Perfect

Perfect location - in the mountains, but an easy 5-10 minute drive from town. We were able to doordash and get an Uber. Beautiful home and amazing views. I was shocked at how stocked pantry was with spices and general items that you don't think to buy. We would happily stay here again!

Wow, an incredible place to stay in Boulder

We had such a fun 4 day trip in Boulder. An almost 360 deg view looking right down on Boulder. A very short distance to Pearl Street Mall and morning coffee. Everything about the property was first class. Hiking trails literally down the road. Hosts made everything so nice. Highly recommended for couples or families visiting Boulder.

The Absolute Perfect Place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this incredible property. It is the perfect location, as we could be at the Pearl Street Mall/downtown Boulder in less than a 5 min drive, but also could enjoy the peace and serenity of mountain living once we were done playing in Boulder. We enjoyed walking from the house to a popular trailhead for a fun morning hike and then came back for breakfast on the deck which has gorgeous views! The location could not be any better for us, as far as conveniently enjoying the best of both worlds. In regards to the house itself, in one word - fabulous! There were 6 of us, so it was nice that we all had our own bedroom and bathroom. The bathrooms are spacious and I loved soaking in the tub while looking out at the lovely view. Beds were very comfortable as well. The house is beautiful - open and bright and very conducive to just hanging out and enjoying one another's company. Being surrounded by nature was a special treat for us. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Our host, Amy, was lovely. Prior to our arrival, she answered all of our questions quickly and was very attentive to a couple of our special requests. She even offered us a spot in the garage to park our car! 5 star experience and I would definitely stay here again!

Boulder sanctuary

This was a wonderful, quiet, convenient refuge for us while we attended many events surrounding a family wedding. Clean and quiet, well appointed and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again if we ever returned to Boulder.

Incredible

This was one of the best stays I've had! The house was incredible and very accommodating with amazing views of the mountains, plenty of close hiking trails, gorgeous sunrises and extremely close to many things to do, such as downtown restaurants and shopping. The owner was extremely kind and helpful and would recommend wholeheartedly!

Fab location!! Comfy and Clean!

We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Boulder. Staying just up the canyon allows you to get to downtown Boulder so quickly and you can easily Avoid the traffic. The house and bedding was all around so comfortable, and we absolutely loved playing shuffle board nightly. A short walk up steps will lead up to entry from car/parking, so not great if someone has accessibility issues. Otherwise, an amazing spot and a great value.

Great location near CU Boulder and Pearl St. but far enough to be a quiet escape nestled in the foothills. Found the two bedroom to be clean and relaxing, and we appreciated the accommodations and communications from the homeowner.

Just Perfect!

We loved the house. It was clean, private and had everything we needed. Amy the host couldn’t have been more friendly & helpful. We had so much fun playing shuffleboard and just hanging out. The beds were comfortable. It was so close & convenient to Boulder but felt like a secluded mountain home . I’d highly recommend staying here!

Very Nice

We enjoyed out stay at Sunshine Canyon. It was very close to hiking and the town. It is a very quiet neighborhood. This is the basement of the owners main house. It was clean and comfortable. We were a family of 5. If you want to make meals here versus go into town and have dinner, I wouldn't stay here. There really isn't enough room in the kitchen. For just a couple, it would be fine. Also, there isn't a microwave. If you use a microwave a lot, its a minor inconvenience. The only thing that bothered me was since this is a basement, the basement door is locked but anyone upstairs can come down into the apartment. The young lady that was upstairs came downstairs by accident. She apologized but it made me think, I can't lock that door. My boys absolutely loved the shuffle board. They had a lot of fun. Overall, the place is very nice and clean. We would stay again.

Quiet getaway

My husband and I stayed at Amy’s place on our first trip to Boulder. Easy to find, close to town but far enough away to feel like we were way out of town. Hiking trails nearby. Home was well stocked, bed was comfortable and we enjoyed playing shuffleboard.

Best Boulder with Mountain Experience

Staying at this house had everything a visitor to Boulder who also wants the mountain experience could desire. Coffee in the morning surrounded by clear air and a beautiful view. Close to Boulder amenities - less than a 10 minute drive. Great place for cooking in the evening and still enjoying the scenery. Lots of glass walls looking out on nature. Very comfortable and the owner responds immediately with any needs that may arise. It is also a great place to have friends over for relaxation.

3 Generation Vacation

This property is so close to Boulder but yet away from the bustle. I was able to walk to a trailhead and others were just a short drive away. The windows allow for beautiful views. Playing shuffleboard was so much fun! Mule deer would wander through the yard and along the road. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is able to do stairs. There are rock stairs going up to the entrance and then a flight onto the deck.

This place was an amazing location for a quiet place to rest tucked into Sunshine Canyon within walking distance to some great trails (Lions Lair) and very close to town. Great windows and view. The shuffleboard game was a very fun added bonus.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Dowe

Host profile image
I'd love to share my beautiful home with you - since my son has left for college, I find myself enjoying travel and smaller spaces....so when I am in town, I am living in my beautiful lower level with my kitties and I am offering my upper gorgeous vacation home with those wanting all of the luxuries of home while traveling.

Why they chose this property

This is a lovely place to rest and reflect, with hiking trails and only 3 minutes into downtown Boulder. Even though this is a private setting, it is a mountain neighborhood where sound travels in canyon and therefore no events or loud gatherings, respecting the privacy and serene setting for all who enjoy living here.
