About this property

Recently renovated, fully-furnished 1938 home in Old North Boulder, Bungalow Asio is the original farmhouse for the fruit orchard formerly on this land just north of downtown. Asio is an owner-managed, full-time rental for quality-minded travelers and those looking for a beautiful turn-key home for a longer stay. We live next door, available to help make your time in Boulder as comfortable as possible.

Displaying unique artist features inside and out, Bungalow Asio has 1200 sq. ft. and seems much larger. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, Asio comfortably sleeps six, is cozy for two and spacious for the whole family. Additionally, the loft converts to a queen bed. The chef's kitchen is a guest favorite.

An easy one-mile walk to the Pearl Street Mall or to several trailheads, Asio is even closer to shops, cafes, banks, a pub, a pharmacy, and a boutique Whole Foods grocery store.

Available for a minimum month stay at $5300 ($6500 summer). Please feel free to write (9am-9pmMST) with any questions or concerns.

Best host and property ever

I cannot endorse enough the host for this property - so thoughtful, kind, responsive, caring, and genuine. She thought of EVERYTHING. Arrived to chocolate and flowers, a comprehensive book for how to use the home and where to go in Boulder, and just the sweetest space with endless character. I wish I could have stayed a year. Worth every penny.

Cutest Bungalow Ever

My husband and I spent a month at this cute bungalow in Boulder. We had several rounds of guests during that time. Everyone loved it—so close to Pearl Street and the boutique Whole Foods Ideal Market. Lots of nice restaurants in Boulder as well as vistas, hikes, and drives. This house was the perfect location for everything.

Home away from home

There’s so much to say… From the moment we walked through the fabulously crafted wooden gate into the GARDENS of Bungalow Asio, we knew; This is THE place to be. THEN, the rest of the experience also exceeded expectations. Donna is now a good friend and balanced hanging out with being very attentive to our needs. She offered so many ways to improve our stay - starting with chocolate and wine, to making sure the bikes were just right, to bringing books over that our son would like…We were so happy to have her close by as well - we loved getting to know her ❤️ The beds were SO comfortable and the rooms were just right. The kitchen was stocked to the brim with the perfect equipment. We didn’t need a thing (though I suggested a frother would be fun for morning coffee). The location is too notch - biking or walking everywhere was key. We often went into town or hiked up Sanitas or biked to Ideal Market. The location couldn’t be better because we were close to everything yet also had a personal oasis in the front AND back yard. We will certainly be back. We miss is already ❤️ Thank you for making BA so special, Donna. Xoxo

Exactly What We Hoped it Would Be

We decided to move the tent to Boulder for a month, working remotely but also hiking and running. The house was perfect for two of us and for one week, family (couple). We loved the house - just the fight balance of coziness and neatness - and found the kitchen perfect for cooking. You know those rentals where there are inexplicable kitchen appliance parts that don't fit together? That's not this house. Here, everything you need is here and it all works. The location was great for us, giving us places to run if we were in a rush but letting us get out of town quickly for more scenic runs and hikes.

Great Experience

We had a wonderful time in Donna’s home. The Asio house is so cute!!! We stayed for almost 3 months and felt right at home. And, the master bed is really comfortable. The house is thoughtfully decorated and the kitchen is super well stocked. There is everything you need. And, both the front and backyard are amazing! The neighborhood is lovely and really close to the trails, downtown and supermarket. Highly recommend:)

About the host

Hosted by Donna Coupard

I have resided in Boulder since '91, originally from the DC area. I am a painter (former dancer) and enjoy gardening. My daughter was raised here at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. I still live next door to Asio, which I purchased after having been the property manager for the former owner and good friend for over seven years. With the mountains, rivers, and canyons, the university, the thriving music and arts scene, and sports to participate in around every corner, Boulder provides everything I look for in life. It's not surprising it seems to regularly top a lot of the lists for good living.

Why they chose this property

I moved to Boulder in 1991 to attend graduate school at Naropa University. After living in various parts of town, I purchased the house next door to Asio in 2001 (which is where I reside) because of its location, the history of a close-knit neighborhood community, and living well close to downtown. When Asio came up for sale in 2012, I jumped at the chance to save the charming house from the wrecking ball (developers were wanting to build a large, modern house on the property). I spent much of 2013 lovingly and carefully renovating Asio inside and out, striking a balance between preserving and enhancing historic qualities, honoring features from a former artist/carpenter/owner, and including necessary modern conveniences. I think you'll agree we found a good balance.

What makes this property unique

Bungalow Asio is situated perfectly in Boulder, a short walk to shops, restaurants, and cafes, a quick run or bike ride (nice assortment of bikes are provided) to open space trails, three blocks from public transportation, and a fifteen minute walk to the Pearl Street Mall and downtown. Asio is surrounded by an adobe wall and privacy fencing, its property filled with mature trees, flagstone paths and patios, gardens, and three outdoor seating/eating areas. The kitchen makes any chef happy, the antique spiral staircase to the TV/getaway loft charms all ages, the gas fireplace warms up the coldest winter evenings, the swamp cooler (like an A/C) cools the hottest summer days, and the amazing quiet in the house calms all souls.
