Not great!
We never received check in info until we got a hold of the housekeeper. Towels were stained hanging on towel bars. Bugs everywhere they even climbed up on the beds. We left a day early because it wasn’t great. The decks are great, it’s close to town, and they had ample towels/linens and kitchen was well stocked. They also had extra tissue, paper toweling & toilet paper. The carpeting & rugs need commercial cleaning.

Incredible Mountain Home
We absolutely loved Larry’s place in Boulder Mountains! Everything was as advertised and even better! The home slept 7 of us perfectly and everyone was comfortable. The setting, streams, hiking and short distance to downtown Boulder for our daughter’s graduation was ideal! We would love to stay here again!

Treehouse Views
Boulderhaus is a great spot, easily accessible from downtown Boulder. We have been traveling to Boulder a lot over the last four years and this is the first time we have stayed outside of the city proper. We had originally rented for Thanksgiving weekend last year but my husband needed emergency surgery, forcing us to cancel our stay just days before our rental began. Larry kindly allowed us to change our dates. We are thrilled to be here in time for the Boulder Film Festival while relishing this quiet retreat among the trees during down hours. My husband has been working from the third floor desk which is the equivalent of a nice tree house. If you need to relax while being productive, this is the place to do it. Many of the reviews note the number of stairs which made me slightly concerned about what we would find. I had to laugh when I actually saw them. Yes, there are stairs as this is a multi-level house and you enter on the ground level. To the right and outside of the house, there are stone steps to two lovely patio areas and the hottub. To the left of the house, there are also stairs that could be hazardous to some but there is absolutely no need to take them. Access is easy without going close to the road. The house is well -equipped for any type of cooking you might enjoy. There is even a tap system installed. Hopefully, our family will gather here for future holidays and enjoy the many comforts Boulderhaus has to offer. It will be a pleasure to return.

Boulderhaus Stay
I want to be fair in this review so I'll start with the pros. Great location. Close to town yet in nature. Property Mgr was quick to respond the few times we had an issue. Cons: Some of the furnishings are run down. We had our adult children and spouse with us. Most needed to do some online work each morning. At 9 a.m. each day the internet slows so much it is not usable. It was that way for several hours. We couldn't tell if the dishes in the cupboards were clean. They were spotted and crusty. We scrubbed what we needed for our stay. Used towels were hanging on the back of a bedroom door. In summary, if I were staying with a bunch of old college buddies for a weekend this would probably be great. But our family would not return.

Excellent location !!! Great house!
Great house with tons of space for our family of 4 just minutes from downtown Boulder. We enjoyed being remote in the woods (we loved watching the rabbits, chipmunks, birds) and being in nature and at the same time being able to easily go into town or get on a trail. Great communication with the host.

We had a great time staying here! Manager was fantastic! Loved the different patios and decks. Loved all the flowers and especially the hummingbird feeders. Close to Boulder but far enough away to feel you are in the mountains. There are lots of steps but loved logging them in on my phone. We would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at Boulderhaus. Larry couldn’t have been better to work with the whole stay. The place is special. Awesome mountain house but super close to downtown. We stayed during dead and company final tour weekend and couldn’t have had a better time here. Would recommend this place over staying anywhere in the city.

family visit to meet new grandchild
The property was as described, we did have to take care with the small children and stairs, same as anywhere. Property was beautiful, clean, and the space suited our needs. As others have mentioned, the dishwasher didn't completely clean, we just pre-rinsed and checked before using. But otherwise, a great stay and we enjoyed the beautiful home.

Beautiful property, but not safe for littles.
We really enjoyed our stay, but the main level shared bathroom was TINY. Fortunately the third floor MBR bath was just outside the room, so accessible to everyone. Wouldn’t be comfortable for any more than 6 adults. You walk in the front door and see 2 flights straight up. Exciting for the littles, terrifying for the adults. Pros: beautiful scenery, cozy home, loved the side playground off the kitchen, good communication with host. Close to town, but still felt off the beaten path. Stocked kitchen with everything we needed to cook every meal. Cons: Every single dish was so dirty (easy fix, but so annoying) The house itself was clean. Baby gate existed, but no matter what we did, it wouldn’t latch properly & it easily bumped out of place as the tension pushes against 2 round logs. We had to get creative and move furniture to keep the toddlers safe. (Addressed this during our stay, and we’re told we installed it wrong….but there’s just no way to make it totally secure and well fitting against those logs - at least not with 2 two year olds who wanted to explore.) 2 more gates to put at the entrances of the big staircases from the main level would have been helpful. Note - the rooms are definitely good, better BEST. We used the twin room as a place to keep luggage and kept the littles in our rooms.

Daughter Wedding in Boulder
We rented this property as our daughter was getting married at the nearby Wedgewood Wedding venue. It was close and served it's purpose well. It did have a few more stairs than I was expecting but my 86 year old father and 79 year old mother in law handled them fine. We were quite busy with wedding items but did get a chance to see plenty of birds, bunnies, and deer wander through. The bridal party ended up getting ready here and we had a small brunch the following morning. Everyone was complementary of the space and I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area!

This is a lovely house in a great location. Close to Boulder and to hikes. Behind the house is a beautiful hike to a neat abandoned mine. The only negative is that they have hard water, so it is difficult to wash dishes / shower, but that is a minor thing.

If you want to be close to Boulder CO, but a little off the beaten path, this is the place. A short drive up Boulder Canyon Road and then to Fourmile Canyon, you can relish the outdoors and still be minutes from downtown Boulder. Check-in was a breeze. Kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of utensils, dishes, pots, pans, etc. The three bedrooms on the main floor are very nice. The master bedroom upstairs is very large. Be sure to check out the picutures.
