About this property

Visit History - Close Access to Everything Cool in Boulder - Bus, Bike or Walk

This home has a warm, welcoming vibe. A guest described it best: "the home gives you a hug" when you walk through the doors. Built in 1901, this Victorian Painted Lady Farmhouse sits on the corner of the entrance to Newlands Neighborhood west of Broadway. It is rumored that the house was once occupied by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in the 1970's. If you listen hard enough you might hear something.

This house sits on 1/3 of an acre with a fantastic yard for a BBQ and lawn games even in some of the winter months. Venture upstairs to your sleeping quarters with a hang out room secluded from any bustle on the lower level. Each room has a universal phone charger. I actually iron my pillow cases for you and the sheets are line-dried in the Colorado sunshine. I leave the white walls and sheets for the Hilton (which I am not). You can expect colors that are historic and furniture that is turn of the century in each room.

I have a couple of bikes that may be used to enjoy our bike-friendly city. You will be just 3 blocks from a City Recreation center with an indoor pool and hot tub. There are also outdoor tennis and pickleball courts behind the Rec Center.

3 Bears House is only a few blocks from the foothills of the Rockies, so you can start hiking out the front door without driving your car!

My home is best suited for small families with teens/college kids or two couples. There is plenty of space to spread out and have privacy to read, watch TV, cook, etc.
without imposing on others.

I am a superhost on anothet site with 500 reviews if you want more references.

Great stay

We felt super lucky to have gotten this house for graduation weekend. It was a great place to stay for 3 adults (parents and aunt) and could easily hd room for another couple. The sunroom and patio were perfect for the beautiful weekend. The house had everything we needed, including laundry, enough parking and easy access to a park for great running.

Great house, great location

The house was perfect for us and our friends. The house is spacious and the yard is gorgeous. We loved sitting in the sunroom or out on the deck. The house is close to Pearl Street but in a quiet neighborhood. There are great hiking trails that start at the end of the street. We will definitely stay again!

Simply Amazing

We were in town to visit my son and his fiancée for Christmas. This home is indeed a 'Historic Victorian Charmer'. Everything was simply perfect. We loved the windowed sitting area in the back. The kitchen had every pan, pot, and utensil we could want, which made cookie making very easy. The house had so many bonuses. We would stay here again in a pinch!

CU Boulder drop off

Perfect place to relax during our CU Boulder drop off. Enough room to spread out and close enough to campus. The back yard is amazing and although a bit hot while we were there it was pleasant to sit and enjoy our morning coffee. So many bunny rabbit made it fun to watch.

Wish we could stay a month here. So nice to sit in sun room and watch the bunnies in backyard. Kitchen is large and has all you need to cook all your favorite meals. Beds are comfortable. Beautiful neighborhood in the Foothills. Yard is enclosed to let dog run free. Great location, easy to get to town or mountains. The gardens around the home are beautiful.

Quaint, Comfortable and Friendly Home w/Terrific Location!

I loved my 3 night stay in Boulder here in the cozy upstairs bedroom of this awesome old house! I have stayed in Boulder before, and really feel this is the way to go for a variety of reasons. The location was perfect for hopping a bus straight down the road to arrive right at the Pearl Street mall. The owners have the downstairs of this great antiquated home, and their guests get an entirely seperate entrance, with a full porch and yard to hang out in during the beautiful weather. The upstairs is spacious and very beautifully done to accomodate all my needs...comfortable bed, a few chairs, and big desk in the room; in addition, the "common" area room had a mini-kitchen area, a few chairs and TV for relaxing at the end of the day. Since it was pretty warm during my time in Boulder, I loved that the nice attic fan served as a very quick way to cool things down upstairs upon my return to the house each evening. I felt right at home here because of the laid back hospitality of the owners, along with all of the comforts they provided, and I will definitely stay there again when I return!

Nice and easy

I had a great time at Graces house. I could use kitchen, bathrooms, porch and garden. Grace even lended me her bike, which took me all over Boulder. Lance is a lovely dog. The second floor tends to heat up in summertime. The house is old and ventilation makes a lot of noise. But that didn't spoil my stay in the least. Great place!

Fantastic location and great room with a very hospitable owner!

I moved to Boulder to attend a coding bootcamp. I was just looking for temporary housing for the duration of my program. This house is fantastic! I have a dog and the fact that the owner also had a dog and a very large backyard makes this place ideal for me. Being situated in North Boulder, I am a few blocks from the base of the flatirons which are the gateway to excellent hiking trails. Downtown is just a 5 minute drive or a 15-20 min walk. There are bus lines right on Broadway(the bordering street) which can take you anywhere if you don't have a car. The owner is incredibly hospitable! Always available to give food recommendations and is very well connected to the local community. I would highly recommend this location to anyone coming to Boulder and doesn't want to be in the craziness of downtown.

The Perfect Staging Area

I arrived in Boulder with the goal of exploring for the purpose of a possible move to the area. After unsuccessfully attempting another b-n-b, I found this property and instantly felt at home. The space (including the bathroom) was clean, quiet, and private. It was far enough from the downtown chaos to allow for a peaceful retreat, but close enough to the action that I was able to walk to just about anything I needed in 10 to 20 minutes. The outdoor landscaping was attractive, and the environment inviting enough that I felt strongly compelled to use the porch swing and the outdoor basketball hoop. None of this "oh how quaint" as I walked by on my way to doing something seemingly more important. At the end of Hawthorn is a trailhead for hiking in the Boulder foothills, again within walking distance from the house. Bottom line: This place feels like home away from home, and I would recommend it for the traveler wanting something more than the sterile hotel experience.

About the host

Hosted by Grace Thomson

Host profile image
I owned a bridal shop for 25 years in Boulder until 2006. Currently I am retired and enjoying every minute with my soulmate, John. Originally, I am from New Jersey and loving the lifestyle out here. Vacation renters like you have allowed me to stay in my beautiful home.
I have two kids that live in the area and I enjoy playing volleyball, pickleball, gardening, biking and local music!

Why they chose this property

You can walk to Pearl street in 20 minutes or ride a bike in just 10 minutes. My yard has plenty of room for yard games. My large deck provides plenty of space for outdoor gathering. Please NO Late PARTIES!

What makes this property unique

Being on a bus line is a huge bonus. You can leave your car home. I also recently installed an EV charger. I am also just two blocks from the foothills for hiking and 2 blocks from a Recreation Center with a pool.
