Zebulon Pike Cabin on Coal Creek - Boulder/Golden

Closest mountain cabin to Denver International Airport(DIA/DEN). Perfect location to stay in the Colorado mountains with easy access to Boulder (17.5 miles highway to CU), Golden (15 miles), Denver (33.5 miles), Red Rocks (22 miles), Arvada, and mountain towns with easy driving access on Colorado Highway 72. Coal Creek Cabins is a 4-cabin property on 5 acres located in historic Coal Creek Canyon. Enjoy the creek trail, picnic tables, and views of steep Blue Mountain slopes + Coal Creek Canyon.

This rustic "1930 Zebulon Pike Cabin" on Coal Creek with 1 bedroom and 1 sleeper sofa and mountain views honors the Western America explorer Zebulon Pike who joined the United States Army at age 15 and with a group of soldiers set out in hopes of finding the source of the Arkansas River. Along the way, he noticed “a small blue cloud” in the distance. Eager to explore what he saw, he traveled until he reached the base of a mountain that would be called Pikes Peak. After Zebulon Pike’s death and the discovery of gold in Colorado, “Pike’s Peak or Bust” became the slogan of all those headed West in hopes of fame and fortune.

High speed wireless Internet all the way up the mountains to the cabins for 100 MB per second download speed + 50 MB per second upload speed for Smart LED TV apps. This is truly amazing!!!

Such a beautiful area! The cabin had dog hair all over the floor and furniture. I guess that's what you can expect if they allow pets. The owner was very happy to do whatever was needed to help us. The owner was also very responsive. Overall we had a good time.

Very Cozy Cabin
Very cozy and comfortable. Easy to find and the location is perfect for getting away from everyday life. Just about an hour drive from Rocky Mountain National Park and Garden of the Gods. The only thing I had an issue with was there was a strange smell coming from the bathroom area and we couldn't find any bowls. Other than those two things we had a blast.

Coal Creek Cabin Stay
The host made the check in process really easy and contacted us when the cabin was ready. That is a great location to explore the Rocky Mountain National Park and surrounding areas. Shower is small for those over 6 ft tall, but otherwise loved the stay. There is a Sinclair gas station nearby for morning coffee and the Last Stand Tavern has great food!

The property was located along a creek but I was disappointed there weren’t really any trails or places to enjoy nature within walking distance. We ran out of TP and trash bags and had to buy our own. The bed wasn’t really that comfortable.

This is the second property we have had the pleasure of renting from Rex. This little cabin in the mountains was super cute and comfortable. Very clean and great use of the small space. Anytime we have ever had any issues Rex has always been right there to address them. Thanks again for a memorable stay!
