The 'Gap Eco-Lodging

Offering transcontinental bicyclists & others (hopefully also shunning fossil-fuelishness) a comfortable & eco-conscious place to stay in the close-in foothills of Boulder, Colorado ...bicycling hub of the known universe!

There are certainly other lodging options already well established in town, but we don't see anyone specifically catering to "alt-modests" with favorable rates.
And while it's great to see other places making serious strides to be eco-conscious, we think you'll agree that we're offering something truly unique & special.

'Very close to town, yet very quiet & peaceful, comfortably beyond the din of the urban jungle.

'Especially interested in hosting folks that are able to arrive & get around by alternative / non-fossil-fueled means. That's how we get around as a matter of routine, and we're really thrilled to host those that do the same! We look forward to meeting you & hearing about your adventures!

We can still accommodate others ... but w/o the favorable discount.

'Have some bicycles to loan!
Just be aware that we're at 6000' elevation. It's 1.75 miles to the nearest bus stop, 5.5 miles from downtown, and a gentle uphill grade (on average) from there to here. If you're coming directly from sea level, you may find yourself sucking wind.

'Presently just have a loft to share,... a cozy space w/o door.

loft ... best view in the house

'Usually have fresh, home-laid eggs & garden veggies to share for breakfast, and we generally prefer to share meals whenever possible. There's not a lot of space available for one to have their own "separate stash" of food items ... we try to avoid redundancy.
We don't promise a breakfast ala "B&B", but if it works out that we can share, great!
You're most welcome to use the kitchen without smoke/stink/slime -ing up the place, and with common sensibility as to cleaning up after yourself(s).

Sorry, we're not able to accommodate your pet.
Have a 6 year old Malamute that doesn't always play nice with others (tho she loves people... especially little people). Also our often-free-ranging poultry birds need to do so w/o fear of fangs, etc..

Also not able to accomodate tabacco smokers. Sorry.

As for availability, drop us a note (e-addr below). Be advised that we're presently not booking more than just a couple of weeks out in advance, though it might not hurt to inquire about further-out... 'could maybe do some "penciling-in".
