Great Family Home! Hot Tub! Huge Deck! Near Eldora!! Private! Close to all!!

Totem Vista is a beautiful property! We stayed for a spring break ski trip at Eldora. It took no time to get to the mountain. Close enough to Nederland for the essentials, but far enough away to disconnect. Snow removal every morning was awesome, as the driveway is quite steep.

We'll definitely be back! Thanks for everything David.

My wife and I and her sister and husband had a fantastic time staying 4 nights in this comfortable home. The views from the deck are truly majestic! When we were at the home we spent most of our time on the large deck. The weather was so nice, a high in the 70s and lows in the 50s. Quite a reprieve from the 100 degree weather back home in Texas and Oklahoma! The home is a short 10 minute drive from Nederland, where we ate most of our meals. We highly recommend Backcountry Pizza and Ned's. Backcountry has a nice selection of craft beers on tap for $5 and their pizza is so good. Ned's is great for breakfast. The main reason we do not give this home a 5 star rating is because there is only 1 TV in the home (a small one in the basement area). It would be a huge improvement if the owner were to put a TV in the den in the main living area of the home. The furniture is very comfortable in the den and it would be very relaxing to be able to watch TV from that room and look out at the mountains. Another issue with the house is the steep stairs leading to the basement bedroom and the upstairs master bedroom, as well as to the house from the driveway (three sets of steep stairs). My brother-in-law has arthritis and had a difficult time managing these stairs. For those in good health, this should not be an issue. There is not much that can be done about the stairs. We realize the home is built on the side of a mountain and you are going to have stairs as a necessity. One last small issue is the house is located relatively close to train tracks actively used throughout the day and night by trains. On a few of the nights the trains passing by would wake us up. However, overall, we liked watching the trains roll by and this was not a big issue for us. Overall, we would highly recommend this home for its majestic mountain views and great location in the mountains near Nederland. The owner is very helpful and easy to work with.

Beautiful location to hold our Retreat. House was comfy, and the views of the Indian Peaks were stunning. Good hiking nearby and very quiet. David, the owner, very friendly and cooperative.

Ahhhhmazing! We just spent a week at this lovely home and everything about the experience exceeded our expectations!! Our clan included 3 families, with kids ranging in age from 7-18. The "dirt road" leading up to the home was a little daunting at first, but was we drove it over and over, our mini vans had no problem "off roading"! The house is about an hour drive from literally everything. We couldn't have picked a more centrally located home base! The house itself has everything you could possibly need and/or want. No need to overpack, the washer/dryer was one of the best amenities! There is a guide on the table that explains everything you need to know about the house, and local secrets (the sun dance cafe has wonderful breakfasts - share a plate, portions are enormous & delicious). Owners are super attentive, we had (what we thought was) a problem mid week and the owner had a maintenance man on the property nearly immediately (turns out we were just idiots 😬). The views from the balcony are unbelievable, there are a couple of elk that frequent the train tracks below, and you can easily hear the crick babbling. Two giant thumbs up from Themis crew!!

Totem Vista was a spacious and wonderful weekend getaway with the kids for spring break. The views were beautiful from every direction! The hot tub was an added bonus that we all enjoyed! relaxing on the deck warm & cozy with snowflakes falling down awesome! A fun break from the city without a long drive in traffic - priceless.
