Cabin at Pickle Gulch- a charming cabin with mountain views.

The Cabin at Pickle Gulch is centrally located at a gateway to outdoor sports, skiing, hiking, biking and off-road trails, great restaurants and gambling in Black Hawk, and artistic/historical events in Central City. Ample parking is available on the property. The small cabin has hand-hewn oaken floors and craftsman-made counters. Central heat and air conditioning maintains a solid 68° (or your choice) even in the stormiest cold times or sunniest hot days. Large windows on all sides, and especially south-facing, offer long views of meadows, forest, hills, mountains, with blackout curtains for sleeping and privacy. At nearly 9000 feet, you will watch the changing high-altitude weather in comfort and amazement. There is cozy fireside seating by the smart television which offers you Dish cable including local Denver channels for news, sports, weather, plus. Fast Starlink internet allows you to work remotely, enjoy gaming, and use your own streaming services.
The kitchen is complete with all the basics you need to cook meals. The sun-room has a washer/dryer. The two bedrooms each have a queen bed. Organic hemp bedsheets are our choice, paired with comforters, extra blankets and pillows. Coffee of course. The bathroom has an open shower design and amenities.
Two decks, front and back, offer seating, the hot tub, and the barbeque grill. Beyond, a trail on the property lets the pups (on leash) or children walk and explore. The pond is under renovation at this time, (thank you for your understanding- we will finish when the ground unfreezes).
Wildlife is often heard and viewed because right up the gulch lies the Pickle Gulch campground and open spaces with mountain bike and off-road vehicle trails.
This is your spot for a romantic weekend or extended family stay. You have easy highway access to Scenic Highway 119. Take I-70 to zip up to Arapahoe Basin for skiing. Eldora Ski Resort, a great grocery store, and much more, is in nearby Nederland, 23 minutes away.

Perfect for a get-away weekend!

This cabin was the perfect space for a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Gorgeous property and lovely home, all the privacy, and the hot tub was such a treat.

Perfect little getaway

My husband stayed over the holidays with friends and it was perfect! If anything the listing doesn’t do it justice, it had everything we needed and more. Lots of nice little walks/hikes in the area and the fireplace was perfect for staying toasty when it snowed.

We really enjoyed our stay at Jane's cabin. The cabin is a short drive up from the main strip in Black Hawk. The home was exceptionally clean & we have no complaints. Will definitely be back

Great Getaway Spot

The house is exactly as advertised. It's in a very quiet neighborhood (you can see other houses but they are not near you). It was a perfect getaway and close to several Colorado attractions!

Cute cabin in the mountains

Very enjoyable and quiet cabin. Loved the hot tub! Beds were comfortable and beautiful kitchen. We watched Deer, Chipmunks and rabbits on the property in the evening while there even though we were gone every day hiking and exploring. Would stay here again!

Short Staycation

Our stay was great! Easy to get-to location, nice views, and great property! The hosts were super responsive and helpful, and left a detailed "stay guide" to help figure things out. Based on nature access nearby, I would highly recommend visiting during the warm months. I would consider renting this location again if we stay in the area again!

Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. All the amenities were quality, and were as advertised in the listing. The cabin was immaculate and the little touches, such as the welcoming ambiance, were greatly appreciated. Kudos and props to the host. We would happily stay here again.

Cozy Cabin

The property was tidy and clean upon arrival, a warm welcome after a long days travel. Returning to the cabin after each day of adventure felt just like home. The hot tub was a great way to relax and unwind so we could do it all again the next day. A perfect place for a getaway. I would book it again if I ever come back to the area!

Amazing

We loved every bit of the cabin. The little touches added so much more to our stay like the eggs and cofffee left for us to use. The chocolates on the pillow were a huge hit as were the specialized soaps. The extra toothbrush and paste were especially appreciated since we forgot our toiletries. We can’t wait to return on a special getaway.

Great place in the mountains!

My friend and I truly enjoyed staying at this cute cabin in Black Hawk. The home is rustic and very clean. We especially loved the hot tub (and the comfy bathrobes were a nice touch!). The views from the cabin are beautiful. The only drawback is that (while we were staying - mid-August 2024) there was a large backhoe in the yard along with pieces of concrete and some tarps (clearly the owners are doing some work on the outside of the property). So that was an eyesore. But otherwise this place was so charming.

Summer in Black Hawk

We really enjoyed the house and the surroundings. The house is very clean and beds ultra confortable. The kitchen is nicely organised and beautiful sunset views. Maybe it would have been even nicer to have a kettle to boil tea water and the coffee machine did not hold coffee warm very long. But those are very minor improvements to consider. We loved the big storage ottoman in the living room to help keep the area tidy. One of the bedroom has a relatively big storage space but the other bedroom has almost none. My husband managed to work from there and, very kindly, our host added a desk and a chair for him to work in the master bedroom. The Internet, though, is not very fast and streaming was not always easy (we had to give up some evenings) but as long as we were able to work which we were, we were happy. I really really liked the sun room to unroll my yoga mat! The outside was great for us and the children. I would have been more careful with younger children though. We found lots of nails and screw as well as a screw driver, an axe and a pick-axe on the grass. Our kids are older and careful so it all went really well. We really enjoyed the hammock but the 'grass' is still a work in progress. There is a chicken coop right by the house and the kids absolutely loved being around the chickens and we had a great way to get rid of our food waste without putting it in the trash... The house is a few minutes from Black Haw downtown and a newly open trail head (Hidden secret trail head). Nederland is 25 min drive and is a cute little town by the river with a beautiful water reservoir. We really enjoyed the pizzas from the pizzeria and the bagels from the bakery! We went on wonderful hikes almost all on the road from the house to Rocky Mountain National Park. Blue Lake in the Brainard Lake Recreation Area was one of our favorites. We also visited the old cemeteries in Central city to name just a few things that we explored. Definitely would recommend the place! (Our host in Black Hawk were great and always kept a great line of communication and I only put 4 stars out of fairness to some previous hosts in another rental that went the extra miles for us)
