This road attracts off-road enthusiasts, mountain/dirt bikers, runners, and hikers. Year round, the hiking trails at Moffat tunnel, Arapahoe lakes and Crater Lakes, are popular for hiking, snowshoeing, and backcountry skiing. The town itself is home to local mountain folks and hippies. Please respect the neighbors private land here and be respectful of noise level at night.

Owl Chalet
It was the perfect home for our family. All the positive feed backs on the house was on point. There’s not a negative thing about it. It was clean and beautiful! It was cosy and inviting. After a long day of skiing, we cold hide away and cook or we could go across the street for pizzas and drinks. The locals were super friendly and nice. There are also many other restaurants, breweries/distilleries and grocery store only 8 minutes away. Clara, thank you for hosting us! You get 5 stars alone!

Perfect Stay
This home was perfect for our week long stay during thanksgiving break! Great cookware, utensils, washer, dryer, beds and bedding. Plenty of space for everyone to move around and have privacy. As others have mentioned, it’s unique and has tons of little quirky details we found interesting. We traveled with our dogs and the small fenced in backyard was perfect for potty and play time. The neighbors have dogs and we’re super friendly. There are a few neighbors around, however the homes are far enough apart it still felt private. The location was perfect for us. It’s close to hiking, skiing, coffee shop, book store, small grocery store and necessities shops. It’s about 45 minutes to Boulder with a beautiful drive along the way. If I had to give any advice for someone looking to stay, there are stairs to get to all the bedrooms. The parking area is not attached to the home and is up on top a small hill. To get to the front door you must go down a few stairs. So maybe not ideal for someone who needs walking assistance with a walker or wheelchair. One shower upstairs and a small bathtub/shower downstairs. We did need additional towels, so we had to wash them frequently. We were able to all pile up and watch movies in the living room. There’s also a lounge area near the kitchen you can visit with everyone while cooking. The owner was amazing and had great communication. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We will be staying here again!!!!
