A Historic Boulder Stay at the Foot of the Boulder Mountains
Our Place In Boulder, Co.
Foot of the Mountain Motel has been part of Boulder’s story since 1934. Originally built as a collection of mountain cottages at the base of Boulder Canyon, the property was created for travelers looking for a stay that felt close to nature without being far from town. Over the decades, it became known for its one-of-a-kind setting, cabin-style character, and easy access to both the foothills and downtown Boulder.
Today, Foot of the Mountain Motel has been thoughtfully restored to preserve that original charm while making the guest experience more comfortable for modern travel. The result is a stay that still feels rooted in Boulder’s past, with the comfort and convenience guests expect today.
A Historic Stay with Real Character
Unlike a standard hotel, Foot of the Mountain Motel offers something harder to replicate: a sense of place. The property’s wood interiors, cottage-style layout, and foothills setting reflect the spirit of old Boulder while giving guests a peaceful home base close to the city’s best-known attractions.
This is the kind of stay where mornings can start with coffee and canyon air, afternoons can unfold on Pearl Street or along Boulder Creek, and evenings can end back in a setting that feels quiet, cozy, and personal. It’s Boulder with a little more atmosphere—and a lot more character.
