Bear Creek Cabins

• Located just 20 miles outside of Denver, Evergreen is a lovely community nestled right up against the Rocky Mountains. At Bear Creek Cabins, fishermen will find a four-season fly fishing stream on-site, as well as a lovely grilling and picnic area located right next to a creek. The buildings are registered as a historic site, and the cabins feature beautiful touches, such as log beam walls and handcrafted pine headboards. These six cabins are available to rent year-round with rates varying by season. There is also a two-bedroom mountain home on-site available to rent.

These seven cabins vary from studios that sleep two people to a four-bedroom unit that can accommodate 10 guests. The studios have kitchenettes while every other unit has a full kitchen. The bigger cabins also offer nice fireplaces to sit by at the end of a long day of exploring. The grounds expand across 16 acres, and the units are spread out enough to give a sense of privacy.

Cliff House Lodge Country Inn & Hot Tub Cottages‎

• If you wish to stay a little bit closer to downtown Denver, try Cliff House Lodge in the neighboring town of Morrison. This bed and breakfast doesn't sit on the expansive grounds that you'll find at other nearby options, but they do have a very charming garden. Perhaps best of all, each cabin features either an indoor jacuzzi or a private outdoor hot tub. You'll also find modern amenities such as wireless Internet access and iPod stations in the units. Each cabin is decorated in a different theme as well. Overall, it's a perfect place for couples to spend a few nights relaxing and reconnecting.
