Don't be fooled by the Golden address, you're way above the town in the mountains, where in the summer it's about 10-15 degrees cooler than in town. It's remote, quiet and delightful.
The hosts did some really nice extra things. They stocked the fridge with a few groceries and drinks as well as kitchenware. (Note: No dishwasher.) They supplied extra coats, sweaters and trekking poles, and even outdoor blankets for cold weather. They gave lots of handy tips about where to go and how to get places in addition to step-by-step instructions for using the hot tub, fire pit and gas grill.
The hot tub was something we used every evening after hiking/sightseeing. Great feature! They even supplied separate towels for it, in addition to the nice bathroom towels.
Sadly, we didn't get to see the resident moose, but a red fox trotted right up to us as we ate breakfast outside, as tame as a pet dog. Hummingbirds are noisy in the day and do aerial dives like fighter pilots. Chipmunks and squirrels hop right up to you too.
The bed was very big and comfortable, as was the living room furniture. Enough warm blankets, you could practically sleep outside in December!
Also, everything we wanted to do was about 1/2 hour away, including hiking trails and sightseeing in Boulder, Golden, Nederland and Red Rocks. We didn't have to spend all day driving even though we were in a remote location.
This was one of our favorite places we've stayed. We highly recommend it.
