Photos and Description of the Boulder vacation apartment rental 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 4-6.

Welcome to Boulder, Colorado...everything you want from a big city, yet it feels like a small town; world-class restaurants and shops, a major university, an abundance of cultural events, a plethora of year-round outdoor activities and lots of music from around the globe. Minutes from downtown Boulder, our artist’s home is located within a quiet, historic residential district known as Mapleton Hill. 'Susurro' - our sunny and light garden/walk-out apartment has a separate entrance and is part of our recently eco-remodeled home originally built in 1910. Our 800 sq. ft. apartment is colorful, eclectically furnished, with hot water baseboard heating, all domestic water filtered, cork floors, lots of light, antique cooking stove, custom trim, open layout - living room/dining room/kitchen, hand painted floor, and mosaic tiled bathroom floor. Our home is a “come and borrow a cup of organic sugar” kind of home.

Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Boulder, Colorado

More Susurro Information: 'Susurro' is two blocks away from the foothills of the Rockies with great hiking trails, and the continental divide only a thirty-minute drive away. We are a 30 minute drive to Denver; 30 minute drive to Eldora Ski Resort, 45 minute drive to Rocky Mountain National Park, and 1.5-2.25 hour drive to Loveland, Winter Park, Breckenridge and Vail ski areas. Boulder has year-round sunshine. The winter season usually brings brief snow storms followed by beautiful sunny days. It's not uncommon to have warm weather in the high 60s-70s in February and March. Late spring and summer offers warm days, wonderful thunderstorms and few airborne pests. Falls are warm with cool nights and some of the most amazing displays of light and color. Well behaved dogs are welcome with an additional deposit.

Owner Information: Marcela Ot'alora G. is from Medellin, Colombia and is an artist and psychotherapist. Marcela considers Susurro to be an ongoing art Installation as well as the rest of the 'orange house'. Susurro means 'a murmer' in Spanish. It is a custom from Colombia to name your home - hence Susurro. Bruce Poulter is a Rolfer, 'artist's slave' and musician - playing the mbira (thumb piano) from Zimbabwe. We have two daughters - both in their second year of college - which makes us old (they think), young (we know)... We purchased Susurro with the intent of remodeling it - but ended up completely rebuilding it from the foundation up. We were the architects, draftspeople, general contractor, electrician, plumber, interior designer, painters, etc - you get the drift and we are still married - happily. We have totally enjoyed living here and meeting interesting people from different parts of the world.

Why Boulder and why this neighborhood?: Boulder is a beautiful city with incredible outdoor activities and cultural events. We chose this neighborhood due to its proximity and convenience to both downtown Boulder and mountain trails. Marcela and I live in the 'orange house' on the property because we think this is the best neighborhood in Boulder. That being said we are available anytime while guaranteeing your privacy. We feel incredibly privileged to live in this house and be able to ride our bikes, walk to nearby trails and cafes and enjoy the many and varied events and activities that Boulder offers. We love the sunshine that abounds in Colorado. Susurro is quiet, private and simultaneously centrally located. We invite you to experience the beauty and comfort first-hand!

Other Activities: kayaking, snowboarding, snowmobiling, racquet ball, miniature golf, shuffle board, hot air ballooning

Great place for a visit to Boulder

Review Submitted: September 29, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
I rented this apartment with a couple friends for a girls' weekend in Boulder. The apartment was great. Colorful, clean, and comfortable. An easy walk to downtown. And dealing with the owner was always smooth and efficient. I would highly reccomend this rental.

Review Submitted: January 3, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
We spent August 2008 as guests at Susurro and can't say enough good things about the experience. Our two young children loved playing on the patio (especially the apples that fall from the nearby trees) and we all enjoyed the proximity to Pearl Street, bike rides, the park, and the fantastic rec center. The house is cozy and cute. Cell phones and wifi were spotty, but manageable. Great rental!
Owner's Response: Cell phone coverage is 'spotty' with some cell phone carriers due to Susurro's proximity to the mountains. This is due to Boulder residents being unwilling to approve the installation of a cell phone tower on a local mountain - and I agree with that choice. That being said reception can be found usually within and always on the sidewalk of Susurro, with cell phone coverage improving every year... Computer access is occurs by direct connection (CAT5e cables supplied) to high speed internet available in bedrooms, kitchen and living room.

Review Submitted: August 22, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Three of us stayed at Susurro for four nights in July (the futon which makes an extra bed is very comfortable!).

Sussuro is clean, colourful, high-functioning and sweet. It is welcoming, vibrant and homey, in the perfect proportions.

Mapleton is a funky area and our morning walks into town were always interesting and shady (in the hot weather). It took us less than 15 minutes to walk to town, which is a bonus in a place where parking is tight.

We will return when seminars or conferences bring us to Boulder again.

Review Submitted: June 26, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We just savored a short 3-day stay at Susurro with
our 2.5 year old grandson (who named it "my
orange house") and it was altogether a perfect
experience. There's a sense of privacy without
isolation in this truly colorful FUN apartment. It
almost had the eclectic feel of our favorite N. WI
cabin from childhood, but with modern
conveniences. (The old reclaimed gas stove is
quaint, but works great!) The location is ideal:
beautiful, historic and walkable neighborhood.
Close to lovely N. Boulder park. Not far from
Boulder creek trails and easy to get to restaurants &
Whole Foods markets. Bruce & Marcela are lovely,
but not obtrusive hosts and the artistic talent is
evident everywhere. The little private garden patio
just outside the door is quiet and peaceful and even
provided great wildlife (and neighboring kitty-life)
outdoors for wonderful grandson entertainment!
We'll definitely seek out a reservation here again
when in Boulder on our next trip. It was really like
having our very own cottage.
