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. Since we do not provide stoves, pans, utensils, or cleanup facilities, please bring paper towels to wipe off your stoves, pans, dishes, and utensils. A well-maintained portable flush toilet is provided in a tall tent near the main residence. A spigot can be found with fresh well water on the back side of the main residence. We do not offer showers. However, the Boulder Recreation Center (a 10-minute drive) offers showers and other facilities for a small fee. You can enjoy a historic mining town experience with fine dining and live bluegrass/ folk music at the town of Gold Hill which is less than 20 minutes up our canyon. Kayakers, climbers, hikers, and cyclists (mountain, road, and gravel) will have an outdoor playground within a very short drive or right outside our door. World-class climbing located at Eldorado Canyon State Park is only a 25-minute drive. If you seek bigger peaks beyond Boulder Mountain Parks, the Indian Peaks Wilderness and Rocky Mountain National Park are a gorgeous 45-minute drive.

Great escape for a clean and pristine escape for the weekend. Loved being 10 minutes from Boulder and 20 minutes from Gold Hill. Hosts are very kind, helpful and responsive.

Aspen's Nook

Aspen’s Nook is a cozy, clean space on a beautiful property. It’s a great option if you want some comforts of an indoor space while still being able to enjoy the outdoors. The hosts are friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend!

Willow's Roost

We had such a great stay at the roost- a great combination of quiet solitude and access to comforts such as a swing set and a great outdoor grill. Thank you for being such great hosts - we may just have to make this an annual tradition!

Willow's Roost

Peace & Quiet 10 Min from Boulder

Jennifer and David’s land was a perfect location just outside of Boulder. The tent was perfectly set up for beautiful morning views and the bed was very comfortable. You will park your vehicle near the house and the tent is located down the hill along a walking path from the house. The path is a bit uneven and rocky in spots so will be more difficult for people with mobility issues. The camp toilet is located near the parking space by the house and was in excellent condition compared to some camp toilets we’ve seen. Don’t forget to bring a flashlight/headlamp for any bathroom trips after dark! There are some solar lights along the path, but they are more for showing the general path location. A flashlight was still needed to walk between the tent and our SUV or bathroom. No food or drink was allowed at the tent site. Definitely understandable with the potential wildlife in the area. We had breakfast and our morning coffee at the picnic table near the house and the views from there were beautiful and peaceful too. Jennifer was out of town, but David was an excellent host! He gave us space, but was also easily available for anything we needed. He even asked permission to go down to the tent to water flowers while we were having breakfast. Very thoughtful of him! You can tell they take pride in their property and the spaces they provide for others. Highly recommend this place and hope to stay here again when in the area.

Willow's Roost

We loved our stay at Willow’s roost. So very quiet and peaceful considering it’s only 15 minutes from downtown Boulder. Great property and proximity to trails and nature.
