Note: PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR CORRECT RATES!
The unique aspect of this chalet style mountain home is its beautiful serene and scenic location. The choice is yours whether you prefer to simply relax without a care in the natural quietude under the Continental Divide of the Rocky Mountains, or engage in the numerous mountain activities at your doorstep. The right combination of both is waiting for you. There are two bathrooms one of which is a half bath with a toilet and vanity sink. For scores of guestbook reviews please click on the menu item in the owner information section of this description.
Sip your favorite refreshment in the large hot tub, while enjoying the mountain views all around you. A baby grand, drums and guitar are included for the musically inclined. A large fireplace will keep you toasty in the winter, and gentle mountain breezes will keep you comfortable in the summer. There is a large living room ceiling fan and a circulating air fan from the furnace There is no need for superficial air conditioning since mother nature provides it all.
While the city of Boulder is accessible in twenty minutes for the normal amenities such as dining, theater, music, sightseeing, and shopping, - - - the town of Nederland is only ten minutes away for satisfying basic needs. Sugarloaf Mountain Rd, which will bring you to the house, is maintained year round for safe access and driving. (By the way, the route that Mapquest type programs usually designates for you is actually twice as long as the local route.) Directions for the local route are included in the Registration materials you will receive.
Ski resorts are within ten to ninety minutes away. Mountain Lakes, fishing, hunting and camping are just minutes away. Be it summer or winter activities, this site offers it all.
Small special occasion 'events' like birthday parties, showers, weddings may be held here with the owners approval only. Contact owner for rates and info.

About Claude 'Larry' Fox
A Colorado native, I've lived in all parts of the state. I know what I love about Colorado and I spent years searching for the location that has it all. Well, when I found this home, I spent one hour without saying a word looking it over, then when the owner said 'What do you think?', I said 'Sold.' And I've been sold on it ever since. I actually get excited with the thought of vacation renters enjoying my place. (No, I do not stay here when it is rented to you.) I love sharing the specialness of my home. Everything special about Colorado is within immediate reach from this location. The dramatic and rugged wilderness of the Continental Divide, to the cultured sophisticated amenities of the City of Boulder. Anything you're in the mood for is only minutes away.
Claude 'Larry' Fox purchased this chalet in 2003
Why Claude 'Larry' Fox chose Boulder
As I said in my profile, I bought this home because in itself and in its surroundings, it constitutes the best of Colorado. This is my home and not merely a 'rental', but of course I do not stay here when I rent it out to you..
What makes this chalet unique
In the summer I love the balmy gentle warm breezes so much that I never want to go to bed.
In the winter the snow is beautiful and the occasional moose and elk herd that surrounds the house is a real treat to see.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a delightful stay at your place (minus the beating I took at Scrabble!). What a perfect oasis - the views alone brought some pure peace I was looking for. Thank you!

Reviews
Excellent!

a perfect mountain getaway
this place was all I hoped it would be and then some. we loved the beautiful drive up, the feeling of being quite remote while still not to far from town, the views stargazing from the deck and watching the hummingbirds, the proximity to quirky Nederland, the roaring fires and the hot tub, and the musical instruments. I had a perfect slumber party weekend with my person. the welcome basket was a delightful treat as well. thank you, larry! we hope to be back.
An Awesome Getaway
Thank you Larry!
If you want a quiet retreat to get away...this is it! The place was very clean, the views were spectacular, the stars at night were even more spectacular, and the hummingbirds...the hummingbirds were everywhere.
This is an amazing place. Next time we'll bring the grandkids...there's plenty of room...very spacious.
Thank you again Larry for a fabulous memory. We will see you again

Great mountain house in a beautiful location
Very secluded and quiet, this mountain house is perfect you and your friends to have a relaxing weekend and enjoy the Rocky Mountains. Boulder is just a 25 minute drive down the road as well. Thank you Larry for the great hospitality!
A quiet getaway complete with a hot tub and humming birds
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. With three small dogs and two teenage boys, it was a perfect fit butted up to National Forest for lots of hiking and exploring. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Larry was a pleasure to work with and the caretaker Jeff helped me get in the house when I locked myself out. Even the neighbors were amazing!
Secluded buy yet close to things we wanted to do
We reserved the Fox's Den because I wanted to be out in the mountains, but yet close to some of the things the area offers. This place offered it all. We did some hiking in near Estes and biking near Boulder. Both within an easy driving distance from this place.
Thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub which was a nice amenity after hiking and mountain biking.
Thanks Larry for sharing your place!
Secluded cabin with wonderful views!
My friends and I had a wonderful time. The place is really nice and the owner left us a basket of fruit and wine. Really enjoyed staying for the weekend!
Map
Cross Country skiing and Snow-shoe hiking can be done out of the house on National Forest Land where there are old mining and logging roads which provide a good path for these activities. A trip down Boulder Canyon is a worthwhile and scenic ride. There are brooks, rivers and lakes in the area. Rocky Mountain National Park is nearby as are old mining and gambling towns like Central City and Blackhawk. Hiking will provide beautiful views of the Continental Divide and Rock Mountians.
