Perfect weekend getaway destination! This past weekend, my partner and I craved an escape from Denver city life. Last minute, we trekked out to Nederland in hopes of some respite. We got lucky that the Boulder Creek Lodge had an opening, and loved the experience! The local, homey feel and eclectic atmosphere was the perfect remedy to our woes. The staff was friendly, and they even have a black cat on site named Taz, who adds some charm. The room we booked was very spacious, and gave us the log cabin feel we were searching more. Just outside on the patio, we were able to enjoy the sounds and sights of the creek and Tungsten Trail. Plus, this accommodation is within walking distance of the town. This lodging offers breakfast that includes pastries, waffle griddles, and a variety of juices, yogurts, and snacks. We will definitely be booking here again! read more

Superior staff, prime location, simple and cozy. 10/10 will stay again! Walkable location and o many nearby amenities. Great little efficient breakfast set up. Fun porch on the water. read more

Have stayed here a number of times over the last 5 years - always a cozy, rustic nice experience. Last weekend, we went up for one night and I booked directly on their website. Just before confirming, a $60 mystery fee was added on. I booked anyway. Upon arrival, the front desk attendant declared that I booked on Expedia - resulting in the fee. I reminded him I booked directly and he VERY casually said that someone has cloned their website - is grabbing credit card details and booking it through Expedia and tacking on the mystery fee. He was completely unbothered and seemed to blame me. I told him he should shut down the cloning activity, encrypt it, and he just shrugged. Had to freeze the card, move $ from account, just to be safe. Plus, no more gas fireplaces, outlets not operational. read more

Had a nice stay here while in Nederland. Very close to everything you would want to see while in town Rooms right by the creek so you can relax and watch the world go by(several places to sit outside and people Watch) The place is old but they do a good job of keeping everything working and clean. Breakfast in the main area daily is a plus and was more than just toast and coffee. Staff do a nice job making you feel at home. They great you by name!! :-) Lots of nice seating in and out and games available to play as well in the upstairs main area read more

This place has basic accomodations but it could be better. The location is great, being centrally located in Nederland. They are also dog friendly which we appreciated. The 2nd floor room was large but the mattress was worn out, the sheets were threadbare, and some of the furniture was broken, like a tv cabinet door that would swing back in front of the tv and a stained couch. The soap dispenser in the shower was empty. The wifi was slower than cellular bandwidth. We couldn't get maid service on Sunday and had to track down towels. Even though the lodge was designated as no smoking with signs posted, it smelled like weed in the public spaces. With a little more focus on operations it could be really nice. read more

A very charming place to stay. The lady at the front desk is very friendly and I liked how cute our room was! I really enjoyed seeing the creek right outside our window and hearing the water flow by. One of the most relaxing experiences during a lodge stay. Almost made me wish we stayed an extra night just from how cozy it is! Also a plus for two sinks (one next to the toilet and one outside the bathroom) so it was very convenient for both of us to get ready separately. read more

Came to visit my brother and needed a last minute place to stay. It was the perfect location next to a grocery store and shops. read more

The room smelled like natural gas. The toxic, flammable type. The heater was on and we could not turn it off. No switch. The common areas were dusty and old. This is a great location and the only hotel in town so be prepared! We regret leaving our Sprinter at home. read more

the staff was amazing due to my situation! got a room and was actually offered free service from the very nice Joanne at the front desk! 5 star review for this place! Being an outsider i was treated like a king! read more

Clean. Fairly priced, staff is friendly and accommodating. My parents, sister, me and my four year old son stayed here 5 nights in a family suite. It was perfect! Thank You to all of the staff here, I am so sorry I always forget names. Also it was a pleasure meeting Roxy. Thanks Again! read more

This was a wonderful place to stay in Nederland. We love the rustic charm of this boutique lodge. It's clean, quiet and people are so nice. Right in the heart of the town--in walking distance to shop or eat. Perfect location for our hiking adventures. We look fwd to staying here again. read more

This place is AWESOME!!!!! ...and I'm VERY particular when it comes to hotels. From when my Bfriend made reservations, our arrival to our check... out we had a great time. Our initual plans were to only fo an overnight stay and then head up to Steamboat Springs. But I fell in love with the littke town and it's really sweet-friendly inhabitants, that we stayed an additional night. Side note on that--they were completely booked up! So when we asked for another night's stay, they informed us there were no more rooms available. But as soon as one opened up they let us know! : ) I can't remember everyone's name...(Hi Matt!!)But everyone helped us and said,"hello"... they were very friendly and helpful. So....will I stay there again? Will I recommend it to friends? Will I the Lodge five stars?... Yes!!! read more

Nice ambiance, Wild West feel to it. That said, the heat in our room was non-operable other than a small electric fireplace in the corner. Also, for a surprise when I woke up in the morning, no hot water. I don't mean that the water was lukewarm, I mean that it was ice cold. The continental breakfast was really good, biscuits and gravy, and Denver omelettes. All in all, I would probably stay here again, however, I would ask for a room with heat, and I would take a shower at night to see if that makes a difference. That, or maybe bathe in the horse trough, to complete the wild West theme to the vacation. read more

The Boulder Creek Lodge - Our heat source... - Hotels Near Me - Nederland, Colorado

I don't really understand the other reviews. Maybe I just happen to arrive at exactly the right time and got an awesome room. (289). From the price it was the cheapest option within boulder county. They allow dogs for a $10 fee which is reasonable. Absolutely loved the bed which feels like memory foam. Staff said there was a fan in the room, but it was a full on ac unit that just had to be bright near the window. Beautiful room with a beautiful view. Awesome town and is easy to walk anywhere from here. Staff was incredibly friendly. The hot tub they have is indoors right next to the river so you can hear it. Bottom line is I love this place so much I tried to stay another night, but it's completely booked. Worth staying in. As for other reviews I've seen. I do a preliminary check when I go to hotels for bed bugs, shower working, cleanliness, etc. Everything was fine, so maybe the hotel might have had a bad recent history, but my current experience was phenomenal! read more

Everything about staying here was amazing! Chris at the front desk was so welcoming and funny and a wealth of knowledge. Cosy rooms, great location, 10 mins to skiing... wonderful time, we will be back! Jane Jake and Ben read more

Our stay was okay - would not return. Small hotel, only 20 or so rooms. The room (King Suite) has the bedroom first, then the living room area in the back, so you can hear all the noises from the hall in the bedroom. The bathroom was nice, and our fridge and microwave worked. The room was blazing hot, and the air features in the room did not work. There was someone sleeping on the couch in the upstairs common area that had really made himself comfortable - personal belongings (including empty alcohol bottles and prescriptions, clothing, etc.) strewn around the area as well. He was there from very early morning until mid day, so had maybe been there overnight? Didn't seem as though anyone was concerned with him being there. Proximity to the town of Nederland is great - the Very Nice brewing company was great, and pizza at Cutthroat was delish. read more

We have stayed at this property every summer for three years now and just love it as a place to gather our family and friends. We'll be back next year, as well. The staff are amazing and really care about their customers. It's great to see the same wonderful people year after year--Ron, Ryan and Scott all make it a special experience. Ron's passion as manager of the property shines through and we look forward to his suggestions on places to go and things to do in the Ned area. The second floor of the hotel has a lovely gathering area with a super comfortable sofa and big chairs, as well as a big table that seats at least 10 people and a little 2-person table. We bring board games (though they do have stacks of shared games and puzzles), snacks, drinks and playlists on a laptop/phone, so that we can spend the evenings relaxing together after a nice day of hiking and other activities. You can pick up snacks at the B&F Mountain Market, drinks at the Dam Liquor Store and pizza at the Backcountry Pizza place--all right across the street. There's also outdoor seating that overlooks the creek flowing by the hotel and some additional tables/chairs on the first floor. Those are nice areas to hang out, talk and enjoy a good vacation. We don't travel with a dog, but it's worth noting that the staff members know the names of their little dog visitors! There's a tray of dog biscuits at the front desk, in addition to guest mints, and a welcoming bowl of water. This place is very "Ned" and has given us many good memories. read more

What a great place to stay to enjoy The Happiest town of CO. The employees are so friendly. The rooms are spacious and clean. You can request Creek side views and walk to friendly local haunts like The Pioneer Inn. The amenities in the rooms are generous, so if you stop on the spur of the moment, this hotel will take good care of you! read more

Paying 200 dollars for one night. We asked for a room with two queen beds and got a room with a queen bed and a queen pullout couch. Fireplace works, but the air conditioning doesn't. Front desk told us to open the window and our room will cool down. That was not true the temperature in our room went from 76 to 80 in an hour. It's pretty clean and water is pretty nice, but not worth it. read more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lodge! The rooms were a little dated but comfortable. We slept with the windows open and could hear the creek babbling below our room. The staff was very accommodating for all of our quirks! We were even allowed to use their activity room to host the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding. If we were ever to go back to Nederland, the Lodge would be our destination. read more

A quaint lodge appearance with clean, nicely decorated rooms. I stayed two nights and the wifi was out, however the manager didn't charge me for my beagles which I felt was more than fair. Given its location in the mountains, air conditioning was not available. They did provide a fan as Indian Summer was in full gear. A good breakfast was included and the location was superior in Nederland. If you're looking for small, quiet mountain setting....this is it! read more

The Boulder Creek Lodge - The blanket is mine because I travel dog smart - Hotels Near Me - Nederland, Colorado

Very cute Lodge decor. The staff was very helpful, showed me to my room and made sure the heater was working. Provided little amenities such as toothpaste and mouthwash. The breakfast was simple, but good. They even accommodated my later checkout. Would definitely stay here again! read more

It seems like a nice, convenient place to stay. Centrally located where you can enjoy the town, especially during Frozen Dead Guy Days first week of March. Unfortunately I reserved rooms for friends that committed to coming to the festival but all backed out. I had 3 rooms on my credit card for the weekend. I called to cancel 1 week ahead of time and they had a 2 week cancellation minimum. I was patient after talking to them, saying they would probably sell out, no worries. The entire week they were sold out on their website, and the management said it was their choice to show sold out because they didn't want to oversell. Even though they weren't sold out. They, in essence, held my credit card hostage to keep the rooms full. At first they were nice, when I pressed on the website issue they got defensive and nasty. I sort of gave up, thinking it was my fault for not cancelling the rooms in time and being the nice patient guy that I was to them....there's no way they would charge me. I mean, only nice people live in Nederland right? They charged me (not full amount, they did sell most rooms, but still) They had plenty of time in the middle of ski season and a festival to open up their website reservations and fill all the rooms for both nights. I even put up a craigslist add to help them. Still got screwed. Individually owned with the same chain mentality. Grab every penny you can, while you can. read more

Cozy. Warm. Big Rooms. Stayed here on short notice with a few friends while adventuring on mountain roads. The beds were cozy and the rooms warm and inviting. I had zero problems with the hotel. The breakfast was pretty good too... read more

This modest, but clean and well kept, lodge was the perfect place to spend a long weekend in Nederland, CO. To begin, it is an easy drive of a little over an hour from Denver airport. It is then incredibly close to the Eldora Mountain Ski Resort! I traveled last weekend with a group to experience adaptive (wheelchair users) skiing at Eldora. Chris, who works the front desk at night, greeted us by name, and personally walk us to our rooms. We found the rooms and accommodations to be accessible for both manual and power wheelchairs. The next morning, we enjoyed a nice breakfast where more of the staff was eager to greet us and give us advice about our skiing and weather. As we were mentioning that we planned to navigate the RDT bus to get to the ski resort, but were wondering about wheelchair accessibility, they jumped in, saying that instead they would drive us up there later in the afternoon before our lesson, to ensure we made it ok! Austin, who along with his wife, helps manage and run the lodge, loaded me and another wheelchair user in his Tahoe and drove us to Eldora, stopping to let us get great picture of the mountains! We were dropped off, and when I realized I had gone to the wrong building, he graciously came back, loaded us up again, and drove us to the right spot! Seriously, a life saver. After a great afternoon of skiing, we arrived back at the Boulder Creek Lodge, to be greeted with a nice plate of lasagna (18 layers) that Austin had prepared himself! We were blown away! During our stay, they let us use the breakfast room to work and convene since we had 5 wheelchair users in our group. They were helpful to any and everything we needed! Overall, we would highly recommend this hotel as a convenient spot for skiing, and most importantly, as a place that give a very personal touch with great people running it! Thank you to the Boulder Creek Lodge! read more

The charm of this marginally managed log fest wears thin when the bed starts squeaking. Not the door too! Man can this place use a little WD40 and a wrench and someone who cares enough to spray and turn it. Even a half-ass handyman could do wonders in seconds as most problems seem only a glance or two away from invisibility. Still, perhaps the rickety nature of this enterprise portends something more substantial. Complaints are drowned in a well of buck passing and the like. I'm pretty sure no one is actually in charge. There were no spoons for Cheerios at breakfast and screens missing on the windows and hot tub lukewarm but somehow it's all part of the charm. It's all in keeping with the high-priced slack ass hippie vibe in the town which is sure to bring out the Padre grande in you sooner rather than later. Mediocrity par excellence! http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g33564-d6733332-r308756783-Magnuson_Hotel_Nederland-Nederland_Colorado.html# read more

These people seriously care about your stay. This is a very cozy, classy and adorable lodge. The lodge is walking distance to a market and several other shops. The staff are more than excellent at making you feel welcome and they are extremely accommodating. They answer any questions and offer advice on things to do in the area. I will 100% return, they are just so great here! We came here for a wedding party and with our group of 30, the staff was always checking in with us, being so friendly and helped us with whatever we needed read more

Very friendly staff! Loved the free breakfast and small town feel. The cons were that the hot tub wasn't open, the beds were a little firm, and the shower head had barely any pressure to get soap out of your hair. read more

Oh, and get this. We (along with many of our friends) got bumped on a reservation THEY ENDED UP CHARGING US ANYWAY!?!? The worst run hotel I have ever encountered. STAY CLEAR! read more

Cute little hotel with a great location right on the roaring creek. But the staff and management are thieves and dishonest. We accidentally left some cannabis edibles and advil in the fridge, we remembered and returned about an hour later. The housecleaning cart was right in front of our room, and the staff member told me there wasn't anything found in the fridge. I told the manager I knew that was incorrect and we wouldn't be coming back, and he continued to deny they found anything. I hope the $50 of gummies was worth losing a couple who had come up 3 times in the last 6-7 weeks and were making Nederland our Covid escape destination, but we can't support a business that steals and then lies about it. We'll find another dog-friendly hotel at which we can spend our money. read more

This place was great! Great location right on the water in walking distance to many eateries and bars. Ron was awesome! We were stranded and needed a ride to our car in Ward and Ron was such a gem he gave us a ride all the way back to our car! We will definitely be back! read more

First time we stayed here to get some skiing at Eldora and avoid the I70 chaos. Great choice. Hotel room was really clean and we liked the room with a fireplace that goes on w a simple gas switch. Chris at front desk is super friendly. Breakfast in AM is fine and better than some corporate chains. Hotel is so close to all the restaurants of Nederland just walk. They do allow dogs so if that turns u off don't stay here. We will stay here again bc it was son simple instead of Summit County issues. The wings at the smokehouse across the creek from hotel are great btw! read more

I was traveling from out of town as part of a wedding party. I never received a confirmation of my reservation or a receipt. The roads leading up to the hotel were closed for safety reasons due to a blizzard. The whole wedding was cancelled. I called the hotel and we were told we would not be charged. More than TWO MONTHS later, I received a charge on my card. TWO MONTHS LATER. This unethical business practice is appalling. I've disputed it with my credit card and filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau. The managers names: Pamela Bovee and Patrick Odrzywolski. The email address is nedlodge@aol.com. The phone is 303-258-9463. I'm also contacting all of the people illegally charged. I'm writing reviews on EVERY SINGLE travel website I can find. read more

BOOK HERE!! Not only was our stay filled with value (best rates, perfect breakfast, clean rooms, awesome location and pet-friendly), but Ron and his staff are so friendly and personable making our stay that much more enjoyable. We'll be back, Ron! read more

The staff makes this place a 5 star stay. I have never met a more accommodating, welcoming and friendly staff in anywhere we have ever stayed. We were so impressed!The breakfast was excellent and I can't believe it's complimentary. The rooms are spacious and the location is excellent. I could sing praises about Boulder Creek Lodge forever but if you are reading this you are considering staying and I definitely say you won't be disappointed. read more

Very pretty. But the front desk staff is barely civil. And I have been waiting for over an hour for hot water and none yet!!! I'll take not as pretty and hot water any day. Called the front desk about it and the guy was super pissy. My guess is I am not the first guest to call him complaining.... read more

This establishment has been sold. Upon arrival for our reservation we made in February we were told all reservations were lost during the sale and they no longer had ours. "Luckily" their family suite (1 queen, 3 twins) was available. So our group bunked in together. Not what we were expecting at all. Also the front desk attendant had zero compassion or sympathy for the situation management had put us in. This speaks volumes about the integrity of hotel management and ownership. It also taints my view of Magnuson Hotels as they were a party in the sale of the property. I will definitely think twice before I give my business to a company who would so cavalierly disregard customers during a business transaction. The room was hot, the window was broken and would not open. Clearly they know the room get's hot as it is stocked with an additional fan. We left as soon as we could to head down the road and find another hotel with more hospitality. I would recommend anyone with a reservation at this hotel triple check its existence and then cancel and book a room elsewhere. read more

We were with a group that rented four rooms. Two of the four reservations were lost and there were no rooms us. Told us they would charge us for roll always too. Staff was not the least apologetic - openly hostile. Got the roll always and the staff actually brought sheets but we were told to go and ask one of the other rooms if they had blankets and pillows. Hot tub broken and unable to be cleaned but they were letting people in there anyway. Gross. "Breakfast": Toaster broken No plates No spoons Coffee needs refilled (but the woman who told me she needed a break before it would be refilled told me I could go make some in my room) Bottom line: the staff doesn't care about you or your experience at the hotel. Rooms are fine and can be very convenient for family given the layouts and size. But I have my doubts that they are really cleaned given the lack of pride the staff takes in doing a job right. And I would make a back up plan for breakfast - even the "Cheerios" we're bad read more

The front desk staff is so sweet! Love staying here when I come into town! Truly an experience not to miss. Very authentically "Nederland". If you're looking for a place with all the small town charm Ned has to offer look no further than the Magnuson! read more

This is a great lil lodge nestled away in nederland. IT IS NOT A FIVE STAR HOTEL, head to Boulder if you are looking for commercialized comfort!! However it is a perfect fit for nederland and has a great wild west feel to it. The rooms are spacious and clean!We are from Georgia and have found out about the great Colorado skiing with zero lines at Eldora. We stayed at this lodge in December of 2015 and found out that the lodge is a great spot to stay if you want to stay close to Eldora and enjoy a mountain town that is not commercialized!! read more
