About this property

1882 Heritage House ~ Porches, Gardens & Bali Bed

Step inside 144 years of California history, meticulously restored with a philosophy as old as the house itself: buy next to nothing new. Every hand-carved beam, original stained glass window, and century-old redwood was here before you — and was worth saving. What surrounds you isn't manufactured charm. It's the real thing.



Renaissance ideals. Pioneer spirit. Luxury minded. The oldest standing home in Los Alamos (1882), restored with a buy-nothing-new philosophy. Named rooms, gram-worthy nooks, Bali swinging bed, Kissing Cove, fire pit, two BBQs, wine barrel fountains, Toto bidet, and a Boudoir de Bouge that has to be seen to be believed. Half a block from the 1880 Union Hotel. This is the real thing.

Overall this was a fantastic home to stay in during our weekend in Los Alamos. The space was clearly curated to create a unique experience for guests. Every corner of the home presented a new adventure and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The home was also comfortable, spacious, and well stocked. The water temperature in the upstairs shower was a bit tough to manage. Hosts were very communicative and supportive. We will definitely stay here again!

A perfect Los Alamos stay!

Spent a weekend at the Los Alamos Roadhouse with a bunch of ladies and couldn't have been happier -- what a special, funky and comfortable spot for us all to congregate. With lots of sweet decorative touches and nooks to hang out, it was perfect for our group. The hosts accommodated all our needs and made us feel right at home in their space.

Great hangout spot, tons of charm!

We loved our stay at the Roadhouse— it’s like staying in a piece of history but with comfortable modern amenities. The location was perfect for walking to everything in Los Alamos. The fire pit and outdoor living room (David Bowie picture) were a big hit. Friendly hosts with great communication. Would happily stay again!

Comfortable house.

We enjoyed our stay here. All the beds were very comfortable. We had 6 adults in the 3 bedrooms. The town is fun to visit. We were there for a wedding at the 1880 Union hotel. It is about a 1/2 block from the hotel and in the center of town.

Perfect spot for the weekend

We were in town for a wedding at 1880 Union and this was the perfect location. No AC, but town cools down at night and the house stays cool as long as you close up in the morning. We had no issues with heat and it was 90+ outside all weekend. House is beautiful and the hosts are very nice!

No Privacy

These people that rent this house are not owners of the house. They sub lease this house to make a profit. They have the Ring surveillance camera with out Acknowledge or consent of the guest/renter. . The guest have the right to be notified to be videoed/voice recorded with our consent and acknowledgment, which we did not. They constantly are spying on you, so they can charge you by stating you have had “unauthorized guest” this is there famous come up! Never felt so violated. It almost seems like they stay at the water tower on the same property and watch you! This is why you are not allowed to use or see it, even though it’s on the same property. It’s super weird. They waived to us during our stay. Like if we didn’t know it was them. The refrigerator is full of there food, leaving hardly any room for yours. The closets are full with there clothes again leaving no room for yours. Very baser. During our stay it was cold at night. The heater was programmed and did not work at night. They controlled this too. As if they didn’t charge enough to stay there. We were very cold and uncomfortable the 2 nights we stayed there. If you look at there reviews do you wonder why they only have 3? The locals in Los Alamos state they rent it out frequently. So not sure why they only have 3 reviews. It may be because when you walk in the have a summary of how they expect to be rated 5 star. I would definitely stay in Los Alamos again, but definitely never here nor would I recommend staying at The Roadhouse unless you want to be watched every second of your stay! Freaky!

This person reserved for 4 guests. On Friday afternoon when they were moving in, we received a text message from a neighbor that said "Looks like there's a party at The Roadhouse this weekend!" They proceeded to have 10-12 guests on the property all weekend (as shown by our external cameras, which are/were detailed in our listing). They were caught in a lie and we asked for payment for the correct amount of people. They are lying in their review with their star rating of our property, as they commented (in our communication after they got caught), "This is not the way we ever expected this to go. Unfortunately we will not recommend this place even though it was a such charming place in the perfect location." So that's the real review. When you go to the self-checkout with 12 apples and pay for 4, don't tell the security guard who stops you on the way out that they put you in that situation as you're caught stealing. Unfortunately, we'll have to live with this false and defamatory review (in too may ways to mention). We have still not been paid the correct amount for the excess of guests on our property for the weekend. It's people like Belinda that damage the sharing community. Our space is clean, lovely, private. We're sorry you couldn't figure out the thermostat (which is freely accessible and adjustable in the dining room) and we will add a note for our guests on how to use it.

Lovely home in a fun hood

I came here with my fiancee and two other couples for a 4th of July getaway. The property was great and well-stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were very communicative and readily available. The town lost power at one point and we heard from the hosts very quickly with an ETA from the power company, etc. They had 100's of candles stashed and told us where to find them. Turned into a lovely dinner! Los Alamos itself is a quaint little town with a few good restaurants and lots of wine options. A fun getaway for a group of friends like us.

About the host

Hosted by Jen Boulden

Host profile image

Hi I'm Jen. Superhost for over a decade. Heritage House is where I fell in love with my style of renovations, called "Regenerative Design." This 1882 structure had been waiting for our talented team to breathe new life into it, and I think you'll agree, we did just that. Every room has a name, a story, and an intention. If you want to see more of the story of this space before you arrive — or just want to see what this corner of California really looks like — @jenboulden and @losAlamosHeritageHouse on Instagram.

NOTE: We also host private events — and if you've ever dreamed of celebrating somewhere that would love to have you add your story to hers, Heritage House is available. Visit losalamosheritagehouse.com.

Why they chose this property

Los Alamos is the last honest town on the Central Coast — a former stagecoach stop that somehow held onto its soul. Centrally located on Bell Street, you can walk to nationally acclaimed restaurants, incredible wine tasting rooms, antique shops, the 1880 Union Saloon, and The Depot Bar without moving your car once. This is a town of respectable renegades, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

What makes this property unique

Heritage House is a Pioneer Eclectic original — Craftsman bones, Victorian ornament, frontier practicality — built in 1882 and restored as living art. No two rooms are alike. The Gatsby Room, the Brown Chicken Brown Cow, the Boudoir de Bouge, the Swingers Lounge — each space was designed with its own character and a sense of humor. Everything here has a story, a past life, and we think that's exactly the point. This is not a rental. It's an experience with an address. Heritage House also hosts private events — intimate weddings, celebrations, and gatherings for guests who want something real. Visit losalamosheritagehouse.com to learn more.
