About this property

Alice's Acres- cozy log home in the woods, close to Nederland and Black Hawk

Alice's Acres is located on the Front Range only 1-1/2 hrs from DIA (Denver International Airport), 1 hr from Boulder and downtown Denver. It is in the midst of Roosevelt National Forest on 4 wooded acres (elevation 8,700 ft). The closest mountain town is funky Nederland, 20 minutes away where you can stock up on food in the supermarket and visit local stores and restaurants. At Alice's Acres you have the best of both worlds: easy access to cities and the peace of mountain living, whether you plan a romantic get-away or a family vacation.
On the first floor is a new kitchen, large master bedroom with new handmade aspen bed and organic mattress (king size), next to it is a full bathroom. The living room has a woodburning stove, TV, radio, lots of videos and a piano (try it but it hasn't been tuned lately), mud room and the half bathroom are adjacent. From the veranda one has a view of the high mountains. On the deck at the south side you can enjoy soaking in the sun, even in the winter.
Upstairs is a bedroom with 2 twin beds, lots of children's books and games, another large bedroom with a pullout couch and more books in English and German. This latter room is also used as an office and has 4 large sky lights.
There is much original artwork in the house.
Below this house is a little one-room cabin that has bunk beds in it. Children love it because it's away from the adults. However, it's close enough for the adults to see and hear what goes on. Only available during summer months.

Lovely stay in the high country
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin, relaxing and comfortable. The host was very responsive about questions and the property itself was in excellent condition and had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

Great Spot Up in the Mountains
The place was great for our family! Quiet and peaceful. You will need an AWD or 4X4 SUV as the roads are steep and can get washed out if heavy rain. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Highly recommend.

A snowy mountain wonderland
This cabin in the mountains was a perfect stay for our family of 4. Our boys had their own space upstairs and we had a large room w/full bath and a King-sized bed. We loved the wood-burning stove, cooking meals, playing games, and watching some classic movies. We didn't have a phone signal (AT&T), but the wifi in the cabin was good enough for us to stream movies, make Facetime calls, etc. The cabin is located about 20 minutes from Nederland and 30 minutes to Eldora Mountain - a beautiful drive. It should be known that this property is not really easy to get to if you don' t have the right type of vehicle. We were in an all wheel drive SUV and had a few issues when it was snowing on our first night coming in.

Great mountain get-a-way
We had an excellent experience at this property. The property was fully stocked and the love and attention given to the home was evident. Great location to explore Ned and the Front Range. We had a fantastic time unplugging and appreciating the mountains. Thanks for a great experience!

About the host

Hosted by Christel Detsch

Host profile image
I am a native of Germany and came to Colorado in 1974 as an exchange student-a lifetime ago. I have been here ever since but I go back to Europe regularly to visit family and friends.
For many years Alice's Acres was our vacation home. Now the children are older, so am I, and we want to share our house with others who love the mountains, the peace and quiet. It is still furnished more like a cozy family retreat than an impersonal vacation rental with our books, travel memories and a piano. And we still use it as a family with our grandchildren who are learning to love the mountains as we do.

Why they chose this property

There is a little cabin cabin below the house. We stumbled on it in 1977 and spontaneously decided to buy it. We had very little money, barely enough, and it wiped us out. However, we had our mountain retreat. Over the years we added more acres and built the larger home. That's how it started.

What makes this property unique

I love our house and its surroundings, the wind in the trees, the fresh air, and most of all the peace and tranquility. To step outside in the morning, a cup of coffee in your hand-it is priceless. Our home is authentic Colorado.
