"There are very few places to bring children on a vacation where you feel like there are more toys, games and thoughtful touches for them than you would find in your own home. The fact that they were so happy made the adults in the house have a truly relaxing and fun time too. I can't say enough good things about this lovely home!!" Aimee

Location:
We’re tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac with friendly neighbors and lots of privacy. Right across the street is a small forest with trails—great for little explorers.

You're just minutes from Boulder’s extensive bike trail system, nearby parks, and playgrounds. Quick access to Foothills Parkway and Arapahoe Ave makes it easy to get to downtown Boulder, the mountains, or Denver.

5 minutes to grocery stores (Whole Foods, Safeway)

10 minutes to Pearl Street Mall and Boulder Canyon

"We can't say enough about how much we loved this house! Its so full of love, and warmth, that we hope to emulate some of this within our own home. All 10 of us felt very much at home and can't imagine that anyone, wouldn't. From the kitchen, to bedrooms, to playrooms, to the backyard, was such a pleasure to be in, that we still marvel at how much time and care must have been put into such an amazing house." Mehul from Austin, TX

PLEASE NOTE: Boulder occupancy limits stipulate that a maximum of 4 unrelated adults or up to 10 related adults and children are allowed in the home.

Convenient & Comfortable

Stayed at property for CU’s Family Weekend. House was super convenient to campus. We enjoyed the comfortable areas inside & out to relax and visit with our Buff. Nothing was lacking in the rental. Owner was easy to work with and communicated everything I needed to know. Would definitely rent again.

Good times in Boulder

A group of long time friends gathered in Boulder for a wedding, and a few of us stayed together at this property for the weekend. The house was perfect for us. The large, open living space provided a great communal setting for us to hang out, while the individual bedroom provided plenty of privacy when folks wanted to retire for the night. The location is in a quiet area that is a quick drive to the more action-packed downtown scene. Communication with property owner (Joli) was great. She was on top of everything and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Only thing that was a little different from what we expected is that one of the pictures shows a bunk room. However, none of the rooms actually has a bunkbed in it. This was just fine for our group, but it could throw others off. All in all, an excellent house!

Perfect fit for our family

This place was just what we needed for our family to celebrate our son's wedding. The house was warm and welcoming, clean, well-appointed, and very kid-friendly. Nice yard for playing, relaxing, and eating. And great neighborhood - walkable, easy access to trails and downtown. Our host was helpful and responsive. We'd love to return.

Great kitchen and backyard - inaccurate listing re: bathrooms

The best things about this house were the kitchen (those windows go on for miles... and it was incredibly well stocked) and the backyard, which is beautifully landscaped with two patio options as well as a hammock. A warning to other small groups who may be booking this large home to accommodate many adults or a large family. The listing of the number of bathrooms is incorrect. The listing says "5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms". However, you're only getting 3.5 bathrooms. There is a full ensuite bath upstairs, and another full bath upstairs. In the basement, there are 3 bedrooms but only 1 full bath. And then there's a half-bath on the main floor.

Grateful guests

Our family was visiting Boulder for an extended weekend. We truly loved this home. We enjoyed easy access to downtown, we played tennis nearby every day, we relaxed on the back porch. The neighborhood is very quiet, and felt very safe. The communication with Joli was great. Honestly....could not be happier with our experience. Thank you!

Graduation at CU

There were 10 of us ranging in age from 25 to 81 in town for my son’s graduation. The place was perfect for our group. Great communication before and during our stay. The house was beautiful and well stocked. Also, the location was great, near a paved trail, a 5 minutes drive from campus and 10 from Pearl Street. Would definitely recommend this property!

Family oriented home

We had a wonderful experience with the owner, Joli. The home was exactly as described and pictured. The owner’s guide book provided valuable resources, suggestions, and FAQ’s. Our group consisted of my adult children and their spouses and my grandchildren ages ranged from 1 to 8. We were traveling to attend my nieces wedding. The owner provided a portable crib and high chair for the baby. The owner also provided puzzles, toys, and games for the children to play with. I cannot think of one aspect of our stay that would need improvement. We highly recommend staying in this home.

Family vacation in Boulder

We were 10 people from 3 immediate families (one extended family) vacationing for a week together. Bedrooms were quiet and comfortable. All bedrooms are up or down one level from the main living area. The kitchen / living space is spacious and comfortable, and the outside garden is private and lovely. We enjoyed our stay and the owner was responsive when we needed anything. Thank you, Joli.

Family-friendly home in a centralized location

My family and I rented Joli's home for four nights. The home was clean and met most of the needs of our large group (10 people). The kitchen was stocked. There were ample cleaning supplies, if needed, and laundry room included detergent. The location is convenient and in close proximity to bike paths, restaurants, and shopping.
