Beautiful Rocky Mountain Retreat Above Boulder with Privacy & Views

Spectacular, spacious, and luxurious Rocky Mountain wilderness retreat with easy access to the entire Colorado Front Range. Explore Boulder (15 miles), Nederland (5 miles), RM National Park (30 miles), Estes Park (40 miles), or the nearby Ski Resorts (less than 10 miles to Eldora). Or simply relax in supreme comfort at home and enjoy the expansive views, natural alpine surroundings, and local wildlife. The many amenities of this beautiful property include a 4th story "crow's nest" and a discreet rooftop patio.

Ideal for gatherings and getaways, this four-level, three-bedroom house on 1.7 acres is surrounded by alpine meadows, pine, and aspen groves. The first level features a spacious open-plan living and dining area, a well-equipped chef's kitchen with a pantry, a guest bathroom, and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. A large flagstone patio with festive lighting, a grill, and a gas fireplace is ideal for enjoying those never-ending summer evenings.
Upstairs, wake up to views of the blue Colorado sky and the crowns of fir trees in the spacious master suite with an attached office space. The en-suite bathroom features a jetted tub and double steam shower. The western sun streams into two additional bedrooms, with queen beds, vaulted ceilings, and a shared full bathroom. The flex room offers accommodation for additional guests or can be used as a workspace.
Make your way up to the 4th level "crow's nest" with views of snow-covered peaks - an ideal spot for morning coffee, a sunset drink, or a cozy evening with family and friends. The attached private rooftop deck invites you to sunbathe or gaze at the brilliant night sky.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home! The outside fire pit was a real hit! The kitchen had everything we could ever possibly need. The neighborhood was gorgeous, so private, wooded and serene. We didn’t see a moose but that’s simply a reason to come back again!

Lovely Mountain Setting

Light-filled, uncluttered space with pretty views. Comfy beds and warm wood floors. We enjoyed a hike from the home down to Boulder Creek through the snow, and were visited by a moose and calf in the backyard. Easy communication and check in.

Great Location, Great Home

We are enjoyed our weekend at this wonderful house. Super clean, big kitchen, great windows. All three bedrooms big and comfortable. Great location, very close to Nederland. We enjoyed seeing the bright stars at night and the woods around us during the day. The highlight was a 6 or 7 point moose walked through the backyard on our final day.

Picture Perfect!

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting. Everything we needed to host a Thanksgiving weekend. The kitchen and adjoining great room were perfect for gathering. We easily made the whole meal including baking pies. The bedrooms had very comfortable beds with fluffy down comforters. Every day we had moose visitors in the back yard which was a thrill!

Thanksgiving in the Mountains

Was a very nice place. Easy to get to from Boulder/ Nederland, and was a quiet area to enjoy the mountains. Host was very responsive to questions, and even messaged us the first night to make sure all was well. Even saw the moose in the backyard on the first morning. Got 4-5 inches of snow over the 2 days, but road was plowed and able to get out.

Beautiful mountain home

Very clean, attractive, well-decorated house with beautiful grounds and views! We loved lounging on the sofas and talking around the fire pit. Beautiful cutlery, serving dishes, and large cutting boards allowed us to make charcuterie boards and host a really nice dinner at home. Very nice and helpful hosts. Thorough instructions and local recommendations. We loved staying here!

CU Family Weekend

Amazing home! Spacious, clean, well stocked and great location. We were created by not ONE but THREE moose during our stay who spent well over an hour in the backyard licking a tree stump. Thankfully the large windows in the back allowed us to keep our distance and watch through the glass. We will definitely be back!

A great reunion for old friends.

The place was beautiful and host responsive when we had a small issue. We had fun eating dinners and playing games with our friends every evening while taking fun day trips together. We saw three mule deer and a moose that we named "Lola" in the backyard!

Great Nature and Wild Life.

The retreat is BEAUTIFUL and in almost pristine surroundings. We saw Moose in the back yard 3 mornings and Mule Dear once - not to mention numerous rabbits, chipmunks and birds. I saw a bald eagle fly over the property one day. The house is large and immaculately decorated. Very near to the town and many hiking and scenic sites. The owners were responsive and helpful when needed.

Family Holiday Vacation

Loved this place! We came in from California with family from Oregon and Colorado to have a Thanksgiving/Christmas Vacation with our adult Children. What a perfect place to gather and have a great time together.The house was spacious with great amenities for all 6 adults. Could have easily handled more people.It served as a great base camp to explore the Rocky Mountaion National Park, Estes Park, Boulder and Nedeland.We even had the resident Moose visit us twice in the backyard. She loves eating and licking the tree stumps!We look forward to retuning again some day to explore more.Thanks Pieter & Charlotte for providing such a wonerful home for us to share memories with!

From the moment we pulled into the driveway we knew we had booked the right home for our mountain getaway vacation! This area is beautiful and this home was spectacular. We had the best time here. Very clean and all the amenities we had hoped for. Stunning views of the night stars from the open upper crows nest! After a long days hike at RMNP we enjoyed the whirlpool tub in the master bathroom. The patio was awesome as well, we had mule deer right in the backyard most mornings. Kitchen was fully equipped and we made use of the grill a few nights as well. We were about 10 minutes from Nederland, 30 minutes from Boulder and roughly 55 minutes from RMNP using the Peak to Peak highway. You will not be sorry staying here. Pieter and Charlotte were amazing hosts and quickly responded to the few questions we did have. All five in our group had an amazing vacation and it all started with this amazing home! In my own opinion it felt like a nicer mountain home then I deserved to stay in. From here on out this will be our vacation home each time we're in the area.

Everything we wanted!

From the start, this was an excellent choice. The owner Pieter was very accommodating. The house was wonderful, clean comfortable and exceptionally decorated. It had everything we needed. Yes, the location is at 8200 feet and a 30 minute drive to CU Boulder but the views are worth it! It allowed us to stay in a home as a family, rather than paying exorbitant hotel rates. And on the morning of our departure, we saw a moose in the yard! It was really quite a couple of dayys we will never forget. Thank you Pieter and VRBO.

Perfect for Mountain Getaway and College Visit

Our group consisted of two teenagers, two middle aged adults, and one senior citizen. We all thoroughly enjoyed the house, especially the gas fire pit and the steam shower. We picked this house because of its location in the mountains and it’s proximity to Boulder and Nederland. We had a college visit at CU Boulder and spent the most of the day there with less than a 30 minute drive to the house. The rest of our time we spent eating and drinking in Nederland (5-8 minute drive) and visiting the gorgeous Rocky Mountain National Park (about 1.25 hour drive to the Beaver Meadows gate). The hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with. We’d definitely book here again.

About the host

Hosted by Charlotte Rotterdam

Host profile image
Hi there! Pieter and Charlotte here. We've been living in the Boulder area for more than 20 years, and we love it here in Colorado!

We have two teenage boys, and we all enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the winter, and Mountain Biking, hiking, and camping in the summer. We also love traveling all over the world and have stayed in many great Airbnbs over the years.

We have a somewhat international background, as Charlotte spent all her summers with her grandmother in Europe as a kid, and Pieter grew up in South Africa, and we enjoy meeting people from different states, countries, and cultures.

We look forward to meeting you and will do our best to make your stay comfortable and help you enjoy this beautiful part of Colorado to the fullest! Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions regarding our listing.

Why they chose this property

We love the mountains in Colorado and always wanted a place where we could rest and rejuvenate and take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life - a real mountain retreat. When we found this house, we immediately knew it was the one! It is beautiful, comfortable, spacious - and most of all: peaceful! And it gives us access to our favorite outdoor recreational activities: snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, and enjoying the wilderness and the wildlife.

What makes this property unique

The house is on a 3-acre lot in a quiet, forested area with abundant wildlife. It is centrally located with easy access to Boulder (15 miles), the town of Nederland (5 miles), skiing (10 miles), RM National Park (30 miles), Estes Park (40 miles), hiking trails (accessible from the back door), mountain biking trails, and beautiful views of the Indian Peaks range of the Rocky Mountains.
