FAQs
➤ Do I need a 4-wheel drive vehicle? October through
April, yes — 4WD or AWD is a must for mountain terrain. Roads can be icy and steep.
➤ Is the property pet-friendly?
Yes! We're a dog-friendly lodge. Bowls and waste bags are provided. Our own family has four-legged members too.
➤ Is the Wi-Fi reliable for working remotely?
We have Starlink Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace. The connection is strong, though occasional mountain weather (heavy wind or snow) can cause brief interruptions — it's rare but it's the mountains.
➤ What's the parking situation?
Free private parking on a large driveway fits up to 3 vehicles. Gear can be stored in the Gear Hut near the garage.
❤️ Meet Your Host
We're Mountain Way Properties — a family who fell in love with the Rocky Mountains and never looked back. We ski, hike, mountain bike, and spend as much time outside as possible, and we built this lodge experience to share that with you. We're hands-on, responsive (usually within the hour), and genuinely excited to help you plan the perfect mountain getaway.

Guest Access:
✔️ Full access to Arapaho Forest Lodge, except for a locked supply closet, garage, and basement (Gear Hut access is available through a curtained section of the basement)
✔️ Free parking in the large driveway for up to 3 vehicles
✔️ Convenient loading through both front and back doors
✔️ Outdoor gear can be safely stored in the Gear Hut next to the garage
The Neighborhood:
Set within a quiet mountain community, this home sits on wooded acreage offering exceptional privacy and natural beauty, with wildlife like moose, elk, fox, rabbits, and deer often nearby.
Backing directly onto the National Forest, you can step into hundreds of acres of forest right from the backyard. Located just minutes from downtown Nederland, you’ll be close to shops, restaurants, breweries, and local attractions like the Carousel of Happiness, with Boulder and Denver just a scenic drive away. Hosts are happy to provide personalized recommendations for your stay.
Getting Around:
Highway 119 is less than 1.7 miles from this house, which is your main way to get to most places in the mountains and into the flatlands.
Other Things to Note:
» Check-in form & ID upload required prior to stay
» Self-check-in with digital keypad.
» 4-WHEEL/ALL-WHEEL DRIVE is a must OCTOBER-APRIL.
» Mountain terrain can be rocky, icy, and slippery.
» Starlink WIFI: This house is in the mountains. Although rare, Wi-Fi can be affected by the wind and snow. Intermittent service at times is beyond our control as these mountains have a mind of their own!
Interaction with Guests:
We live locally and are available for anything that you would need us to be available for. Otherwise, the entire space is yours to enjoy.

Unfortunately, our ski trip occurred during a non snow year. We still had good time on the mountain, mostly because the kids had a ton of fun in the terrain parks! Overall the cabin was great. With a few exceptions including a lack of dry storage for food in the kitchen, drawer space in bedrooms, and a hot tub needing maintenance. The owner was very pleasant and hospitable, allowing us early check-in. The game room was a hit with both kids and adults!

This property is a slice of heaven. We loved spending all day in the gogeous, quiet surroundings, hiking, picking wildflowers and bird watching. This property is the perfect place to bring a family, and particular attention to the needs of small children made our stay so much easier. Brigitte is such a lovely host. She was always quick to respond and gave great recommendations for things to do in the area. I would definitely stay again. Hands down one of the best vacation rentals I have ever booked. We loved every minute.
