Serenity and Convenience

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful retreat in Boulder. Nestled in nature, the property offered the quiet and calm we were hoping for, with Pearl Street being a close drive. Waking up to the sound of birds and fresh mountain air was a dream. Highly recommend for anyone wanting the best of both worlds—serenity and convenience. The host was very accommodating as well. We will definitely be back.

Great location. 10 min to wonderful shops snd restaurants. 30 min to skiing.

We enjoyed our stay at Boulder Hauss. The location is perfect for quiet night to see the stars while close enough for dinner in Boulder. The owner, Larry, was great to work with and responsed quickly to a minor request that we had. Only slight negative is that furniture and bedding are outdated. Although the hot tub is brand new.

Treehouse Views

Boulderhaus is a great spot, easily accessible from downtown Boulder. We have been traveling to Boulder a lot over the last four years and this is the first time we have stayed outside of the city proper. We had originally rented for Thanksgiving weekend last year but my husband needed emergency surgery, forcing us to cancel our stay just days before our rental began. Larry kindly allowed us to change our dates. We are thrilled to be here in time for the Boulder Film Festival while relishing this quiet retreat among the trees during down hours. My husband has been working from the third floor desk which is the equivalent of a nice tree house. If you need to relax while being productive, this is the place to do it. Many of the reviews note the number of stairs which made me slightly concerned about what we would find. I had to laugh when I actually saw them. Yes, there are stairs as this is a multi-level house and you enter on the ground level. To the right and outside of the house, there are stone steps to two lovely patio areas and the hottub. To the left of the house, there are also stairs that could be hazardous to some but there is absolutely no need to take them. Access is easy without going close to the road. The house is well -equipped for any type of cooking you might enjoy. There is even a tap system installed. Hopefully, our family will gather here for future holidays and enjoy the many comforts Boulderhaus has to offer. It will be a pleasure to return.

The house is good except that we really did not enjoy all the bugs we found indoors. Host tried to get us some remediation and we continued vacuuming them up. Suggest that someone check on this immediately before guest arrival.

The location is ideal for anyone who has outdoor plans (biking in the mountains for us) as well as anybody that are doing activities in Boulder (CU football/shopping for us) It was a “5 minute away oasis” from a busy downtown with patios, hammocks, and beautiful trees surrounding the property.

Beautiful location close to everything

Beautiful home in Boulder Canyon. 4 generations of family members enjoyed a Christmas week in this home. Interesting layout allowed family to spread out and do their own thing. Hot tub is large. Views from hot tub and home in general are glorious!Mornings on the front deck with coffee were wonderful as we enjoyed the views & sounds of Boulder Creek babbling by. We enjoyed our easy trips into Downtown Boulder! The location of this home is perfect!

Family Thanksgiving

This was the perfect property for our family members from 4 states to celebrate Thanksgiving. The host was always available to address any questions or concerns promptly. Unlike previous VRBOs we have stayed in, this house is well supplied with all needs. The hot tub was definitely appreciated, as was the foosball table. If we gather again in Colorado the whole family votes for this property.

Not great!

We never received check in info until we got a hold of the housekeeper. Towels were stained hanging on towel bars. Bugs everywhere they even climbed up on the beds. We left a day early because it wasn’t great. The decks are great, it’s close to town, and they had ample towels/linens and kitchen was well stocked. They also had extra tissue, paper toweling & toilet paper. The carpeting & rugs need commercial cleaning.

Incredible Mountain Home

We absolutely loved Larry’s place in Boulder Mountains! Everything was as advertised and even better! The home slept 7 of us perfectly and everyone was comfortable. The setting, streams, hiking and short distance to downtown Boulder for our daughter’s graduation was ideal! We would love to stay here again!

Boulderhaus Stay

I want to be fair in this review so I'll start with the pros. Great location. Close to town yet in nature. Property Mgr was quick to respond the few times we had an issue. Cons: Some of the furnishings are run down. We had our adult children and spouse with us. Most needed to do some online work each morning. At 9 a.m. each day the internet slows so much it is not usable. It was that way for several hours. We couldn't tell if the dishes in the cupboards were clean. They were spotted and crusty. We scrubbed what we needed for our stay. Used towels were hanging on the back of a bedroom door. In summary, if I were staying with a bunch of old college buddies for a weekend this would probably be great. But our family would not return.

Excellent location !!! Great house!

Great house with tons of space for our family of 4 just minutes from downtown Boulder. We enjoyed being remote in the woods (we loved watching the rabbits, chipmunks, birds) and being in nature and at the same time being able to easily go into town or get on a trail. Great communication with the host.

We had a great time staying here! Manager was fantastic! Loved the different patios and decks. Loved all the flowers and especially the hummingbird feeders. Close to Boulder but far enough away to feel you are in the mountains. There are lots of steps but loved logging them in on my phone. We would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at Boulderhaus. Larry couldn’t have been better to work with the whole stay. The place is special. Awesome mountain house but super close to downtown. We stayed during dead and company final tour weekend and couldn’t have had a better time here. Would recommend this place over staying anywhere in the city.

Why they chose this property

Unique Craftsman home built into a south-facing hillside of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just west of downtown boulder. Perfect blend of an Alpine Environment while very close to town. Walk out hiking biking and fly fishing. Great place to entertain as well as raise our child.

What makes this property unique

When I purchased this house I took an old friend from Taiwan with me to look at the property. He explained that i must buy the property as it has the "feng shui" of an emperor. The south facing aspect and flanking hills with the water in front below and wooded hills at your back it is the perfect place.
