Stayed here while visiting family in the area and was the perfect setup for what we needed on this trip. Location was great for access to Golden, Black Hawk, Nederland, and both the James Peak and Indian Peaks wilderness trailheads...and it is just up the road from Golden Gate State Park. Very clean and well furnished, and the kitchen had everything you could need. The inside is very spacious and comfortable with plenty of room for larger families to move around. It does sit close to the road but this was not a problem as it is a mountain road with limited traffic. Nice patio as well for enjoying your morning coffee and the fresh clean air at that altitude! We would stay here again in future.
