We've had 2 meditation retreats here.
The house is at the end of a dead end so
there is no traffic. It's very quiet. The
views from the deck are stunning and
include sunrise and sunsets. It's clean,
well kept, and was built and is kept up
with some environmental factors in
mind. |

| We loved this property! The views were amazing and the house was beautiful. Annika was wonderful to work with and made special accommodations for our young children. We saw lots of deer and a fox right off of the patio. If you like beauty and privacy, this is the spot for you. We'd love to come back. |

| Our stay at Paradise Ridge was everything we had hoped for and more. Our 4 Grandchildren and 2 adults made use of the free ski lift tickets which made our stay very affordable. Getting to the Eldora ski area was very easy. The accomadations in the beautiful home was excellent. We were able to prepare our favorite meals each evening. We all had a wonderful time and have recommended Paradise Ridge to many friends. |

| We spent a long weekend at this wonderful home over Martin Luther King weekend. My brother and I, and our 4 children ages 17-12. Pictures do not do this home justice. It is a wonderful , modern , quiet getaway with views that are unbelievable. The owners were great to work with and we found everything as expected. They checked in with us after we arrived to make sure everything was to our liking. We hosted family in the area for dinner one, I think there were 16 of us and there was plenty of room and dishes to accomidate us easily. We will certainly stay here again in the future. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us. The O'Connors |

| We rented Paradise Ridge for 10 days at the end of August. WOur family was in Nederland for my son's wedding to a wonderful young lady who has deep roots in the area. The house was great, and the views never ending. I had a pre-wedding dinner for about 70 people and the kitchen and house accomodated that soiree without any problems. The constant comment from all guests was how amazing the house is. We look forward to our next visit to Paradise Ridge. |

Comment Text: Paradise Ridge provided the setting for our annual family vacation this year: mom and dad, two daughters, son-in-law, and two grandchildren (9 and 5), plus dog (Malamute mix). It was the perfect setting, with easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park and other sites. In addition to the excellent location and lovely view, the house itself is architecturally attractive, well-equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay. We also appreciated Annika’s prompt attention to our inquiries and concerns. Location, view, amenities, and comfort – a great place for children, for adults, for bird-watching (more than 30 species sighted during the week), and for the dog – we all had a wonderful time. One has the feeling of being away from it all, yet near to it all.

What a wonderful property!! We stayed for a week with 4 other family members. There was plenty of room for all of us, and we didn't feel like we were bumping into each other. We had a local family gathering of about 15 people one day, and there was ample space for all us.
I've been going out to the Nederland area my whole life, and have stayed at a number of rentals in the area, but this one can't be beat for the wonderful views and amenities in the home. The fireplace on the deck is wonderful for those cool evenings, and one night we sat up late watching the stars (the Milky Way was so clear, and we saw a number of satellites and shooting stars) by the warmth of the fire.
We look forward to our next trip!! |

| The house is everything that was stated and more. The house is very nicely designed with lots of thoughtful details. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the terrific views. The rainbow that went right over the house and down into the reservoir was incredible. How did you arrange that?!?! Also, the wildlife -- the doe and then the buck the next day that were in the yard, were fantastic. We will be coming back! |

| We had a house full with 10 of the 21 in our extended family staying at Paradise Ridge. We shared 3 meals with the whole group there and loved the spaciousness. There was room for everyone to gather together if they wanted, alternately, there was enough space for people to gather in small groups if they preferred without being on top of each other. |

Our family of 5 recently had the pleasure of spending several days at Paradise Ridge (June/July 2008).
The house is everything stated in the description and more, the photos do not do it justice.
The first impression of Paradise Ridge is the architectural statement made by the house as it looms skyward when you approach on the private drive. Upon entry, we found the house to be done in an extremely tasteful contemporary esthetic, mixing modern and rustic textiles and furnishings. As an example, the kitchen is outfitted with stained concrete counters, mosaic tile accents and state of the art stainless appliances. Likewise the master combines exquisite rusticated antique wood flooring with minimalist Asian bed furnishings.
The views throughout the house and on the expansive decks are truly jaw dropping. I especially liked the view to the continental divide from the Jacuzzi, and the overlook to Barker reservoir while dining on the deck off the living room.
We travelled with our three children and while the older two were diverted with the theater-like entertainment room and Jacuzzi our youngest was enthralled with the multi-story playhouse on the property.
In summary, we were very impressed with this vacation rental and only wish we had booked more nights at Paradise Ridge.

We stayed at Paradise Ridge with another couple for a week in late June. The house was wonderful, very clean, modern and with decks/patios/views to die for! I had to work some and it was simply awesome to sit in the kitchen, great room, tv room, decks or patio with my computer and keep glancing at the views while I did. I think my productivity was a little down :)
The house is well located for trips into Boulder, and along the scenic byway from Black Hawk up to Estes Park. Don't eliminate the little town of Nederland itself...we ate in the local taverns an eateries several times always with good food and service.
Dealing with Annika (the owner) was hassle free and convenient both via phone and email. The house was clean, the kitchen well furnished, and did I mention the views....? One thing to note..not necessarily good or bad, but you will climb stairs at this property. I only mention it, because had my father travelled with us, he would not have been able to handle it.
I give the whole experience 5 out of 5 stars, and highly recommend it for your vacation.

This was a great place to stay for our 4-person family. It does not have alot of TVs, but with the view, you won't watch much TV. Four bedrooms, large kitchen, large family room(s). The house sits several hundred feet overlooking the town and Barker Reservoir. It was relaxing just to look out the windows at the trees and mountains. We saw deer grazing in the yard one morning around sunrise. The hot tub also has a stunning view of the mountains.
I would not hesitate to stay here again if we get the opportunity. |

We had a blast! The kids, my wife and me. Conveniently located minutes from Boulder and the CU campus, this place is indeed, paradise. On our way up, we stopped at this grocery store place called Whole Foods Market and stocked up on fresh produce, organic meats, great cheese and some mighty fine coffee.
My wife and I spent a big part of the weekend one the two decks taking in the endless views and night time stars. Sunday was a great weather day; warm, sunny and calm winds. When they weren’t hiking one of the multiple trails near the house, the kids played marathon Monopoly and Nerf b-ball during the evenings. The Charmglow grill and Jacuzzi both worked perfectly; we steamed asparagus in the Miele steamer and had carry-out Naan from nearby Kathmandu restaurant.
On Sunday afternoon, we drove over to the Sundance Stables and rode horses; got to see a great view of the Continental divide; stopped by the Ned co-op for some cold drinks and bulk snack items. We hiked up to the hammock place, and viewed the valley from there.
The place was immaculate; the mattresses appeared to be brand new and everything was as advertised on the VRBO website.
We’ll be back.

Hi I'm Sydney and I'm 12 years old..
I had a great time at Paradice Ridge. My favorite part was staying at the house. The house had a breathtaking view over the whole town. And I went horse back riding at Sundance Stables.
