The home’s backup capabilities, powered by Tesla Powerwalls and Starlink, provide peace of mind, while the expansive paved parking ensures your guests arrive with ease. Retreat to the top floor’s breathtaking and spa-like primary king bed suite (including bathroom mirrors sourced from an Indian palace), one of the two queen bedrooms, or the ground-floor bunk room, a refined space featuring four queen beds perfect for a curated group stay. For moments of leisure, you have exclusive access to a theater with reclining leather seating and a game room curated for all ages. Outside, the experience transcends the ordinary; you can find your center on the yoga balcony, gather around the custom eight-person cedar hot tub, or reflect by the firepit while taking a moment away from it all. Relax outdoors with a group hammock session on the four double hammocks- perfect for stargazing, afternoon naps, or meditation. Looking to stay in peak shape or get that perfect social media picture of you exercising in the Rockies? Use the outdoor pullup, pushup, and dip station to complement your hikes and morning runs prior to recovering in the cedar hot tub. This is more than a residence; it is a meticulously crafted environment for living your most inspired life. Come check it out, you will love the vibe and leave refreshed and ready to conquer your next mountain - wherever that may be and whatever form it may take.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

The prestigious Sunshine Canyon community offers the ultimate fusion of exclusive mountain living and convenient proximity to Boulder's vibrant culture, sitting just a ten-minute drive from the famed Pearl Street Mall. This area is celebrated for its abundant sunshine, dramatic, cinematic views that sweep from the Denver skyline to the majestic Continental Divide, and a tranquil, private atmosphere with luxury mountain homes nestled along scenic, winding roads. Residents enjoy an enviable lifestyle surrounded by thousands of acres of open space, with immediate access to world-class hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, all contributing to a coveted and active retreat against the stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.

Guest Access

Your experience includes complete, unfettered access to this 4,328-square-foot masterpiece, poised atop a two-acre mountain peak and yet low enough in elevation to remain comfortable and accessible. Your home commands truly mind-blowing vistas that range from sunrises over Boulder and Denver to the east, morning light beaming over the Flatirons, birds soaring across a pristine valley, and sunsets over the frequently snow-capped peaks of the Continental Divide. Approached via your own private driveway, this unparalleled location offers the rare luxury of being minutes from the heart of Boulder, close to the intellectual and athlete rigor of CU Boulder, and yet capturing that increasingly rare feeling of being entirely a world away. This property was formerly owned by the Beach Boys' producer and has hosted movie stars, world class musicians, pro athletes, Fortune 500 executives, artists, spiritual retreats, and many happy and loving families like ours that are seeking to get together, get away from it all, and still have privacy. It is a singular sanctuary, and quite simply, it is unique in Boulder.

Amazing home! Beautiful views from every window. Excellent amenities, thoughtful touches. There was not one single thing we needed that we couldn’t find there. Communication from host was great. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning views of the Rockies and Colorado landscape from almost every room in the house. This property is truly a gem and likely the best I’ve stayed at in my decade using Airbnb. Berna and Daniel spared no expense when they created this truly remarkable and one of a kind property. You can tell from the moment you walk in, the architect was intentional about the build, using space and light in the most optimal and alluring ways. High end furniture, views, and experience! I’d recommend it a hundred times over. Thank you Berna and Daniel for being amazing hosts and ensuring our stay was nothing less than spectacular!

This was by far the best AirBnb experience I have ever had! You don’t even want to leave the house because the experience of being in the quiet and tranquil environment is absolutely amazing. We will definitely rerun

We had an incredible stay here and will absolutely be back. The views alone are worth it, truly stunning and something our whole family enjoyed every day. Traveling with a toddler can be challenging, but this place made it easy. Our little one loved it just as much as we did. You can tell the hosts have thought of just about everything to make the stay comfortable and seamless. On top of that, they were the most responsive and proactive hosts we have ever had, and we have been using Airbnb for over 15 years. This was one of those rare stays that exceeded expectations across the board. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, well thought out getaway.

Our stay in the mountains outside of Boulder was the best trip we have ever taken. We booked this home because the pictures and location looked great but it surpassed all our expectations. The hosts were friendly, and very responsive. They have decorated this home immaculately. Nothing is overlooked, nothing is spared and everything makes you feel welcome and at home. The kitchen allowed us to cook everything from an all day roast to cookies! We played bags and giant connect four on the patio with the Rockies all around us. The views are so amazing, the games and movie theater created some amazing family memories. Town is close enough for visits and necessities but far enough you feel like you’re in a mountain retreat. Our five kids left with tears and claimed it was the best trip we have ever been on.

The house was perfect for a visit with our college-student daughter, and we took full advantage of everything it had to offer. The beds and furniture are comfortable, there are thoughtful touches like robes and charging stations in all of the rooms and the kitchen was well stocked for preparing a home cooked meal. The hosts were super helpful and responsive. Our weekend was everything we hoped: time spent with our college-student daughter, feeding her and her friends real food, relaxing, and enjoying everything Boulder has to offer. We’re hoping to make it an annual trip and can’t wait to return!
