Fun Family gathering for a wedding in Golden

My family stayed with me at the Golden House for the weekend leading up to my son's wedding. It was a perfect gathering place and we were able to have a gathering with the wedding party in the courtyard before walking into downtown Golden. Everything was wonderful!

Such a thoughtfully done rental house

A group of girlfriends and I stayed here for a long weekend and were so impressed with the property. It was so homey and comfortable, along with being conveniently located with easy parking. Laura has the house stocked with so much care, it was so nice to have access to tubes, coffee, snacks etc on arrival. Highly recommend for a Golden getaway.

Lovely place in the center of Golden

This is a great place to stay in Golden that is close to everything. I wish that I had discovered this property when my son first started school at Mines rather than upon his graduation. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to enjoy the beautiful garden area during our stay. However, the home was clean, cute and cozy, and had everything that you could possibly need.

Great house, great host, and great location!

This house was right in the heart of Golden and totally walkable to the main strip and plenty of restaurants, hiking, and floating! I couldn’t imagine a better location. The house itself, was very spacious with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There were also comfy couches, a full kitchen, and a cute outdoor space! The host had everything we needed and more and went above and beyond to accommodate us. I would recommend this location for any type of group especially if you want a property with character and convenience!

Another perfect stay!

This is the perfect place to stay in the area! The house has everything anyone could possibly need! It has plenty of space and is in the perfect location in Golden! 10/10! I always look to book this place when coming to the Denver area. It’s about 20 min from downtown Denver, Red Rocks, and many hiking trails. Several trails, a creek, bars, restaurants, and shops are walkable as well! The house is well-decorated and cozy. I also appreciate the details the host puts into the house to make it a great stay as well such as plenty of cereal and maps/brochures! Thanks again for everything!

Wedding Party

This was absolutely the most well equipped and comfortable VRBO I have ever stayed at. My wife and I stayed here with our entourage for our wedding weekend and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about this space and the amazing host. Laura was very communicative and responded quickly to all our questions, and was even able to arrange an earlier check in for our group. The house is so much bigger than the photos show with spacious common areas and cozy sleeping areas. This space was so eclectic and welcoming that my wife wants to live there now and we are already planning our return. However, I cannot end this raving review without mentioning the insane location of this house being walkable to any area of Golden, which allowed us to never have to drive. Thank you to Laura for being the most amazing host and we can’t wait to stay here again.

Immaculate Accommodations

Laura and The Golden Guest house could not have been more accommodating to our group! The house had every amenity we needed and more. Laura is the best communicator of any host I have ever booked with and also made it a priority to respect our privacy. All of our friends that stayed elsewhere were super jealous of our setup! Thank you again to Laura for making our best friends Wedding Weekend a huge success.
