About this property

Hikers Heaven, Amazing Location in Boulder - Near Chautauqua Park

Enjoy a bright, private upstairs apartment in our 1904 home—just 2 blocks from Chautauqua Park and a 10-minute walk to campus. The space includes a separate entrance, queen bed, full bath, and a well-equipped kitchenette (microwave and mini-fridge—no stove).

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING:
This is a quiet, respectful home shared with your hosts, who live directly below the apartment. We welcome travelers, visiting parents, business professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts—but if you're looking for a party pad, social hub, or romantic escape, this isn’t it.

We greet all guests in person between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m. If you're looking for a fully hands-off or high-traffic space, this likely isn’t the right fit.

No visitors are allowed on the property beyond the reservation. If you're coming to visit a CU student (for move-in, Parents Weekend, or any other reason), all time with them must take place off-site. We've had guests treat our property like their own private dorm extension.

Quiet hours are 24/7. That includes music, loud voices, and—yes—overly expressive celebrations. Please respect the shared nature of the home and the fact that others live here.

Absolutely no food in bed/bedroom. You’re staying in a clean, well-kept space with white linens and a memory foam mattress. Pizza grease and bed linens do not mix. Please use the large kitchen provided for eating.

No third-party bookings, no smoking, vaping, or pets. Max stay is 14 days. Regarding parking (you’ll park on-street about 150 ft away).

BOOKING PROCESS:
We’re not on Instant Book—please send an inquiry first. This helps ensure a good fit before confirming. We love hosting respectful, low-impact guests and are happy to answer any questions you have.

Thanks,
Jim & Kaleo

Above and beyond

I had an amazing experience with this stay. The hosts went above and beyond to make me feel at home. The location is just perfect, only steps away from the most magical hiking. The beautiful university campus is a 15 minute walk away, and the main street with lots of restaurants, shops etc. is about a 20 minute walk. The apartment itself is even larger than it appears in the photos. It had great light from many windows, the internet was fast enough for an online meeting I had, the kitchen had everything I needed, and there was so much information about Boulder made available in a binder prepared by the hosts. I would 100% recommend!

The perfect get away for you and your partner. This charming one bedroom apartment at the base of the flat irons is the perfect locale for all of your Boulder/Denver excursions.

Quick piggyback trip on a work event.

We decided to extend a work trip by 4 days and stay in Boulder. The location was perfect - easy walks to Pearl street, Boulder creek path and hiking trails. The apartment was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed. The little touches like phone plug ins on both side of bed, grocery bags for shopping and organic coffee made the stay easy. Highly recommend it and we will be back.

Best VRBO ever!

This is a lovely place to spend a couple of weeks. Very nice, quiet neighbourhood, lots of trees! VERY close to Chatauqua for easy access to Boulder trails, four minutes walking max to an excellent cafe, very close to the bus route and to downtown Boulder. The hosts were very nice and friendly, very concerned to know if anything was needed, and responded promptly to any request that I had. The apartment was well outfitted as advertised. I plan to stay here again when I return to visit Boulder.

Fantastic vacation stay!

First time coming to Boulder, we weren’t sure what to expect. But this apartment and city’s atmosphere blew us away! If you’re worried about privacy there is nothing to worry about here! It felt as if we were on our own the whole vacation, the home owners were very respectful of privacy and we really appreciated it. The upstairs apartment was very clean and cozy! Really was taken back when we first stepped foot up there. Extremely convenient to downtown campus and flatirons, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a reasonable stay with fantastic owners to anyone! We really couldn’t thank them enough, any questions or requests we had they made sure to meet. It was a flawless stay. Anytime we come back to boulder this will be the first place we check out! Thanks again for having us.

Homey, clean, lots of details, great location

This apt with private/separate entrance was 2 long blocks from Chautauqua (it's on the Hill). Very quiet neighborhood away from students, parking available around the block (about 200 feet). Owners extremely thoughtful about the space: adequate power outlets, charger cables, tourist booklets, guidebook for area, lots of convenience items like Q-tips, etc. Great wifi, lots of options on streaming TV, very clean, new fixtures, extremely comfortable/firm (memory foam?) bed with different kinds of pillows to choose from, great linens, portable AC unit (it's an upstairs apt that can get warm but AC is good). Brita pitcher in fridge was a plus. Coffee maker with permanent filter was eco-friendly but a slight drag to clean out each morning. Clearly a 'personal' not a 'corporate' kind of vibe, they like to meet the tenant and give some restrictions (no shoes, no parking in front). I was a bit conscious of walking around and making the floors squeak a little in this pretty Victorian though I was mostly out during the day. Total silence in the space, no intrusions, no problems except maybe would have been nice to have some half-n-half in the full-size fridge for my coffee (no stores within easy walking distance) and claw-foot tub/shower was clean and worked well but curtain was a bit awkward and tub a bit tricky if balancing on one foot (overhead handle was good though). Tons of attention to detail that should be applauded.

Cozy Spot in Boulder

This unit is located in a beautiful old neighborhood, lots of trees, and close to the centerpiece of the the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parksy system - Chautauqua, with extensive hiking trails. It is also not far from the Pearl Street Mall, walking street with loads of shops and eateries. It was the perfect spot from which to enjoy all that Boulder has to offer and a good jumping off point for the various sights and things to do in the Denver, front range area.

Cozy clean apartment

We stayed at this cozy apartment in October. Owners were quick to respond to any questions and were very helpful. As stated in the description there is a clawfoot tub with shower. it was not an issue for us but could be with a person with limited mobility. Our initial lodgings we had made fell through at the last minute and we were lucky that this apartment was available. Great location to Pearl sSreet and many parks.

Perfect Getaway!

Jean & Jim could not have been nicer or more accommodating. The location is perfect (a short walk) for hiking at Chautauqua Park, close to everything Boulder has to offer and walking distance to Alpine Modern, a great little coffee shop. The apartment was very comfortable and cozy (especially with the snow outside) and I could very easily live there. It had everything I needed including a comfortable bed, a wonderful claw foot bathtub and a great sitting area to view the Astros games! :) The kitchen was well appointed with coffee, tea, snacks and everything I needed to prepare meals or refrigerate groceries or take out. I would highly recommend this property and plan on staying here again the next time I am in Boulder! :)

Comfortable and quirky appartment on University Hill

I spent 10 days with my daughter starting as a freshman at CU Boulder in this property and we had fantastic time! First of all the appartment is very cute, comfortable, clean and well equipped. The owners are fabulous people, welcoming and extremely helpful. The position is great in walking distance to the university, buzzing Pearl Street and Chautauqua Park where you can enjoy breathtaking hikes on the mountains. My daughter is now part of the Buff s family and I am looking forward to spending more time in beautiful Bolder with great people like Jean and Jim . Thanks for the unforgettable experience!

Great apartment. Comfortable neighborhood. What's not to like?

The apartment was clean, spacious and comfortable, just as described. The proprieters, Jean and Jim, lived in the downstairs portion of the house and were pleasant and unobtrusive. They also provided a wealth of information about hiking and outdoor opportunities. The apartment is within easy walking distance of the campus (especially the Memorial Center) and the neighborhood is quiet. Especially pleasing was the short walk to Chataqua, an excellent park and hiking area (with a pleasant restaurant as well). The dining/entertainment part of the town was a short (5 minute) drive away. Here there are several wonderful places to eat (note: our home is New Orleans). The neighborhood also has several restaurants within walking distance and nice coffee shops. We heartily recommend this place to others.
