The 2600 sq. ft. home is located in a quiet residential community in South West Boulder, which is my primary residence.

The home has direct access (across the street) to the most extensive mountain hiking trail systems in Boulder County. Hike the trails to the Eldorado Canyon, the Flatirons, Boulder creek, or to the historic Chautauqua Park, all virtually out the front door from our home. And we're just 10 minutes from downtown.

Our place is perfect for:
- anyone wanting to stay in Boulder cheaper than the motels and hotels.
- access to a larger space than a hotel room but you're on a budget.
- nicer mattresses and sheets that most hotels
- families with kids & dogs
- those that love to cook
- travelers who love a large yard with a grill, large trees, and lots of private nature

Guests also have full access to all of the amenities. These include high-speed wi-fi in every room; access to wireless color printer / copier/ scanner. High-thread count sheets and bedding, towels, hand soap, hair dryer. Brand new top-of-the-line spring mattresses that make for a great sleeping experience.

Also included are items like free washer and dryer use (we supply the natural laundry soap), plus full access to the basics of a well-stocked pantry (oils, spices, etc). About the only thing you'll need to bring is your own brand of shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, etc. This is a chemical-free, smokeless home. The pantry is stocked with many assorted cooking basics, so you'll find many things you need.

Direct access to hiking trails, extensive mountain and road bike trail systems, 5 minute walk to major bus routes to downtown Boulder including the famous outdoor Pearl Street Mall and seasonal Farmer’s Market or a 20 minute bike ride on Boulder’s extensive and dedicated bike trail system. Only 45 minutes to trail heads accessing the continental divide or 1 hour drive to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Local ski area (Eldora), with both downhill and extensive secluded cross country and skate skiing trail system, is only 45 minutes away and major ski areas, including Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin, Loveland are a 1 to 1 ½ hour drive.

Flexible and Comfortable Stay in Beautiful Neighborhood

I stayed at Alicia's place for a month while starting a PhD and looking for my own place to live. Alicia was wonderful - she was communicative, flexible with my schedule when my lease move-in date changed, and great with my dog. The basement space was large, clean, and had all the basics I needed. I enjoyed using the trails up the road from the house and having lunch with Alicia and other guests on the sunny back deck. Would definitely recommend!

Alicia was great

I enjoyed my stay. Alicia was friendly and helpful. I liked the seclusion of the two bedroom unit. Another review said it was cold but I was invited to turn up the thermostat if I felt cold. There was some disruption during my visit but i was minimized to the extent possible by Alicia. I would stay there again if my situation warranted it.

Fantastic in every way

This location blew me away. The house has a great vibe, convenient location for trails and errands, and incredible views. Great hot water, cozy lighting and furniture, and quiet. Perfect wifi for WFH. The host is low key and accommodating and I would stay here again!

Excellent location, wonderful host

I had the privilege of staying at Alicia's basement apartment for two and a half months. Not only is Alicia's house optimally located - Bear Creek is literally yards away - but the house is quiet, accommodating, and lovely. Alicia herself was a wonderful host and warm person. The basement was spacious and had everything I needed. Parking is easy and accessible. The trails are right outside the front door.

A great place to stay in South Boulder

This is a perfect place to stay in South Boulder... close to the hiking trails and not far from the bus line, the Table Mesa center, yet very quiet at night. Place is nicely done, the beds are comfy, and Alicia is a great host. We'll be back!

Best Experience Yet

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Boulder thanks to Alicia's hospitality. The attention to detail was perfect! We never expected to find specialty toiletry products , access to the hosts kitchen supplies, and a spotless, comfortable environment! Let's just say this is THE BEST experience we have had with a vacation rental. Beautiful location as well at the base of the Flat Irons with trails across the road. You won't regret staying with Alicia!

Cute and clean

Unit itself was very clean and nice. However it is advertised as a private space but it is nothing more than a basement of the owner’s house. It was strange to have to walk through a living room/kitchen to enter our unit.

Accommodation and location exceeded my expectations.

I was the only one on the property during my stay in the 2-bedroom basement, but the friendly, safe, residential location plus the ease of safe entry made even my late evening arrival easy and comfortable. Alicia’s daughter checked in on me, but I had everything I needed and it was spacious and clean. The access to walking and biking trails at the base of the mountains was great. I mostly used one bedroom, but there was plenty of closet and drawer space for both to be occupied easily. The shower bath was nicely done and the small kitchen had small appliances and a roomy half fridge. I will definitely stay here again.

Awesome home-away

Beautiful house. Great view of the Flat Irons and the Devil's Thumb. Very close to trailhead to Bear Mountain Canyon. Quiet neighborhood. $11-12 Lyft ride to downtown Boulder. If you're staying in the downstairs suite and someone is staying upstairs, you pass through part of their space to get to your space. A private entrance to the downstairs suite would be desirable, or at least a lock on the downstairs door. We had a great time and good assistance from Alicia, Would consider the whole house for a family reunion we're trying to put together for next year.

Quaint, quiet place to stay close to Boulder but away from hustle and bustle

My family of 5 stayed here in the basement apartment for Ironman Boulder, found it to be nice, quiet, and convenient. Minutes away from downtown but away from the busy areas. Beds were comfortable, as was the living area. Kitchen had just enough of what we needed, and there’s a full kitchen upstairs if needed. While we didn’t opt to rent the whole house, that was an option, though renting the basement was enough for us and certainly a step up from renting a hotel room for the family. I’d definitely stay here again.
