The home felt welcoming and comfortable overall. Once we entered the home, my family and I immediately felt safe and relaxed after traveling for a long time. We were very glad to borrow the kitchen to make home-cooked meals, use available rooms to organize our clothes and kids' clothes, and play with the kids' toys Merrin provided. I would reserve this home again when we return to Boulder, CO.

Such a beautiful, light filled house with a peaceful back deck off the kitchen and off the primary suite too. Our host couldn't have been nicer. It was super clean and well equipped. And, literally two blocks away from a beautiful park in the foothills of North Boulder - Wonderland Trail. Walking distance to some great restaurants and bakeries. We had a fabulous time.

The owner was great. She called before our trip and gave us all the information and insights we needed about the house and neighborhood. She also called during our trip to check on our stay.The house is a three-story, five-bedroom home. Only two of the bedrooms on the second floor, which share a bathroom, are rented out, along with access to the living room, kitchen, and dining area on the first floor. A powder room on the first floor would have been nice.This is the owner's residence, so it feels more like a home and less like a full-time rental, which has its benefits, including a pantry full of spices and cooking supplies. My daughter baked some brownies and needed extra flour, which was available in the pantry.The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. Overall, it was a great house, and I would definitely stay there again.

Great location! Nice neighborhood with easy walk to amenities and trails. Easy drive to the national park. Take the Old Fall River Road to the top at RMNP if it is open. We saw moose and elk and many amazing views on the way to 12,000 ft. Would definitely stay here again!

My husband, daughter, and her 10 month old had an amazing visit in Boulder, much of which was the result of our stay at The Riverside House. The home is so welcoming and stocked better than any rental we’ve ever stayed in! Merrin is an excellent host; timely responses, and going over and above by leaving toys for the little one, etc. We hope to stay in her beautiful home again someday, if she’ll have us! The location was perfect!

This large older home is in a lovely very peaceful North Boulder neighborhood with mature trees, a small adjacent creek, lots of bunnies, and two decks to enjoy the setting. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the pantry well stocked. Both bedrooms and the bathroom are on the second floor. Readers and musicians will find special treats.Lucky's Market and Bake House are a short walk away. As is Dagabi Cucina. All are excellent. An underpass just down the street connects to Wonderland Lake. Merrin is a very thoughtful host, attentive, and delightful to communicate with. We'd be happy to return on another visit to Boulder.
