Summary: I was in Boulder to be near son/grandson and this spot was great. Close to hiking. Bed very comfortable. Bathroom chilly on cold days (below zero) lots of sun in the kitchen. Loved the resident cats!
Kacie H. Jul 24, 2023 02:04:00 AM
Summary: The cottage was perfect for my week in Boulder. Close to campus and Pearl Street, Boulder creek access, all walkable. Tucked into a beautiful quiet neighborhood with close access to the mountain hiking trails as well. Full kitchen, perfect for a single or couple looking for a little getaway in Boulder. Jean and Jim were lovely hosts, plenty of privacy but also, Jim helped me get to the bus to the Denver airport the day I left. A short walk to and from the bus. Great people, with two sweet little black cats that were so friendly. Definitely recommend!

Summary: This cottage is a hidden jewel in one of Boulder's most attractive neighborhoods. Perfect for a couple and easy walk to University Hill for dinner or to Chautauqua for a hike. The neighborhood is very quiet and offers easy access to the university. If there's anything that you would need, Jim and Jean are on it! Highly recommended for the perfect in town Boulder get-away!
