Remote cabin-hike-bike out the back door. Eldora/Black Hawk 15miles.

Welcome to our newly remodeled and updated cabin, located just minutes away from the Eldora Ski area, Nederland, and Central City in Colorado. This cozy retreat features three bedrooms, two of which have comfortable queen-size beds, while the third bedroom offers a new high-end sofa sleeper. The cabin also includes a well-appointed bathroom and a wood-burning stove with central heating for your comfort.

Enjoy the modern amenities provided, including high-speed WiFi internet, cable with Netflix, and a DVD player. The upgraded appliances in the fully equipped kitchen make meal preparation a breeze, and a gas barbecue is available for outdoor cooking. For your convenience, the cabin is equipped with a new washer and dryer.

The master bedroom is tastefully furnished and features a doctor's choice mattress and upgraded bedding, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Start your day by sipping your morning coffee on the deck, while marveling at the wildlife in your own private back yard.

The cabin property is bordered by the National Forest, providing easy access to hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing adventures. For downhill skiing enthusiasts, Eldora Ski Resort is only a 15-minute drive away, offering both Alpine and Nordic skiing options.

In the nearby area, you'll find a variety of attractions to explore. Try your luck at the casinos, relax at a spa, indulge in delicious meals at local restaurants, or stock up on groceries at the nearby store. The newly built Gilpin Co recreation center offers a lap pool, a separate kids pool with a water slide, a fitness area, and a skating pond.

For a fun evening out, visit "Roy's Last Shot," a bar and restaurant located just one mile from the cabin. They offer an extensive menu, pool tables, an outdoor deck, and a friendly atmosphere that welcomes both kids and dogs. Next door to Roy's, you'll find Mid County Liquors for your beverage needs.

Surrounded by breathtaking views and adjacent to the national forest, our cabin provides the perfect escape. Explore nearby towns such as Rollinsville, located about four miles away, or venture further to Black Hawk and Central City, approximately 15 miles away. For a day trip, consider visiting Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, which are approximately 60 miles from the cabin. If you're seeking an adrenaline rush, whitewater rafting in Idaho Springs is just a 30-minute drive away.

The hosts were very accommodating and the cabin was well equipped with everything needed for a wonderful family holiday and for potential long-term stay. The location was beautiful with the national forest right out the back sliding glass door!! There were a magical trails all around behind the house. We really went to play in the snow, but I could see enjoying four seasons at this beautiful little cabin.

We have stayed here for the second time and hope we will be back in a couple years with another group of grandkids. The location is a perfect gateway for exploring less busy parts of the Rockies. It is quiet and not far from trailheads and little towns with beautiful restaurants and attractions. The cabin is perfect for a family with everything one needs for an enjoyable stay. I especially loved sitting on the porch and watching birds visiting the feeders. The hosts are wonderful!

We had a wonderful week at Don & Donna’s cabin. It was so peaceful & relaxing, just what we needed. The kitchen is very well stocked. We hiked everyday in the woods right out the back door. Our dogs thought they were in heaven! We will definitely be return renters! And Donna was super responsive to all our questions! Highly recommend staying here if you want to get away!

Absolutely Captivating

The cabin was rustic but not rough. It had all the amenities we needed, including Netflix! The beds were comfy and the location was amazing. When I opened the bedroom curtains, there was a forest, streaming with sunlight. It was the best! And Nederland, just 15minutes away, was the perfect town with great restaurants, a full market, and friendly people.
