Adorable Cottage in National Forest -- hiking & climbing steps from your door!

Completely remodeled and upgraded cozy cottage on 2.25 acres in the Arapaho National Forest. There's a cute little bonus shed for private, late-night conversations or a "getaway from your getaway". Relax with 360 degree mountain views and a creek flowing right through the property!

Located between Idaho Springs and Georgetown, there are nearby breweries, restaurants, and unique shops, as well as skiing, hiking, biking, ziplining, and more. (15% "Chickadee" discount exclusively for our guests at Mountain Mamas' Needful Things in Georgetown).
Also nearby … fox, coyote, bear, elk, deer, moose, bighorn sheep, pine marten, AND MORE.
NEW! Wi-Fi now included! We also have a large collection of ~150 DVDs for your viewing pleasure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin is well appointed and very comfortable. Very convenient to I-70 but in a very quiet area up the mountain. Thanks for a great visit.

My friends and I stayed at the Chickadee for a little holiday get away to enjoy Colorado and ski. We loved the Chickadee. It is such a cute home and met all of our needs. The surrounding area is so beautiful. We could see the stars at night. We really enjoyed the outdoor hang out area and the decor. Everything was clean, up to date, and just wonderful accommodations. The host was very helpful and kind and quick to respond to any questions we had.

Chickadee is the cutest, coziest rental I have ever had. We had significant snowfall and weren't able to use the porch but it looks comfortable. We had plenty of room to spread out our gear and every detail was taken care of for us. It is a 2.5 mile drive up the canyon from I-70 and we enjoyed all the nature and quiet. I hope to be back in the summer!

Cute, clean, ample space. We were pleasantly surprised to find food basics to make cooking easier - no need to buy small items for a single use.

The property was exactly as advertised, and incredibly charming. We used it as a spring board for a few ski days at Loveland, and it was a lovely little place to come home to after a long day on the slopes. We look forward to another stay in the future.

Loved this place! The location was quiet and secluded but still within 15 of two little cute downtowns. Everything was clean and they had all the amenities we were looking for - a grill, kitchen stuff, a fire pit, etc. we were able to pick up local bison and cook there which was nice! We did have a little utility issue but the manager rushed over right away and addressed it. Overall, perfect stay and we would def come back!

We enjoyed our first stay so much that we decided to book again for a ski weekend at Loveland. We love how cozy the place is, and its proximity to Loveland ski area, and restaurants etc. in Georgetown and Idaho Springs. Its a perfect home base for relaxing afternoons/evenings after a good morning on the slops. We'll be back again, for sure.
