Peaceful Mountain Retreat in Eldora

Nestled in one of the most beautiful locations in the Colorado Rocky mountains, this retreat suits writers, academics, and nature lovers, making a great base for hiking, backpacking, and skiing and a wonderful destination after a busy day in Boulder.

In the summer months, wildflowers abound. Those who are lucky, may see moose, bear, bobcat, and fox from the windows. The Hessie trail starts 1 mile up a dirt road from the house. The house is in a central location for a variety of front range climbing areas including Boulder Canyon which is ~10 minutes drive away.

In the winter, Eldora Mountain Resort nordic and Alpine ski centers are 5 miles up the road. When there is snow pack, you can back country ski, snow shoe, or play in the snow right out the front door. Oct-Dec guests: Please expect radical, unpredictable weather including freezing blowing wind, snow, ice, sun, and 50 degree temperature swings, that you can enjoy from the comfort of a warm home.

We value diversity.

Please contact us if you have accessibility related questions or concerns.

We value sustainability and strive to provide eco-friendly and healthy amenities.

There is NO TV or STEREO, making the house a great choice for guests who are happy with wifi access only (Century Link with example download speeds between 14 and 28 mbps) or who are seeking a tech vacation.

My husband and I live on the property and are likely to be staying in the house next door (~100 yards away) when you are here. We are seeking quiet, respectful guests to share our slice of heaven with. We are happy to help in any way upon request and can offer day trip recommendations to sport climbers, hikers, and skiers.
