About this property

Mapleton Hill - Artists Colorful Apartment in Welcoming Home

Coronavirus Update:
Reservations cancelled due to this pandemic are fully refundable, until the CDC fully eases restrictions to travel, etc. Susurro is cleaned per local and state recommendations with 1 day vacant between guests.

Please note Susurro is entirely independent of the rest of our home, meaning that there is no shared ventilation, which makes Susurro an even safer place for you to stay. We welcome any and all suggestions for keeping you healthy during your stay.

Update:
January 25, 2023 - we have replaced our beautiful antique stove ( truthfully - that was a challenge to cook on) with a new contemporary inductive electric stove (with convection and air fry oven) due to recent research documenting the health hazards associated with gas stoves and replaced all stove related cooking utensils.

We replaced the living room sofa with a Room and Board sleeper couch that is very comfortable.

Additionally we will be solar powered with the installation of photovoltaic panels towards the end of February 2023. We have installed an EV charger (Level 2 ChargePoint 48amp) that is fee for the first time use as well.

Welcome to Boulder, Colorado...everything you want from a big city, yet it feels like a small town; world-class restaurants and shops, a major university, an abundance of cultural events, a plethora of year-round outdoor activities and lots of music from around the globe.

Minutes from downtown Boulder, walking distance to excellent coffee and tea houses, restaurants, bakery, shopping, well equipped grocery store, trails and more. Our artist’s home is located within a quiet, historic residential district known as Mapleton Hill. 'Susurro' - our sunny and light, very private garden/walk-out apartment has a separate entrance and is part of our recently eco-remodeled home originally built in 1910. Our 750 sq. ft. apartment is colorful, eclectically furnished, with hot water baseboard heating, solar powered, all domestic water filtered, cork floors, lots of light, antique cooking stove, custom trim, open layout, split level (with two steps) - living room/dining room/kitchen, hand painted floor, and mosaic tiled bathroom floor. Our home is a “come and borrow a cup of organic sugar” kind of home. Please note - Susurro is exceptionally well insulated however, we live upstairs, we are very quiet and we do not wear shoes inside our home. If you need total silence please reconsider - you will hear soft footsteps but never voices and in eight years we have had only two complaints.

'Susurro' is two blocks away from the foothills of the Rockies with great hiking trails, and the continental divide only a thirty-minute drive away. We are a 30 minute drive to Denver; 30 minute drive to Eldora Mountain Resort, 60 minute drive to Rocky Mountain National Park, and a 1.5 to 2.25 hour drive to Loveland, Winter Park, Breckenridge and Vail ski areas.

Boulder has year-round sunshine. The winter season usually brings brief snow storms followed by beautiful sunny days. It's not uncommon to have warm weather in the high 60s-70s in February and March. Late spring and summer offers warm days, wonderful thunderstorms and few airborne pests. Falls are warm with cool nights and some of the most amazing displays of light and color.

Well cared for and behaved dogs are welcome.

Inspections and Safety:

City of Boulder Short Term Rental License RHL-0000634

There have been legitimate concerns raised in the national and international media about the safety and lack of regulation of short-term rentals. Rest assured that:
Susurro is up to date in all required inspections (per City of Boulder rental license regulations); has a current rental license (see: http://gisweb.bouldercolorado.gov/agswebsites/pds/rentalinquiry/ - any property with a color-coding has an up to date rental license); has commercial property insurance from American Modern Insurance that covers short-term rentals; and Susurro includes functioning carbon monoxide and smoke detectors as well as fire extinguishers.

In addition, each bedroom has City of Boulder approved egress windows and two door exits, in the unlikely event of a fire.

Your safety is important to us.

Peaceful with convenient access
The property is creative and funky in the best sort of way, the hosts are amazing people who are warm and welcoming and long time inhabitants of the area, and the location is quite peaceful while giving quick access to both mountain trails and all the amenities of downtown Boulder. The neighborhood where the property sits provides a beautiful pagentry of diverse architecture and landscaping and was a joy to explore when not hiking or exploring downtown. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed making and eating meals here when not sampling the restaurants nearby.

Restful and beautiful place
This cozy basement apartment was perfect for us! We spent a weekend visiting our CU Boulder student and exploring the town. Very comfortable beds, fun and memorable decor and furnishings, extremely quiet neighborhood and peaceful, home-y house. The nearby hiking trail is stunning(!) and the restaurants and food store .5 mile walk away were great too. The owners were kind and responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend!
