About this property

Beautifully restored historic Boulder landmark home - Downtown Boulder

The city of Boulder is known not only known for its outdoor adventures but also for its history and stately landmarks. Standing strong, beautifully restored and in downtown a few blocks to Pearl Street Mall is the historic Hannah Barker House. Trails, bike path, Boulder Creek, farmer's market, shopping and great restaurants all in easy walking distance. A lovely porch for rocking, beautiful gardens and outdoor spaces to gather are all features that will enhance your stay. The home was originally built in 1875 but became the subject of a 5-year community project to restore the structure. From 2011 to 2016, the 2,780 sq. ft. home would go through multiple phases of renovations and restorations. Today, after 5,000 hours of volunteer work, it embodies historic charm and elegance, but inside is a new contemporary upgraded home. The entire interior is new from floors to plumbing to electrical to custom finishes. Location could not be more central!

Lovely historical house

Our hosts communicated well, had the house clean & ready for our stay. The furnishings are beautiful and comfortable. The house is in a quiet neighborhood well located for hiking, walking to the Pearl Street pedestrian mall & access to shopping. We will happily book the house again for our next stay in Boulder!

Historic Downtown Dream Home

We had the pleasure of spending one week in this special house and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The proximity to downtown and nearby trails can’t be beat. The home was very comfortable and well appointed with everything we needed to cook meals and relax. We highly recommend this home and hope to visit again someday.

Great fall weekend

Came in for a long weekend and football game. The house is really cool. It is a historic landmark but with an exceptional renovation a few years ago. Great kitchen, yard for relaxing, all the amenities. Highly recommend!

Great house, great location

This is a beautiful historic house, fully renovated and with all modern amenities. From a great front porch with rockers, to a fire pit area and outdoor dining, to modern bath/showers, everything makes for a relaxing stay. The owners are very responsive and in contact to be sure all is well. The location is perfect with easy walk to the creek, Pearl Street, etc.

Boulder Gem!

Wow, what a wonderful place! We stayed at this house with our family for a long weekend and it was perfect. The location is walkable to all of Boulder's great amenities, Boulder Creek, Pearl Street and CU Boulder. The house has a gorgeous view of the flatirons from the master bedroom, which is so nice to wake up too. The kitchen is fully functional and the rest of the house is decorated so cool. We will be back! Gallaghers

A true gem in all respects!

We absolutely loved the house! It measured up to the listing and more. David and Carmela did an absolutely fabulous job in renovating it, while maintaining the character of the original house. It's very well appointed, and from the moment you walk in, you can tell that it's not just a house; it's a home. Unlike many rental properties with generic decor and furnishings, this home is definitely not any of that. They live in the house, and it's obvious from the start that they've poured a lot of love and hard work into it. Anyone who stays in this home benefits greatly from all their efforts. Functionally, we loved the all modern tech (which is not over-done or complicated) in the lighting, AV and climate control. Just like the furnishings, this too provided maximum comfort in all respects. Also, the location was perfect! We wanted very walkable access to downtown Boulder (Pearl St., etc.), CU campus, Boulder Creek, and Folsum Stadium; and this location delivered 100%. And in a town where street parking is at a premium, the big driveway is a God-send. The outside patio with the fire pit, grill, Italian patio lights... it's the cherry on the top. Last - but most certainly not least - David and Carmela were great! They were always very responsive, communicative, and wonderful to work with! Thank you both for sharing your home! We thoroughly enjoyed it, and we hope to return again!

Excellent Home and Location

We were so happy to have been able to stay at the Hannah Barker house. We almost had to cancel but we are so happy we didn't. We truly enjoyed the unique design and the wonderful decor. Location and size is great for a family to gather. Super easy to walk to Pearl Street for a nice dinner. And easy to get to campus! We can't wait to come back for another stay.

The perfect spot for visiting Boulder and the home was nothing less than comforting and inviting.

The owners made us feel as though we were family. They were so at ease we felt the warmth that the house gave as a home to others.

About the host

Host profile image
We are excited to share our home with you! We are longterm Boulderites that love the outdoors, love food and art, are entrepreneurs, are active in our community and love to travel. Our girls have graduated college now, and we do love to play! Our home base here at Hannah Barker House is perfect for all we love in Boulder!

Why they chose this property

Downtown Boulder is the best! We have trails and the creek, the Farmer's Market and the best restaurants, Chautauqua park and CU all within walking distance!

What makes this property unique

This is a very special property that is located the center of the city close to everything! It has a long history, but is new and modern and comfortable with an open floor plan and true soul. Hannah Barker who owned this home in the late 1800's and early 1900's was remarkable: immigrant, teacher, civic leader, business women, philanthropist, and influencer. She is our muse and you will feel her feisty energy in the home!
