About this house rental

This beautiful home sits on a spacious, landscaped corner lot in North Boulder. Enjoy your morning tea or coffee sitting on the front porch with comfortable wicker chairs, nestled under a canopy of trees, listening to the deep, gentle tones of the nearby chimes. This home welcomes you with a cozy living room, complete with a gas fireplace and piano. Advance to the dining room that features a round oriental wooden carved dining table (with large inlaid lazy susan) and on into the kitchen with its generous stone countertops. Upstairs offers two comfortable bedrooms, each with a large chest of drawers and closet. The modern bathroom is complete with a deep soaking tub, waterfall faucet, and shower. This lovely home possesses a simple but modern Asian ambiance. The kitchen and dining room are defined by sliding glass doors to the south, inviting you to wander out onto a large deck with a lounge chair, outside table (with umbrella), and a big, stainless cooking grill. This deck, plus another bedroom porch above, enjoy a view of nature seldom experienced in a residential neighborhood, complete with a backyard stream. This stream is a welcome sound as you drift off to sleep. You will appreciate being within a two block walking distance to Lucky's Grocery Store, Logan's Coffee Shop, Lucky's Bakery, Chinese and Italian restaurants, Lucky's Breakfast Cafe, and more, and a few minute drive to more shops and restaurants to the north. The Riverside House has easy access to great public transportation for a quick ride (10 minutes) to downtown Boulder, the famous Pearl Street Mall, and just minutes further to the University of Colorado. A half block west of the house you emerge from a short pedestrian tunnel to an uninterrupted view of meadow and mountains leading to a mile walk or bike ride around Wonderland Lake. Learn to paraglide or cross country ski at the nearby park? Back at the house, you will appreciate the clean, uncluttered feel of the living areas, the well-organized kitchen, (yes, the spices are alphabetized) and the elegant energy that surrounds you. You will be more than at home, more than at ease, and more than comfortable at The Riverside House. Come, stay, at home.

Cute, clean and cozy house in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. Merrin the host was very responsive to our needs.The extra amenities are beyond the normal house rental and very much appreciated. We will definitely stay again the next time we are in Boulder.

I've been visiting Boulder every 6-8 weeks for a year now since my daughter moved there from the east coast. By far this is my favorite place to stay! The owner was prompt to reply and thoughtful in communication. The property was perfect for our needs. And the location was ideal, being less than a mile from my daughter. We will for certain look to stay again and again.

Our family’s summer trip to Boulder would not have been the same without the experience of staying in the Riverside house. Not only is the property beautiful and inviting from the outside, but comforting and comfortable on the inside too. We particularly loved the back deck where we could see tomato plants growing and hear the babble of the tiny brook that runs right below the property. My daughter and husband loved playing the piano, we loved the board games, and the amply-stocked pantry made us feel like guests instead of renters. I loved looking at all the books they had, from children’s to nutrition to sustainability. The pottery was beautiful and unique. The crowning glory for me was the access to Wonderland Lake and the Boulder Bike trail, which was a .2 mile walk from the neighborhood. I am a runner and having access to this trail and the lake path made my mornings delightful. The market, also .2 miles away, provided everything we needed, food and treat wise. I love this place and will always remember the peace, joy, and tranquility it brought while staying there.

The house is clean, spacious and very well equipped. Wonderful large kitchen, bathroom supplied with lovely soaps and lotions. Pretty, quiet neighborhood with trees and birdsong. A short walk to Wonderland lake. We had fun watching the paragliders swooping down from the hills. Altogether a terrific stay.

Second time staying in this VRBO while visiting our son at CU Boulder. Quiet neighborhood which is very close to Pearl St Mall and the Hill. House is perfect for 2-4 people. Comfortable, clean, and kitchen well stocked for those who want to cook.

We absolutely cannot say enough about this property and our host Merrin. She called the day of our arrival to give us all kind of interesting information on the neighborhood, including local grocery stores and restaurants, as well as a beautiful walk just minutes down the road where you could see the fall colors framed by the mountains! The whole neighborhood was lovely, lots of walkers, very safe, quiet, a little river ran through the neighborhood and I saw deer and rabbits on my morning walks! The house is so comfortable, a cozy glowing stove at night in the living room, easily adjustable temps, immaculately clean (the carpet had just been steam cleaned prior to arrival!), a lovely back deck and front porch where we spent many a relaxed hour! Merrin makes you feel completely at home and we highly recommend this house to everyone. There are stairs to the bathroom and bedrooms but my parents are both 80 and there were absolutely no issues at all.

We loved Boulder and the Riverside house. The location was perfect and Merrin was extremely helpful with suggestions of great things to do (and eat) near the home. We highly recommend The Riverside House.
