Step into the magic of Nana's Cabin, a quintessential mountain retreat with breathtaking views stretching from Niwot Ridge to St. Vrain Mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park. A west-facing wall of windows floods the cabin with light and captures panoramic alpine scenery. Walk onto the deck to bask in the sun, enjoy a leisurely meal, entertain friends, or unwind with nature as your backdrop. Built in 1973 by "Nana" to create memories with her grandchildren near Colorado's Hidden Lake, the cabin sits on 2.5 acres. The welcoming screened front porch-with its rocking chairs, porch swing, and nostalgic kayak paddles-sets the tone for lakeside adventures just moments away. Hidden Lake offers kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing in a peaceful alpine setting. Inside, the main floor features a cozy bedroom, while an expansive loft upstairs sleeps four with two queen beds-perfect for families or guests. The recently remodeled kitchen, though compact, is smartly designed for efficient, abundant cooking. The updated bathroom offers comfort and convenience. In addition to the front porch, there's a spacious screened porch-ideal for enjoying cool mountain breezes. The cabin has a mid-century modern ceramic fireplace, specially chosen and shipped by Nana herself. It's attractive and highly functional, keeping the cabin warm on chilly fall nights. Though the cabin has been a seasonal haven for over five decades, hosting everything from romantic getaways to gatherings of 25 or more guests, it could be winterized for year-round living. Located just 40 minutes from Boulder, yet truly a world away, Nana's Cabin offers a peaceful escape from the heat and hustle of the Front Range. Explore nearby Brainard Lake and the Indian Peaks Wilderness, or head a bit further to reach the Wild Basin trailheads of Rocky Mountain National Park. Just across the Peak to Peak Highway, enjoy leisurely walks along the North Fork of the St. Vrain Creek. Furniture is included.
