$79. NT/ STUDIO GUEST HOUSE, WALK TO PEARL STREET

If you are planning a visit to Boulder and you are alone or a couple, you will be hard pressed to find better accommodations for the price (we stayed for 5+days). The location allows easy (walking distance) access to Pearl St. Mall which has a multitude of fine restaurants, live music, and shopping for all price points and tastes (try the Trident Cafe/Bookstore for excellent early A.M. coffee or late night browsing as they are open to 11P.M.). If you have a car, street parking was never a problem for us during our entire stay. We usually ended up right in front of the main house. If the main house is rented, you will have close neighbors as mentioned in another review. For us it was not a problem as it was still quiet and we had our privacy. The kitchen is minimal, but for those who like microwaves it should be adequate. We had hoped to grill, but utensils were lacking and the gas was out, but Carol Anne assured us that would be taken care of in the future and offered us the Main House grill for our use while we were there, which worked out fine. The local restaurants are so good you may not notice but we still like to stretch our travel dollars by eating in whenever possible which is a nice option with this cottage. There is a great local Natural Market (Alphalfa's) about a 3 min drive away and all kinds of regular markets and drugstores nearby. The Boulder Public library is walking distance (excellent art exhibit during our stay) and as other reviews mentioned, nature trails are close by. The neighborhood itself is also a nice walk with many picturesque period homes on beautiful tree lined streets. We attended a wedding at the Red Lion Inn which we would recommend for a nice dinner date. They have tables right out by the beautiful creek for a unique dining experience during the summer months. The Dushanbe Tea House was great for special lunch treat and is walking distance from the cottage..
The owner Carol Anne was quickly responsive to any needs and was very friendly and accommodating. I would be happy to stay again on any return trips to Boulder and outlying areas.

For our last night in Colorado we decided to get out of Denver and go to Boulder... hotels seemed a little pricey for what they were so we turned to VBRO and found this gem! The cottage is perfect for the price and location in a cute neighborhood walking distance to Pearl Street as well as hiking trails. Carol Anne was a great host with excellent dinner recommendations, walking routes, etc. We hope to make it back next time we are on that side of the Country!!

I loved my stay in this small carriage house, right in the middle of historic Boulder. The house is a small studio - perfect for one person or a couple. It's an older place - so if you're expecting new construction or ultra modern, you should be prepared that it has the character and charm of the neighborhood it is in. Very quiet in the evenings, and the location is perfect for running and hiking into the foothills.

The skylights pour in lots of natural light, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've stayed on. The only real downside was the lack of cell service in the area. The cottage is right next door to the main house, also, so while you generally won't hear anything, you should be aware that you'll have close neighbors.

My stay was trouble free, and I'd recommend this little getaway if you want a different, inexpensive Boulder stay within walking distance to all the amenities of Pearl Street.
