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 has ornamental fish, and attracts birds and wildlife to the area.
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.

We absolutely loved the Cabin at Pickle Gulch! It was our favorite VRBO by far! Jane was responsive, super accommodating, and so helpful! We loved the recommendations of places in the area and the history of it all- we loved Nederland! The cabin has all of the perfect touches- decorations, comfortable beds, amazing natural lighting, great shower, and loved how well-stocked the kitchen was with everything we needed and more. The hot tub was a real treat after some hiking and loved the view of the mountains all around us! All was perfect and we didn't want to leave this little piece of paradise!

Wonderfully cozy cabin

We had a lovely 5-day stay at this cabin. It's small but had everything we needed and was a perfect base for our adventures. Hands down, this was the cleanest rental property I have ever stayed in. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, towels were plentiful, and the hot tub was fantastic. Lots of little touches throughout that make for a cozy vacation.

Charming cabin at Pickle Gulch

My daughter and I had a fantastic time at this charming, cozy, well-kept cabin with its awesome mountain view. The place was so so nice with wood floors, furniture and kitchen counters. We made good use of the amazing hot tub, for which an array of robes were supplied. And we kept the fire going almost all night with wood provided by the host. Jane is a wonderful host with great communication. We will definitely stay again!

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.

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.

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!
