The Mountain Lookout
Welcome to The Mountain Lookout, a tranquil and luxurious escape nestled in the mountains of Boulder, Colorado. This modern cabin is the ultimate getaway for couples and individuals seeking seclusion, tranquility and inspiration. With a 17-foot-tall glass wall, the home is designed to immerse you in stunning panoramic views, whether you're lounging in the living room or waking up in the bedroom.
The cabin is surrounded by hundreds of acres of open space. Step outside to discover hiking trails that lead to the historic mining town of Gold Hill, where remnants of Colorado’s rich past are still visible. Inside, you'll find a meticulously crafted Douglas fir kitchen, complete with Sub-Zero and BlueStar appliances. Whether you're cooking up a gourmet meal or simply enjoying a morning cappuccino, this space makes every moment special. After a day of hiking or exploring, unwind in the cabin's hot tub, perfectly positioned to give you views of the surrounding mountains and starry skies. When it's time to relax for the night, settle into the custom-made canopy bed, built from salvaged black walnut wood. Throughout the cabin, the heated concrete floors provide warmth and a cozy feel, making even winter stays a delight. The Sugarloaf Mountain Lookout offers an experience that blends modern luxury with nature’s beauty, creating the perfect environment to connect, unwind, and feel inspired. Please note that the mile long access road to the home is a steep and rough dirt road and a 4WD or AWD vehicle is required (high clearance isn't required). In the winter months, guests must carry chains and be prepared to use them. While the road is plowed once per day during storms, if chains are required to make it the last mile to the cabin, guests may park at the bottom and use the provided chained utility vehicle.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.

We had an amazing stay at the Mountain Lookout! The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the space itself was spotless, thoughtfully stocked, and had everything we needed for a true weekend getaway. Nat was an incredible host—so communicative, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions. One important note for future guests: the road leading up to the property does require AWD, so plan accordingly. We truly loved our experience, will definitely stay again, and can’t recommend this place enough!

Awesome place!
This is a fantastic place for a couple to stay! Not far from boulder & the view is AMAZING! Nat was very helpful & even scraped the road for us after it snowed so we could navigate the driveway safely. Thanks Nat!
You won’t regret staying here. Looking forward to staying again!
