Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kaleo & Jim
We enjoy hiking, biking and being outdoors and feel fortunate as Boulder has got to be one of the best places in the country for these activities. We would be happy to suggest different things to do here in Boulder during your stay.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. We have had a chance to live in many parts of Boulder, but the University Hill/Chautuaqua Park area is got to be one of the best. It is just a great old neighborhood. So, close to the mountains for hiking, within walking distance to CU and downtown. In our opinion it just a great spot to be if you are visiting Boulder.
What makes this property unique
The main house was built in 1904 and the cottage in 1925. Just love all the old quirky things that you notice with these old houses. The cottage is just super cute!
