Be aware of the cancellation/refund policy before you rent. You may consider purchasing Trip Cancellation Insurance for added protection.
The Frye House’s Policy is as follows: A sixty (60) day notice is required for cancellation. Cancellations that are made more than sixty (60) days prior to the arrival date will incur no penalty. Cancellations or changes that result in a shortened stay, that are made within 60 days of the arrival date, forfeit the full advance payment and damage/reservation deposit. Cancellation or early departure does not warrant any refund of rent or deposit.
There are many different types of trip insurance available, but Trip Cancellation and Interruption protection is the most important benefit you should look for. If your trip has to be cancelled for covered reasons such as illness, accident, death of a family member or traveling companion, jury duty, weather conditions which cause delay/cancellation of travel or fire or flood in your home, this coverage protects your investment and will reimburse the normally non-refundable payments you make for your vacation rental, airline tickets and other covered travel related fees.
If you miss your planned departure for a covered reason, you may also be covered for additional travel expenses to reach your destination. If you have to interrupt a trip due to a covered illness, this insurance will cover your transportation home.

Why the Owner Chose Boulder
This property is more than a vacation property, it is part of our home. We live on the premises in the main house with the penthouse being a stand-alone property. This insures that while you have complete privacy, you also have the peace of mind knowing that help with anything, be it a problem with the space, the need for more towels, or advice on where to eat or to go for an adventure is just a few steps away.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
You will leave your heart in Boulder if you stay at the Frye house. You will not find better accommodations, views, amenities and location anywhere else. From the moment you arrive you will feel at home and relaxed. Whether your goal is to relax, check out the nightlife and dining, do business, visit family or check out the local real-estate, you will find everything you need here.
A gift from our city. A feast for the eyes and the appetite with a lovely rose garden and outdoor dining.
Some of the finest microbrews you'll ever taste. Kid and vegetarian friendly.
Wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner. The croissants are house made. It takes 4 pounds of butter to make 36 of those bad boys. Delightful and tony.
A great hike to get your blood pumping and work up a great appetite.
Central American fare with ceviche, empinadas, seafood and more. Great happy hour.
Fantastic vegetarian fare that will make even the more devoted carnivore happy.
