Newly added 2-3 person Sauna! Thoughtfully designed house sits adjacent to National Forest Land affording Hiking, Mountain Biking, Snowshoeing, and XC Skiing all from the front door. Over 1600 sq. ft. of usable space, amazing mountain views, and indoor/outdoor living with an openable glass garage door and large south facing deck with hot tub. Nestled in the trees amongst towering Ponderosa Pines. Located minutes away from Nederland, Boulder, and Eldora Ski Resort. This space will not disappoint!

Since its inception, everyone that has visited this house has commented positively about the space. Owner designed, and built with the help of local craftsman, no detail was left untouched. With 15' high vaulted ceilings, south facing aspect, passive solar design, and filled with an abundance of windows, this house is flooded with light, color, and ample ventilation. When temperatures drop, in floor radiant heat takes over to provide warmth underfoot and an auxiliary gas stove provides instant heat. With an amazing view of Mount Thorodin, also know as the sleeping giant, this 10'500 foot mountain is the focal centerpiece. Perched on top of a hill and surrounded by trees, one has the feeling of being in a tree house.

The property is located in a rural mountain neighborhood and is very secluded as it backs up to National Forest service land, however, it is less than only one mile away from a major highway (Hwy 72) and has ample parking. It is very quiet consisting of only two other neighbors with ample spacing. Even though the property has a Black Hawk address, it is actually closer to the small but bustling mountain town of Nederland. The local area provides numerous summer and winter recreation activities and is flanked by the Continental Divide Mountain Range with protected Wilderness areas. Minutes away, Eldora Ski Resort provides world class Alpine skiing and a Nordic Center with over 40 kilometers of groomed trails.

Approximate time to local areas : 10 minutes to Nederland (nearest town), 20 minutes to Eldora Ski Resort, 25 minutes to Black Hawk, 35 minutes to Boulder, 55 minutes to Denver, and 1 hour 15 minutes to Denver International Airport (DIA).

Guest access: This house is a three story house, of which guests have exclusive access to the 1st floor ( main living area ) with separate entrance, deck, hot tub, and grill, and the 2nd floor (master suite) with spa bathroom, bedroom and adjoining balcony. The owner/host resides in the lower level of the house with separate entrance and shares no common spaces with guests. Guests also have free access to local micro brewed beer on tap in the kitchen as well as organic coffee and filtered water.

Other things to note: During winter months, an AWD or 4WD vehicle is recommended. Cell coverage is limited, currently AT&T. WiFi and WiFi calling are available as well as a land line and phone for local and emergency calls. If you do not have AT&T, it is advisable to set up WIFI calling with your provider before arrival. Check - in is anytime after 4 pm and check - out is by 10 am. Quiet hours are from 10 pm - 8 am. No parties, no shoes or smoking inside the house.

    This is not a VRBO, this is a labor of love. A mini-destination resort, the details and craftsmanship, big and small, that Randy has put into this place are phenomenal. From the in-suite sauna, the outside hot tub, the upscale appointments, the eclectic works of wall art and sculpture, the wonderfully equipped kitchen... an amazing experience. We will be back soon!!

    This property is a wonderful place to really feel one with nature. It's very quiet and serene, and yet only 3 miles to Black Hawk, 6 miles to Nederland, and 35 miles to Boulder. The home itself is very charming, clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful home inside and out. The views are incredible. Rooms are clean, well updated, and uniquely decorated. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen or in the living room with the whole front of the house opened up with the patio doors and garage door. Location is great, very centralized for all of our planned adventures. Will definitely be checking the availability to return.

    My two daughters and I very much enjoyed our stay! The location is quiet, but easy access to Nederland and Golden State Park. We used the hot tub each day and appreciated that the coffee grinder was full and there were extra coffee beans in the freezer if needed. The beer on tap was a fun addition!

    Beautiful cabin in the mountains. Very cozy, tastefully decorated, with wall to wall windows showcasing the surrounding forest. Great deck with clean hot tub. Fully stocked kitchen to cook, and the benefits of coffee and beer. Comfortable beds. Could not ask for more. About 10 min from town. Absolutely no awkwardness having the owner downstairs, and he was actually extremely helpful when we had an unexpected hailstorm that broke our windshield

    Wow is all we can say! This property is more beautiful in person than it is in the pictures. The details, from interior decorating to the kitchen stocked well with quality cookware, are spot-on. We really enjoyed the hot tub for an early morning soak and sitting on the deck which affords views of the mountains and countryside. This time of year the hummingbirds were so prevalent that they often came right up to us! It is in a convenient location, not far from Boulder or Golden. We drove into Nederland and Blackhawk to eat and neither was a very far drive. One word about getting to the house - be prepared for a steep grade on a dirt/gravel road with moderate ruts.

    Absolutely beautiful property and fully stocked for everything you could want to do. We were locals who just wanted a night away and this was beyond perfect. Host was amazingly kind and helpful. Do wish the stereo system was updated as it only takes CD's or an AUX cord but of all the things, that is hardly a complaint. We were able to watch our favorite show on the Apple TV, had gorgeous views off the back deck without a neighbor in sight, and the hot tub was absolutely serene. Would absolutely book again.

    A warm, comfy, well put together home, over looking the forest.Hot tub, Sauna, Deep stand up bathtub, Home made beer in Kegerators ready and waiting to be poured (really good beer by the way :) Amazing to go to bed surrounded by forest and then waking up to blue skies and trees waiting to greet you. In our case...snow filled trees and snow fall. Magical!Randy, did an amazing job building this house. A lot of love went into it....we know that because we are home builders. Kudos to you Randy!We were on a 3 week ski vacation. This stay was one of five places we stayed. The other were ski in and ski out. All really nice condos. But, this was our favorite place to stay. It was just wonderful! It was a 20 minute drive to Eldora Ski Resort. It didn't matter because we always looked forward to coming home to this house.Randy was a perfect host...we never saw him but he was there if you ever needed him.Thank you, Randy * The King Family...from Malibu, Ca

    My husband and I had an amazing stay at Towering Pines. It truly is a mountain retreat! Well managed and clean. In fact, it’s probably the cleanest rental property we’ve ever stayed in! Very comfortable, relaxing and truly a getaway! We were able to enjoy nature and even had two bull moose walk in front of the cabin one evening! We loved the architecture, hot tub, and true uniqueness of this amazing property. We will definitely be back
