Had everything we needed for my family of 5 over graduation weekend, nice location, beautiful barbeque in back and fire pit in front. Great family time! Host was just beyond amazing in communicating and making this whole process a breeze. This stunning house was immaculate and had everything we needed and was exactly as advertised.

We loved our stay here and plan to stay again when we are next in the Boulder area. This isn’t just a rental house, it’s a home away from home with everything you could possibly need provided. This place is true comfort with exceptional service. Thanks Alexis!

Alexis's home feels like a hotel. All the little touches like the makeup towels, shampoo conditioner and body wash in labeled dispensers, her kitchen full of every piece of equipment you could need. It’s so beautiful and cozy. The organic beds and crisp white organic bamboo sheets make us feel like we were staying at a 5 star hotel. And the home is so squeaky clean. The views of the mountains from the big living room windows were a lovely sight throughout the day. And being 2 blocks from North Boulder Park/kids playground made this a perfect location for traveling with our little kids. If we had any questions, Alexis responded right away. Thank you for sharing your home with us
Alexis!

Fabulous location, clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful visit. The owner left a very useful list of their favorite places in Boulder and instructions on how to use everything at their home. Easy walk to Pearl street and to a lovely hike with an amazing view of Boulder and the surrounding area. Would for sure come back and recommend!

This well appointed house was perfect for a week long stay in Boulder. The neighborhood is lovely and very quiet with North Boulder Park just a block away. A clean and bright house that felt good and boasted comfortable beds and furniture. Plus, a washer/ dryer to stay up on laundry. Would stay again!

We arrived from England to settle our son in to UC Boulder. The 'Zen' house was just that. Peaceful, super clean and calming. Alexis was an amazingly responsive host and kept us updated all the way through. Everything we needed was on hand and the location for hiking or shopping was perfect. We will be visiting Boulder many times over the next four years and will always try to come back to the Zen house. Thank you so much Alexis for sharing your beautiful home with us. Kind Regards Tom Jenny James and Chloë

We arrived a bit late in the evening. I could tell easily that we were at the correct location as the front window was lit up with a beautiful assortment of candles. The neighborhood is well maintained with beautiful homes. When walking in the door, we were met with a wonderful aroma, a very clean light scent. Not sure what it was, but the home smelled like a spa. The home was immaculate. Everything was super clean and beautiful. My husband and I took the master suite and my 3 teens divided up the remaining 2 bedrooms. We had more than enough room! The host left a bowl of much appreciated snacks which came in handy after a late night traveling and a detailed print out about the home. The latter came in handy when trying to figure out how to work the lights and automated shades. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the bathrooms were stocked with products that we typically use. The front porch swing was super comfy and used by my husband and kids as they chatted about the days events.
I texted the owner to let her know that we had arrived. She promptly responded.
If my daughter ends up going to UC we will definitely be staying here in the future.

We enjoyed everything about our stay in this beautiful home. The pictures do not do the house justice; it’s been thoughtfully renovated, beautifully decorated, and is full of special touches that make it an actual experience. The beds and seating are comfortable, bathrooms luxurious, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need to cook a nice meal. The neighborhood is private and charming, but also close to everything Boulder has to offer. We enjoyed morning coffee and lazy afternoons on the oversized porch swing, long walks around the neighborhood, and the friendly folks in the community. Cannot imagine staying anywhere else when we come back to visit family!

Loved the house, not the yard
This house would be a perfect 10 if the backyard was better manicured. It just didn’t suit the awesomeness of the house. The owner was more than hospitable with us. She replied in a timely manner and did everything to make us feel at home. This made up for the backyard! The primary bedroom has huge windows and lots of natural light. We will be back!

Perfect Getaway
I stayed for a college girls 20 year reunion and the house was perfect, everything was as described on the listing, the house was beautiful, well stocked with great amenities (towels/sheets etc). The walk to Pearl St was about 20 minutes which made it close enough but still quiet, also nice and quiet with a view of the mountains. Alexis was very responsive to anything we needed. I would love to rent again!
