"First time Hipcamper and A-Lodge visitor here, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re traveling to the Boulder area. The tent platforms were easy to get to and spaced far enough apart for privacy and generally a nice break from setting up a tent on a gravel pad. WiFi was stable throughout my visit and I was able to get some work done before heading home."

The first time I saw this beautiful heavily wooded 12-acre property, I immediately put in an offer. That was 18 years ago. I spent the next 11 years chasing corporate goals which I finally realized were inconsistent with my soul. I started a family and decided to sell this property. I brought my then 2 year old daughter here so she could see it once before I sold it. As we drove up highway 285 through vistas each more stunning than the last, I was moved to tears by the beauty. By the time we reached the property, I knew that we would be moving back here. Nearly 3 years later, we finally moved back with 3 dogs and 2 cats in tow. We love it here and truly belong in this place we call home.

This was the perfect cabin for a family getaway. We enjoyed all the amenities: the big screen for movies, wood burning stove and hot tub. The bed was comfy and scenery pretty. I personally would have liked a normal coffee pot, but my son liked the drip pot. It was nice to have laundry onsite to wash towels.

What a magical, well cared for place. It was clear the owners thought of every special touch. We stayed in the big cabin on the property. The gorgeous views through the cabin’s endless windows, surrounded by aspens reaching to the sky, the wildlife, the peaceful quiet - all of it made for a fantastic and memorable stay. We will definitely be back and are so grateful!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the A frame cabin. The modern and minimalist design was really comfy- we felt right at home. There are many great places to explore and hike nearby. We enjoyed starting and ending our days appreciating the nature views in the living room. The fall was a beautiful time of year to visit and Ernest was a great host!

Weekend Trip to Aspen Forest in Evergreen Colorado
We loved spending the weekend on this property. It was exactly as pictured and was clean and comfortable. The amenities (hot tub, projector, fire pit) were also great. Hoping I can come back someday! (As a note, the cabin and the dome also on this property are very near by so I didn’t feel secluded, but I generally felt we had the privacy we needed)

This a frame was the perfect weekend get away. It’s spacious, comfortable, clean, and cozy. We loved the hot tub, pizza oven, and projector screen. All the amenities you would need to stay in and relax. The property itself is well maintained and even though there are other stays there too it still feels private and quiet.

This was the perfect trip to get a mix of the outdoors with all the comforts of home! We spent so much time using the hot tub and the projector. The kitchen was perfect to make everything we planned and we were so impressed with all of the amenities. There were other people on the property, but we didn’t even notice and had tons of privacy. The house was super clean and so comfortable! We will definitely stay again and would recommend this to anyone looking to get away to the mountains while having all of the comforts of home!

Loved this spot for our family! In the summer the setting could not have been better. It is a cabin built in the 60s so of course its not perfect but the owner has done an excellent job on making it modern and providing all amenities we needed. Be aware that it is about 25-30 mins in to the nearest town with grocery stores and restaurants. We just picked up groceries on our way in and cooked at the cabin which wasn't a problem with the well stocked kitchen. If you're coming to enjoy nature and the beauty of the Colorado mountains this is the place for you! We did have a moose that we encountered while exploring on the first day and he was feeding on the trees right outside the window the second day. It was incredible to see but just be very careful when exploring. We would recommend this place to friends and would book again if we come back to the area.

Our family of four had a wonderful time staying in the A-frame cabin, surrounded by the stunning Aspen Trees. The cabin was extremely clean and cozy.It had so many accommodations and beautiful views.
Our favorite part of the stay was relaxing in the hot tub under the twinkling lights and listening to the rain on the tin roof. We then snuggled up together for a movie night, using the screen projector. My daughters loved the upstairs room, saying it felt like they were sleeping in the trees. We are looking forward to returning in the fall, surrounded by the beautiful fall foliage and warming up next to the wood-burning fireplace.

The wildlife around the house was so amazing to see! I loved being able to create that memory for our kids. We also really enjoyed the projector and big screen, hot tub, and having a little room to explore. The beds are INCREDIBLY comfortable. Decor is well-appointed, and we appreciated the thoughtful things like providing skewers for the fire pit, an A/C unit upstairs, and modern decor.
Overall, we would recommend this rental and were happy to book through Hipcamp instead of Airbnb to save $.
Things to note :
- the only bathroom is downstairs (2 beds upstairs and Murphy bed downstairs)
- my husband is 6’1” so he opted to sleep on the Murphy bed instead of upstairs where the A-frame ceilings are lower
- there are no blinds/curtains/shades downstairs for the abundance of windows
- there were no washcloths
- no ice maker, so BYO ice bags or ice trays
- hot tub cover was very heavy/hard to maneuver
- other properties are visible and close by, but a sense of privacy is still possible
- floor has broken or weak spots that need repairs
