About this house rental
Welcome to The Hollow, a beautifully remodeled historic Boulder home where original 1918 character meets thoughtful, contemporary design.
The Hollow feels like a beautiful private Boulder home that happens to welcome guests, not a typical vacation rental. The interior is stylish and carefully curated, with comfortable furnishings, designer finishes, premium appliances, natural materials, and the kind of thoughtful details that make you want to settle in and stay awhile.
You'll find organic cotton linens, quality bedding, beautiful furnishings, and a home that is exceptionally clean and comfortable. The design is elevated without being formal, and stylish without sacrificing the feeling of being at home.
And the location is hard to beat.
Tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood, The Hollow is approximately
½ mile from Pearl Street Mall,
0.6 mile from CU Boulder,
0.7 mile from Boulder Theater, and
0.8 mile from Folsom Field.
Twenty Ninth Street is about 0.9 mile away, while
Mt. Sanitas hiking trails are approximately 1 mile away and Chautauqua Park about 1.4 miles away.
It's a rare combination: peaceful residential living with many of the best things in Boulder within walking distance.
The Home
The Hollow offers three bedrooms plus a queen-size sleeping option in the movie room, with a flexible layout that works particularly well for families, multiple couples, and multigenerational groups.
Because this is a historic home with a distinctive layout, we've described the sleeping spaces clearly so you know exactly what to expect.
Primary Suite — Open Upstairs Vaulted Ceiling Space
The primary suite is located upstairs in an open loft-style space.
The suite does not have a traditional bedroom door, creating an airy, open feel rather than a completely enclosed bedroom. Blackout blinds provide privacy and help create a restful environment for sleeping.
The suite features a comfortable bed, a beautiful en-suite bathroom with a large soaking tub, and access to a private balcony with Rocky Mountain views.
It's a peaceful place to start the morning with coffee or wind down after a day in Boulder.
Bedroom 2 — Main House
The second bedroom is located within the main house and provides a comfortable, private sleeping space away from the primary living areas.
Bedroom 3 — Private Guest Suite & Apartment
The third bedroom is located in a separate guest suite/apartment within the property.
This is one of The Hollow's most unique features and makes the home especially well suited to families, multiple couples, and multigenerational groups.
The private quarters can be closed off with doors from the main house giving guests their own separate space and privacy. When your group wants to be together, simply open the doors and the apartment becomes part of the full-home experience.
It's the flexibility of having your own space when you want it—and being together when you don't.
Movie Room — Queen Sleeping Option
The movie room includes a comfortable queen-size bed providing an additional sleeping option for guests who need more flexibility.
During the day, it's a great place to relax and watch a movie. At night, it can serve as a comfortable sleeping space for a guest or couple.
Please note that the movie room is a flexible sleeping area rather than a traditional enclosed bedroom.
Outdoor Living
Step outside into a lower-filled backyard oasis and enjoy one of the best parts of life in Boulder—being outdoors.
With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, the backyard is made for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, BBQs, and long dinners outside.
It's peaceful and inviting, giving you a place to relax at home after hiking, exploring Pearl Street, or spending the day in the mountains.
The Kitchen
The kitchen is designed for people who enjoy cooking, gathering, and lingering around the table.
You'll find premium appliances including a Thermador refrigerator, Wolf gas cooktop and oven, and wine refrigerator, along with the essentials for everything from a relaxed breakfast to dinner with friends and family.
The kitchen opens naturally into the home's gathering spaces, making it easy to cook while still being part of the conversation.
Experience Boulder Like a Local
The Hollow's location makes it easy to leave the car behind and explore.
Approximate distances:

Then come home to a quiet neighborhood, your own backyard, and a beautifully designed space that feels distinctly Boulder.
A Home, Not a Rental
We believe the difference is noticeable the moment you walk through the door.
The Hollow isn't furnished to look good in listing photos and nothing more. It's a real home, thoughtfully designed for people to actually live in.
The furnishings are beautiful but comfortable. The spaces are stylish but welcoming. The linens are soft, organic cotton, and thoughtfully chosen. Everything is clean, cared for, and intentionally selected.
Our goal is simple: you should feel like you've been invited to stay in a beautiful Boulder home—not like you've checked into a vacation rental.
The Hollow is sophisticated without being stuffy, comfortable without being ordinary, and personal without feeling cluttered.
Come for Boulder. Stay for the home.
