Escape to Serenity: Dream Canyon Retreat Offers Stunning Views and Spiritual Renewal Near Boulder> Just fifteen minutes west of Boulder, a place of relaxation, a getaway-from-it-all place that’s close to Boulder. At 7,600 feet, it is located near the base of Sugarloaf Mountain, overlooking Dream Canyon and the massive Lost Angel granite cliffs, above Boulder Falls — this reads like a fairy tale — it feels like that too — be sure to read the guest comments.

Everywhere you look you’ll feel the grandeur. The view from each window is a blessing for eye and soul — mountains, the continental divide, cliffs, sunrises, sunsets, and the intensity of stars in the night sky.

You can feel the silence along with gentle, soothing sounds of North Boulder Creek.

Google “The most beautiful rock climbing spots near Boulder” to see the Lost Angel Granite Cliffs that dominate the front yard.

An outdoor dining table gives a ringside seat to rock climbers, occasional slack-liners, and the abundant wildlife that passes through the property. Hummingbirds, Moose, Deer, Fox, Coyotes, Golden Eagles, Bears (rarely), and Elk.

This home is one level with flagstone floors. There are two bedrooms, two baths, and a multipurpose room (optionally a third bedroom, a dining room, or an office with a pull out queen futon ). The master bedroom has a walk-in shower and soaking tub for two and us open concept to bedroom walk in closet. Both bedrooms have queen beds. This home is nonsmoking and pet free zone for anyone with allergies to stay.

There’s 32” Roku Smart TV with guest mode to access all your subscriptions in living space.

The bedrooms, great room/ kitchen all have doors to allow access directly outside no screen doors.

The home has everything you need; bring your clothes, toiletries and a stop in town for groceries before heading up and it's your home away from home. It’s a great base for visiting Boulder, Nederland, and all the surrounding areas in the Peak To Peak region has to offer!
Getting around car or suv is fine in June thru August September to November all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive is recommended due to snow possibility. NO RVs or trailers no parking or area to turn around.

The tranquility is so serene and peaceful that it will leave you relaxed and refreshed that most likely will have you saying you never want to leave!

Rocky Mountain National Park, Indian Peaks Mountains on the Continental Divide, and Fourth of July trail near Eldora are a short drive.

    Amazing place... The morning view is amazing with a hot cup of coffee. The place is stocked with everything needed to cook and enjoy life. No blinds or curtains so watch some horror movies at night! Respect the property please... It is so beautiful. Also make sure that you are not planning on driving a car!

    It's truly impossible to describe the breathtaking view from this property and what it's like to sit out in the Adirondack chairs and listen to the water flow in the canyon in the creek below well you sip your coffee in the morning.Everything was well prepared and clean when we arrived. We felt welcome and inclined to treat this property as we would our own. There's a list of simple instructions to follow upon arrival and on checkout, there's laundry you can do if you need, letters and notes from past guests, as well as pantry items you can help yourself to, and add to.The drive into Boulder takes less than 25 minutes and is very easy if you want to stop at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods and get things to cook for yourself like we did.I've already shared this property with several friends in the family. I hope that we have an opportunity to return one day. If you choose to stay here, you won't regret it!

    I visited this location with my (now) husband to privately exchange vows just the two of us. The views were breathtaking, we often found ourselves spending time just sitting outside or staring out the window. The house was extremely inviting with everything you could need available in the pantries. I will say the driveway was intimidating, we don’t have dirt roads or steep hills in Maryland but with four wheel drive and caution we got the hang of it and felt comfortable. This place will always be a cherished memory for us!

    Probably one of the most peaceful locations we have stayed. The one concern for us was the driveway is tight and must turn to pull out. We did not know this and rented a larger vehicle making it a bit harder. Rent a smaller car !!!Lots of amenities thought of and available !!!!!Even found a guitar minis a string which we took to Nederland and had it worked on. Nice also amazing hummingbirds !!!

    Three of us stayed here for three nights. Old guys trip. We were very comfortable. The cabin is only about 20 minutes from Boulder, but you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. The views are amazing. The property manager Donna was very nice and helpful. I hope we can stay here again sometime.

    I want to keep this place all to myself! Donna, property manager, was fantastic to communicate with. The house and location was beautiful and serene. The location was so convenient to downtown Boulder. Our daughter and son-in-law moved to Boulder area in January and we will definetly be returning to stay at this location soon. Thank you again Donna!

    House was great and had everything you need. The hostess was great, checking to make sure that we arrived and periodically through the week. The views were spectacular, and could be seen from everywhere in the house. I enjoyed sitting outside the house listening to the river below and the winds sweeping through the canyon. Didn't check, but I swear my BP dropped a few dozen points. We enjoyed hiking during the day, the trails in Eldora were some of the best we have seen and only 10-15 mins away. As others have mentioned, the driveway is not for the faint of heart but easily mastered. We were in a 4wd truck, which required some additional maneuvering due to length, but manageable. I would definitely drive a vehicle with some ground clearance. If you want to get away from it all... this is place. I hope to visit again.

    We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend. It was easy to get to Denver, Boulder and Estes Park. The first drive down the gravel is a bit daunting but you get used to it! We enjoyed dinner every OG Hy on the picnic table, hiked up and down to the creek and enjoyed the provided games, books and puzzles. We had an amazing family trip.

    This is a wonderful retreat for getting away from it all. The house is well appointed, lots of storage space, hangers (yay!), not too far to Pearl Street Mall but definitely out of the main drag. The house is decorated so nicely and it makes for a very homey feeling. We saw a rock climber, deer, chipmunks and bunnies. There is a birds nest over the front porch and mama bird was busy feeding her hatchlings the whole time we were there. Played Yahtzee and did 3 puzzles, took walks, and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet. Also very comfy main bed :) Thank you for a lovely stay.
