Rustic Barn in South Boulder

A Hidden Gem

This quaint, rustic barn in South Boulder offers a timeless country feel, complete with a wooden fence, open fields, and stunning Flatiron Mountain views. It’s beautiful year-round, with especially warm, golden tones in the fall. The best lighting is in the afternoon.

Getting There

  • Take US-36 West toward Boulder.
  • Exit at Table Mesa/Foothills and stay right for Table Mesa.
  • Turn right onto Table Mesa (also known as South Boulder Rd at this intersection).
  • The barn is about half a mile up on the right, just before the creek.

Important Details

  • Private Access: I have a photography permit, but the barn is locked to the public. You’ll need to hop the fence next to where you park—I’ll meet you at the gate to assist.

See below how to get there and some sample pictures.
