About this property
Historic Victorian - Easy Access to CU, Pearl Street and Hiking
This home has a warm, welcoming vibe. A guest described it best: "the home gives you a hug" when you walk through the doors. Built in 1901, this Victorian Painted Lady Farmhouse sits on the corner of the entrance to Newlands Neighborhood west of Broadway. It is rumored that the house was once occupied by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in the 1970's. If you listen hard enough you might hear something.
This house sits on 1/3 of an acre with a fantastic yard for a BBQ and lawn games even in some of the winter months. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom. There is also a full bath downstairs. There is a "hangout room" with a TV upstairs as well as 2 additional TVs on the lower level. You will have full use of the house and yard. I have a couple of bikes that may be used to enjoy our bike-friendly city. You will be just 3 blocks from a City Recreation center with an indoor pool and hot tub. There are also outdoor tennis and pickleball courts behind the Rec Center.
3 Bears House is only a few blocks from the foothills of the Rockies, so you can start hiking out the front door without driving your car!
Note: Should you need to cancel a reservation for an unforseen circumstance, I will work with you as long as I can rebook the dates. I might also be able to allow for a future stay.

The Perfect Staging Area
About the host
Hosted by Grace Thomson
I owned a bridal shop for 25 years in Boulder until 2006. Currently I am retired and enjoying every minute. Originally I am from New Jersey and loving the lifestyle out here. Vacation renters like you have allowed me to stay in my beautiful home.
I have two kids that live in the area and I enjoy playing volleyball, pickleball, gardening, biking and local music!

Why they chose this property
You can walk to Pearl street in 20 minutes or ride a bike in just 10 minutes. My yard has plenty of room for yard games. My large deck provides plenty of space for outdoor gathering. Please NO Late PARTIES!
What makes this property unique
Being on a bus line is a huge bonus. You can leave your car home. I also recently installed an EV charger. I am also just two blocks from the foothills for hiking and 2 blocks from a Recreation Center with a pool.
