Why the Owner Chose Boulder

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.

    • This is a great place to stay in Boulder - perfect location within walking distance of the Mall and all its great attractions. The apartment is beautiful - bright, open, spacious. Nice views and excellent kitchen. We'll be back. PS Hit "The Cup" on Pearl street for great Chai late and coffee drinks.

    • We had a very comfortable week long stay. Great location close to Pearl Street and exceptional view of the Flatirons from large walkout 3rd story deck. Interior was quaint with exceptional craftmanship and upscale appliances. We had both 70 degrees with sunshine and 18 inches of snow. The hosts were very accomodating, Vivienne provided several extras for our baby. A big thanks to Lonny for shoveling a path to our car! Would definitely stay there again.

    • Vivienne and Lonny were wonderful hosts and the place was just as they said -- bright, sunny, airy, close to the mall (even for our 2-year-old to walk), and with beautiful views. I appreciated it being stocked with the basics, like sunscreen, cling wrap, and tea. We cooked and got lots of take out rather than eating out b/c the place was just such a pleasure to be in. Everything was super clean and worked perfectly -- internet, stereo, bath, etc. The Fryes also kindly provided things like a high chair and stroller so we didn't have to haul as much kid gear. I loved that. We also loved the super-comfy bed in the "nook" and the Brazilian music left in the CD player -- not sure if that was from the hosts, or from a previous guest, but it was a groovy, soulful soundtrack to our happy little family trip. Thanks, guys.

    • The apartment was to die for. Very modern,well equipped, clean and comfortable. The location can not be beat. Vivienne was very nice and helpful. Will definitely stay there again if my daughter goes to CU. Only drawback was climbing up all those stairs after skiing all day!

    • The location alone makes this a great find. Pearl St. is only steps away, I suggest the coffee at "The Cup", and CU is a quick walk away. We loved watching the first rays of sun hit the flatirons from the balcony in the morning and the lights of town twinkle on at night. We really enjoyed being able to walk to everything (food, entertainment, shopping, hiking, running) and our hosts were very gracious. Can't wait to make it back. Brett, Lindsey and Isabel

    • We had a wonderful stay at this loft in Boulder. Although compact, there is ample space for close family or friends to share comfortably. The property has all you need, although a basic welcome food pack would have been appreciated. I would recommend it, as it is in a perfect location for ALL amenities.

    • What a wonderful home/apartment/penthouse! Where do I start? The views from the top are incredible as is the view from your big king size bed when you awake in the morning! The kitchen is perfect for cooking a gourmet dinner or just making your morning coffee. The record player and records were so much fun. My younger boyfriend wasn't quite sure how they worked. Ha! We were in walking distance to everything we wanted and Vivienne's suggestion of breakfast down the alley at Lucille's was life altering. We keep threatening to come back and stay for a weekend just to wake up to that view and eat at Lucille's. I plan on coming back agian for a romantic weekend and later with my children. You cannot go wrong with this beautiful penthouse or the owners hospitality! *****Five Stars!!!
