Great location/house with access to everything in the area

My wife and I went up for a long Valentine's weekend. We had a great time with the house to ourselves. Excellent access to Nederland and Eldora skiing and a cross the street from Rollingsville's Main St. Clara (host) was very helpful and responded quickly.

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.

Great chalet - great location

It had already snowed with approximately 12" of accumulation and it continued to snow for the next 36 hours giving us about 18-24" of snow total. We were very grateful to find that the host had arranged to have a pathway cleared for us to get into the house. Because of the amount of snow that had fallen we were somewhat restricted on where we were able to go. The brewery mentioned in the description is also an excellent coffee shop and it was just a few minute walk from the house. We went there for coffee and breakfast during the worst of the snowstorm - good food and great coffee. The property also includes a fenced in area of the yard. This was a great asset for us and our pet dog. He loved being able to run and play in the snow. We loved it there.

Wonderful cozy cabin the mountains

We really enjoyed our stay. Especially the pizza restaurant TOSS and brewery at the cross roads in Rollinsville a 5 min. walk away. The cabin was cozy and had all the appropriate amenities. It doesn't have A/C but cools off in the nights and there are lots of windows and fans. We found we were centrally located between Rocky Mountain National Park, Black/Hawk/Central City/Idaho Springs, Boulder and a little closer to Roosevelt National Park, Golden Gate Canyon Stat Park so there was lots to do, hiking, biking, horseback riding

Nice property

The property was as advertised, but located very close to other run down properties and a long drive from anything else. The house had the amenities advertised, the only difficulties were 1. no a/c upstairs, generally not a problem I imagine, but we were there the hottest days of the year and not all of the windows upstairs had screens so we could open for ventilation. The doors in the master/ screens were either off the track or very hard to open except one. Shower upstairs had doors off the track and no water pressure. This is a very nice stay but not "luxury" for sure. The owner couldnt be nicer and the communicaion we had was just right.

Summer Getaway

We loved our stay at the Owl Chalet! The views were incredible and the house was very comfortable. We made use of the awesome kitchen and enjoyed having the screened windows open in the evening. Even in mid-June it got a bit chilly at night so no need for AC which was a welcome change for us! Some reviews mentioned a steep driveway, but to clarify, it's the road up to the property that is a bit steep. However, we had no trouble getting up it in our van, and the parking area is flat so it was easy to unload bags straight into the house. I would not want to go up the hill with a trailer or camper in the snow, but that's just me. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay and would recommend for a short summer getaway!
