About this property

Cozy Cabin Near Boulder with Wildlife and WiFi

Nestled into the earth in the Rocky Mountain foothills above Boulder, Colorado, The Chaled (Chalet + Shed) is a sunny, relaxing hideaway. It’s located on expansive land bordering the National Forest with abundant wildlife, yet just 12 minutes to downtown Boulder and 17 minutes to the ski town of Nederland. It has high-speed internet, off-street parking, mature fruiting apple and apricot trees, a small lawn and garden, and a stone patio and outdoor dining area.

You'll have the 350 square foot cabin and its private yard to yourself. It's situated on a quiet, paved road with little traffic and is part of a larger property with a single family home in full-time residence with two kids. (The main house and one neighboring house are approximately 100 yards away.)

A south-facing window seat is always the favorite spot to read or watch wildlife, and the open floor plan includes comfortable chairs, a dining table with chairs, and a fully equipped kitchen. The bedroom is quiet and cozy and has ample storage space. The bathroom includes tub and shower. The outdoor dining table with umbrella, grill, and outdoor seating overlook the property and are delightful for outdoor meals and entertaining.

Guest access
The cabin is easily accessible from Boulder via paved roads. One parking space is provided in front of it. AWD or 4WD is not necessary most of the year, but in the winter, if snow comes down, it is recommended to get up and down the mountain roads safely.

Other things to note:

The cabin has high-speed internet and cell service, depending on your carrier (AT&T seems to work best up here.) The WiFi is fast, and to use your cell phone for phone calls/texts, simply turn on “Wi-Fi calling”. Please note that there is no AC or TV.

It’s a 5-minute drive to Betasso Mountain Preserve, a Boulder County-maintained trail system for running and biking with 3-mile and 7-mile loops. In the winter you’re about 30 minutes from skiing at Eldora Resort. Rocky Mountain National Park is about 45 minutes drive.

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy guest house! Very private, quiet and well kept. Furnished with quality household items that make you feel special to be there! No TV. No couch. But a lovely thickly padded window seat to enjoy watching nature. Definitely recommend! Close to many hiking areas around Boulder

Great little cabin! Only about 15 minutes from Boulder. The cabin had everything I needed. Even though the owner's house is on the property, the cabin felt very private. The welcome treat and the luxurious toiletries were a nice touch!

Cutest Country Cabin

This is easily the best place we have ever stayed on holiday! We stumbled across it after being beaten down by expensive hotels in Denver downtown, and would recommend it strongly. Extremely good value for the price, quality amenities, very responsive hosts (they even came to come fix our tap within 30mins once it leaked!). Perfect location 15min drive up the canyon from Boulder. Kitchen is very well stocked with herbs, oil, microwave, oven, fridge. We were devestated to leave and will be coming back!

We had a wonderful stay in this delightful cabin! Charmingly tucked into a hillside, with large windows and a bright window seat from which to view the sunrise and wildlife – we saw a fox and deer. We were greeted with chocolate and lip balm, a luxurious bed, everything we needed in the kitchen and a fully appointed bathroom. We had a truly lovely stay and would definitely stay here again. Its high up some winding roads which we quickly got used to and is a short distance from Boulder. A definite 5 star experience! The pictures don’t do it justice!

Holiday Getaway

Booked a holiday trip for myself. The Chaled was perfect as a solo traveler or a couple. Very clean, quiet, and stylish. Loved that I could head down to the Betasso Preserve for trail running. You’re only about 15 minutes down the canyon to Boulder. Well maintained winter roads. I would book again!

About the host

Host profile image
We've lived in Boulder, in this home, since 2008. We love the peace and slow pace of the mountains, with the proximity to Boulder and all of its abundant amenities: great restaurants and coffee shops, cute boutiques, wandering along Pearl Street mall, and hiking on the many many trails surrounding town.
