Perfect little quirky cabin, clean and close to the Rollinsville food and drink spots. Lots of cozy rooms to hang out in, fenced backyard for our pup, and lovely views.

Great ski getaway spot

Great spot in the hills above Boulder. Close to Nederland and Eldora Skiing. Comfortable, unique property. We loved it. 4x4 is essential especially in winter

The owl chalet is absolute gem and delight to stay in! It is such the most perfect and wonderful mix of modern comfort in a beautiful cabin, which is exactly what we were hoping to find in our trip. Incredibly well put together, organized, and designed so lovely! Not to mention we found beautiful lighting in the fall. Thank you to our host for being responsive and maintaining a beautiful place for us to enjoy!

Wonderful cozy cabin the mountains

We really enjoyed our stay. Especially the pizza restaurant TOSS and brewery at the cross roads in Rollinsville a 5 min. walk away. The cabin was cozy and had all the appropriate amenities. It doesn't have A/C but cools off in the nights and there are lots of windows and fans. We found we were centrally located between Rocky Mountain National Park, Black/Hawk/Central City/Idaho Springs, Boulder and a little closer to Roosevelt National Park, Golden Gate Canyon Stat Park so there was lots to do, hiking, biking, horseback riding

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!

Short but sweet stay to Gilpin County

This well equipped house in Rollinsville made a great home base from which to explore the area. So many great outdoor activities within a short drive, we only wished we had more time to see and do more. The three bedrooms with big beds plus a well equipped kitchen (thanks so much for the complete spice rack!) was perfect for parents plus sons with wives. Make sure you get your groceries beforehand as the peace and solitude also mean a bit of a distance to a market. I would rather be close to a trout stream than a Safeway any day, though. The brewery, distillery and pizza place a short 3-5 minute walk down the road was a pleasant surprise for the young adults. All in all, highly recommended and will look for a return option next time we visit our kiddos in Denver.

Our stay here was very nice. The area was very quaint. Obviously the scenery is spectacular. The house was very charming, as well, with plenty of space to move around. There was lots to explore in the immeadiate area and the Owl Chalet was a relatively short drive to the surrounding Denver area. I would love to go back to Owl Chalet some day.

Needs thoroughly cleaned.

I wish I could leave a better review but I want to be honest for other renters to be aware. This would have helped me make a better decision for renting. House was dirty in many of the rooms. Starting with kitchen sink and surfaces. Splatter marks on surfaces and walls. Floor was dirty from spills, not by us. Refrigerator was dirty along with freezer with bugs. Very dusty throughout. Couch pillows covered with dog hair. Bottom bathroom with lots of spiders and a rug trying to hide some flooring issue. Upstairs bathroom with rug in front of toilet hiding another floor issue. Bathtub shower insert felt like it would cave in from standing in the middle. Shower head could be nice but covered with lots of scale build up. Shower handle very loose and hard to set to good temp because of be so loose. Shower door part is off and are very loose swinging. Vanity faucet was dirty from prior renter. Upstairs floors had long black from another renter along with a leftover drink bottle under bed. Rooms were at 78 degrees when we arrived at 6pm day of checkin. Got them to cool down to 70 by midnight and use of box fans provided. East bed was hard but other two beds were comfy. All rooms had multiple bugs crawling or flying around. Neighbor dogs bark a lot during day and evenings. I honestly could not cook a meal in that kitchen. Too dirty. Good things to say; plenty of hot water, go out on balcony around 3am to see massive amounts of stars, town pizza place has good pizza and great service.

Our experience at the chalet

During our stay, we appreciated having plenty of bath towels, a large kitchen table, comfortable beds and the home’s walkable location to town.However, we were disappointed to arrive and find knee high grass directly outside the home and in the fenced area. There was also a lot of trash in the fenced area and the mat was under the dirt. The patio furniture was dirty and the patio needed to be swept. The dryer was full of towels that needed to be folded and put away. There was an odor in the master bedroom that over a few days I discovered was a urine smell coming from the carpet by the window.We understand this is an older home, but it is in great need of updates and repair with flooring coming up and trim pieces broken or missing throughout. With some care and updates this place could be great overall!

It was a beautiful old cabin. Very unique. It was very creaky but that didntget matter at all. There hasn't a whole lot to do in the area but we wanted a cabin in the mountains and that is what we got! The town shuts down early. But overall we had a great stay!

Very great cabin, cozy, and has a homey feel. The other houses surrounding the cabin were a little scary and people give you weird looks when you say you are staying in Rollinsville. But no harm was done to us. We had an amazing time. Thank you

Great location/house with access to everything in the area

My wife and I went up for a long Valentine's weekend. We had a great time with the house to ourselves. Excellent access to Nederland and Eldora skiing and a cross the street from Rollingsville's Main St. Clara (host) was very helpful and responded quickly.

Mountain getaway

Rented this cabin for a girls snow trip; this was our first time in Colorado (from the South). It’s about an 1.15 hrs away from Denver and 20 minutes from Black Hawk which had many restaurants and casinos. The roads driving to the house wear clear of snow and fairly easy to navigate. You will need a AWD car to navigate these areas during the winter. The cabin has spacious rooms and is very clean. I appreciated the two full bathrooms. Clara the host was responsive and attentive to our inquiries.
