Boulder Mountain Paradise - amazing views and tranquility!

LUXURY FURNISHED HOME ON 13 ACRES IN THE FOOTHILLS OF BOULDER, COLORADO Only a 15 minute drive from downtown Boulder, but worlds away. We are thrilled to share our Boulder foothills mountain retreat just minutes from the heart of Boulder, Colorado. Whether you are in the Boulder area for a long weekend or for a few weeks our home will guarantee you the best that Boulder has to offer. This large 3500 square foot home offers the serenity of the foothills on 13 acres of land, all the while a short drive to downtown Boulder and all it has to offer – world class restaurants, breathtaking hiking trails, the University of Colorado, a vibrant start-up community, and scientific labs. Come here on vacation, a writing retreat, to visit family, for seminars at the university, or for business. Our home can sleep 6 adults comfortably in our three bedrooms (each with a King or Queen bed). There is a large living/dining room and sun room with high ceilings, a loft with large screen 3D television, a big open-plan master suite (king bed) including a jacuzzi bath and a steam shower for two, a second bedroom (queen bed) on the ground floor, and a large study with a comfortable queen sized futon upstairs. The bedrooms and the study each have access to their own full bath. On the main floor you will find a large south-west facing living room with tall picture windows displaying pine trees as far as the eye can see and a beautiful valley below. The living room has a big stone fireplace, a high fidelity stereo system, a 42 inch HD television, and a dining table that seats 8. On the side of the living room is a fully equipped kitchen. Next to the main living room is a bright and cozy sun room with a wood burning stove. This area is ideal for reading the newspaper in the sun over a Sunday breakfast, or for opening a bottle of champagne before dinner in front of the wood stove. Also on the main floor is a bedroom outfitted with a queen sized luxury bed (Sterns and Foster) and a full bath. Upstairs above the main living room you will find an open-plan study with a queen-sized futon-style bed. This room has a private full bath. The property sits on 13 acres of land with sweeping private views. A large flagstone patio in front of the living room and sun room allows for outdoor space on warm days and nights. (Given the sunny exposure this could be at any time of the year.) There is parking available for many cars on an unpaved driveway. You will be a quick 8 mile drive to the heart of downtown Boulder – even closer to other parts of Boulder including endless restaurants, brewpubs, grocery stores, and other conveniences. We have listed daily prices, and a discounted price for weekly rentals (7 days). We may be able to consider monthly rentals (28 days) - please enquire. Also, don't hesitate to look for this property on a major competitor's website (name starts with an "A") where total prices, fees included, will likely be cheaper due to VRBO's ever-increasing fees structure.
