that didntget matter at all. There hasn't a whole lot to do in the area but we wanted a cabin in the mountains and that is what we got! The town shuts down early. But overall we had a great stay!

The house was spacious and quaint. We really enjoyed our time there and were happy with our choice.

Everything was great! Nice and clean felt like a home ! Host does a great job connecting with you so you can be comfortable during your stay , Thank you again we will be back!

Great place to stay, very quiet and close to many parks and hijing

We had a great time at the property. We loved that it was close to eldora and the pizza place across the street was easy to get to as well!

Overall great place. Plenty of room for our family of 6. Close to El Dora for skiing.

Very great cabin, cozy, and has a homey feel. The other houses surrounding the cabin were a little scary and people give you weird looks when you say you are staying in Rollinsville. But no harm was done to us. We had an amazing time. Thank you

My wife and I went up for a long Valentine's weekend. We had a great time with the house to ourselves. Excellent access to Nederland and Eldora skiing and a cross the street from Rollingsville's Main St. Clara (host) was very helpful and responded quickly.

Rented this cabin for a girls snow trip; this was our first time in Colorado (from the South). It’s about an 1.15 hrs away from Denver and 20 minutes from Black Hawk which had many restaurants and casinos. The roads driving to the house wear clear of snow and fairly easy to navigate. You will need a AWD car to navigate these areas during the winter. The cabin has spacious rooms and is very clean. I appreciated the two full bathrooms. Clara the host was responsive and attentive to our inquiries.

Pros: lots of space, comfortable bedsCons: not enough silverware for 6 people Many pieces of trim were loose

We had a wonderful stay! Thank you so much!

Celebrated a birthday but wanted to be out of the city. Beautiful views, watched a snow squall come through & woke to great sunrises. Check in & out was clear & easy. Great pizza across the road!

It had already snowed with approximately 12 of accumulation and it continued to snow for the next 36 hours giving us about 18-24 of snow total. We were very grateful to find that the host had arranged to have a pathway cleared for us to get into the house. Because of the amount of snow that had fallen we were somewhat restricted on where we were able to go. The brewery mentioned in the description is also an excellent coffee shop and it was just a few minute walk from the house. We went there for coffee and breakfast during the worst of the snowstorm - good food and great coffee. The property also includes a fenced in area of the yard. This was a great asset for us and our pet dog. He loved being able to run and play in the snow. We loved it there.

Bring a bottle of wine, a guitar and your sweetheart. Itll be great

Very lovely stay

Incredible views, spacious house, so close to the cutest little area of Rollinsville, great communication, really nothing to complain about! Can’t wait to recommend this house to any friends visiting the area in the future!
