Beautiful location close to everything

Beautiful home in Boulder Canyon. 4 generations of family members enjoyed a Christmas week in this home. Interesting layout allowed family to spread out and do their own thing. Hot tub is large. Views from hot tub and home in general are glorious!Mornings on the front deck with coffee were wonderful as we enjoyed the views & sounds of Boulder Creek babbling by. We enjoyed our easy trips into Downtown Boulder! The location of this home is perfect!

Family Thanksgiving

This was the perfect property for our family members from 4 states to celebrate Thanksgiving. The host was always available to address any questions or concerns promptly. Unlike previous VRBOs we have stayed in, this house is well supplied with all needs. The hot tub was definitely appreciated, as was the foosball table. If we gather again in Colorado the whole family votes for this property.

Incredible Mountain Home

We absolutely loved Larry’s place in Boulder Mountains! Everything was as advertised and even better! The home slept 7 of us perfectly and everyone was comfortable. The setting, streams, hiking and short distance to downtown Boulder for our daughter’s graduation was ideal! We would love to stay here again!

Not great!

We never received check in info until we got a hold of the housekeeper. Towels were stained hanging on towel bars. Bugs everywhere they even climbed up on the beds. We left a day early because it wasn’t great. The decks are great, it’s close to town, and they had ample towels/linens and kitchen was well stocked. They also had extra tissue, paper toweling & toilet paper. The carpeting & rugs need commercial cleaning.

Boulder AND the Mountains

A beautiful location for spending time in Boulder and the beautiful mountains and hiking trails! The house is large, fun and funky. The best activities are just sitting on the patio to enjoy the view or hiking right out the door.

Concert weekend in boulder

We had an amazing stay at Boulderhaus. Larry couldn’t have been better to work with the whole stay. The place is special. Awesome mountain house but super close to downtown. We stayed during dead and company final tour weekend and couldn’t have had a better time here. Would recommend this place over staying anywhere in the city.

Excellent location !!! Great house!

Great house with tons of space for our family of 4 just minutes from downtown Boulder. We enjoyed being remote in the woods (we loved watching the rabbits, chipmunks, birds) and being in nature and at the same time being able to easily go into town or get on a trail. Great communication with the host.

Boulder

We had a great time staying here! Manager was fantastic! Loved the different patios and decks. Loved all the flowers and especially the hummingbird feeders. Close to Boulder but far enough away to feel you are in the mountains. There are lots of steps but loved logging them in on my phone. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location. 10 min to wonderful shops snd restaurants. 30 min to skiing.

We enjoyed our stay at Boulder Hauss. The location is perfect for quiet night to see the stars while close enough for dinner in Boulder. The owner, Larry, was great to work with and responsed quickly to a minor request that we had. Only slight negative is that furniture and bedding are outdated. Although the hot tub is brand new.

Great place

We came up here to mountain bike and found that the house was perfect in regards to the location . It was nice being so close to Boulder and yet feeling the relative solitude of the mountains. The Jacuzzi was a big bonus. The kitchen, living and dining room were perfect for hanging out after our rides. Having parking as well as garage space allowed easy storage for the bikes as well as on and off loading our gear. We had a great time and it slept the five of us comfortably.

Boulder Family Vacation

Beautiful, convenient location just outside of downtown Boulder. We had a wonderful vacation in this home. The home needs some standard maintenance and modern upgrades. Attention to detail was lacking (for example: broken kitchen cabinet door and broken master bedroom screen door) and attributed to the slightly lower review.

Great location in the mountains yet close to city

This home is nestled right into the mountains yet really close to Boulder and Pearl St. It is a nice home that is pretty well taken care of. We questioned the cleaning crew upon arrival because they left the heat down really low so we were popsicles until the house heated up which took a while. Luckily they provided a lot of warm blankets. Overall it was a fun relaxing stay and a comfortable property.

Excellent Mountain Location

This property worked great for a long weekend in the mountains. Location is excellent-in the mountians but also close to Boulder/Pearl Street/Ned. You can do a little bit of city stuff (shopping restauranrts/bars) and a little bit of mountain adventures (hiking/nature/Ned). You will defintiely want an all wheel drive vehicle if staying here during the snowy months of Colorado. The openness of the living space was also very nice for the size of our group. There were seven adults in our group and the property never felt crowded.

family visit to meet new grandchild

The property was as described, we did have to take care with the small children and stairs, same as anywhere. Property was beautiful, clean, and the space suited our needs. As others have mentioned, the dishwasher didn't completely clean, we just pre-rinsed and checked before using. But otherwise, a great stay and we enjoyed the beautiful home.

Our temporary mountain home

This house was perfect for the 4 of us. We each had our own room and two bathrooms worked out fine. The location made for an easy trip into downtown Boulder but far enough out of town for beautiful night skies from the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked although we mostly ate out. The house was clean but carpets and some of the upholstered furniture seemed a bit stained and in need of maintenance and some of the rooms could have used a fresh coat of paint. This was just superficial wear and tear and certainly didn’t affect our comfort. The hot tub was well maintained. We could have used some additional heavy blankets in each bedroom since it was very cold at night. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and I would recommend this home to friends.

Why they chose this property

Unique Craftsman home built into a south-facing hillside of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just west of downtown boulder. Perfect blend of an Alpine Environment while very close to town. Walk out hiking biking and fly fishing. Great place to entertain as well as raise our child.

What makes this property unique

When I purchased this house I took an old friend from Taiwan with me to look at the property. He explained that i must buy the property as it has the "feng shui" of an emperor. The south facing aspect and flanking hills with the water in front below and wooded hills at your back it is the perfect place.
