About this property

Mountain Home 15 mins from Boulder

Hi and thank you for your interest in 6251 Lefthand Canyon!

How to access the house type of info is below, and once inside you will find a more extensive card w/ additional info. Please feel free to make yourself entirely at home (e.g., make use of the staple foods, oils, spices, whatever is around)! If you can't find something, just open drawers or closets until you are successful. Towels and toilet paper are typically in the bathroom closet.

A couple of updates: the info card inside the house is somewhat outdated, and a new one is in the works. In the meantime, there is no longer (unfortunately) a kegerator in the house. Regarding checkout: please put all trash items inside of regular kitchen trash bags, then place these in the brown plastic trash bin in the garage. Similarly, please (rinse out then) place all recyclables inside the metal container in the garage. Rinsing is *very* important, to keep the bears away.

Also, if you have a few moments and can start a load of sheets / towels prior to your checkout, this greatly helps out the housecleaner and helps her finish her job in a timely manner. Please let us know if you intend to check out early, so that we can pass this onto the housecleaner. Thank you!!!

Heads up that winters can be very snowy! If you are coming from warm, beautiful, sunny places, let me know if you need any tips re: snowy life. Namely, PLEASE don’t walk / drive on any fresh snow whatsoever… shovel first :). Otherwise, it turns to ice and can take forever to melt, especially in shady places, which are common in the mtns. Apologies if you knew all of this already.

Access to the house is provided by a digital lockbox code: 111819. If you arrive at night, be sure to have flashlight (cell phone or whatever), as it is DARK at my house! Directions are below. In the event batteries have failed on the front door keyless entry, there is a backup physical key sitting outside of back door: 123890. Please do not use this key unless you are locked out.

Please bear in mind that this house is seasonally my primary residence and as such, I only rent to responsible adults. I kindly ask that you treat the house with care / like your own home. Thank you so much for understanding and I hope you have a wonderful visit!

Any questions, I'll be in and out of cell phone range: 909.532.6075. If you cannot reach me, please contact my wife Whitney: 303.718.4506. I hope you enjoy your stay and I think you will! It's a great spot. Make yourself at home!!

Pros and Cons

Pros: nice, clean house. Plenty of space. 20 minutes from Boulder. Beautiful canyon location. One Con that turned into a Pro for me was disconnecting with a good book while we were there. Cons: No TV or microwave. Not many windows have curtains - which gives me the creeps at night. Close to road.

Great Stay in Great Place

Our stay at Erin's mountain home near Jamestown was really fantastic. The overall space is very well appointed and we loved that there were a couple of guitars hanging on the wall that are there to be played by her guests if they so choose. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and there were plenty of spices in the spice rack that are available for use as well- along with coffee in the cupboard which was really a nice touch. The one bathroom is clean and roomy and easily shared with the other couple that was staying with us. What we really enjoyed was the outdoor shower behind the house. What a really nice surprise that was. The only thing I would change would be the fact that there was a motorcycle rally taking place somewhere in the general vicinity which meant there were a lot of very load motorcycles that came past the house early on Saturday morning. Because the house just sits off the road there was no way to avoid the sounds from motorcycles or trucks that passed by. I do highly recommend this mountain home. It is in a great area of Colorado, close to Jamestown, Boulder, and Lyons with lots and lots to do.

Beautiful and Peaceful

The cottage was great. The property is beautiful and feels remote, but close enough to Boulder to stroll, shop and eat. We were very comfortable in the cottage. It was different not having a microwave or hairdryer, but we made due. It was nice to disconnect. Tip: take a screen shot of the access code before you arrive. We didn’t have cell service with with T-Mobile or Verizon. Wi-Fi is available once inside. Also couldn’t find the outside trash cans. We finally figured out we needed to stash trash inside the garage, but there were still no trash cans to be found.

Nice cabin/house. Close enough to Boulder to go to lunch, dinner, shopping etc., but far enough away to seem remote. Excellent communication with owner.

Great mountain stay

Really lovely house in the quiet forest of the mountains. The deck is amazing to star gaze at night, and there is a creek across the street to cool one's feet on a hot day. We felt very comfortable at Erin's house, and really enjoyed our time. The kitchen had all the cooking and spice essentials for making meals. The drive to and from Boulder is absolutely beautiful- this is a gem!

This home was everything we needed for a getaway! Beautifully located, away from the city but close enough to explore, access to hiking, felt like we were in a world all our own. Exactly what we needed! Great communication from the owner, very responsive.

Very relaxing

Absolutely loved staying here. And pleasantly surprised that it was better than expected (expectations were already high). I will say one thing, I did not plan for losing cell service and didn’t write down access codes before going into the mountains. This was a fault of mine—not the host. After that, everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable retreat in the woods

We enjoyed our weekend stay in Jamestown. The woods and seclusion were wonderful. We could see stars through the skylights at night and deer through the windows in the morning. We do strongly recommend bringing a headlamp or flashlight not just for nightime access. The cabin is dimly lit. this makes great ambiance, but for aged eyes, made it challenging at times to see things. The kitchen and bathroom are well lit and comfortable. We will not hesitate to come back!

Lovely Jamestown Get-away

We really enjoyed our stay at this house outside of Boulder. From here we were able to visit with our daughter, see some of the sites around Boulder and enjoy the natural beauty of the area from the front porch and back deck. We loved it!

Above Boulder is Better

It was much cooler and more relaxed as a summer get away yet close enough to be able to enjoy Boulder and the mountains. The place was the right size and not so fussy that we didn’t feel relaxed as a family at theirs property. Our host made it all pretty seamless.

Family time

We wanted a place to hang out with our incoming freshman and her BF while doing a little exploring of the area. The house was great-as felt remote but easy drive out of the canyon to Boulder and points around. We visited Boulder / Pearl Street and campus, Golden and RMNP. Was a relaxing location before the chaos of a college move in. Glad to have those few days!
