5 Best Chalets in Golden, Colorado for a Cozy Getaway

This is a lovely apartment in the walkout basement of our home.
Family friendly, spacious 800sf, forest-facing, mountain escape.
Surrounded by beautiful views, a short walk/ride to the state park, and tons of trails and scenic adventures.
Nestled among pines & aspens, between 4 historic mountain towns.
30 mins to Golden, Boulder, Nederland/Eldora ski resort. A short drive to coffee shops, delicious restaurants, and boutique shops.
Perfect for mountain biking, hiking, writer's retreat, family adventure, and retreat getaways.

While the space has been remodeled, it is still a mountain home. The basement stays cool in summer without A/C, and we operate heat on very expensive propane and space heaters. We do ask guests to layer up, use blankets, and try to conserve energy.

Wildlife, including bear, mountain lion, moose, deer, and rodents are common. You may see an occasional spider, field mouse, etc. So if these concern you, our place may not be a good fit.

Please open the photo gallery for detailed descriptions of the space.

- "The accommodations were perfect for our group. The beds were comfy, shower was very nice, kitchen met all our needs. We would stay again!!!!" - "This place is located in a mountainside neighborhood roughly a half hour drive to either Boulder or Denver making it a perfect place to stay in the mountains yet not too far from things to do. Very clean, spacious. Bathroom with toilet is separate from shower which we liked as it allowed us all to get ready quicker. Perfect place to escape the heat of the summer (we went in early August when Boulder and Denver were in the 90s and it was high 60s during the day in the mountains). Would definitely stay again!"
