Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was clean, but dark; even with all the lights on, it was hard to see. Only one of the outlets worked to plug in a charger. The shower curtain rod was falling off the wall. Plenty of towels. The hallway smelled like people used to smoke in the hotel years ago-- just a subtle hint of old smoke.

Boulder Creek Lodge

The breakfast options were a bit disappointing. No eggs and bacon, just waffles and oatmeal for hot options. However, it is a beautiful location along side the creek and there are plenty of restaurant options within walking distance. The King room was spacious with a creel-side view and very comfortable.

In the quaint western town of Nederland, CO west of Denver we discovered this lodge with the Boulder Creek running adjacent to the inn with many nostalgic games to play. Had incredible decks and the lodge is full of log cabin furniture and was a superb get away with our family! I truly enjoyed the Joann's unique breakfasts and Aaron's attention to details.

This property is the perfect place to stay in Nederland! It is walking proximity to great restaurants and even a grocery store if you need it! Just to the side of the property you can pick up a nice walking trail that leads you to the reservoir for fishing or just a nice walk. The staff are wonderful and the hotel has a nice area over looking the town where you can play many board games that the hotel has for guests! My children loved their stay here!
Great outdoor space!

Needs new mattress

Carpet in common areas needs to be updated. The room was great except the mattress the divots on both sides of the bed were deep enough you could have hid in them. Very uncomfortable mattress. Location is great.

This was a last minute stay for us, as we had an unexpected change of plans. I didn’t have time to do any research before booking. The hotel is right on Boulder Creek and the lobby is inviting with seating and access to the patio on the creek. The rooms, however, are dated and feel dirty. And the continental breakfast (which opens at 8am) was a disappointment. They offered waffles and a selection of Costco bagels, cereal and snacks.
