Centrally located, with easy access to Boulder, Denver and the Rocky Mountains, our family home has so much to offer your adventuresome family, or those looking for a small town experience in beautiful Colorado.
Our home features modern touches, a large back yard and a cozy back patio with ample room to relax. Feel free to enjoy an evening fire in the chiminea or enjoy grilling a delicious meal using fresh herbs from the garden.
Within walking distance, you'll find Waneka lake, a local brewery, and multiple parks. Waneka lake is one of our favorite natural areas, offering one of the best views of the mountains, and an easy yet enjoyable place to enjoy some time outdoors. It's also an amazing spot to catch a sunset (or a fish if you have a license). It's also right next to a working farm, which has a neat farm stand that opens up in the summer months.
If you head East, a 20-minute walk will take you to downtown Lafayette.
The Space
Our home has been tastefully updated over the years to provide a warm and welcoming experience for all guests and visitors. The open floor-plan lets plenty of light in and makes the living space feel accommodating.
Our home is a tri-level – you enter on the middle floor into the main living space which flows into the dining space and kitchen. Down a short flight of stairs is another living space where you'll find a TV, Wii console and piano along with board games, Lego & other toys tucked inside built in cabinets.
Upstairs, you'll find the bedrooms, bathrooms, linen closet and washer/dryer. In the primary bedroom, you'll find a queen bed, two small closets and an attached 3/4 bath (with a shower).
The second bedroom has a two twin sized beds with the option of a third, pull-out trundle (also a twin). The third bedroom has one twin sized bed and a small desk. Our home sleeps 6 comfortably.
The main bathroom is off the hallway and has been recently remodeled with a deep soaking tub.
If you're looking for some quiet space to work, enjoy some yoga, or just relax during your stay, we've recently added a backyard studio office. The office includes a standing desk, lots of natural light and a heat pump to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

We had such an amazing time at Chris and Meredith’s home in Lafayette. It was so handy to Boulder and Denver but the area itself is lovely too. The house is a well set up family home, plenty of space and entertainment for our kids and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. A close walk to local amenities and a pretty lake, playground etc. Communication and instructions were great and accommodating a longer stay at short notice was much appreciated. The welcome gifts were unnecessary but so much appreciated, grateful for hospitality going above and beyond ❤️
We had a great time at Meredith's house! It was clean and comfortable. We especially loved the bike paths all around town and the near by parks. Thank you!
Had a fantastic swap with Chris, Meredith and their three kids. They looked after our home and two cats. Fantastic communication throughout, care and respect for our home and pets and well cleaned on departure. Can’t wait to swap again - we’re already plotting how we can swap in the future!
Exchanging with Meredith and family was great! They were flexible when we had some last minute changes, their house is adorable and clean, and overall we had a great time! Thank you!
Our stay at Karley’s home was absolutely amazing! Our favorite swap yet. Her home is really close to the beautiful black sand beach. So much to see and do in the area. The home is so well equipped with anything you might need. Our kids loved the games and caring for their very sweet kitty. Karley was a joy to coordinate a swap with - so kind and helpful. Thanks again Karley & family!
Karley was a wonderful guest in our home! We loved swapping with her and her family. Thanks!
Communication with Jamie was great! Their home is in a great location right near the mountains where you can jump on walking or biking trails, but also close to the city for easy access to things. Thanks!
