Experience true Boulder soul in this historic bungalow. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street near trailheads and Pearl Street, it’s the ultimate home base for your 30+ day stay.
The Space:
Welcome to your home away from home, an airy, bohemian bungalow that balances historic charm with the modern comforts you need for a seamless monthly stay. The heart of the home is a spacious great room defined by tall ceilings, refinished wood floors, and a cozy gas fireplace that anchors the open floor plan. Whether you are prepping a meal in the fully equipped kitchen or gathering in the attached dining room, the house feels light, intentional, and filled with character. For those looking to work from home, the upstairs office loft offers a quiet, sun-drenched retreat tucked away from the main living areas, helping keep your productivity high.
The sleeping quarters are designed for deep rest, headlined by a generous master suite featuring a large walk-in closet and a private ensuite bathroom with a deep soaking tub and separate shower. Three additional bedrooms feature comfortable queen beds, while a fifth bedroom is thoughtfully curated for families, equipped with two twin beds, a changing table, a pack-n-play, and essential extras like a white noise machine and humidifier.
You can spend your mornings on the lovely covered front porch watching the neighborhood wake up. With modern appliances, manicured landscaping, and reserved off-street parking for 2 vehicles, every detail has been taken care of so you can settle in immediately.
Living here puts you in the sweet spot of Boulder’s most prestigious and quiet family-oriented neighborhood. You are perfectly positioned between the rugged outdoors and the city's best culture. One direction leads you to the Mt. Sanitas trailhead for a morning hike, while a short walk brings you to the vibrant Pearl Street Mall. You’ll be close enough to grab the best sourdough in the city or a world-class espresso, yet far enough away to enjoy the peace of a historic, tree-lined street.
If you’re traveling with a dog (fees apply), they’ll find plenty of shade in the yard and miles of walkable paths nearby. This is the kind of neighborhood where neighbors wave from their porches and everything you need is just a few blocks away, making it the perfect place to call home during your stay in Boulder.
Wintertime in Colorado brings many opportunities for play and adventure, as well as seasonal hazards that require consideration. AWD or 4WD capable vehicles are recommended from November - April for all guests. Please plan your travel accordingly. We are not responsible for guests' ability to access roads or parking due to weather conditions.

The neighborhood:
The vibe in Boulder is unapologetically casual; it’s a community that prioritizes sunshine and trail time over the 9-to-5 grind. You’ll find world-class athletes, tech innovators, and local artists all grabbing a coffee at the same corner cafe—usually in their favorite worn-in fleece. It’s an "outdoor living room" where everyone is invited to slow down, take a breath of mountain air, and just exist.
When you’re ready to explore, the Pearl Street Mall serves as the city’s cultural heartbeat. This four-block, brick-paved pedestrian stretch is where the local flavor really shines—think street performers playing the banjo on unicycles, independent bookstores like Trident, and some of the best farm-to-table dining in the country. Just a few blocks west, the city gives way to the wild. You’re never more than a few minutes from a trailhead, with the iconic Flatirons and the steep, rewarding climbs of Mt. Sanitas right at your fingertips.
While Boulder feels like its own world, you’re perfectly positioned to explore the rest of the Front Range. Denver is an easy 30-to-40-minute drive away, giving you quick access to professional sports, big-city museums, and a thriving nightlife scene. If you’re flying in, Denver International Airport (DEN) is a straight shot down the highway, typically taking about 45 minutes to an hour. It’s just enough distance to keep the city noise at bay while keeping global travel within reach.
For the ultimate Colorado experience, Rocky Mountain National Park is just 40 miles north—roughly an hour’s drive through some seriously scenic winding roads. Whether you’re looking for a quiet afternoon stroll or a full day of alpine exploration, Boulder acts as the perfect gateway. You get the best of both worlds: the peace of a tight-knit mountain town and the convenience of being centrally located to Colorado's most famous landmarks.
Top Things to Do:
• The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse: A hand-carved masterpiece gifted by our sister city in Tajikistan. It’s the best spot in town to sit by the creek and sip on one of 100+ loose-leaf teas.
• Boulder Farmers Market: Rated the best in the country for a reason. Head there on a Saturday morning for locally grown greens, live music, and the best seasonal food trucks (no outside commercial vendors allowed).
• The Boulder Theater: An Art Deco landmark that hosts everything from big-name bands to indie film festivals. Even if you don’t go inside, the neon marquee is the most photographed spot in town.
• Chautauqua Park: Grab a blanket and sit in the massive meadow at the foot of the Flatirons. It’s the ultimate "vibe" spot for a picnic while watching climbers tackle the rock faces above.
• E-Bike Tour of the Boulder Creek Path: Rent an e-bike and cruise the paved path that runs through the heart of the city, shaded by cottonwoods, all the way from the canyon mouth to the eastern plains.
Top Restaurants & Happy Hours:
• River and Woods: Casual "community-sourced" comfort food in a converted historic house. Their backyard "forest" patio is arguably the best dining atmosphere in the city.
• Avanti F&B (Happy Hour): A modern food hall with a rooftop deck that offers the best sunset views of the mountains. Go for the drink specials and stay for the variety of high-end street food.
• Lucile’s Creole Cafe: A local legend for breakfast. It’s tucked away in a tiny yellow house—get the beignets and the spicy poached eggs.
• The Bitter Bar (Happy Hour): For the cocktail enthusiast. It has a moody, speakeasy vibe and serves up some of the most creative drinks in Boulder at a fraction of the price during their daily happy hour.
• Oak at Fourteenth: If you want a "fancy but casual" Boulder dinner, this is it. Everything is cooked over a white oak-fired grill. The kale salad here is legitimately famous.
Top Hikes:
• Bobolink Trail (Easy): A flat, scenic stroll along South Boulder Creek. It’s perfect for bird watching and getting your legs under you without the elevation gain.
• Mount Sanitas (Intermediate/Difficult): The "local’s gym." It’s a steep, rocky loop right at the edge of downtown that gives you a massive cardio workout and 360-degree views in under two hours.
• Royal Arch (Intermediate/Difficult): Starting from Chautauqua, this trail takes you through the woods to a massive natural sandstone arch. It’s a bit of a scramble at the end, but the photo op is worth it.
• Mesa Trail (Intermediate): This rolling trail hugs the base of the Flatirons for miles. You can go as long or short as you want, wandering through pine forests and open meadows.
• Bear Peak via Shadow Canyon (Difficult): For the serious hiker. It’s one of the highest points in Boulder. It’s a grueling climb, but standing on the jagged summit makes you feel like you’re on top of the world.
