Kelly & Richard

Richard Schuh purchased this house in 2006
Why Richard Schuh chose Boulder

The home is our primary residence with the guest suite being extra space that is not needed at this time until we have children. Richard bought the home in September of 2006 just after the renovation. He was in town after an Outward Bound Excursion and discovered the home while riding a bike through the historic district. It came down to 'If I don't buy this home , I am going to regret it' So he bought it and moved from Minnesota.

What makes this house unique

Mapleton @ 17th Street. The location cannot be beat. You will be right in the heart of Downtown Boulder and be able to walk to everything. We provide two cruiser bikes with the guest suite at no additional charge.

As well, the guest suite is very private and comfortable. The architect designed it to feel like a suite in a 5 star hotel with all the amenities you would expect. Beautiful artwork & furniture. Fine linens & Towels. Washer & dryer. The home is located in a very quiet neighborhood in the historic district 4 doors down for the 'Mork & Mindy' house.

Luv It. It was a romantic weekend away from the kids and it could not have gone better. This historic home is right in Downtown Boulder and we were able to walk to Pearl St. The guest suite; Beautiful , huge, luxurious, clean, very peaceful, private. We loved the fireplace and the bathroom was as good as any I have ever seen. The Schuh family handled everything. The booking was easy and they even accepted our Visa card.

How fortunate were we to come to town and stay in one of the nicest homes in Boulder.

Great location. Beautiful decor

It was a lovely basement apartment , beautifully decorated, very clean and cozy. The owners are helpful, kind and warm. We had plenty of room for 3 of us. Walking distance to all the wonderful restaurants and shopping. The only downside was the control room for utilities is in the unit so is a bit of background noise at night, but did not keep us awake. I highly recommend this property. The listing was accurate and it exceeded our expectations.

Owner's Response: Jane,

Thanks for being wonderful guests. We appreciate the note about the furnace room and had the service technician over the other day. They had to replace a switch that was making the clicking noise. We love it when our guests point out things that we would never notice. It allows us to offer everyone the best experience possible. Best, Kelly and Richard

HAD A GREAT TIME...

We had a great time in the Boulder area made even better by being able to stay in a place that felt like home away from home!! We had everything we needed for convenience and comfort and enjoyed being in such a charming neighborhood. We had a dog along and the close-by community park was a bonus. We also enjoyed our privacy while staying on this property. The guest suite is very nice and clean; it was a nice stay for a family of 4!

Private Guest Quarters in Historic Home.

Submitted: February 26, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
This truly is a wonderful place to stay; private guest quarters beautiful furnished and with easy access to all Boulder has to offer. Visiting from San Diego for a long weekend with plans to make for our Daughter's wedding; four of us comfortably relaxed and enjoyed the well thought out accommodation. My future son-in-law cooked us all breakfast before we set off with our little dog walking easily to downtown Boulder. Great restaurants for any meal are all here. We enjoyed the cozy fireplace with a bottle of wine and some cheeses after a busy day wedding planning.
Thanks again for a wonderful stay; wish there was availability for us in September when we return for the wedding:(

We were looking for a quiet location within walking distance of all the fun Boulder activities and we certainly found it here! The apartment is exactly as described/pictured on the website and is indeed lovely and well-equipped. We had a wonderful week -- using our car only a few times. We have never stayed in a VRBO before, but we were very pleased by this first experience. Kelly & Richard were so respectful of our privacy. Thanks for a great time; we hope to return!

Owner's Response: Bill,

So many other listings are shared spaces that do not allow for total privacy. Our guest suite has a private entrance and bathroom and the entire floor is yours to use. Our intention for every guest is mutual respect and privacy. Thanks.
