Boulder’s Downtown Cottage; Central yet Secluded.
**Rated as Boulder's best Airbnb by travel writers and guests.** The reason is simple: it's a family run business spanning 3 generations, and over 40 years of local knowledge situated in the heart of Boulder just blocks from the Pearl Street Mall. From the front door it’s a quick trip to Colorado University (CU) Campus, Folsom Field, hiking in Chautauqua and Mt Sanitas, the Boulder Theater, and the many restaurants and bars that make Boulder a year around destination. Get a taste for Colorado life while staying in truly local comfort and style. Just a 2 minute walk from the Pearl St. Mall, the location of the Pine St. Cottage speaks for itself, but that's not all. Originally built in 1910, we recently renovated the space with the goal to rejuvenate and energize all who stay! We wanted to make it comfortable, yet keep the design simple and aesthetically pleasing.
