About this property
Mountain guest suite w/creekside sauna, patio, & fire pit. Casinos nearby!
Nestled off the beaten path between Black Hawk and Nederland at 8,300 feet elevation, this is your base camp for miles of Jeep trails, hiking, biking, and skiing.... or just relaxing in the creekside cabin sauna or around the flagstone patio fire pit.
We are also just 15 minutes from over 25 casinos in the historic towns of Black Hawk and Central City!
No matter your reason for visiting, this rustically modern log home will provide the perfect ambiance to your Rocky Mountain getaway!
***The Space***
Ellsworth Creek Guest Suite is the garden-level guest apartment of Ellsworth Creek Lodge, which may be occupied by other guests.
The Guest Suite has all of its own amenities (kitchen, bath, laundry room, patio, BBQ, private entrance). There is no interior access between the Guest Suite and the main Lodge.
Despite the home's rustic log exterior, the guest suite is very modern.
Both the living room and the bedroom are equipped with 50-inch Roku TVs and have access to Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and Vudu.
Custom beetle-kill pine kitchen with concrete counters, range, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and dish washer.
Dining seating for up to six at the table and bar counter.
The guest suite naturally stays cool (65-70 degrees) even on the hottest summer days. You will not need or miss air conditioning.
Coffee, tea, sugar, dry cereal, and oatmeal are provided.
No need to mess with keys as you will have your own access code for the front door.
****PLEASE NOTE****
The main upstairs lodge may be occupied by other guests. Ceilings were insulated and sound-dampening underlayment was installed under the wood floors upstairs to minimize sound transmission from the main lodge. However, the wood floors and HVAC ducts still conduct noise so expect to hear noise from upstairs. We do ask that all guests respect quiet hours from 9:00 pm to 8:00 am.
****Guest Access****
Gilpin County road maintenance is very good after snow storms. Better than Denver Metro most days. However, winter mountain weather can make roadways challenging at times. The driveway is short but is up hill to get out. Even when roads and the driveway are plowed, snow often compacts creating icy surfaces. Two-wheel drive vehicles may experience difficulty during winter months.
Four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles are typically not necessary but are recommended between November and April due to unpredictable weather and road conditions.
****Neighborhood****
Forest and mountain-side views are all around the property. The adjacent neighbor's property includes a scenic pond that feeds Ellsworth Creek.
Ellsworth Creek runs through the back yard of the property. Typical of mountain streams, water flow can be low in late summer and fall.
Two neighboring homes are visible from this property. Peak to Peak Highway 119 is also visible from the back yard half way up the mountain side.
Conveniently located close, but not too close, to everything the mountains have to offer:

***Phone and Internet***
Not many cell services work in Gilpin County except AT&T. However, onsite WiFi allows for WiFi calling from most phones.
The home's internet is a 37 Mbps DSL land-line service through Century Link. Service interruptions are very rare as there are no dishes, satellites, cell towers, or portable WiFi devices to worry about. The router is on a battery backup so you should have internet service even in the event of a power outage, which is also very rare.
The property does not have land-line phone service.
