Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
The house was fine. Safe, quiet, and generally as described. But the photos were taken from generous angles—maybe enhanced or just old. The place was free of garbage, but the floors and sofa had dog hair from previous guests. There were no paper towels or napkins, and only one towel per person for the entire stay.The home itself needs some attention. Doors that don’t close, switches that don’t work, and a few fixes a handyman could knock out in an afternoon. The coffee maker and shower heads need descaling.It’s also a home on a mountain with no view. That’s important to know before you book.

Great location/house with access to everything in the area

My wife and I went up for a long Valentine's weekend. We had a great time with the house to ourselves. Excellent access to Nederland and Eldora skiing and a cross the street from Rollingsville's Main St. Clara (host) was very helpful and responded quickly.

The location is great! Within an hour of almost everything. Drive to Nederland is super quick and easy. The wrap around balcony off of master bedroom was worth all of it! Communication with the host was always fast and easy. Plenty of room but maintained the coziness we were looking for. We are so happy we chose to stay here!

Mountain getaway

Rented this cabin for a girls snow trip; this was our first time in Colorado (from the South). It’s about an 1.15 hrs away from Denver and 20 minutes from Black Hawk which had many restaurants and casinos. The roads driving to the house wear clear of snow and fairly easy to navigate. You will need a AWD car to navigate these areas during the winter. The cabin has spacious rooms and is very clean. I appreciated the two full bathrooms. Clara the host was responsive and attentive to our inquiries.

The owl chalet is absolute gem and delight to stay in! It is such the most perfect and wonderful mix of modern comfort in a beautiful cabin, which is exactly what we were hoping to find in our trip. Incredibly well put together, organized, and designed so lovely! Not to mention we found beautiful lighting in the fall.

Wonderful cozy cabin the mountains

We really enjoyed our stay. Especially the pizza restaurant TOSS and brewery at the cross roads in Rollinsville a 5 min. walk away. The cabin was cozy and had all the appropriate amenities. It doesn't have A/C but cools off in the nights and there are lots of windows and fans. We found we were centrally located between Rocky Mountain National Park, Black/Hawk/Central City/Idaho Springs, Boulder and a little closer to Roosevelt National Park, Golden Gate Canyon Stat Park so there was lots to do, hiking, biking, horseback riding

Unique & VERY clean cabin located close to Boulder & mountain towns. Nederland is less than 10 min away and has great restaurants & views. Second floor with bedrooms gets a bit warm in Summer (need to leave sliders open overnight for cooler air) but overall we had a great stay & had everything we needed. We had 4 teens/young adults with us (6 total) and had plenty of space.

It was the perfect home for our family. All the positive feed backs on the house was on point. There’s not a negative thing about it. It was clean and beautiful! It was cosy and inviting. After a long day of skiing, we cold hide away and cook or we could go across the street for pizzas and drinks. The locals were super friendly and nice. There are also many other restaurants, breweries/distilleries and grocery store only 8 minutes away. Clara, thank you for hosting us! You get 5 stars alone!

Great chalet - great location

It had already snowed with approximately 12" of accumulation and it continued to snow for the next 36 hours giving us about 18-24" of snow total. We were very grateful to find that the host had arranged to have a pathway cleared for us to get into the house. Because of the amount of snow that had fallen we were somewhat restricted on where we were able to go. The brewery mentioned in the description is also an excellent coffee shop and it was just a few minute walk from the house. We went there for coffee and breakfast during the worst of the snowstorm - good food and great coffee. The property also includes a fenced in area of the yard. This was a great asset for us and our pet dog. He loved being able to run and play in the snow. We loved it there.
