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.

It was nice.

It was nice. The spot wasn’t very level, we had to use some of their firewood under our tires to level the van. But it was quiet and nice in the trees, and the portable toilet worked well.

Willow's Roost

The space was very clean, including the toilet house. I enjoyed swinging on the tall swings for a bit and the landscape was beautiful. Jennifer and David were very kind hosts!

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!
