About this property
~ Central Boulder Gem - Walk to CU/Folsom - 20 acre park out the back gate ~
GreenGate is our mid-century house on a quiet, tree-lined lot in Boulder. It's solar-powered, gets good light, and has been our family home for years. We've tried to keep it comfortable and straightforward — a place where you can settle in quickly and do whatever you came to Boulder to do.
~Living Room
There's a large sectional that gets a lot of use. The room is sunny with big windows, and we have fast Wi-Fi and a TV with YouTube TV, PBS, and Prime Video. Good for a movie night or just hanging out.
~Dining Room & Patio
The dining room is bright and opens onto a screened-in patio through sliding doors. It's a nice spot for morning coffee or an evening outside without the bugs. There are a couple of gravity chairs out there if you want to stretch out. We eat most meals there and spend hours enjoying the backyard.
~Bedrooms
Three bedrooms, each with its own feel:
The primary has a Cal King, an ensuite bath, and a small loft office area that leads to a private deck with a mountain view. The second bedroom has a queen and a calm, quiet atmosphere. The third has a full bed — works well for one person or a younger guest.
Each room has its own AC unit, so you can sleep however you like regardless of what the summer weather is doing.
~Kitchen & Bathrooms
The kitchen is fully updated and well-stocked for cooking actual meals, not just making coffee (though it handles that too).
~Backyard & Park
The backyard is a nice place to slow down — there's a swing and plenty of bird and squirrel activity if that's your thing. The back gate opens directly into a 20-acre park with a playground, splash pad, and an Olympic-size pool. Handy if you have kids, or if you just want a morning swim.
One thing worth mentioning: This is our actual home, and it shows — there are personal touches throughout. We'd just ask that you take care of it the way you would your own place.
City of Boulder license #RHL2017-00279 and only 3 unrelated occupants are allowed to rent the space.
There are two outside Ring security cameras, one at the front door and one near the back door.

About the host
Hosted by Eric Kloor
That's us - getting married in our backyard in 2014! Shanti's a teacher, Eric's an entrepreneur, and we're intrepid travelers. We've used VRBO and other rental and house exchange websites for years. This is our home, so we hope you'll treat it with great respect.
Why they chose this property
Boulder is a remarkable town in every manner, and being in the middle of town with a country-like feel to the backyard is pure delight.
What makes this property unique
Our guests say it best:
Truly great house. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely home. It’s in a great location (central to just about everything), it is immaculate with everything one could want from a vacation rental. It is very well stocked and comfortable. It has a great solar radiant heating system throughout that keeps the house at a perfect temperature 24/7. Eric and Shanti were very helpful and super easy to deal with. We were there looking at CU Boulder for our daughter. If she ends up going there, we will definitely try and stay at this house again when we visit.
This house is super comfy and clean. Everything is how it should be to make a guest feel at home. We also loved how convenient the location was, with direct access to the highway, neighboring creek trial, and proximity to downtown. A perfect choice.
