Map & Owner's Profile
Historic Highland Guest House - Downtown, on Boulder Creek
Year Purchased: 1978
Why the Owner Chose Boulder
After the renovation of Historic Highland, I custom built four residential town homes nestled on the bank of Boulder Creek. The Highland Guest House is town house unit #4 and sites on the grounds of Historic Highland surrounded by lush trees, award winning gardens and Boulder's most popular creekside pedestrian and bicycle path system.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The Highland Guest House sits perched on the bank of Boulder Creek and the extensive Boulder Creek Path. Stretching from the mountains of Boulder Canyon, through downtown Boulder, out into the plains, the Boulder Creek Path is great for walking, jogging, biking, and rollerblading.
While staying at the Highland Guest House our guests have access to the Highland City Club, Boulder's inspiring social club, and the business services of the Highland Office Building.
Perhaps the most popular destination for visitors and locals alike, the Pearl Street pedestrian mall holds over four blocks of the best restaurants and shops Boulder has to offer.
Running alongside Boulder Creek is the seven-mile-long Boulder Creek Path, which is great for walking, jogging, biking, and rollerblading. Stretching from the mountains of Boulder Canyon, through down
Head West on Canyon Blvd. into Boulder Canyon and the gateway into the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Owner's Map of Boulder
As a young man I fell in love with Boulder and decided to make it my home. I went on a quest to find the perfect building to house my office. The Historic Highland School, built in 1891 and perched majestically on the high bank of the Boulder Creek, was perfect. I purchased Highland and began the painstaking task of bringing her back to life. Twenty-seven years later, surrounded by graceful, award winning gardens and peacefully flowing creeks, this historic landmark is a true Boulder gem!
