Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
I actually purchased the land, built the house and lived there for 5 years. Our daughter was born there in our home and it's very special to us. We moved to Boulder in 2006 but wanted to keep the home in the family and now it's available for others to enjoy. Many families have found out what a special place it is.
Why the Owner Chose Nederland
What's great about this property is that it's very private, with no drive by traffic and surrounded by national forest. There's hiking and biking trails from the home and we're close to Nederland yet it feels very remote.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Our home is unique because you can actually hear the river while enjoying the huge view of the mountains, (continental divide) Since we're surrounded by national forest, we have many animals come visit and that's what inspired the hand carved 20' Totem Pole that stands in front of our home. If you want privacy, this is it, you can barely see a unoccupied cabin through the woods and that's it, no other homes in sight.

Spring Break 2009

Our family including 3 adult children, 1 spouse and 1 boyfriend = 7 total extremly enjoyed our spring break at this property. We put the free lift tickets to very good use everyday that we were there and soaked our sore muscles in the hot tub each evening. The two living areas were nice and many games were played on the upstairs table along with a few movies viewed on the TV downstairs. We used the kitchen and grill to fix almost all of our meals which saved us on food.

We stayed at Totem Vista in August 2009. There were 9 of us...6 adults and 3 children. The house accommodated all of us and felt quite spacious. We loved the large deck, hot tub and watching the hummingbirds. The kids enjoyed playing in the woods near the house and collecting quartz rocks. We enjoyed hiking and horseback riding which was nearby. We did some hiking right by the house. Our vacation was very peaceful and relaxing. David, the owner, was friendly and easy to deal with.

We really enjoyed our stay at Totem Vista December 27-January 1, 2009. The house was very spacious and offered amazing views of the country side. The included ski passes were great and the hot tub after a long day at the slopes was icing on the cake! The owner was very helpful and easy to work with which was a huge plus as novice renters. As a family, we highly recommend an experience at Totem Vista and are looking forward to planning our next visit.

We stayed at Totem Vista on Jan 1-5, 2009. We arrived after dark and awoke the next morning to the most beautiful views. The house was so roomy we never felt crowded, even with all our ski stuff all over the place. The house was great and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The free lift tickets were great and the main reason we stayed here. We are looking forward to staying here again. Cathy Lynn

I ended up accidentally staying at Totem Vista alone, and it was perfect. It's remote, so you feel like you're away from it all, yet you're not far from Nederland, which is a terrific small town. It's a great home to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and watch the sun come up and the train go by in the valley. You'll feel like you're in the old west. The owner is also very easy to work with and quite helpful. I would definitely stay there again, and plan to.

Totem Vista is everything I could have hoped for in a vacation rental home. As a former professional chef, I found the kitchen well-appointed. I had actually brought my own cookware, but found that I didn't need it. The hot tub was nice and relaxing, the view is gorgeous, and the wildlife was fun to watch. My friends and I had a great time, and will definitely be going back!

I celebrated my 80th birthday at beautiful Totem Vista Mountain Home with my family...children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Six of us stayed for a week, others visited from Fort Collins. The views from the cabin are breath-taking. At almost 9000 ft., it literally took this Floridian's breath away! We all enjoyed watching the trains chug over the mountain, some of them with 8 engines. My son caught 3 beautiful rainbow trout in the river below the cabin. My biggest joy was feeding the swarm of hummingbirds who were attracted by the wildflowers surrounding Totem Vista. After I put up a nectar feeder I was able to hold a ruby-throat on my finger. What a thrill! Totem Vista is truly a heavenly destination.

We stayed at Totem Vista in May and saw sunshine and snow. It was beautiful. We had 9 people and the house is so large it never felt too crowded. The house is serene and the views are awesome.

Our family took a recent trip to visit our daughter who has recently relocated to Denver. I happened upon this home while looking for a place where we could stay together away from the city. What a wonderful retreat this is! Totem Vista Mountain House is a well-equipped home which is kept in pristine condition. The set-up is especially great for my husband and me and three to six young adults who joined us for a long weekend. The main floor is a great living area with a kitchen, dining areas, sofas, one bedroom and bath, and a wonderful view. The comfortable, family room, which has a complete entertainment center, was on the bottom level. With and two bedrooms and an additional bathroom, it was the perfect hangout for our kids and their friends. The master suite is on the top floor; a real retreat from the rest of the home. We enjoyed a peaceful stay and was blessed with two nights and one day of spring snow. The beauty of the setting is unsurpassed. Couple this with the pleasure of working with the owner, David; this was a perfect vacation!
Owner response:Kathy, thank-you so much! It's guests like you that make the work involved so worth it. I truly appreciate your sharing of your experience and hope you'll stay with us again, at a discounted rate of course. Sincerely, David

We have just returned from an extended weekend in the Totem Vista Mountain House. What a wonderful retreat! With my husband, two adult children, four friends, and myself, we had a good sized group but there was plenty of room to spare. This home is outfitted with all the modern conveniences but is away it all. We were blessed with snow on three days which added to the beauty of the location. I hope we'll be back!
