Beautiful, well-appointed home with an extensive kitchen and plenty of space for our family of six adults. Location next to the Chautauqua and the hiking trails of the Flatirons was a real plus.

The house was spacious, beautiful and clean. Great outdoor area and plenty of rooms for a big group (we had 7). The host was excellent and very informative and available. The location was perfect. Walking distance to hiking Flatirons, CU stadium, restaurants. We had no issues with our stay and would love to come back again!
We stayed for a long graduation weekend. The location is amazing. The house is so spacious, plenty of room for everyone plus 4 toilets! It was such a lovely respite to come back to after busy activities during the day. Kurt is so easy to work with. I highly recommend the home.

About the host
Hosted by Kurt Fuhrman
It is remarkable that more than thirty years have passed since Laura and I purchased our home. We have had the privilege of living in a beautiful neighborhood with excellent neighbors.

We now invite you, your family and friends to create lasting memories in our home beneath the Boulder Flatirons.
