Hiker's Haven / Close to Slopes / Georgetown

Summary:
At an elevation of over 8,530 feet and only 45 minutes west of Denver, the Hiker’s Haven is the perfect spot to experience premier year-round Colorado fun. Hiking, fishing, birdwatching, historic Georgetown tours, the Georgetown Loop Railroad, shopping, art galleries, and dining are available in town. In 30 minutes, you can be hitting the slopes in Breckenridge, or in about 45 minutes, you can be exploring Denver!

The Space:
Location is the key element that separates the extraordinary from the average, and the Hiker’s Haven has that key. From fishing in Georgetown Lake to walking tours of the town to riding a steam engine train and taking a tour of an old mine, there are no shortage of structured activities for you to enjoy. If you prefer your adventures to be unstructured, backcountry streams, ponds, snowshoeing, or even skiing at the long-closed Geneva Basin are all waiting for you just up over the hill. World class groomed slopes are only about 40 minutes away at either Arapahoe Basin or Keystone. For the ultimate concert experience, plan your stay around a show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, just under 45 minutes from your doorstep. Located in the new Bighorn Crossing community, you have access to it all.
The Hiker’s Haven welcomes you with warm wood tones and a bright, cheery color palate. The oversized windows in the living room let in ample amounts of Colorado sunshine, and the additional recessed ceiling lights will keep you illuminated well after the sun goes down. Sit down and relax in front of the television, or gather around the coffee table with a map to plan your next adventure.
The kitchen has everything you need to bring your culinary dreams to reality. Bright and shiny appliances, a double sink, and tons of counter space will inspire you to create yummy delights.
Enjoy a croissant and conversation at the breakfast bar, or pull the chairs away and create a buffet-style serving area.
For your convenience, there is a powder room located off the kitchen.
Upstairs, the master bedroom has a super-comfy king bed with a view. The nightstand lamps let you read after dark, and the ceiling fan will cool the Colorado sunshine from the giant windows. The dresser and nightstands give you plenty of room for your belongings, while there is even a dressing chair with an ottoman provided for your relaxing pleasure. The master bath features his and her sinks with separate mirrors and lighting, and there is plenty of counter space for everybody. The glass door shower is perfect for cleaning up and getting steam into your lungs after a long, exhilarating adventure.
The second bedroom also has a super-comfy bed and perfectly placed window. With carpeted floors, relaxing color tones, and tons of sunshine, the art on the wall also reminds you to slow down and relax. Inhale. Exhale. It’s as simple as that. To continue with the relaxation motif, the second full bathroom offers you the opportunity to inhale and exhale while soaking in a hot bath.
There is no escaping adventure at the Hiker’s Haven because you can literally see it calling to you from any window in the house. Book your stay at the Hiker’s Haven today!

Our neighborhood is currently experiencing the construction of a new hotel. While we do not anticipate significant inconvenience for our guests, we acknowledge that there are some aesthetic consequences that come with development in the area.
