It is a very cozy home!! We loved our stay here. The stove heater was great, it really warms up the living room when cold. We enjoyed all the outdoor seating as well. Some trash from past visitors was left in a couple dresser drawers, but it’s not a big issue at all. We threw it away. Overall a great stay and we would stay again many times! Our dog loved the outdoors and the fenced off area.

We went skiing at Eldora and had a great time. Fully equipped kitchen with sharp knives (rare). Newer pots and pans (nice) Thought the kitchen could use a tea kettle and a new can opener. (minor issues) Nice to have a coffee grinder and French press. Coffee maker made warmish hot coffee. Thanks, Clara

Clean and tidy chalet. Well equipped. New Samsung kitchen appliances and reliable Starlink internet. We had some cosy nights by the fireplace watching movies and enjoying grill on the patio. Property is very well maintained and welcoming. Just 20 min away from Eldora skiing zone. Remember to keep yourself well hydrated, recommend to get some electrolyte soft drinks and do not hesitate using humidifiers kindly presented at every bedroom as air is extremely dry, especially while heating the house. We enjoyed our ski getaway at the Owl Chalet and highly recommend! Thank you!

Cozy cabin with gorgeous gas, burning potbelly stove! Very comfortable stay and the large dog run was a game changer – photos of surroundings make it appear to be a little more isolated than it actually is. Be aware that your neighbors are very close by and that it feels more like an industrial area than a mountain neighborhood.

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.

Our stay here was very nice. The area was very quaint. Obviously the scenery is spectacular. The house was very charming, as well, with plenty of space to move around. There was lots to explore in the immeadiate area and the Owl Chalet was a relatively short drive to the surrounding Denver area. I would love to go back to Owl Chalet some day.

Needs thoroughly cleaned.

I wish I could leave a better review but I want to be honest for other renters to be aware. This would have helped me make a better decision for renting. House was dirty in many of the rooms. Starting with kitchen sink and surfaces. Splatter marks on surfaces and walls. Floor was dirty from spills, not by us. Refrigerator was dirty along with freezer with bugs. Very dusty throughout. Couch pillows covered with dog hair. Bottom bathroom with lots of spiders and a rug trying to hide some flooring issue. Upstairs bathroom with rug in front of toilet hiding another floor issue. Bathtub shower insert felt like it would cave in from standing in the middle. Shower head could be nice but covered with lots of scale build up. Shower handle very loose and hard to set to good temp because of be so loose. Shower door part is off and are very loose swinging. Vanity faucet was dirty from prior renter. Upstairs floors had long black from another renter along with a leftover drink bottle under bed. Rooms were at 78 degrees when we arrived at 6pm day of checkin. Got them to cool down to 70 by midnight and use of box fans provided. East bed was hard but other two beds were comfy. All rooms had multiple bugs crawling or flying around. Neighbor dogs bark a lot during day and evenings. I honestly could not cook a meal in that kitchen. Too dirty. Good things to say; plenty of hot water, go out on balcony around 3am to see massive amounts of stars, town pizza place has good pizza and great service.

Our experience at the chalet

During our stay, we appreciated having plenty of bath towels, a large kitchen table, comfortable beds and the home’s walkable location to town.However, we were disappointed to arrive and find knee high grass directly outside the home and in the fenced area. There was also a lot of trash in the fenced area and the mat was under the dirt. The patio furniture was dirty and the patio needed to be swept. The dryer was full of towels that needed to be folded and put away. There was an odor in the master bedroom that over a few days I discovered was a urine smell coming from the carpet by the window.We understand this is an older home, but it is in great need of updates and repair with flooring coming up and trim pieces broken or missing throughout. With some care and updates this place could be great overall!

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.
