For our last night in Colorado we decided to get out of Denver and go to Boulder... hotels seemed a little pricey for what they were so we turned to VBRO and found this gem! The cottage is perfect for the price and location in a cute neighborhood walking distance to Pearl Street as well as hiking trails. Carol Anne was a great host with excellent dinner recommendations, walking routes, etc. We hope to make it back next time we are on that side of the Country!!

Very Quiet, Relaxing Stay!

I loved my stay in this small carriage house, right in the middle of historic Boulder. The house is a small studio - perfect for one person or a couple. It's an older place - so if you're expecting new construction or ultra modern, you should be prepared that it has the character and charm of the neighborhood it is in. Very quiet in the evenings, and the location is perfect for running and hiking into the foothills. The skylights pour in lots of natural light, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've stayed on. The only real downside was the lack of cell service in the area. The cottage is right next door to the main house, also, so while you generally won't hear anything, you should be aware that you'll have close neighbors. My stay was trouble free, and I'd recommend this little getaway if you want a different, inexpensive Boulder stay within walking distance to all the amenities of Pearl Street.

I enjoyed your guest house. It’s absolutely adorable! I may be back and forth between Seattle and Boulder for the next month or so. I’ll be sure and check with you once I get solid dates.

The unit did not meet our expectations since it did not have a sink in the bathroom, but the owner has now refunded part of the costs to our satisfaction.

Great Carriage House--Easy Walk to Downtown Boulder

This is a great place to stay. Really quiet, and in a nice, historic neighborhood of Boulder. It is about 5 blocks from the Mount Sanitas and Red Rocks hiking trails, and 4 blocks from downtown Boulder...coffee shops, shopping, bars, restaurants, and the Pearl Street Mall.

Our stay with Carol Ann was very pleasant. The cottage is small but very clean and comfortable. The location is excellent for walking to Pearl Street Mall and Boulder Creek. Carol Ann makes you feel very welcome. We have visited Boulder several times staying in Hotels and Condos in the past. The cottage is great for 2 people and the location is excellent. You can't beat the price. We would definitely stay again. Thank s Carol Ann.

Great location but had issues

This is a great location and the unit is quaint. However, there were issues when I stayed there, some of which appear to have been rectified. I would have reviewed directly after my stay, but this option wasn't available through VRBO in 2009, at least not without owner approval of the review, and I knew it wouldn't be "approved". The unit was listed as having AC, internet, a microwave, and a stocked kitchen. It had none of these things (only two wine glasses and no other dish ware/cutlery/cleaning supplies/toilet paper, ect). But from more recent reviews, it seems it is equipped now, except for the AC. In regards to the missing items, I was told by the owner to go buy them and she would reimburse me. When I said I didn't have time to do this on my vacation, she said that she didn't understand "why I couldn't just help her out." I found this very unprofessional. Also, it does get very hot without AC. Furniture was moved in and out daily while I was there, which was disruptive. The most bothersome issue, though, was when I addressed my concerns to the owner, instead of simply admitting there were problems and working to fix them she told me I was a "negative person" and she was "about positivity" and "was above" my complaints. I found this insulting, inappropriate and unprofessional. A final note, if others are staying at the house for rent on the same property, there isn't much privacy.

I would def recommend this spot for anyone who wants to explore Boulder's downtown by foot - it is perfectly located near both the foothills and Pearl Street Mall. The owner is super friendly, welcoming and very accomodating! The cottage is very comfortable, clean and has great light! Also a very affordable place for Boulder, Colorado. You can't go wrong with this charming, cozy space!

Great location

Located in a great downtown neighborhood, we were able to walk everywhere. The space is small, but quite comfortable, with all amenities, and a very accommodating owner close by. Our only problem was that we were there during a major heat wave, and the room quickly became unbearably hot. However, the owner has plans to improve the air-conditioning, and that will surely remedy the only drawback.

Owner response:The unit now has air conditioning.
