Golden, Colorado
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.
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.
We had a wonderful time! The space was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed!
Clean, spacious, and well-appointed with a spectacular view. Also great communication from host. If you are looking for complete serenity you should know that the road is very close. Otherwise this place is amazing.
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.
You won’t find a better view of the Rocky Mountains, and our host was so very gracious and accommodating! We had a wonderful time!
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.
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!
Everything was as advertised. The entire process including check-in and communication with the owner exceded expectations. The property was clean and comfortable. The views were extraordinary and the location was convenient and private.
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.
