The house was a wonderful spot to spend a long weekend with family. The kitchen was well stocked and the patio was a great place to hang out. We grilled one night, turned on the fire pit, and gazed at the moon and stars. Getting to walk across the street to hike was the icing on the cake!
Great location, close access to hiking. Stayed for a CU football game. Communication with the host was great. House is spacious and gorgeous. Would stay here again if I head back to Boulder.
Great location and neighborhood, short walk to wonderful hiking trails and into town. The house is well appointed and very comfortable. The backyard space is a great space to hang out in.
We had such a lovely stay ! The house is beautiful, welcoming and calm. We immediately felt right at home. Sue was easy to reach, super helpful and lovely to communicate with. The location is amazing. Only glowing reviews this end. Will visit again. Thank you Bill and Sue for taking such good care of us.
My family and I needed a quiet, large, and soothing place to stay for a long weekend. Sue and Bill’s place was perfect. Sue was an incredible host and the house was everything we hoped it would be. The location is gorgeous, the amenities top notch, and we especially loved the showers! . The backyard was full of song birds and downtown Boulder was easily accessible. Thank you Sue and Billy!

Beautiful Boulder home with breath taking views of the Iconic Flatirons.
Our stay over the holiday was fantastic. The house was perfect to accommodate all my holiday guests! Spacious, clean and comfortable ! The owner was more than accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and content. It was really a joy to stay there.
perfect basecamp for our wedding weekend in Boulder, with hiking trails right outside the front door. Excellent communication with Sue throughout our stay. Will return if we can! :-)
We gathered for CU move-in and a concert at Folsom Field and were very happy with the location. The house was lovely and very comfortable for a group. The backyard and views of the Flatirons were favorites. Also enjoyed the proximity to Chautauqua for hikes. The owner was very friendly and super responsive. Thanks for a great stay - we would love to rent it again in the future!
We picked this property as it was close to Boulder. It was beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on patio just visiting. It was in a neighborhood right next to the Flatirons that provided a beautiful view and ease to go hiking. Sue was easy to work with. Enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful house. Love the location . A perfect fit for our family. Comfortable and generous seating and places to hang out. Beds very comfie and water pressure excellent! Thank you so much!
We loved this house! It was beautiful and in the best location in Boulder. We could hike right out our door some of the best trails in town. Beds and bedding were very comfortable. We also enjoyed the football memorabilia as we are big football fans. Go CU Buffs and Broncos! Amazing place that was perfect for our family.
I lived in Boulder for 10 years and this trip was to introduce my daughter (Jr. in High School) to The University of Colorado-Boulder and Boulder. I knew right away by the address/location that this was the best place to be in Boulder. You literally cannot do better for location. Steps from the epic hikes of the Flatirons, stunning mtn views, quiet and safe neighborhood. The house is so comfortable and well done that we never wanted to leave and the hosts are super chill and nice.
The house is in an amazing location at the foothills of the Flat Irons and Chautauqua Park. We hiked our last day and walked to Chautauqua Dining Hall for brunch. House was clean and very cozy. We had all of the amenities we needed and the owner was very responsive for any questions we had. Even sent restaurant suggestions prior to our stay for planning purposes. Would visit again! Five Stars!

Perfect House for Our Group - Highly Recommend
The house has a great layout for a group. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The master bedroom is private and located on the top floor. 2 additional bedrooms with a bath are located on a separate mid-level. Then there is a wonderful space on a lower level with a bedroom, bathroom, and living space which provided so great separation. Sue the owner was terrific to work with. The patio is lovely. Highly recommend.
Mountain getaway in the city!This beautiful and serene household is a 5 out of 5. An additional 5 stars goes to our kind and attentive hosts, Sue and Billy. We enjoyed every minute of our week long stay. The home is exquisitely appointed and welcoming from the moment you step in the door. Beautiful. From the relaxing Zen room to the sunshine filled kitchen to the inviting living room, Sue and Billy have curated this space for comfort, joy and charm. A special treat is the view of the famous Boulder Flatirons from most rooms in the house. Along those lines, the grounds are nothing short of breathtaking. The front porch is a delight and a cozy gathering spot. The backyard offers a lovely seating area and is a magical place for an outdoor dinner beneath the stars. Simply put: this oasis at the foothills became our second home. We look forward to finding our way back soon. You will treasure your stay at this beautiful Boulder property! Thank you Sue and Billy for hosting us.
