About this property

Light Filled Home 10 miles West of Boulder with Views of Cascading Waterfalls

Escape to the charming mountain town of historic Jamestown, just 10 miles west of Boulder, and discover the enchanting beauty of James Creek… with dozens of cascading waterfalls throughout town that embrace homes and two town parks. At the edge of the community, this home feels private and secluded from the outside world. You first sense this when you enter the south facing light filled living area, and then walk out onto the deck overlooking beautiful cascading waterfalls and forest. Drink in the incredible sunrises and sunsets and keep an eye out for wildlife that visits on occasion… deer, moose, elk, fox, eagle, wild turkey and even the rare bear.

Enjoy the quiet and luxury of your own beautifully designed and fully equipped three bedroom sanctuary. Bask in the sunshine and warmth that floods through the expansive windows offering breathtaking views. Listen to the sound of the sometimes gurgling creek, sometimes rushing river.

Relax in the beautiful setting of this Southwest style home graced with arched doorways, barn doors and wood or tile flooring throughout. The living area and primary bedroom, which is separated from the other two bedrooms, have French doors opening onto the wraparound deck. Most rooms in the home have views of the cascading waterfalls.

This unique retreat home is the perfect place to unwind and explore the many natural wonders of the area. Bring your hiking shoes, mountain or road bikes, fishing poles, or skis and explore the many trails and features accessible right in town… including a tennis/pickle ball court. There are many more trails only a few miles outside of town, including one of the best kept secrets in this area, the Saint Vrain Trail that winds alongside the Saint Vrain River. Or head up the scenic Peak to Peak byway and turn north to Rocky Mountain National Park or south to the nearby Eldora Ski Resort for a day on the slopes.

It's not just the natural beauty that makes Jamestown special. Visit the soul of Jamestown…the legendary Jamestown Mercantile Cafe, known by locals as “The Merc”… just a short couple minute walk from the house for fabulous food, local draft beer, and live music. In the summer Friday night is wood fired Pizza Night in the Park and Sunday morning is Brunch in the Park… just across the street from The Merc. Jamestown has been “discovered” by Boulderites and beyond so come early for a picnic table or bring your blanket and/or chairs (provided) and partake of the incredible food cooked by local chefs, the sounds of the creek, and live music from musicians far and wide. Enjoy the many events happening throughout the year, including JAVA JAM (JAM=Jamestown Artists & Musicians), JAM for the Arts, and the infamous Fourth of July whole town party featuring all day festivities starting with a pancake breakfast in the “little park” across from The Merc and ending with fireworks (weather permitting) & live music in the “big park” at the end of lower Main Street.

Whether you've come to enjoy Boulder, are looking for adventures, or just ready to relax in a unique mountain retreat, this home has something to offer. With easy access to Boulder, Denver, Rocky Mountain National Park, Eldora Mountain Ski Resort and beautiful Brainard Lake, you'll never run out of adventures!

Note: The unit is on the upper level and accessed through the front door. Parking for two vehicles in front of the home. The downstairs unit is occasionally occupied by the owners (a few weeks at a time in the spring and fall), who are retired and travel most of the year. Please feel free to contact us with any questions about our travel schedule. When we are away we have a local manager on hand to help with any of your needs.

Property was very nice could use a king bed in the master. Highly recommend staying there. Very clean and all the necessities you could need. Listing agent was very helpful and accommodating. Drive up the mountain was a bit white knuckle at times, but that is to be expected in the mountains. If you had 4 wheel drive it was not a problem. Will definitly be back!!

Calm and beautiful location

This is perfect location to stay for visiting RMNP and places around it. My family had very relaxing time at this stay. The property was very clean and had all facilities you would want. The patio faces river with cascade waterfalls and the feeding hummingbirds were sight to watch. We loved this property and would like to come back again 👌👍

Home was very nice and clean! We enjoyed our stay! The home for me personally was a little close to the road but overall the house was in a central location to Boulder and Rocky Mountain. Plenty of hiking and scenery close!

Exceeded expectations

Out of the several homes we have rented, this beauty stands at the top. If you are in need of a getaway that will refresh the soul, this property will do that for you. The sound of the water cascading over the rocks is so relaxing and the small community is so welcoming. The owner was available and communicative, and a delightful person. Very know of the town and surrounding area. If you go in the summer, the Friday night “pizza in the park” is a great time. Thank you Jyoti for a wonderful stay.

Lovely Home

Jyoti's home in Jamestown was lovely. Location is exactly what we were looking for, a place in the mountains. The creek behind the house was our favorite. To sit on the back deck and listen to the peaceful rushing water was our favorite part of each day. The house itself was exactly as advertised and incredibly clean. We would definitely stay again on a future trip to Colorado.

So hard to leave!

My 7 weeks of absolute happiness, peace, and beauty will never be forgotten. I had the joy of sharing this beautiful home with friends & family rotating through. We were all mesmerized by the creek & totally entertained by the hummingbirds! Home was perfect, kitchen well stocked, beds very comfortable, and truly a fantastic get-a-way! Owner & house manager both very responsive & hospitable. The area has a lot to explore or you can be totally entertained on the beautiful deck. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Almost Heaven

Our family of six had an amazing week in this beautiful home. So comfortable, inviting with all the accommodations we needed and more. It’s nestled 7000ft up in quaint Jamestown. The back of the house is nothing but floor to ceiling windows overlooking cascading waters of the James Creek. We were surprised with fresh cut flowers, local chocolate, and a fresh bag of coffee. We could not have asked for more. The host is amazing making sure we had everything we needed. Stargazing off the back deck at night was spectacular. We will definitely be back again as I miss it already!

Best Vrbo we have ever stayed at!

When we say this stay was wonderful, it truly doesn’t do it justice. The house was exactly as listed and very clean. Everything was well stocked also. Jyoti was great at communicating prior to our arrival and even alerted us to some potential snow in the forecast. Highly recommend eating at The Merc just down the road within walking distance - super friendly people, good music and even better food! We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Jyoti Sharp

Host profile image
I've lived in this wonderful mountain town of Jamestown for over two decades. There's no place like it, with the charm of small town living surrounded by mountain beauty, down-to-earth people and authentic community. My partner and I travel most of the year and recently simplified our lives by moving to the downstairs unit (which was previously available on VRBO and for which you can see a few reviews. There are also reviews from the summer before the historic 2013 flood, and the years between when I owned a nearby home while rebuilding). We are occasionally on-site in a separate living space with separate entrance. I am available by phone/text for any questions and have a local manager/housekeeper.

Why they chose this property

Amazingly beautiful location overlooking stunning cascading waterfalls. Close to everything wondrous in this part of Colorado, with peace and quiet on the quiet edge of a small mountain town.

What makes this property unique

Views of the cascading waterfalls and forested mountains from inside/outside the home are truly magical.
