3 Bedroom House in Boulder

It hardly gets any closer to both Boulder city and NatureRx driven lifestyle with our lake front cottage only 8 mi. up legendary Flagstaff mountain from historic Chautauqua National Historic Landmark and its world renown trails and canyons . Our cottage is a unique opportunity to experience the best of the great Colorado Outdoors! Faces Roosevelt National Forest and the Flagstaff mountain top gem of Gross Reservoir providing one of a kind views of both water & the surrounding foothills.

Three bedrooms and a family room that can serve as a fourth sleeping area can accommodate up to ten guests in mountainside magic (6 guests are allowed w/ the reservation and extra guests are 50$ per guest per night). Charming cozy interiors with majestic views and a provide more than adequate space with our large lawn space and outdoor playground.
FIVE FAVORITE FEATURES:
Majestic views of mountains and lake make you feel you are a bird in a tree nest!
Walking down the hill in front of the house with inflatable paddle boards backpacks (we have two!) and launching right on the sandy shore!
Walking the many national forest and Boulder county trails around the house!
Family bonding in our therapeutic round jacuzzi under the stars!
Grilling your favorite meal on the large patio facing the lake!
Taking paddle boards to the many inlets of the lake and the famous Forsythe Canyon Creek Falls (you can walk to them from the house as well along the perfect Forsythe Canyon Creek Trail)!

Summary: This was my first time staying in a property that was regularly lived in my the owner. The property was priced economically, but there were some things in the listing that were not clearly communicated that should be. Our goal was near a lake with a hot tub and this did accomplish that. However, this property is on the Gross Reservoir which is undergoing a multi-year construction project to add to the dam. The lake is dropped significantly and there are huge cranes, a concrete plant and equipment going all hours of the day and night. The owner obviously has no control over this - but it should have been stated. The pictures you see of the lake are not accurate. The home is very eclectic and is decorated with plants, rocks and books. It wasn't as clean as I would prefer, but it was fine, especially knowing that they lived there. We did have to hand wash all the dishes prior to using them because they were just not clean. The dishwasher is broken. The hot tub was nice and we regularly ate on the patio. However, the photos of the patio are not reflective of the current state. It's very cluttered and the yard is very grown over. The house is in a wonderful neighborhood at the top of the mountain. It could absolutely be an amazing property but you need to know about the Gross Reservoir Construction project (I should have googled this prior) and it could be cleaner for sure.
