Beautiful home, thoughtful amenities, extremely clean, great location. I wish we had more time to stay longer. Sitting on the front porch watching the neighbors walk their dogs was only rivaled by the lovely and fragrant back yard.
This home was perfect for our graduation celebration. Very clean, wonderfully decorated and an entertainers dream. The overall experience was fabulous. I wish my daughter had 4 more years at CU because I’d stay here every time.

What makes this property unique
Unique. Relaxing. Comfortable. Clean. Peaceful. Memorable. Luxury. The perfect hub from which to explore Boulder and the surrounding areas.
It may be worth mentioning - the founding members of Naropa including Pema Chodrin lived in this house. The property is a sacred space - a healing sanctuary. I trust you will sense it upon arrival and leave feeling restored.
Almost a gallery. From pieces I picked up while traveling to those I created or found, each one has a unique story. I'm sharing them with you, trusting you'll appreciate their craftsmanship and uniqueness.
The hand-toweled Venetian plastered walls were a labor of love. The gardens have evolved beautifully over the years. The raised bed organic garden is for your pleasure and health.
Additionally, in the backyard, where Buddhists originally gathered to pray, you'll find a very charming meditation sanctuary. It's a special spot, perfect for finding your own peace and inspiration.
Private parking! As you arrive on Mapleton Ave, you will be find the flagstone and cobble driveway. It's wonderful to have a guaranteed safe place to park. If by chance you are driving a truck or oversized vehicle please park on the street.
