Our family has resided on this magnificent property for over 20 years. In the 1950s, before the home was built, our land was known as "the point." Lovers used to drive onto the property, park at the end of the lot which overlooks the eastern plains, and... you know... We live on 6.5 acres of stunning forested land located 1000 feet above downtown Boulder. Our property rests on a peninsula with views of the white-capped peaks to the west and the city lights to the east. The property feels far away from the bustle of city life, yet it is only an EIGHT-MINUTE drive to the heart of downtown Boulder's historic shopping district and ten minutes from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Vista Tranquila, the name given to our property by its previous owners, has trails to meander, picnic tables, horseshoes, swings hanging from the trees, a competitive-level trampoline, benches with views, and hammocks. The communal food prep area has a gas grill, a table for food prep, and a seating area. We request that guests pack out all trash.

1 night at Boulder Chicken Ranch

We were able to check in last minute and early to this wonderful place. Patrick was an excellent communicator and everything was great. Loved to hear the chickens in the morning. We will definitely be back next time we need to stay in the Boulder Area.

Great place to camp with a van. Super easy to get set up with very clear instructions from the host.

Everything was absolutely wonderful! It was quiet, the grounds well maintained, and a lovely view of a lake. Look forward to coming back!

Private and easy in and out. The host is correct that you have to charge up the hill getting out.

Camping was fine. As described. Access and exit through gate could be difficult for a towed rig ot large RV. Valmont is a busy road and there is little room before entering gate to property.

Cleanest portapottie I've ever been in - it even smelled nice. 😂 Gorgeous property. Christine was quick in communication.

Byron and Dot were incredibly friendly and welcoming hosts — you can tell they truly enjoy sharing their space. They made me feel right at home and had some great recommendations for local trails and scenic spots that really made my stay even better. The property was peaceful, well-kept, and a perfect base to explore the area. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing spot & beautiful people. The directions were clear and helpful to get to the site. The open space and the lake near by makes your experience 10/10.

Host greeted us, very friendly and flexible with check out time!! Site 5 was great, secluded and beautiful sunset with lots of stars. Would love to come back and check out the other sites. Bonus is you can walk around and see the cows and horses 🥰

I loved the site, it was the perfect location to get to Rocky Mountain NP. It was clean & quiet. There is not good service in the area but the WiFi is provided.

Awesome place at the end of a fairly rough dirt road. Original lodge with pool table. Dark sky, lots of stars. Definitely going back. Probably stay in in one of the tent “cabins” facing the pond with showers!
