About this property

Historic Home, Stroll to Pearl, Lrg Private Yard

This 1901 Victorian home was beautifully and lovingly remodeled with family and social time in mind, combining an open floorplan with the old world charm of exposed brick, original wood floors and the historical character of the house. The location is exceptional, just 4 blocks from Pearl Street and a 10-minute stroll from vibrant heart of downtown Boulder and Pearl Street shops, restaurants and coffee shops, a 10-minute walk to CU, and a 10-minute walk to mountain trials and hiking.

The house has a warm and inviting feeling throughout, fantastic lighting, 10 foot ceilings on the main floor, and vaulted ceilings upstairs. The main floor was designed for time together, with a kitchen that is open to the dining room, living room, and a breakfast nook. A family room is slightly set apart and offers an HD television and family board games. The spacious backyard features seasonal raspberries and apples, a large patio for outdoor meals, a gas grill, and sky chairs hung from apple trees. The covered front porch is a relaxing spot to sip a morning coffee or a cool drink in the afternoon. Hardwood floors, soapstone counters, handmade quilts and original artwork are throughout the house.

The house is perfect for those who want family and social time—but also those who are traveling together but want a bit more privacy. The upstairs floor has three bedrooms and two full baths. The upstairs master suite includes a king bed, a walk-in closet, and a very spacious tiled master bathroom with dual sinks, a glassed in stand-up shower for two people, and a separate soaking tub. A gas fireplace connects the master bedroom and master bathroom. The sunny second upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and a balcony with French doors that open to views of the Flatirons, as well as a desk for those who would like a place to work. The third upstairs bedroom also has a queen bed and vaulted ceilings. A whole-house evaporative cooler brings fresh, cool air to each of the three upstairs bedrooms on warmer evenings.

The included carpeted and sunny basement/lower level features 9’ ceilings and, in addition to simply providing additional space, is a great feature for guests such as two couples traveling together who value social time but also privacy. The basement features a large second family room with a sectional sofa and separate television, toys for children, and a treadmill for those rare rainy days; a bedroom with a queen bed; and bathroom with a tiled, glassed-in stand up shower.

Enjoy the historic homes, beautiful gardens, and large shade trees of the Whittier neighborhood. Our guest book includes practical information such as the nearest grocery store, plus fun things to do like trail maps, a public pool two blocks away, yoga studios, and directions to the beach at the Boulder Reservoir, to cool down the kids on hot days.

A Pack & Play (which can be used as a crib or set up with a baby bassinet) and high chair seat can be provided on request. Non-shedding dogs only may be considered but are subject to negotiation and may incur extra fees.

Perfect Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. Excellent home, excellent location. Could not have been more perfect. We were a combined group, visiting our students at CU Boulder for Family Weekend. We hosted a BBQ in the backyard on Friday night. We did lots of walks together including several easy strolls to Pearl street. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!

Football Weekend

We stayed at this wonderful house with 3 couples to watch a game at the University of Colorado. The house was spacious, plenty of room for everyone to sleep. The hosts were great communicators. The location is perfect for walking to Pearl Street. The neighborhood is beautiful with all of the historic homes. I would definitely stay here again!

Nice house nice neighborhood

Only the second time we stayed in a VRBO house so I don't have a lot of experience with what to expect from them. This was a nice stay in a clean house in a quiet neighborhood. The only note I would have is that five of the seven people staying were in their early eighties. A handrail on the stairs leading up to the porch would have been most helpful. Also, there were two remotes for the TVs. It would have been nice to have information on the operation of the remotes. Neither of these detracted from our stay however.

Perfect Farewell Stay in Boulder!

It was a bittersweet time for us as we were moving our son home after 5 years in beautiful Boulder. As excited as we are to have him home after college, we loved visiting Boulder as often as possible. My parents, son and I made the road trip from central Texas to a most welcoming, comfortable, spacious home in central Boulder. The kitchen was awesome - well-stocked, spacious and simply lovely - we spent a lot of time gathering around the kitchen bar area. The beds and bedding were perfect as was the great location. The backyard was so inviting, with colorful flowers and fruit trees throughout. We hope to get back to Boulder sometime in the future and when we do, we'd love to reserve the Mapleton home again!

This is a fantastic house!

My family booked this wonderful house for 5 nights. We cooked 4 of the evenings. The kitchen has everything, including spices and oil, which was so nice. The location is perfect, 2 blocks from Pearl Street. The beds were very comfortable and the big family table hosted many evenings of games. Would rent this beautiful house again!

Our Time in Boulder

We loved this quaint house which was walking distance to downtown Boulder. It was a perfect place for five retired teachers to hang out. With four bedrooms and three and a half baths, there was plenty of room. Everything was user friendly and the host provided excellent instructions and sightseeing tips.

Beautiful comfortable older home

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The home has great character and many areas for sitting and relaxing inside and out. Its location was excellent, an easy walk or drive to downtown Boulder for coffee or food. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and more. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The only hitch was there is no air conditioner, and the swamp cooler was not working sufficiently to deal with the 90 degree days.

perfect place for a family stay in Boulder

We needed a big house to accommodate six family members for a wedding in Boulder. I spent quite a lot of time looking at VRBO options. This turned out to be exactly what we needed. We had the two couples in the larger bedrooms (including a large and very comfortable master suite with en suite bath), and the two singles in the other two bedrooms. With three full baths and a half-bath on the main floor, it was very convenient. The large kitchen, pleasant yard, and ample space to spread out made it easy. The neighborhood is well-kept and pretty and the location can't be beat if you want easy, walkable access to downtown Boulder. The owners were quick, responsive, and helpful. I would absolutely rent this house again.

This home was the perfect place for our family vacation! The three story home had three comfortable living areas and a wonderful backyard for all our family and activities. There are lots of games in the cabinet to enjoy. The kitchen is fully outfitted with appliances and cookware to prepare a feast! And the grill is conveniently located by the outdoor table for 6. We loved the location - the house was was just a few blocks from Pearl Street and all the restaurants and stores. There is also a school playground two blocks from the house for the the little ones.
