About this property

Boulder Best City + Nature w/ Lake & USFS Trails

  • It hardly gets any closer to both Boulder city and NatureRx driven lifestyle with our lake front cottage only 8 mi. up legendary Flagstaff mountain from historic Chautauqua National Historic Landmark and its world renown trails and canyons . Our cottage is a unique opportunity to experience the best of the great Colorado Outdoors! Faces Roosevelt National Forest and the Flagstaff mountain top gem of Gross Reservoir providing one of a kind views of both water & the surrounding foothills.

    THE SPACE:
    Home features a welcoming open floor plan, charming kitchen, dining area w/ those views! Sunken living room opens to large brick patio for indoor/outdoor living! Three bedrooms and a family room that can serve as a fourth sleeping area can accommodate up to ten guests in mountainside magic (6 guests are allowed w/ the reservation and extra guests are 50$ per guest per night). Charming cozy interiors with majestic views and a provide more than adequate space with our large lawn space and outdoor playground.

    FIVE FAVORITE FEATURES:
    Majestic views of mountains and lake make you feel you are a bird in a tree nest!
    Walking down the hill in front of the house with inflatable paddle boards backpacks (we have two!) and launching right on the sandy shore!
    Walking the many national forest and Boulder county trails around the house!
    Family bonding in our therapeutic round jacuzzi under the stars!
    Grilling your favorite meal on the large patio facing the lake!
    Taking paddle boards to the many inlets of the lake and the famous Forsythe Canyon Creek Falls (you can walk to them from the house as well along the perfect Forsythe Canyon Creek Trail)!
    - yes, yes, yes!
    A quick jaunt to the best shopping and restaurants in town just 15 minutes down a most spectacular mountain car ride! Going up and down Flagstaff mountain is not a drag but an awe like experience in itself!
    *THREE NIGHTS MINIMUM RENTAL (BUT DO INQUIRE FOR EXCEPTIONS)

    Other things to note
    *PETS ALLOWED WITH PRIOR DISCUSSION WITH OWNER AT 50$ PER DAY PER PET
    Small Parties and events allowed with extra event footprint fee depending on size

    NOTE: This is my private residence and is decorated and set up accordingly. Guests can benefit from the extra personal touches and use of ample kitchenware and are invited to use what is in the pantry for spices and condiments. The home includes thousands of books and valuable art as well as a 40k piano that we respectfully ask guests are mindful about. Please understand this is a national forest lake cabin and not a “luxury” home which entails there is wildlife, there are insects such as wild bees, grounds are kept with native wild grass, etc! Thank you!
