What can I say, check out the annual festival in honor of the local Frozen Dead Guy if you really like things that are a bit off from what is considered main stream.
Here's a snip from the Chamber of Commerce page (link below):
"Bredo Morstoel, or as he is known around here, Grandpa in the Tuff Shed, was born in Norway in 1900. He stopped breathing in 1989, but is currently awaiting re-animation at some undetermined time in the future. This is the Life Extension Concept: Grandpa is not truly dead, he?s just waiting until they can fix him and bring him back to life. The concept of cryogenics has been around for a few years."

Best Western Lodge - Nederland
3 Reviews and 54 Opinions I loved this hotel, plain and simple. It's was themed so well! When I entered, I felt like I was...
2 Opinions
Teledude Says: Basically you have a few choices. There is a hostel in Nederland within walking distance of everything in town. I tis very small but friendly. There are a few hotels also. One is the newer Best Western right downtown. It has modern accomodations. But it has NO soul. Once...
Wild Mountain Brewery and Smokehouse: Wild Mountain Brewery and Smokehouse
leafmcgowan Says: Right in the heart of historic downtown Nederland, is a 2-story brewery and smokehouse known as the Wild Mountain. While Pork and Beef are their specialty, they have many vegetarian options. Unfortunately I'm not a beer drinker as I hear they have some great hand-crafted...
Neapolitan's Italian Restaurant: Good food --- great prices!
sue&gene Says: The restaurant was very close to the major intersection in the town ... right across from the visitor's center. It had both inside and outside eating areas. We chose the inside area. It was small (but with character) and had fast, friendly service. I ordered a calzone which...
Cool Beans espresso: A unique coffee shop.
caffeine_induced78 Says: You can't miss this coffeehouse. If you drive on the main North-South highway through town - it will be on the East side. The main coffeehouse portion is in an old 1910 Pullman passenger train car. The coffee is excellent, and the creamer is organic (I forgot to ask about...
I love getting up early and...
Teledude Says: I love getting up early and going to Annie's Cafe for weekend breakfasts. Dinners are usually pizza at The Pioneer Inn or The Wolftongue Brewery. Both places have a great selection of local beers as well. Beware of the Winter Brews though! At this altitude, the strength of...
Pioneer Inn: My favorite bar in America
Katmosphere Says: Okay, so it's been around forever and it's not a high end bar in the least. But it's still my favorite bar in America. Sit at the bar on a cold, snowy, winters night, and you'll make friends with all the local mountain men in a heartbeat! no dress code
Teledude Says: The Pioneer Inn, The Wolftongue Brewery, The Sundance Cafe and The Acoustic Coffehouse all have live music on alternating nights. Acid Jazz, Bluegrass, Folk, and good old Rock all get their turn here. The difference between say a bar in Ned as opposed to a bar down in...

A health food store in the middle of a healthy place--what could make more sense?
What to buy: Organic fruits, vegetables, juices, and great bakery items too.
What to pay: average price of organic food---not cheap.

Address: 30 east first street
Rutontuton Says: Don't fret too much. Before you come up, drink lots of water (not Gatorade or sodas), and don't skip a meal. If you normally drink two drinks, drink only one or avoid alcohol the first day you are here. Adjust to Ned altitude before attempting to hike up to 10,000 feet or...
Katmosphere Says: Nederland has a really high elevation, and some people have a problem adjusting to the altitude. If you start feeling lightheaded and dizzy, you may want to descend to Boulder untill your body adjusts.
Beware the wind! It can get...
Teledude Says: Beware the wind! It can get pretty nasty up here and gusts of 80mph aren't that uncommon. No crime. You have a greater chance of being nuzzled by a large dog than a crime being commited against you. And the weather...in the mountains here it is very unpredictabe. It can go...
Katmosphere Says: This ranch used to be a recording studio. People like Elton John, Chicago, and Billy Joel recorded there--to name a few. It's also a working cattle ranch with water fall on the property and an original ghost town. It's a beautiful place with a lot of history.
Take a drive out of town to...
Teledude Says: Take a drive out of town to the tiny town of Eldora and go for a hike to the ghost town of Hessie. Drive to Caribou and see the old mining ruins. Do some fishing at Barker Resevoir-you can't miss it, it's the huge body of water that dominates Nederland.
caffeine_induced78 Says: If you need cash when you are in Nederland you can use the ATM at Peak National Bank. On S. Hwy 119 and Rental way the ATM is inside the bank where it is nice and warm on those cold days. The bank charges a $1.50 service charge in addition to any charges your bank may levy.
You must first remember this...
Teledude Says: You must first remember this is Nederland Colorado USA. It is not in Europe. Nederland is a funky, tiny little town in the mountians west of Boulder. It is very small. There are a few restaurants, cofeeshops and bars where the majority of the areas people hang out. Bluegrass...

I once lived in this beautiful little mountain town. It felt good to go back and visit and see that it had some changes, sure, but was still an unpretentious small town.
This is a small town of about 1000 citizens at about 2600 meters elevation along the Peak to Peak scenic route. One thing that struck me was the number of coffee shops and art galleries. If it only......
