A (Family) Trip to Boulder
Review Submitted: May 7, 2008

The rental house was the way to go for my latest trip to Boulder, Colorado. I try to get to Boulder every year to visit cousins and this time, with one of them getting married, there wasn't room for all of use at their home, so I decided to look up rental homes, since 3-4 hotel rooms for 5 nights, would have been very expensive. Originally, there was suppose to be 10 of us, but when only 7 made it, I was concerned that we would have only needed the main house, but was very pleased with the choice to rent the main and the add on, since this was excellent in accommodating all of us to get ready faster, and make all events ON TIME! In my opinion the entire home can be very comfortable with even as many as 12; however, this would involve sharing a futon and a couch : ) and one of the bedrooms had a smaller bed that was very high and could be difficult for someone short to get on it and would only be comfortable for one adult (my dad had this room all to himself!) or 2 teens/young adults.
The home was very clean, and the mornings were great being able to eat breakfast altogether as a family, which was nice, since so many of us don't have time to be together as often as we like. Plenty of amenities in the main home and the addition. My only concern is that the addition, would not be optimal for people with disabilities or knee problems, since you can only get down to it by the basement stairs (inside) and from the outside there are stairs as well.
The location of the home was very convenient, close to Boulder and main roads to get you to just about anywhere in the area; Lafayette, Erie, Longmont, as well as the shopping at the Flat Irons, other plazas and fairly easy to get into Denver. Especially convenient for site seeing up into the mountains; just take a left onto any road off of Broadway and there they are : ) There were plenty of maps and other travel guides in the kitchen, and people were very helpful if you get lost!
I highly recommend the home for a family trip, a friends trip, or just a reason to get away! This is not convenient if you don't have a vehicle (or bike), since things are not in close walking distance, but that depends on how much you like to walk.
If you go; rent a car and this home : )
