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:

this is such a great location. Shopping and hiking within walking distance.
This sweet little space was perfect. The location is so convenient to shopping and hiking in the foothills. We were within blocks. The neighborhood is quiet with a very nice park nearby. Hopefully will stay again very soon. Thanks!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Bruce Poulter

Host profile image
I am from Medellin, Colombia and am an artist and psychotherapist. I consider Susurro to be an ongoing art Installation as well as the rest of the 'orange house'. Susurro means 'to murmer' in Spanish. It is a custom from Colombia to name your home - hence Susurro. My partner is a PTSD researcher, 'artist's slave' and musician - playing the mbira (thumb piano) from Zimbabwe.
We have two daughters - both graduated from college and making decisions about graduate school - which makes us old (they think), young (we know)...
We purchased Susurro with the intent of remodeling it - but ended up completely rebuilding it from the foundation up. We were the architects, draftspeople, general contractor, electrician, plumber, interior designer, painters, etc - you get the drift and we are still married - happily.
We have totally enjoyed living here and meeting all the interesting people who have stayed here from different parts of the world.

Why they chose this property

Boulder is a beautiful city with incredible outdoor activities and cultural events. We chose this neighborhood due to its proximity and convenience to both downtown Boulder and mountain trails. We live in the 'orange house' on the property because we think this is the best neighborhood in Boulder. That being said we are available anytime while simultaneously guaranteeing your privacy.

What makes this property unique

We feel incredibly privileged to live in this house and be able to ride our bikes, walk to nearby trails and cafes and enjoy the many and varied events and activities that Boulder offers. We love the sunshine that abounds in Colorado. Susurro is quiet, private and simultaneously centrally located. We invite you to experience the beauty and comfort first-hand! We speak English and Spanish.
