Charming Log Cabin for Peaceful Mountain Getaway!

Our cabin is conveniently located just off the Peak to Peak Highway, Route 119, midway between the fun, gambling town of Black Hawk and the town of Nederland, gateway to the Indian Peaks wilderness, in the quiet mountain neighborhood of Meadowlake Mountain Acres. Located on almost two acres, Aspen Meadows has a geological rock formation at the rear of the property, where, after an easy hike up the pathway, you are treated to an almost 360 degree view of the surrounding mountain peaks, including the Continental Divide.

Cabin Features
Aspen Meadows' open floor plan is bright and cheery with large windows and easy communication between the living room, dining room and kitchen. A den/sunroom off the living room is another gathering place and can be closed off to serve as an additional bedroom with the comfy sofa that folds out to a queen-size bed for one or two extra guests. A wood burning fireplace in the living room and a wood stove in the dining room will keep your family warm and cozy, (wood is provided). The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to whip up delicious meals, including staples, spices, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. (Nederland's B&F Supermarket is minutes away for convenient stocking up.) If you don't feel like cooking, Nederland also has several fun restaurants and Roy's Last Shot, a family restaurant and bar, is a mile down the road.

The master bedroom has a comfy queen-size bed, an en-suite bathroom and French doors which open onto a private deck. The second bedroom also has a queen size bed and the kids' bedroom is equipped with a bunk bed and two twin beds.

More Good Stuff
In addition, there is a full bathroom near the kitchen and a washer and dryer, with detergent, for your use. On the main deck in the front of the cabin, there is a gas grill, along with plenty of seating, and the crisp, delicious mountain air abounds! Our cabin now has free WI-FI for guests! Also, a flat screen TV with DirectTV, a DVD/VHS player, an extensive movie library, an additional TV with a built in DVD/VHS player and plenty of books and board games to enjoy while on vacation. Kick back, relax and enjoy the peace!

Pets are welcome at Aspen Meadows with an additional security deposit. Although the streets leading up to the easily accessed and flat driveway of the cabin are quickly plowed after snowfall by the county, 4WD is still recommended throughout the Winter.

So Many Things to Do!
The property is one mile from the entrance of Golden Gate Canyon State Park and within easy driving distance to fabulous hiking, biking, fishing, sight-seeing, skiing, gambling in the mining town of Black Hawk, and so much more. Vacationers are within walking distance to the Gilpin County Library with free computers and internet access, and two miles down the highway is the first class Gilpin Community Center. Our Center offers an indoor track, lap & activity pools, basketball & volleyball courts, dance & fitness studio, cardio equipment, weight room, hiking trail, art studio, teen room with pool, ping pong and air hockey tables, meeting rooms, lounge, free WI-FI, seasonal events and more, all available to visitors for a small fee!

Quaint cabin in the woods
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It is very well equipped with all the necessities. We enjoyed the selection of games and the kitchen has everything you need. The property was just as described. Not fancy but comfortable and a great location near Golden Gate Canyon State Park.

A great place to stay!
"Charming log cabin for a peaceful mountain getaway" is just the right description of this place. It's mere minutes from Golden Canyon State park (our objective), and the place and setting are very peaceful. The cabin was clean, well provisioned, cozy, and spacious. Communication with Viveca was very good. We loved this place! Ed

Relaxing
The cabin was clean and well equipped. Our bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed a good nights sleep after exploring Golden Gate Canyon State Park, which is a short 5 minute drive from the cabin. Vivica is a great host and very easy to communicate with. If we travel to that area again we would not hesitate to stay at the cabin.

Beautiful property close to Denver/Boulder but still rustic and near to any type of mountain activity. Host was very responsive and cabin had many amenities. No cell service but decent WiFi and dish TV. Would stay here again - very good price - and so much to do, it’s hard not to go wrong choosing this location.

Loved the location and the kiddos loved playing on the mountain outback! Downfall was getting evicted because the house was condemned due to bad septic ☹ But Viveca was kind enough to refund part of our money since we didn't use our full stay.

Good Location
Nice location and the inside was comfy and had everything you could possibly need. Outside was a bit of a let down. Very overgrown, no views except the neighbors who had campers, cars and people coming and going. But inside plenty of room and clean. We came to sit outside, and we did but we were very disappointed. Close to town and a great little bar up the road which was fabulous! Had a great dinner and a great time there.

Peaceful and cozy
We had the pleasure of staying for nearly six weeks at Viveca and Greg's mountain home while our own home was under renovation, and couldn't ask for a more comfortable spot to spend our holidays. We loved that it had absolutely everything we needed (tons of cooking gear, blankets, fire supplies, good wifi, etc), and was quiet and surrounded by trees and had a nice walking loop to take our dog around the pond. It was also super convenient to Denver, hiking at GGC, and skiing at Eldora. Beds were very comfy, nothing malfunctioned...all was as described. We did max out the wifi during our stay as we were working remote, but Viveca was incredibly accommodating about increasing the limit for us. (Note, it's not as fast as what most folks need for remote work these days and can't handle video conferences, but was fine for most of our needs). All in all - very comfortable place, exactly as described, and great host.

Warm and Cozy
Living in Denver, I'm always jealous of folks who talk about "going up to our cabin for the weekend." This turned out to be a reasonably priced option to do just that. It's a quick drive up from Denver. We drove up through Nederland on Friday afternoon and hiked the Fourth of July Mine trail located just past the Eldora ski area. Afterwards, it was an easy 15 minute drive to the cabin. We invited some friends up to the cabin to help me celebrate my birthday weekend. One of my friends commented, "It feels like we're visiting in someone's home." I said, "That's because we ARE." I think his point was that the cabin has a nice, warm, "homey" feel to it, as opposed to the somewhat cold, sterile vibe you often get when renting a mountain condo in a ski resort town. I must admit that one of my favorite features of this place is the rock formation out back. We spent a fair amount of time up there just chatting and enjoying the 360 degree view of the Rockies. We even saw an eagle cruise by riding the thermals. I wish I had known about this place when my kids were younger. They would have absolutely loved climbing around the rocks. The cabin isn't huge, but it's plenty big enough for a larger group of people.The kitchen has everything you need to cook and serve any kind of meal. I think it would be perfect for two families with children. Each set of parents could have a bedroom and the kids could sleep in the third bedroom which has 4 single beds, including a bunk bed. LOTS of seating available for meals, both inside and out (the front porch has two tables with chairs). Plenty of towels. Nice and clean upon arrival. I wouldn't call this a luxury rental, but it's very nice and cozy and you get a lot of bang for your buck.

This was an awesome cabin and a great location for Nederland, Golden Gate Canyon State Park and Idaho Springs. Everyone enjoyed having their own space and bedrooms. Kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and dishes. We enjoyed the daily visit of the Moose and her calf and it was an enjoyable walk to the lake. We were even able to see the comet from the rock pile in the back yard. We would definitely stay here again if are in the area.

Mountain top
Overall, this is a great property. A little disappointed in the disheveled appearance of the outside - high weeds, unable to use the front yard due to recent septic work, but understandable. The inside of the house was spot on. Lots of room for everyone. Great to have laundry and two bathrooms. There was a mouse (or three). But this is somewhat to be expected considering the remote location as well. Rest assured that we took care of the issue and left the mouse traps in the junk drawer in the kitchen in case anyone else needs them. We were hoping that Thorn Lake was a bit more accessible. We were not sure where we could or could not access it due to some of the signs posted. There was wildlife galore!!! Bull moose, bull elk and even an overnight visit by a bear and her cub! The property is on the mountain, takes time to get down and near town again. Be sure to stop and grab your groceries before you head up. The prices at the nearby gas stations are ridiculous, even though convenient. Would definitely utilize the property again - met all of our needs!
