Winter Park Studio: On the River~ Walk Downtown!

RosieRating, 5 starstoday
We had a gorgeous 3 nights in Billy & Desiree’s cabin. They have thought of everything you could need and the cabin is warm and cosy. The bottle of wine was delicious, bed super comfy, plentiful supplies of tea and coffee and the location of the cabin was so peaceful, on the edge of the river. There is a great Rec Center with pool, hot tubs and gym which was great at the end of a long day of activity. We couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable & restful place, assisted by super responsive and helpful hosts & we definitely recommend this beautiful place. Thank you so much Desiree & Billy.

Well-Appointed Apartment in Downtown Boulder

JoJoRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had the best stay at Alison’s place! We were attending a wedding at a local hotel and the location of the Airbnb was perfect (18 minute walk or 5 minute drive). The home itself was so clean and beautiful. We loved drinking coffee on the patio each morning! We also loved walking up and down pearl street which was just a quick walk from her front door. Lastly, Alison always responded quickly and answered any questions we had. 100% would recommend staying here and we would absolutely stay again if we come back to the area.

Great Downtown Condo - 2BR, 2Bath. Parking!

LaurelRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Barbara's place is fantastic! Great location to walk to Pearl St area, quiet and safe. TONS of great restaurants, shopping, ability to safely stroll the neighborhood. My sister and I did a 3 night stay for a little get away and it was wonderful to each have our own bedroom and bathroom, a great kitchen/dining/living room area to prepare meals and relax in the evenings to chat and catch up. Comfortable beds, great water pressure in the shower and plenty of hot water. Nice dark curtains in the bed room to block out the light when sleeping. Lots of beautiful light streaming in to the living room area and ability to open the windows and balcony screen door for fresh air. Barbara is an excellent communicator and host and we highly recommend her place and would stay there again when our travels take us back to Boulder.

Charming Miner's Cabin

LauraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A stay at Anne's is like stepping back through different layers of time. The house itself is old, a true authentic miner's mountain cabin! It felt like a stay at Grandma's - cozy, quiet, and antique - yet with modern amenities. A fully equipped kitchen for those seeking to cook. Most of our time was spent either outside in the beautiful and peaceful yard by the creek, or inside on the window bench seat. The bed was very comfortable too! We had two dogs with us, and they enjoyed it also. We tried out the hike nearby and it was perfect with how close it is to the cabin. To get a full understanding of what you are renting you should recognize this is not a commercial sanitized rental operated by a company! This is truly like staying at a grandparents cabin, with it's own quirks and charm. The previous reviews all do a good job describing the area and the house - windy roads, cyclists, nature, and all else that comes with a trip to the mountains of Boulder. We loved our stay!

Castle In The Clouds - Jacuzzi Tub

WillowRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We absolutely loved our stay here and feel very lucky to have had the chance to live in this beautiful home for a short while. The view of the mountains is unbeatable, especially when the clouds settle low and the mist rolls by the windows. This place felt quite literally like a breath a fresh air on body and soul. The hosts were kind, communicative, and put a lot of care into this retreat. The castle in the clouds is one of my favorite airbnbs I’ve stayed in, and I am looking forward to a return.

We really appreciated Heather’s place, it was really well located for what we needed and very efficient, especially as we didn’t require a full kitchen. Heather is a very good host, responds quickly to questions. We were only sorry we didn’t have more time to walk around town and enjoy all the Pearl Street restaurants and shops. Would definitely return.

Your guide to Boulder

Welcome to Boulder

Just 30 minutes from Denver and surrounded by 45,000 acres of protected open space, Boulder is an outdoor lover’s town with urban flair. Located in the Boulder Valley where the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains collide, its geographical mascot is The Flatirons — craggy sandstone formations that tower above the town. The unique makeup of Boulder’s citizenry includes more than 35,000 University of Colorado students, techies plugged into the town’s thriving startup scene, scientists working at three national laboratories, and world-renowned athletes who come here to train at high altitude. They all contribute to the town’s crunchy play-hard culture; this is a place as much known for health food restaurants as it is for a booming brewery scene. Boulder has all the charm and recreational opportunities of a mountain village with the culture of a much larger city.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Boulder

Boulder enjoys roughly 300 days of sunshine a year, and a mild climate thanks to its high altitude. That means even on balmy days, you may be in for a crisp evening. Spring in Boulder is warm and sunny, and Pearl Street is covered in thousands of tulips. Summer is a busy festival season, but also brings the hottest weather, particularly in August. In fall the leaves change color and temperatures dip, but are usually pleasant for hiking. Winter is a peaceful low season, accompanied by moderate snow. Any time you visit you’re likely to find several events going on, celebrating ideas ranging from classical music to yoga. In May, international crowds gather for the hugely popular BOLDERBoulder 10k Road Race.


Top things to do in Boulder

Chautauqua Park

Head to this gorgeous park at the base of the Flatiron Mountains to tromp more than 40 miles of scenic hiking trails and get a little closer to those dramatic rock formations. The grounds are also home to an auditorium that hosts the Colorado Music Festival, which features international artists over six weeks in July and August.

Media Archaeology Lab

Located on the University of Boulder campus, this unique collection of historical devices includes phonograph players, Commodore 64 computers, and other relics of technology’s past. They all work, and visitors are encouraged to get hands-on with the collection. Visits are by appointment only.

Go Tubing

Few activities embody the pace of summer more than lazily bobbing along, toes in the water, sun on your face, and your bum in a tube. You can launch a tubing trip on Boulder Creek where it curves through Eben G. Fine Park, just a short walk from the town’s commercial center, and spend the day floating along. Tubing season is roughly May through June. You can buy or rent tubes in town, as well as schedule a pickup once you’re ready to dry off.
