About this property

Pocket Rental Available Early Summer

This home is nicely appointed with wood flooring and tasteful furnishings. All of your kitchen 'basics' are supplied. A sunny modernized kitchen has a granite island for sipping wine, eating breakfast or enjoying Boulder's home brews with skylights above.

The front area can be separated nicely for someone that may need to work from home and have the "family privacy" more to the back of the house. You will need to see this to appreciate it! Parking is plentiful. The new rear deck faces south for plenty of sunshine.

The location of this house is ideal for access to any part of Boulder, Longmont or Estes. It is on the bus line and it is 1/2 block from the Folsom bike path...head South to Folsom Field (home of the Colorado Buffaloes). The Pearl Street Mall is just a 5 minute bike ride or a 20 minute walk. The back yard is quiet and nicely groomed for privacy. You can walk to shopping, coffee, restaurants... where the locals go! No pets please.

Great location!

We rented this house for our daughters graduation from CU, the location was perfect and the house worked well for my husband and I and my parents. The home is a little dated but clean and very comfortable for just kicking back! Thanks Grace it really was the perfect place to stay!
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
I am so pleased that the house worked well for you. We are continuously upgrading the house. After your rental, we installed some custom blinds to keep the house nice and cool in the summer months. We also just purchased some bikes that future renters can add to their rental for a reasonable price.

Perfect weekend

I visited Boulder for a weekend of mountain biking with three friends. This house was perfect for the four of us. The location was very convenient to Pearl Street and several bike shops as well as mountain biking trails north and west of Boulder. The accommodations were very comfortable with a spacious kitchen, pleasant back yard and BBQ grill. I will definitely consider staying here again on a return trip to Boulder.

Great House! Definitely coming back!

We stayed here for my sister's graduation and the house was perfect. Centrally located near campus and walking distance from a Safeway and other essential shops. The house itself was very nice. We had three adults and two children and it was the perfect size. The backyard is big and great for barbequing, with views of the mountains. We didn't use the hot tub, but I could imagine that on a snowy night it would be a perfect way to unwind. We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
We noticed that they had 8 cars in the driveway when we drove by.....so it worked for celebrating the Graduation in the yard. The house was left in great condition and we would be happy to have them back any time!

Iris Home

We were in town for a large softball tournament. The house was so convenient to our fields, shopping, freeways and pretty much everything we needed. There was plenty of parking for visitors. The house was well equipped for all our cooking needs. The squirrels are extra friendly along with plenty of bunnies. Woke up one morning with a beautiful 5 point buck on the porch. Highly recommend this home. Owner is also very responsive to any needs or questions.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
Our location is really ideal for events like yours. Wedding parties and CU families find the house convenient as well. Parking can often be an issue if you rent near Pearl Street. Our property provides room for easily 4 or more cars at a given time.

Wonderful for family

This is a beautiful comfortable home. The kitchen/ dining area is open and perfect for the family to visit and enjoy each other. The backyard feels secluded, with a lovely deck overlooking the lawn where our children played. It is equipped with some toys and games, and the kitchen has all the basics. Grace was kind enough to place a ramp for my son with a wheel chair to get into the house. I would definitely recommend staying here. Close to great Thai food too! Grace was very helpful! We stayed here to attend a wedding in Lyons, and it was perfect! Thank you!
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
You were fabulous renters. It is hard to find a home that is on one level for seniors and wheelchairs. Your input was valuable for making things more accessible for renters in the future.

Great Location

This house was on a busy street but tucked away for privacy. It was a stone's throw to restaurants, a great coffee shop and the grocery store! We enjoyed playing Jenga and putting together a puzzle. The only down side to our trip was that it was unseasonably warm, so us Texas folks would've enjoyed some type of fan in every bedroom. ha Grace was always quick to respond and very pleasant to talk to. There were 6 of us and we used all 3 bedrooms and the pull out in the study....soooo much better than a several hotel rooms! Boulder was a lovely town!
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
People from the South and warmer climates always have a rough time adjusting to our land of "less air conditioning". It really cools off nice in the evenings and you can leave your window open. This said, I think your suggestion of adding some additional fans is a GREAT suggestion!! I just installed a nice ceiling fan in the Master bedroom. I also plan to buy a portable swamp cooler for the dining room.

Perfect location!

We spent the holidays in Boulder CO this year, and chose Grace's home for our stay. It was perfect! The location was excellent; close by shops, great bakeries and coffee stops, and a wonderful trail just up the road. Dakota Ridge on Christmas morning was perfect! This home is one of the best equipped of any rentals we've stayed in! The rooms were perfect for our family of 5...and the master suite was wonderful! Grace was a wonderful host; we left a piece of luggage behind (!!!) and she was very gracious to drop it at the nearby FedEX location. Thanks Grace! We can highly recommend this location in Boulder!
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
In the flurry of getting her own family ready, our guest forgot her own luggage. My honest cleaning company was worried that they were too early when they saw the luggage left on the bed. I was happy to drop off the suitcase to FedX. You are welcome to return any time!!

Where are the keys?

Enjoyed the house, good location. Would consider staying again. Have stayed at the home two times. On both occasions, owner requested the return of keys we never received and therefore could not return. Master bedroom desperately needs new carpeting or other flooring. The berber carpet has certainly seen better days. The kitchen is nice, the location is great. Hope the owner works out the key situation with whoever is supposed to provide keys.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
Hi Tanya, My quick rollovers in the summer do not allow for carpet cleaning in the master bedroom. I will be the first to agree that white berber is not the best selection for a rental. The carpet is in excellent condition so we have been reluctant to replace it but we have it cleaned when there is time (in fact, we are cleaning it this week). I am not sure about any problems with keys. We have a lock box for check ins and I leave 3 keys on the counters for all renters. I apologize if that did not happen with you. I also have a 4th hidden key in case of an emergency. Thanks for the feedback and tips for improvements.

Wonderful Stay in Boulder Home

We spent 8 days in this home during Spring Break. There were six in our party and the home had plenty of room. The property was clean and well-maintained. The photos on the listing do not do justice to the home - it is much bigger than it appears. The location of the home was wonderful. We had quick access to everywhere in Boulder. The home also has good access to the diagonal highway for trips to Longmont. We walked several times to the nearby Safeway store and the Red Rock Coffeehouse. During the week, we cooked several meals at the home in the large kitchen and we particularly enjoyed the large dining area where everyone seemed to congregate. We hope this home is available the next time we visit Boulder as we will definitely want to stay here again.

Plenty of room and perfect location

This house was perfect for our family! My husband and I and our grown children with two babies all had plenty of room and great places to all be together. The back deck and yard was a perfect place to enjoy the beautiful weather. The toys, books and puzzles were an added bonus! This house was a very comfortable place to stay and Grace was so sweet to check and make sure that we had everything we needed.

This property was ideally located for us as our son lives on the next block allowing us to walk back and forth. The back yard was inviting and we spent quite a bit of time outside. The house has everything you need to live comfortably . We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Location- close to shopping, dining, recreation!

The house has 3 spacious bedrooms plus den with comfortable pull out couch. The kitchen and dining areas are large and accommodate large families cooking and eating. Also loved the small backyard with shade tree and deck and grill. Driveway is long with plenty of parking. We highly recommend this house for a visit to Boulder.

Great for a group

We had people coming from different places for a wedding. Having 4 separate sleeping areas really worked well. The master bedroom was especially nice and spacious, very comfortable bed. Kitchen was very well-stocked and there were plenty of linens, towels, etc for bedrooms and baths. Since we had good weather, it was very pleasant to sit out in the yard in the evening. I suggest getting very specific directions. The driveway is a little hard to spot but had enough parking for several cars. Thanks, Grace, for a lovely stay. Cheryl

College friends gathering

What a wonderful home away from home. We loved our stay and felt so comfortable. We loved the kitchen to cook and to hang out with each other and we really enjoyed the back deck. It was beautiful and private and we we had a view of the Mountains from the back yard. It was in a great location. North Boulder is the way to go if you want to explore Boulder, Lyons and Estes Park. We would stay here again in a heart beat. Grace was very easy to work with and responded quickly to any issues or questions.

CU Graduation Weekend

This is a wonderful house. Even though it is off a busy street, it is not noisy, The backyard is excellent and off the street, it's actually very private. It is a wonderful home that comfortably fits 8 people. The house flow is excellent and provides all the amenities you need. It's less than a 10 minute drive to campus and a 5 minute drive to Pearl Street. Grace communicates really well with you and provides all the information you need and is very fair. We asked for 2 bikes, did not use them and she did not charge us for them. Wonderful owner! Would definitely rent this property again! Thanks Grace, we had a wonderful visit! The McGowan's

I wish I could take a photo of the way this group left my home after they left! What a treat to walk in to my home and see that the renters followed the instructions and treated my home with respect. I believe Nicole had more than 6 people staying in the house...but you would never know it!!! If I could give this group a BONUS star, I would! Never hesitate to rent to Nicole. She is honest and trustworthy. I hope she comes back again and again.

Gem in the rough

We enjoyed a 4 day stay in early Aug 2015 and this house fit our needs perfectly. Everyone had a comfortable bed in 1 of 4 rooms including a study. Family life centers around the kitchen for us where we spent most of our time. The property felt private - inside and in the backyard with nice lawn and deck... even though it is on a busy and noisy street. Essentials were only 2 blocks away at a major intersection and highway - very convenient. Grace stopped in at check out time to say hi - very friendly and flexible. Our only nit was a wobbly breakfast table leg that was in need of a simple repair. This house would benefit from a "Handy Andy" tune up and would become solid 4 star!
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
Funny that you say it needs a Handy Andy....my maintenance guy is named Andy. The table just needed a couple of screws...which I could handle by myself and the table is now sturdy again. I also noticed a couple of light bulbs that needed replaced. I count on my renters to tell me what is needed...thanks for the heads up!!

Great place in a great location!

Our family of four rented this wonderful house in Boulder for nine nights in July 2015. We had great time and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The house is large could easily accommodate more than just us four. When we entered the house we found it was very clean and the property was well kept - lawn was mowed and there was no sign of the pervious tenants. The kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc,,, and we cooked a number of meals there with no problems whatsoever. We even used the grill one evening and that worked out well too. The bedroooms seemed bigger than what the photos indicated. We used only two of the three bedrooms rooms, but the owner nicely prepared all of the rooms for us. There were ample amounts of clean towels and we could wash dirty ones when we wanted because the washer and dryer were right there for us to use. The TV/living room can be closed off with a sliding door from the kitchen and master bedroom. Our kids played in the living room and they found it was more room than they need to lay out their Legos and other toys that we brought from home. There lots of games to play - mostly for older kids and adults. There are some Duplos and other toys for kids, but we're used to traveling with a mini Toys-R-Us, so our boys played with what we brought. We did not watch too much TV, but the place has cable and a DVD player (no BluRay) that work great. The owner was very responsive and replied to my calls and texts right away before we arrived. Although we did not need to contact her during our stay, I felt as though she would have been just as prompt. Checking in and out was easy. The property is very nicely located near a Safeway, gas station, drug store and other stores. There is an excellent coffee shop - Red Rock Coffeehouse (highly recommended) - within walking distance. One can also walk to Pearl St. pretty easily. A Whole Foods and Trader Joes are only a 5 min drive away. Some great food is also close by - Larkburger is also a quick drive away. Overall this was a great stay for us. I highly recommend it.

Iris Convenience

We found the Iris house to be super convenient for our stay in Boulder to celebrate my dad's 85th Birthday. It comfortably accommodated three couples and my son. The place is equipped with absolutely anything you could need. It is a shady and comfortable house on a main street, but it stays quiet in the neighborhood at night. The beds were comfortable. All was clean, convenient, and comfortable, and I highly recommend it.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
It was so nice of you to celebrate with your dad this way. Seniors enjoy the home because of the single level and easy accessibility. Come Again! Thanks for leaving it in good shape.

Excellent location, comfortable home!

My family and some relatives stayed in this home while looking for houses in the Boulder area. Our group had 4 adults and 3 kids (ages 5 - 10). The house was ideal for us for the same reasons described by many previous renters - it was affordable, comfortable, and convenient. The busy road didn't bother because the majority of the house is set back from the road and behind a fence, and the back yard is actually quite private and quiet, and we didn't worry about the kids with the traffic. It is just a couple of short blocks from a Safeway shopping complex so it is easy to stock the kitchen. We were there during a particularly hot weekend in Boulder, but the house remained comfortable cool by opening the windows at night and closing the window coverings during the day (as suggested by the owner). The owner was relaxed and very easy to work with - very low stress.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
We are fortunate in Colorado to have cool nights and very few insects. The locals enjoy open windows in the evenings and are not afraid to keep them that way while sleeping. I purchased some nice solar shades to keep the sun out during the day. I am glad you were comfortable!

Cozy Vacation Home!

First of, Boulder is beautiful so kind of hard not to enjoy yourself anywhere you stay. The city is organic and full of life. Grace was very responsive in every communication I had with her. The house had all the major ammenities one would expect but also very detailed needs such as full tank of propane gas, wine glasses, even a step stool to reach high places - among other things. Would recommend this house to families who would like to spend a relaxing time in beautiful Boulder without the fancy frills. I'd definitely use this home again!

Boulder Cozy Corner

Our family was so pleasantly surprised by this cozy home. The pictures online do it no justice. It looks like the home has been updated since the pix were first put up. As one would expect the house has all major necessities but was surprised at how owner keeps a detailed stock of supplies from a step ladder to wine glasses. It felt as if we were at home. If you're looking to spend a relaxing weekend in Boulder and are there to enjoy the sights of the mountains, I would definitely recommend this house.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 October 2021
Thanks for the reminder to update some photos. We painted the whole outside of the house this year and did some window upgrades to keep the house cool in the summer. We also refinished all of the wood floors.

About the host

Hosted by Grace Thomson

Host profile image

I moved to Boulder in 1979 from New Jersey. For 25 years, I owned a bridal/tuxedo shop in downtown Boulder. I love Boulder for its incredible weather, access to private outdoor escapes and the vitality of the City. I am an avid pickleball player and also play volleyball.

Why they chose this property

I loved that you could separate the front area from the back if you worked from home. I like the walkability to restaurants, groceries and coffee.

What makes this property unique

It is difficult to find a single level home with character. This home is unique because it is perpendicular to the street giving me more privacy. I also like the detached garage and south facing back yard.
