This is a remote property, across the road from Arapahoe National Forest, 5 miles to Golden Gate Canyon State Park and the historic towns of Black Hawk and Central City where you can explore, discover history, check out the casinos and be within 1 hour of world-class ski resorts. Plenty of interest for birders and many areas for hiking and mountain and/or road biking. You will enjoy a quiet and beautiful area surrounded by an aspen meadow, next to a small pond where you may (ya never know!) see moose, deer, coyotes, bear and other wildlife. Enjoy the night sky and do some star gazing. The nearest ski area, Eldora, is approximately 25 minutes away. Loveland Ski Area and Winter Park are about1 hour away. This apartment is quiet, spacious and very well stocked. The environmentally conscious owner lives upstairs. All soaps are cruelty-free and in refillable containers, recycled toilet paper and paper towels, cloth napkins, LED lighting, repurposed kitchen countertops are made from the floors of train cars. Recycling container provided and recycling is encouraged. Children and dogs are always welcome and toys and books are provided for young children.

A wonderful stay

Our stay at the Meandering Moose was fantastic. The place was immaculate, and the host was so helpful in providing us with information about local attractions. We were sorry to have to leave at the end of our stay.

Everything about this stay was amazing the communication, spaciousness and cleanliness of the unit, and the host. She thought of EVERYTHING and more, even leaving out treats and dog bowls for my pup. Couldn't recommend this spot more and I will definitely be back.

Amazing! Great Host, great place, great views

My family and I had a wonderful time staying here. The home is located in a great spot with beautiful views and lots of wildlife. Celia is very accommodating and went above and beyond to make the home comfortable and clean. We had more than enough of what we needed, appreciated the organic and earth friendly products, and enjoyed every detail Celia put into her property making it an ideal spot for making family memories! Thanks again!

Spacious apartment and wonderful host

The apt is in a beautiful location and was more than enough space for four adults and a dog. Celia is an amazing host, very thoughtful and goes out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable and happy. She was very gracious when our dog kept barking and scratching when he was alone and even made sure he was okay while respecting the privacy of the apt. I highly recommend the apt and host!

Amazing place with the perfect hostess

Celia the hostess was amazing and has the place perfectly decorated and accessorized. I spent two one week stays here and would come back in a second. It's a beautiful rural place and is very comfortable. I loved the wood burning stove each night and she did a great job of keeping me supplied with wood. I was also working remotely and had great internet and cell service. (I have AT&T) as a side note, there is a pond and I did bring my skates and enjoyed some outdoor skating. Skiing was also reasonably close, I skied Eldora, a local hill-decent and it was only 30 minutes away. Arapahoe Basin-1 hour and Winter Park-1hr 15 minutes. Both great ski areas. Loved the entire experience! I would highly recommend staying here!

Loved It!

Meandering Moose stay was exquisite, clean & comfy. Enjoyed the daybed near a comfy couch in living area very much so that hubby n' I could both stretch out to watch TV together in evenings. Celia who lives upstairs is a fabulous host & can tell that she'd interact as much or little as you'd prefer. We found her wonderful and hung out a bit but you won't even know she's there if prefer it that way. Nearby town is charming, good food, quaint shops & many great places to gamble are not far away. I do need to say that being from Hawaii, we had problems with altitude adjustment but experiencing snow, critters & the beauty of CO made it worth seeing the beauty in this state. Highly recommend Celia's place & being hosts ourselves in Hi, this 5* review is deserved. Aloha. Jahnys n' Stan
