Walden’s Gingerbread House - A Basecamp for Groups, Fenced Yard, Pet Friendly

This 3-bedroom mountain home in Walden, Colorado is the perfect basecamp for your North Park adventure. Designed for families, outdoor enthusiasts, hunting groups, and friends traveling together, the house comfortably sleeps 10–12 guests.

Sleeping arrangements include four full beds, one bunk bed, and a comfortable sofa bed in the living room — ideal for spreading out after long days exploring the mountains.

We provide thoughtful amenities like WiFi, fresh bedding, soaps, a hair dryer, and complimentary trail snacks and coffee and hot cocoa to make your stay easy and comfortable.

🐾 Pet Friendly
Traveling with your dog? The property features a good-sized, fully fenced yard and a kennel for advanced jumpers if you choose to head out to one of Walden’s local restaurants, or bar.

⚠️ Important note: The home has one bathroom, which works best for groups comfortable with shared space and staggered mornings — a common setup for mountain basecamps and hunting lodges.

The host seemed extremely nice, and the place was great for me and my buddies, we ended up having 6 guys that spent a weekend. 2 of the Bedrooms are spaced out a little bit which is nice if you have snorers, everything worked as expected, and there was a good pile of firewood next to the wood burner for the cold nights! Beds/pillows were to my liking as well, comfy!

Great location in downtown Walden. Easy to walk to Main Street. Great host. Felt pretty spacious. Would recommend some cups/glasses/plates in the kitchen and the kitchen needed some help with cabinet and fridge cleaning.

It was a nice, although slightly outdated, cabin. Be prepared that there is not a way of circulating air, because windows don't open, but after getting a cross-breeze, from the front and back doors, in the evenings it cooled quickly, which was welcomed after days in the upper 90s. We appreciated the space, number of rooms/beds for our group of 9. The host was great and answered almost of my questions.

Cozy historic house in moose county

The house was just what we were looking for with our trip to Colorado and hopes of seeing a moose. The historic house had the charms and quirks that come with a building that old. We appreciated the abundance of rooms and beds, and the kids appreciated the wi-fi That said, if you are looking for a rental with a well equipped kitchen this might not be your choice. There are pots and pans, but some basics like cutting boards are not to be found Even with that, we would go back again for the close access to State Forest State Park and Mt. Zirkel Wilderness.

Nice

While clean, quiet and sufficient the house is not well suited for the elderly. We had 2 over 70 in our party. The bunk beds were also a surprise.

Cozy

It was a great fit for our large family plus the mother in law. The character of the old house with the extra details of the tree for hanging clothes, white Christmas lights and a wood stove made it very inviting and cozy. The only thing that my mother in law said that would make it better is having some extra mirrors in the bedrooms so folks could do their makeup or hair outside of the one bathroom available.

Old rustic cabin

Very comfortable little house. But it is an old cabin that has been added on to, and only one bathroom. Worked great for our hunting group of 7 (5 hunters and 2 kids). Great location in downtown Walden. Property managers very helpful and responsive. I would definitely stay here again.
