The Gypsy Getaway a Tiny House Retreat

The Gypsy is a Tiny House providing a unique "glamping" experience. Walking distance to downtown Nederland, it is the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park offering pristine hiking trails, lakes, white water rafting, kayaking, fishing, climbing, backcountry skiing, and more! Eldora Ski Resort is a quick 10 min drive away. The Gypsy shares a common outdoor courtyard, gas fire pit, and grill with the Hobbit House rental just adjacent. Have 4 guests? Rent both cabins!

The space
The Gypsy is a "Tiny House" with a Queen memory foam mattress in the loft (extremely comfy) and a couch on the bottom level with fold-out floor mattress. The Gypsy is a unique "glamping" experience with hot but short showers. Quirky, cozy, and close to so many outdoor adventures! It is a good fit for couples or solo adventurers. Located less than 2 blocks from the heart of Nederland offering restaurants, bars, communal office space/internet, library, bank, beautiful Barker Reservoir and loads of mountain character. Nederland is a funky town just 18 miles from Boulder, 45 minutes from Denver. Sitting at 8600ft above sea level, it is the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park offering pristine hiking trails, lakes, white water rafting, kayaking, fishing, climbing, backcountry skiing, and more. Eldora Ski Resort is a quick 10 min. drive or bus ride away! The Gypsy Tiny House is a private cabin on our home property and shares a common outdoor courtyard, gas fire pit, and grill with the Hobbit House rental just adjacent. Includes all utilities and wifi. No pets.

Need space for 4 guest? Consider renting our other Cabin, The Hobbit House, with the shared courtyard area! Search for the-hobbithouse
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire Tiny House. The fire pit area out front and patio area are a shared space with the Hobbit House Rental just adjacent. You have your own parking space.
Other things to note
We have extremely fragile mountain pluming!!! Please Please nothing down the toilet other than the RV toilet paper provided. Additional RV toilet paper can be purchased at Ace Hardware in town. If the plumbing gets clogged, the guest will be responsible for all expenses accrued to fix. To use the toilet, fill the toilet basin with water with a half pull on the leaver before use. A full pull flushes and empties the basin. Continue to let the water run a while to push the waste through the plumbing.

Trap all food going down kitchen sink and dispose of in trashcan. No harsh chemicals like bleach, toilet bowl cleaner or Drain-o down the plumbing system. This is a septic system and it functions on bacteria being present to break things down.

Please keep in mind at 9000ft above sea level some of our creature comforts are limited. It makes for a great opportunity to unplug! The internet service in Nederland can go down during big storms for bits of time. We have power outages often in Nederland but they generally are remedied quickly. These things are out of our control. The Tiny will continue to have heat as there is both an electric source and a gas source for heat and there are multiple flashlights available. The shower in the Tiny is not meant for long showers. We have duel small hot water heaters to provide hot water so guest should be able to take a warm but short shower. Please note the Tiny House is not suited for individuals with limited mobility or balance challenges. The loft bed is accessed by a ladder and can be challenging to navigate.

This cozy little place was just perfect for my son and I while visiting friends in Nederland. The toilet was nicer than described (I think maybe has been recently replaced?). Very hot water, showers are about 3-4 min warm water max (just as described!) but just fine for getting clean every day. Well appointed and lovely, responsive hosts. The only recommendation I’d have is to bring an eye mask/ cover if you like to sleep in. I was happy to have mine in my travel pack. The den stays nice and dark, but if you sleep in the loft there is not a shade on the skylight and the light pours in when the sun comes up. Overall, amazing stay - we’ll be back!

Overall Amazing Stay!
It was entirely my fault for not reading the glamping description closely, but showers are SHORT. 1-2 min for me since I like hot showers, but maybe 5 min for someone else. I really wished they had a tankless water heater... Another thing to watch out for is the steep hill. Usually not a problem most days but on days of snow and ice, there may be difficulty getting to the place. Was otherwise very enjoyable. Owner was very responsive to needs and neighbors were very nice and helpful. Grading notes: -1 star removed from check-in process as it was not ready on arrival, but this was rapidly remedied. -Accuracy of online description: while everything was technically there, the wall of text was like reading through a contract... and who does that? Would be nice to have shortcomings frankly listed. -Location would get a 1 star deduction due to steep hill, but the nice neighbors helping out added the extra star back. -Property Manager: would give extra stars above and beyond the max if possible as she was very helpful, reasonable, and went above and beyond what I would normally expect.

Loved our stay at this tiny home. So well stocked with necessary supplies and kept us cozy and warm during the first snow of the season. We were in town for a show at the Caribou Room and Amy was so responsive and accommodating. We will definitely look to stay here for another concert or as home base for hiking.

While this truly is a tiny home, it was just right for my guy and I. So cozy and inviting. The little den is perfect and the loft bed was warm and cozy. The town below is so cute as is the surrounding area. We loved every minute of our stay.

Definition of Cozy
On my first visit to Nederland of many, snow dumped, which kind of surprised me at the end of April. The tiny house kept me warm and had all of the conveniences perfect for getting to know a beautiful, welcoming town. It was so good to be in the mountains, and this place is a perfect, centrally-located base.

We had a blast. The gypsy home was a beautiful little home away from home and perfect for our engagement getaway weekend. 100% recommend for solo travelers or couples. We will definitely be back!
