Charming Miner's Cabin

LauraRating, 5 stars6 days ago
A stay at Anne's is like stepping back through different layers of time. The house itself is old, a true authentic miner's mountain cabin! It felt like a stay at Grandma's - cozy, quiet, and antique - yet with modern amenities. A fully equipped kitchen for those seeking to cook. Most of our time was spent either outside in the beautiful and peaceful yard by the creek, or inside on the window bench seat. The bed was very comfortable too! We had two dogs with us, and they enjoyed it also. We tried out the hike nearby and it was perfect with how close it is to the cabin. To get a full understanding of what you are renting you should recognize this is not a commercial sanitized rental operated by a company! This is truly like staying at a grandparents cabin, with it's own quirks and charm. The previous reviews all do a good job describing the area and the house - windy roads, cyclists, nature, and all else that comes with a trip to the mountains of Boulder. We loved our stay!

Nicely remodeled townhouse - Boulder

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved our stay! The neighborhood is quiet and conveniently located. We felt right at home in this cozy, homey place. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Both bedrooms have a smart TV, plus one in family room. And super plush wall-to-wall carpeting upstairs for maximum comfiness. We also really liked the motion-sensor nightlight system throughout the house. The kitchen had tons of equipment in it so you'll be all set if you cook. Keurig for no-fuss coffee, and coffee pods available in all different roasts. We were 10 minutes from downtown Boulder and right next to 29th street mall, which is a terrific shopping center. I went on some runs during my stay and was so excited to discover a bike/walking path just 5 minutes into my run (off Iris Ave). Brian was so laidback and accommodating about everything. Barely any check-out duties, so it was really easy when we had to leave before dawn to catch an early flight back home. 10/10 recommend this place.

Breathtaking Mountain Retreat with stunning views

JeffRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
What an amazing place! Beautifully appointed and fully decked out with everything we needed. The privacy and views were spectacular — an incredible mountain retreat close to Boulder. We enjoyed the large-screen TVs, comfy furniture, and the hot tub — perfect for unwinding. I worked remotely during our stay, and the internet was lightning fast. The kitchen had all the cookware, appliances, and dishes we needed to prepare several dinners. Bathrooms were spotless, and the beds were super comfortable. The hosts were incredibly communicative, helpful, and genuinely welcoming — we felt right at home. We loved every second of our stay and couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Awesome stay. We were hardly there but it was super cozy. Didn’t use the gym or fire pit but those are nice additions. Her doggos are very nice and friendly too! My favorite was the tea setup and being able to have a cup before bed each night. Comfy beds, cozy vibe, well stocked, plush bedding and towels - no notes it was great. Thank you Christen!

Dreamy Bohemian Bungalow - Quiet, Walk to Pearl

AmeliaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
SUCH an adorable house!! Vivienne’s house looks like it is straight of a magazine, but is also incredibly comfortable and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and we loved being able to walk to dinner. There is space to work (and the WiFi to keep up with zoom calls) and there are so many cute, special details. To top it all off, Vivienne made us feel so welcomed and was a phenomenal host. Highly recommend!!

A really nice place! We were visiting Red Rocks, RMNP, and The Flatirons, so location was great for all of those. The place was quiet and piecful (which you don't always find in a hotel) and the neighbors were also nice. An Airbnb with all the rules that come with one and a home that had all the amenities we needed and absolutely met our expectations. Zeona and Ben, thanks for sharing your place with us!

Your guide to Boulder

Welcome to Boulder

Just 30 minutes from Denver and surrounded by 45,000 acres of protected open space, Boulder is an outdoor lover’s town with urban flair. Located in the Boulder Valley where the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains collide, its geographical mascot is The Flatirons — craggy sandstone formations that tower above the town. The unique makeup of Boulder’s citizenry includes more than 35,000 University of Colorado students, techies plugged into the town’s thriving startup scene, scientists working at three national laboratories, and world-renowned athletes who come here to train at high altitude. They all contribute to the town’s crunchy play-hard culture; this is a place as much known for health food restaurants as it is for a booming brewery scene. Boulder has all the charm and recreational opportunities of a mountain village with the culture of a much larger city.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Boulder

Boulder enjoys roughly 300 days of sunshine a year, and a mild climate thanks to its high altitude. That means even on balmy days, you may be in for a crisp evening. Spring in Boulder is warm and sunny, and Pearl Street is covered in thousands of tulips. Summer is a busy festival season, but also brings the hottest weather, particularly in August. In fall the leaves change color and temperatures dip, but are usually pleasant for hiking. Winter is a peaceful low season, accompanied by moderate snow. Any time you visit you’re likely to find several events going on, celebrating ideas ranging from classical music to yoga. In May, international crowds gather for the hugely popular BOLDERBoulder 10k Road Race.


Top things to do in Boulder

Chautauqua Park

Head to this gorgeous park at the base of the Flatiron Mountains to tromp more than 40 miles of scenic hiking trails and get a little closer to those dramatic rock formations. The grounds are also home to an auditorium that hosts the Colorado Music Festival, which features international artists over six weeks in July and August.

Media Archaeology Lab

Located on the University of Boulder campus, this unique collection of historical devices includes phonograph players, Commodore 64 computers, and other relics of technology’s past. They all work, and visitors are encouraged to get hands-on with the collection. Visits are by appointment only.

Go Tubing

Few activities embody the pace of summer more than lazily bobbing along, toes in the water, sun on your face, and your bum in a tube. You can launch a tubing trip on Boulder Creek where it curves through Eben G. Fine Park, just a short walk from the town’s commercial center, and spend the day floating along. Tubing season is roughly May through June. You can buy or rent tubes in town, as well as schedule a pickup once you’re ready to dry off.
