About this property

Gourmet Kitchen, Walk to Pearl St!

Escape to downtown Boulder and enjoy our beautiful 4 bedroom home in the heart of it all. Our remodeled home offers all the amenities needed to feel right at home. We are in walking distance to Pearl St Mall, the University of Colorado campus and football stadium, restaurants, bars, microbreweries, shopping, and all the recreational activities that Boulder has to offer. Located in a highly desirable, small neighborhood perched on a bluff just north of Pearl Street, the views are expansive and above the treeline of downtown Boulder. The location is truly a hidden gem, right downtown but lifted above on a quiet and upscale street. Plus, you are helping to do some good in the world - we donate 10% of our rental income to the local nonprofits we support and volunteer with!

Our property is extremely family friendly. Our small neighborhood is very unique as the bluff we're on is not a through street, so it's a quiet street with plenty of parking. We have a fully fenced back yard as well. Our property is stocked with games for all ages, play pen, baby gate, high chair, plastic kitchenware, etc.

If there is a chef in your party, the kitchen is sure to please. With professional style Thermadore appliances including wine fridge and heat lamps, you have all the tools to turn out an amazing dishes for your party. Our pet peeve with traveling is having to purchase all the small ingredients needed even for simple dishes. Not the case here. From a variety of premium olive oils, sea salts, and vinegars to a well stocked spice cabinet, feel free to take a little and leave a little. If you come when the garden is in bloom, fresh vegetables and herbs are right outside the door. The kitchen openly adjoins the living and dining spaces in the great room, creating a very social environment.

The master suite is located on the second floor of the home, which features a king bed with built in reading lights and private bathroom with double vanities. Also on the upper level is a second bedroom/den and bathroom. This spare room can be used as a private den or pull out the queen plus sized sleeper sofa for an additional bed. This is not your average sleeper sofa – it is an American Leather Comfort Sleeper that does not disappoint for a great nights rest. The third and fourth bedrooms are on the main floor past the office nook and are separated by an additional full bathroom. One room is a queen, the other has 2 XL twins.

We have a full washer/dryer, central heat and AC, high speed internet, 2 flat screen TV’s, ceiling fans in every room, grill, and full patio sets front and back.

The city of Boulder requires that all short term rental properties be the owners primary residence, as ours is. No large/loud parties are allowed, and we ask that any outdoor activities be kept to a low volume after 10pm out of consideration for our neighbors. If you are looking to host a party weekend, we kindly ask that you keep looking. The maximum rental term is 28 nights.

The garage and master closet are owner lockout areas and will not be accessible. Each bedroom has a full dresser that is solely for guest use.

We sincerely hope you enjoy our home. As you can read in the reviews, we take great pride in providing a clean, beautiful property for your time in Boulder. Please let us know anything we can do to help your stay be more enjoyable.

We strongly encourage guests to purchase vacation insurance which will protect your vacation investment against unforeseen circumstances such as illness, weather, flight cancellations, etc.

Hidden Gem in Boulder!

This isn't just a VRBO, it's a home. We recently stayed at this beautiful property with our family of 5, and I can honestly say it exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and well thought-out. The home was spotless, spacious, and even more charming than the photos suggested.Each room was tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable – we all slept so well. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, which was perfect for our family. We especially loved the game drawers and were able to play games in the dining room and the open floor plan allowed us to watch sports on tv and visit with the cooks in the kitchen! Perfect family setup!The location was ideal – close enough to everything we wanted to do, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Steve was incredibly responsive and provided great local tips, making our trip even more enjoyable.We’ve stayed at a number of vacation rentals over the years, but this one truly stood out for its attention to detail, comfort, and overall vibe. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. Highly recommend!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had five members of our family--including a 2 year old--stay here for Memorial Day Weekend and the Bolder Boulder 10K race. The house was perfect for us--very spacious and clean and well stocked--and a great host. The house also was walking distance to Pearl Street and all of the Coffee Shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful home!

Had a small family gathering to celebrate my son’s commencement and the location couldn’t have been better - close to all Boulder activities including Pearl St. and CU. We had family in from four different states and everyone enjoyed all the home had to offer – well stocked gourmet kitchen, lots of living space, cute backyard and gorgeous views. The wine fridge was a bonus!

The house was lovely. Everything was so organized and clean.

We really enjoyed our stay. We came to Boulder for a family reunion and ended up renting two homes. This was by far the most comfortable and beautifully decorated. We would definately stay here again. Thank you so much Steve and Shawna!

Luxury Accommodations in Great Location

Wonderfully located in a great area of Boulder, this house is perfect for exploring the area while staying in a very well appointed house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. When not out enjoying the many things that Boulder has to offer, we had a great time at this property. The house is very well maintained, has a great kitchen for cooking in which we did, and a nice outdoor area to relax in the evening. We would definitely want to stay here again when visiting Boulder.

Perfect for a Peaceful Family Retreat

This property is amazing! You are walking distance down the hill to lots of great restaurants and sites. Parking is not an issue and there is plenty of space inside the home for everyone. The kitchen is extremely well stocked which makes cooking a meal and eating outside in the beautiful backyard very easy. The view from the living room and kitchen are amazing; we saw 10 deer roaming by one morning. Definitely one of our favorite stays ever!

Boulder Family retreat

Spacious home with an open floor plan in a quiet neighborhood. Description of home was very accurate and host was readily available. My only suggestion would be to replace pillows in all bedrooms, but most certainly in the master.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Peterson

Host profile image
We migrated to Colorado from Illinois and southern California to enjoy all the beauty and mountain sports this state has to offer, and haven't regretted a day of it. Often we can be found wakeboarding, hiking, skiing, biking or enjoying a favorite camping spot. There's nothing we enjoy more than coming home after a day of activities to pop some corks and lay down a wonderful meal with friends.

Why they chose this property

Downtown Boulder is a popular destination, and our property is an oasis within walking distance to everything but perched above it on a private bluff. In fact, many friends who grew up in Boulder never knew this small neighborhood existed until they came up for a visit.
