We had an amazing stay at Eric's beautiful home. It's an easy 10 minute walk to Folsom Field, quiet, with direct access to a park. Everything is beautifully maintained and Eric is an amazing, gracious host to work with for any issues. We would love to stay here again for our next trip to Boulder.

Best location!

Great location in Boulder! Big yard that backs to a wide open park with a sledding hill for kids. Also Boulder Creek runs right by house and is so pretty. Close to Whole Foods and outdoor mall. Beds and bedding were very comfortable. We enjoyed our time here.

Perfect House for a Weekend in Boulder

This house is super comfy and clean. Everything is how it should be to make a guest feel at home. We also loved how convenient the location was, with direct access to the highway, neighboring creek trial, and proximity to downtown. A perfect choice.

Great home, ideal location close to to CU

The house was great, as advertised. Clean, updated, nice large peaceful backyard. If you are looking to do anything at CU, downtown Boulder this is an ideal, walkable destination. Short drive to the Flat Irons as well. Highly recommend

Indeed. Xcel was doing rare power line work, and the Internet was down for two days. Appreciate how understanding you were when you told us three times it wasn't an issue, that you were happy to use data. Come back anytime, be great to have y'all stay again.

The house was in a great location- steps from CU campus and a short drive to Pearl St. The house is comfortable and well stocked. One element that will make guests feel more comfortable is to remove family photos and other personal items while guests are staying. It makes guests feel like they are stepping into someone’s house, surrounded by all their personal items. Can be a little awkward at times. We appreciated the warm welcome and clear instructions for how to best use the fear of the house.

Visiting my Buff

I visited my daughter to help her pack up for school. The house is in a perfect location near campus with many restaurants and shops within walking distance. It is literally on the edge of campus. Eric and Shanti were great hosts who were very engaged and responsive. The house has everything you need for a great stay.

Perfect location and home

This was such a lovely home and perfect for our stay during our CU weekend. Easy walking distance to campus and all of the shopping and restaurants. We loved the warm vibe of this house and quiet little neighborhood. The park just beyond the backyard is really nice if you have kids. The house was clean and everything was as described, with the kitchen being fully stocked and very comfortable beds. Check-in was a breeze, Eric was super communicative and very accommodating for us. We would def book this again!

wonderful home and owners

This was the perfect place for our long weekend visiting our older daughter at CU Boulder. Our younger 10yo daughter lover the park with playground just out the back gate. The water park was closed for the season but looks like a lot of fun. Our younger daughter left a note in their guest comments book, and the owners emailed a very nice reply which our daughter will be thrilled to read after she gets out of school today!

Good vibes is right!

Overall, this place is great. Located short drives from campus, which was why we were there, to stores, Pearl St., and all of Boulder. The snowy cold weather prevented us from outdoor activities, but there is a huge park over the back fence with paths, play areas, and an impromptu sledding hill. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, we stayed warm when inside, the kitchen was fully furnished so we could have cooked easily. There is a pillow on the couch that says "Good Vibes", which is very appropriate. We felt at home or like we had walked into a good friend's home.
