Chautauqua Neighborhood in Central Boulder/Lovely 4 BR/3 BA
This lovely four bedroom home with fully renovated interior and outdoor spaces is perfect for family entertaining. Owners live here for much of the year and the property is available on a limited basis, mainly in the summer. City of Boulder Short-Term Rental License Number RHL2016-00026. Note language below about on-line booking.
Large upscale home (~2,800 sq ft) is located 2.5 blocks from Chautauqua Park and the majestic Boulder Flatirons. Ideal, quiet neighborhood furnished with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and all amenities. Open living space on main floor with beautiful kitchen/living room/dining room. 2 BR/1BA on main floor, 2 BR/2 BA on upper floor. Lower floor family room with custom HD flat screen entertainment center. Top floor deck with spectacular views of Flatirons. Main floor has perfect flow to back deck for indoor-outdoor entertaining.

House is fully equipped with high-quality kitchen and linen supplies. Granite countertops, 10-person dining room table, breakfast bar for three, piano, and tasteful artwork. Fantastic restaurants and shopping nearby. On-demand movie streaming, Blu Ray DVD, & Bluetooth stereo system, but no cable TV. Plenty of reading material and wi-fi throughout the house.
Home is centrally located, approximately 12 blocks west of the University of Colorado but far enough away from campus to be peaceful and perfect for morning or evening walks. Traveling to Pearl Street Mall is about a 3 minute drive, 5 minute bike ride, or 15 minute walk. There is a self-contained English garden space with own entrance that may occasionally be occupied by owner (this space is in addition to the 2800 sq ft noted above). We are an active family who lives in the house for much of the year, but travel much of the summer and other select times during the year. The home is very well maintained and clutter free.
We live in a quiet neighborhood and prefer to rent to vacationers who will not have a negative impact on the neighbors. Specifically, that means the fewer automobiles the better, no large parties are allowed, and longer stays (over 3 days) are prioritized. The house can sleep up to 10, but we prefer to limit families to 8 and the number of vehicles to 2, or at most 3, in order to minimize impact on neighbors. According to Boulder regulations, no more than 5 unrelated people can rent the house; in other words any group of more than 5 should be related family.
We prefer to speak to vacationers in advance of booking and do not have instant on-line booking enabled. The reservation process is safe and streamlined.
30 minutes drive to Eldora Ski Resort, 2 hours to the major ski resorts (Vail, Copper, Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge), and about 40 minutes to Rocky Mountain National Park (Estes Park), Denver, Blackhawk Casino, and other fantastic Colorado destinations.

Five adult family members had a great stay in Boulder for a family wedding. Jeff is a very accommodating host and communication was great.Would highly recommend.

Thank you for taking such nice care of the house, Larry! Glad you enjoyed your stay.
We had a wonderful weekend at Jeff’s house. The location is perfect and the house is comfortable and had everything we needed for a weekend of reconnection and time together. Thanks!
Great location! Easy access to Chautauqua Park, restaurants. Safe neighborhood. Clean but could stand a 'detailing.' Split-level house which was not a deal-breaker as it was apparent from listing photos, but something to know for accessibility reasons etc. Responsive host. Fairly priced. Multi-generational trip that everyone enjoyed!
We were entranced by the Flatirons views and it is a roomy place for a family of four to stay and enjoy Boulder. Close to Chautauqua for hiking and Pearl Street for shopping.

The house was perfect for us! Plenty of space and the backyard was perfect for kids. Walking distance to the foothills and the owner was very responsive and helpful.
Very good communication and instructions from the owner. It’s a quiet, safe neighborhood that is walking distance to hiking trails at Chautauqua and a short Uber to Pearl Street and the Hill. House was well stocked with everything we needed and beds were very comfortable.
We loved this house. The location could not be better and the house is beautiful and user friendly. The nine year old in our group was especially delighted with the trampoline. Beds were very comfortable We highly recommend it!
This house was perfect for our visit to attend our son’s wedding.
There were seven of us and we all had plenty of room.
The location was great and the yard and patio were a plus. Sure beats staying in a hotel.
Jeff was a fantastic host and his home and property were clean, welcoming, and perfect for our family. We felt so at home there and loved starting and finishing our days enjoying the peaceful and cozy backyard and patio space.
Clean, well organized house with spaces for both privacy and communal gathering. Very nice backyard with two covered sitting areas. The location is very convenient to the trails at Chautauqua and within walking distance of downtown. Our family had a very relaxing four days there and hopefully will return soon.
We had family coming in from out of town and needed to find a local VRBO that could accommodate them. This property was perfect! 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, plus plenty of room for us to gather together with them there for meals and talking while the kids played on the trampoline or with some of the provided children's playthings. There are seating areas inside and outside. It is a lovely home, and we were very happy that we chose it.

Thank you, Diane. I'm glad this place worked well for you and your family.
The home was a wonderful place to base our Boulder adventures and graduations celebrations from. The pictures were spot on -- the location incredible - and the backyard was perfect for grilling out and relaxing. The owner was very responsive. Check in was easy and communication smooth!
Our family really enjoyed our stay in this welcoming home in the Chautauqua Park neighborhood. It was conveniently located near the hiking trails and also close to the “Hill” where we were moving our son back to the CU campus. Plenty of space to spread out and a beautiful backyard oasis. The house was very clean and had all of the amenities you would need. Communication with the owner was fantastic. We would definitely stay again.
