Foot of the Mountain Motel is a genuine piece of Boulder history, a historic motel located where Boulder Canyon meets the city that has welcomed travelers since 1934. The property sits near Boulder Canyon, Boulder Creek, Flagstaff Mountain, downtown, and Pearl Street, offering guests an easy way to experience both sides of Boulder. Foot of the Mountain began as a collection of mountain cottages at the base of Boulder Canyon created for travelers who wanted to feel close to nature without being far from town—an idea that still defines the property today.

Today, it remains a relaxed, cabin-style motel with cabin-inspired rooms and a wooded setting that feels distinctly local. The rooms, cottages, and location give guests a comfortable home base where mornings can begin with canyon air and coffee, afternoons unfold along Boulder Creek or through Pearl Street shops, and evenings end with dinner downtown before returning to a historic motel that feels removed from the rush of the city.

Guests choose Foot of the Mountain for character, location, simple comforts, and a genuine Boulder experience—a place that offers history, personality, and mountain access over a polished hotel experience. This is a historic property, not a brand new luxury hotel; rooms vary in size and layout, and each has its own personality.
