About this property

Towering Pines - Mountain Modern Nederland Retreat

Newly added 2-3 person Sauna! Thoughtfully designed house sits adjacent to National Forest Land affording Hiking, Mountain Biking, Snowshoeing, and XC Skiing all from the front door. Over 1600 sq. ft. of usable space, amazing mountain views, and indoor/outdoor living with an openable glass garage door and large south facing deck with hot tub. Nestled in the trees amongst towering Ponderosa Pines. Located minutes away from Nederland, Boulder, and Eldora Ski Resort. This space will not disappoint!

Since its inception, everyone that has visited this house has commented positively about the space. Owner designed, and built with the help of local craftsman, no detail was left untouched. With 15' high vaulted ceilings, south facing aspect, passive solar design, and filled with an abundance of windows, this house is flooded with light, color, and ample ventilation. When temperatures drop, in floor radiant heat takes over to provide warmth underfoot and an auxiliary gas stove provides instant heat. With an amazing view of Mount Thorodin, also know as the "sleeping giant", this 10'500 foot mountain is the focal centerpiece. Perched on top of a hill and surrounded by trees, one has the feeling of being in a "tree house".

The property is located in a rural mountain neighborhood and is very secluded as it backs up to National Forest service land, however, it is less than only one mile away from a major highway (Hwy 72) and has ample parking. It is very quiet consisting of only two other neighbors with ample spacing. Even though the property has a Black Hawk address, it is actually closer to the small but bustling mountain town of Nederland. The local area provides numerous summer and winter recreation activities and is flanked by the Continental Divide Mountain Range with protected Wilderness areas. Minutes away, Eldora Ski Resort provides world class Alpine skiing and a Nordic Center with over 40 kilometers of groomed trails.

Approximate time to local areas : 10 minutes to Nederland (nearest town), 20 minutes to Eldora Ski Resort, 25 minutes to Black Hawk, 35 minutes to Boulder, 55 minutes to Denver, and 1 hour 15 minutes to Denver International Airport (DIA).

Guest access: This house is a three story house, of which guests have exclusive access to the 1st floor ( main living area ) with separate entrance, deck, hot tub, and grill, and the 2nd floor (master suite) with spa bathroom, bedroom and adjoining balcony. The owner/host resides in the lower level of the house with separate entrance and shares no common spaces with guests. Guests also have free access to local micro brewed beer on tap in the kitchen as well as organic coffee and filtered water.

Other things to note: During winter months, an AWD or 4WD vehicle is recommended. Cell coverage is limited, currently AT&T. WiFi and WiFi calling are available as well as a land line and phone for local and emergency calls. If you do not have AT&T, it is advisable to set up WIFI calling with your provider before arrival. Check - in is anytime after 4 pm and check - out is by 10 am. Quiet hours are from 10 pm - 8 am. No parties, no shoes or smoking inside the house.

We were visiting our son and daughter in law and planned a ski weekend. The house is very interesting and incredibly well appointed. Very comfortable beds, fabulous kitchen. Very close to Eldora. Randy was so easy to work with. You’ll love staying there

Gorgeous and Exactly as Described

Absolutely beautiful property and fully stocked for everything you could want to do. We were locals who just wanted a night away and this was beyond perfect. Host was amazingly kind and helpful. Do wish the stereo system was updated as it only takes CD's or an AUX cord but of all the things, that is hardly a complaint. We were able to watch our favorite show on the Apple TV, had gorgeous views off the back deck without a neighbor in sight, and the hot tub was absolutely serene. Would absolutely book again.

Sauna and hot tub were great when the weather took a turn preventing us from going to our planned snowshoe adventure. Nice place to get away and relax.

Mountain Chalet in the Sky

A warm, comfy, well put together home, over looking the forest.Hot tub, Sauna, Deep stand up bathtub, Home made beer in Kegerators ready and waiting to be poured (really good beer by the way :) Amazing to go to bed surrounded by forest and then waking up to blue skies and trees waiting to greet you. In our case...snow filled trees and snow fall. Magical!Randy, did an amazing job building this house. A lot of love went into it....we know that because we are home builders. Kudos to you Randy!We were on a 3 week ski vacation. This stay was one of five places we stayed. The other were ski in and ski out. All really nice condos. But, this was our favorite place to stay. It was just wonderful! It was a 20 minute drive to Eldora Ski Resort. It didn't matter because we always looked forward to coming home to this house.Randy was a perfect host...we never saw him but he was there if you ever needed him.Thank you, Randy * The King Family...from Malibu, Ca

Excellent stay in Unique Cabin

My husband and I had an amazing stay at Towering Pines. It truly is a mountain retreat! Well managed and clean. In fact, it’s probably the cleanest rental property we’ve ever stayed in! Very comfortable, relaxing and truly a getaway! We were able to enjoy nature and even had two bull moose walk in front of the cabin one evening! We loved the architecture, hot tub, and true uniqueness of this amazing property. We will definitely be back

Wonderful place, Wonderful Stay

My wife and I spent the past week for an anniversary trip, and we enjoyed every minute of our time there. The home was comfortable with everything you need for your stay. The views from the living area and surrounding deck made it so relaxing while spending time whether it was just watching TV, reading a book or sitting in the hot tub. The beer tap with an IPA craft beer was a nice touch for those of us that are into that. The location was close to some good hiking trails and the small quaint town of Nederland. We appreciate the use of the property from Randy and look forward to returning as soon as we are able to.

Rocky Mountain High

This home was a great place to stay while our youngest was a summer camp about an hour away. Every morning we would open up the garage door and keep it open pretty much all day, even into the evening, just taking in the fresh mountain air. The house had everything we needed and was well appointed. Everything was super comfortable and in working order. Driveway was great for exercise as it is nice and steep and makes for a good place to walk up and down, especially if you're used to Kansas' altitude! It was a huge added bonus and surprise that we were as close as we were to Nederland which is big enough to have everything you might need along with some great places to eat, snack, and visit. We're Catholic so a church being there was great as well. I had initially thought we'd need to go back to the city for Mass, but even then, the city is extremely accessible being only about 35 minutes away. It was a short drive to head in to Arvada and play 9 holes of golf on a really nice public course. Colorado is great! Nederland is great! This home was wonderful! Randy is a great host and nice guy to talk to. I highly recommend this house and would go back in a second.

One of a Kind Zen Mountain Retreat

This property was so thoughtfully designed, and has amazing views and thoughtful touches throughout. I we enjoyed the spa robes and heated floors, the local beer on tap, and the layout that made it easy to reconnect, unwind and enjoy!

The Outstanding Reviews are Legit!

Not sure what to say that hasn't already been covered already - this place is wonderful. We ended up staying inside due to some pretty horrible weather, and we were fine with that! The kitchen is well appointed, beds and lounge areas are comfy, we even did a sauna & cold bath dip in the master bathroom. Not difficult to get to, but feels worlds away. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Stay

This was the best house we have ever stayed in. It’s truly an escape. Very clean, impeccable design, and incredible views. Three days of relaxing, reconnecting, and hanging out as a family. There is nothing not to love here. For us, what stood apart was the design of the house, heated concrete floors, hot tub, and the calm you reach when feeling so close to nature. We cannot wait to return!

Beautifully decorated home in the Mountains

We spent a three night girls trip here and had the best time. The property was very intentionally designed and decorated, and we had plenty of room to spread out. The hot tub and sauna were amazing, and we fell in love with the nearby town of Nederland. There was even beer on tap in the kitchen! Would definitely book again 💗
