About this property

Canyon escape - cabin studio along Boulder Creek with complete kitchen #1

Please also see sister studio, VRBO listing 1287289.

This half cabin is a great retreat just six miles from downtown Boulder. It is tucked along the walls of Boulder Canyon on Boulder Creek making it an ideal location for fly fishermen, rock climbers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts. Additionally, there are nearby opportunities for skiing, cycling and mountain biking, tubing, swimming, kayaking, and scenic touring.

The cabin is divided into two private studio apartments, each with its own entrance. The setting is wooded and includes gardens, a wood stove for campfires and outdoor cooking, and access to enjoying Boulder Creek.

There are three cabins on our property. We live in the first cabin, so we can answer guests' questions and quickly attend to guests' needs.

Our cabin is a good base camp for exploring Colorado with proximity to:
Eldora Ski Resort - 14 miles
Indian Peaks Wilderness - 18 miles
Historic casino towns, Blackhawk and Central City - 28 miles
Red Rocks Amphitheater and Performing Arts Center - 35 miles
Denver city attractions - 36 miles
Rocky Mountain National Park - 39 miles

Boulder Canyon is a magnificent natural attraction connecting the plains with the peaks of the Rockies in a short distance. At the entrance to the canyon is a park featuring enormous red rocks tilted vertically with spectacular views of the Boulder Valley.

The Boulder Creek Path, popular with cyclists and hikers, follows the creek for several miles in the canyon. A couple miles above our cabin is scenic Boulder Falls and the dramatic cliffs of The Narrows. Popular destinations for rock climbers are throughout the canyon.

Public transportation stops adjacent to our property for travel up the canyon to Nederland and Eldora ski resort or down the canyon to fine dining, boutique shopping, and entertainment in Boulder.

Jeff is a biologist and has traveled extensively around the state. He will be delighted to help you tailor your explorations and adventures to your interests. He is also familiar with the natural history of Colorado.

We welcome guests from all backgrounds and orientations. And we love to share our beautiful state with international visitors!

Cute little getaway!

Our stay at the Canyon Escape was wonderful! The location was just 15 minutes inside the canyon from Boulder. Was perfect for a couple’s getaway. Only 2 minutes away from Boulder Falls too. 1 hour from RMNP and about 1.5 from Colorado Springs. Cynthia was very hospitable especially when we had unexpected winds come through. No cell service, only WiFi. There was a small tv available. We wished we had brought a Fire Stick.

Beautiful location right along the creek

Quaint cabin right on the creek. Close enough to town but far enough away to feel secluded. Hostess was amazing. She had a bakery goodie waiting for us with a nice card, wishing us a Happy Anniversary. I would definitely stay again.

Adorable Rustic Cabin

This place is a gem! Immaculately clean and cozy. I felt like I was in a cabin in the middle of the forest even though I was only about 20 minutes from downtown Boulder.
