                    Luv It. It was a romantic weekend away from the kids and it could not have gone better. This historic home is right in Downtown Boulder and we were able to walk to Pearl St. The guest suite; Beautiful , huge, luxurious, clean, very peaceful, private. We loved the fireplace and the bathroom was as good as any I have ever seen. The Schuh family handled everything. The booking was easy and they even accepted our Visa card. How fortunate were we to come to town and stay in one of the nicest homes in Boulder.

                    Recommended for: Pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

                    I hate hotels. They are noisy, scary places with all sorts of crazy fees and taxes. The last hotel I stayed at had a combined "Tax" of 18.69%. With that being said, I love vacation rental homes and this is a good one. This home is fantastic in every way and we had the entire guest suite to ourselves. This is not a shared space like so many other listings. We had a private entrance and private bath and only saw the owners once in passing. Their entire attitude was to enjoy the space and leave it like you found it. What you will find is a totally luxed out guest suite that is part of a $Million dollar + home located right in D/T Boulder. They had bikes for us - a functional kitchen and a fireplace plus a washer/dryer. The place was super clean and beats a hotel any day. Good marks all of the way around. Easy to book !

                    Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

                    Owner response: Doloris, Thanks for the nice words. Richard & I know how you feel about hotel "Fee's and Taxes" We were in Philadelphia and they charged us $20 a night to park the car ! Especially with kids, vacation rental homes make all of the difference. Having a washer and a dryer is so nice with kids. We don't have a pool, but you will find everything else.

                    It was a lovely basement apartment , beautifully decorated, very clean and cozy. The owners are helpful, kind and warm. We had plenty of room for 3 of us. Walking distance to all the wonderful restaurants and shopping. The only downside was the control room for utilities is in the unit so is a bit of background noise at night, but did not keep us awake. I highly recommend this property. The listing was accurate and it exceeded our expectations.

                    Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.

                    Owner response: Jane, Thanks for being wonderful guests. We appreciate the note about the furnace room and had the service technician over the other day. They had to replace a switch that was making the clicking noise. We love it when our guests point out things that we would never notice. It allows us to offer everyone the best experience possible. Best, Kelly and Richard

                    We had a great time in the Boulder area made even better by being able to stay in a place that felt like home away from home!! We had everything we needed for convenience and comfort and enjoyed being in such a charming neighborhood. We had a dog along and the close-by community park was a bonus. We also enjoyed our privacy while staying on this property. The guest suite is very nice and clean; it was a nice stay for a family of 4!

                    This truly is a wonderful place to stay; private guest quarters beautiful furnished and with easy access to all Boulder has to offer. Visiting from San Diego for a long weekend with plans to make for our Daughter's wedding; four of us comfortably relaxed and enjoyed the well thought out accommodation. My future son-in-law cooked us all breakfast before we set off with our little dog walking easily to downtown Boulder. Great restaurants for any meal are all here. We enjoyed the cozy fireplace with a bottle of wine and some cheeses after a busy day wedding planning. Thanks again for a wonderful stay; wish there was availability for us in September when we return for the wedding:(

                    We were looking for a quiet location within walking distance of all the fun Boulder activities and we certainly found it here! The apartment is exactly as described/pictured on the website and is indeed lovely and well-equipped. We had a wonderful week -- using our car only a few times. We have never stayed in a VRBO before, but we were very pleased by this first experience. Kelly & Richard were so respectful of our privacy. Thanks for a great time; we hope to return!

                    Owner response: Bill, So many other listings are shared spaces that do not allow for total privacy. Our guest suite has a private entrance and bathroom and the entire floor is yours to use. Our intention for every guest is mutual respect and privacy. Thanks.

                    I am a fellow VRBO property owner and found this listing as described on the site. The owner spent about 30 minutes with me showing me how they do it and I was surprised as o how much I was missing. I can see now how they are able to stayed booked most of the time. The unit is super clean and all of the furnishings are really nice. The house really is 2 blocks from Pearl Street and right in one of the best locations in Boulder.

                    Owner response: Roger, Thanks we enjoyed having you. Yes, we are 2 blocks from Pearl Street! Many time a listing will say "near, or close to" and in reality the location is a half a mile away, or more. Our guests love to walk for coffee in the morning or not have to use a car for dinner. Also thanks for leaving the guest suite in such amazing condition. For a moment I thought our housekeeper Beddie had already been here !

                    Our stay at this property was a nice experience from the booking all the way through to the final checkout. The property managers are the owners which is very convenient if you have any issues. We needed a lightbulb and a kitchen broom and the response from our text was right away. We were even allowed an early checkin after the housekeeper texted us to let us know we could arrive at 1:30 instead of 4 PM. I think her name was Betty and she had the apartment prepared beautifully. It was obvious that a great amount of care was taken with everything in perfect order. We were always able to park right in front of the home without any hassle. The last hotel we stayed at charged us $18 a night to park our car ! My husband and I have stayed at other properties in Boulder but found this one is our new favorite.

                    Owner response: All of our guests can check in early ( with no extra charge ) as soon as Beddie has completed her house keeping. Just make sure we have a cell number that we can text and we will let you know as soon as the guest suite is complete and ready.

                    I thought really- what can my husband and I add to this guest book that has not already been said. Other than one big ditto. Stayed for a week and everything was better than expected. Great house, great owners, not cheap - but worth it. Especially the bathroom, fireplace and washer - dryer. I have stayed at The Julien and we like this better for the privacy and location. CU and our daughters are right up the street and we would meet them on Pearl for coffee and late dinners. We will be back again.

We know you have many choices in the Boulder vacation rental market. When we started 5 1/2 years ago there were 34 listings on VRBO. Last time I looked - it was over 156 ! Thanks for booking again for July 2013. See you then.

                  Owner info

                  Year Purchased: 2006

                  About the owner: Richard & I are only the 4th owners of this historic Boulder home in 112 years. We have been on VRBO for 5 years and have hosted over 200 guests. The home has been carefully restored and we are proud to be the next generation to carry the torch. Richard is a small business owner and I am a Doctor. The main part of the home is our primary residence, with the guest suite being completely private. You will have your own private entrance and bath as well as a fireplace and kitchenette. If you have not already seen our video here is the link : http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aNZCKHpHrDM We look forward to having you as guests !! Kelly & Richard

                  Why the Owner Chose Boulder:
                  The home is our primary residence with the guest suite being extra space that is not needed at this time until we have children. Richard bought the home in September of 2006 just after the renovation. He was in town after an Outward Bound Excursion and discovered the home while riding a bike through the historic district. It came down to 'If I don't buy this home , I am going to regret it' So he bought it and moved from Minnesota.

                  The Unique Benefits at this House:
                  Mapleton @ 17th Street. The location cannot be beat. You will be right in the heart of Downtown Boulder and be able to walk to everything. We provide two cruiser bikes with the guest suite at no additional charge. As well, the guest suite is very private and comfortable. The architect designed it to feel like a suite in a 5 star hotel with all the amenities you would expect. Beautiful artwork & furniture. Fine linens & Towels. Washer & dryer. The home is located in a very quiet neighborhood in the historic district 4 doors down for the 'Mork & Mindy' house.
