We invite you to the historic & modest Happy Valley Lodge to experience a rustic/luxury stay in our newly renovated 100 yr old log cabin. We are located in the quaint, historic mining community of Eldora, which sits a few miles below the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains. The cabin is nestled in the trees on a private, acre lot and borders Boulder Creek. We're 3 miles from the quirky town of Nederland and are only minutes from The Eldora Mountain Resort, our local ski hill.
The town of Eldora is a small, alpine community sitting at an elevation of 8,700 ft and is the southern gateway into the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area. Our cabin is the perfect place to base out of for many adventures, from back country skiing, snow shoeing, hiking & camping. Down hill ski, snowboard or ski the Nordic Track at the Eldora Mountain Resort, minutes from the cabin. In other seasons fly fish in Boulder Creek, just on the edge of the property, or stroll out your door & take in our scenic neighborhood. The popular Magnolia mountain bike trails are only a few miles from the cabin & the top of Boulder Canyon is a 10-15 minute drive and host to an extensive array of rock climbs and more fishing if desired.
The Happy Valley Lodge is also a great place to just relax, escape the summer heat and take in the beauty & wildness of your surroundings. National Forest surrounds Eldora's small community on all sides & it's not unusual to have moose, deer & foxes walking through the yard.
Explore the small, earthy town of Nederland and it's unique shops & eateries a few miles away. Boulder is an intersting 35 minute drive down scenic, Boulder Canyon with its towering rock walls. Rocky Mountain National Park is about an hour drive and the historic mining towns of Blackhawk & Central City are about 30 minutes away if you want to try your luck at gambling.
Come stay at our cabin and enjoy, relax, and experience the Rocky Mountains.

We had a lovely weekend at this magical little gem! So very cozy, comfortable and clean. Had everything we needed and the host was commutative and accommodating! Hope to visit again :)
Well appointed kitchen. This cabin exceeded our expectations!! Most wonderful place to stay if you’re looking for quiet and peaceful. Host was wonderful!!!!
This is our second stay at this wonderful property! The leaves were putting on quite a show and we hiked to the overlook of the town and were treated to an amazing view. We love visiting this quiet piece of paradise. Highly recommend!!
Our family of 4 truly enjoyed our time in Eldora. We especially liked cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, spending time together by the fire, playing cards at the table, and the drive to the ski hill was nice and short. We found the cabin to be very cozy and charming, the beds were very comfortable, and we appreciated the heated floors in the bathrooms.We hope to return one day.
All five star reviews are spot on for this well appointed and toasty cabin.
Really enjoyed the area around the old town of Eldora.
Nederland is a close drive and has everything you may need, backcountry pizza has great pizza and had Pliny the elder on tap!
An excellent spot and experience. A wonderful cabin with a rustic feel but with full, modern amenities so you get the best of both worlds. Saw hummingbirds, hares, and even a moose.
Overall experience was fantastic! Great location to Nederland and Eldora Ski Area. The hosts were great and communicated very well. The cabin was just as the pictures showed, rooms were well laid out and the beds and bedding were excellent. Got to see a ton of wildlife around the cabin. We will definitely stay here again.
Fantastic weekend! Great updated old cabin in the town of Eldora tucked away in the aspens -It was a lovely visit. Cannot wait to come back in the fall to see the leaves change.
A great getaway cabin up in the mountains. Short distance fromNederland town for great food and drinks.
The cabin is rustic but has all of the comforts of home and is beautifully decorated. Perfect combo for a mountain home. Cozy and inviting!
This is actually our third time staying here and it’s just a magical place to get away. So tranquil with great hikes everywhere. The owner is so good to assure all things are in good shape. Can’t recommend this enough.
My family absolutely loved our stay here. There was so much snow, my kids and dog played for hours outside. The inside of the cabin is incredibly warm and welcoming. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all of our meals and the heated floors in the bathrooms were wonderful. Thank you so much for having us in your home, we will certainly be back!
