Make yourself at home when you stay at this stylish vacation rental in the heart of the city. This historic home has a mood all its own. Thoughtfully curated with loads of art and unique touches to ensure your stay is anything but boring. The Drake (meaning duck) is a very subtle underlying theme of the house inspired by the owner's grandfather who purchased the town of Drake Colorado in 1976.
Take advantage of the location by walking to the charming Downtown Dundee neighborhood for dinner, drinks, and fun or utilize the fully equipped kitchen and moody dining room to wine and dine at home. The well-appointed living room offers cozy vibes and a smart TV that is compatible with any of your preferred streaming services...and if TV isn't your thing, enjoy some fresh air on the deck set-up with an outdoor sectional and romantic string lights hung above. The bedrooms are furnished with high-end plush pillow top mattresses, luxurious bamboo sheets, and room-darkening curtains to ensure you get a good night's sleep. There are three main bedrooms and a sunroom converted into a 4th bedroom with a twin over full bunk. This room has an open doorway to one of the bedrooms, which is great for kids, and plenty of additional space for a pack-and-play or extra luggage if needed. In addition to the bedrooms, the living room also has a pull-out sofa to help accommodate larger groups. There are two full bathrooms with a shower and tub, one on the main floor and one upstairs. While the basement is unfinished at this time, there is a washer and dryer for your use. You'll enjoy this home's warmth and hospitality as each room offers something unique.

We loved our stay! The house is beautiful and provided more than enough room for our six adults and two kids. We especially loved the deck seating, and my kids loved playing in the yard. Would definitely stay again!

Laure, I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you so much for staying with us, and we hope to see you again!
We loved our stay here! We had 2 families with young kids and felt very comfortable in the space. The hosts were excellent at helping us quickly when we contacted them. I would stay here again in the future!
We were close to pretty much everything that we wanted to experience - the zoo, kid-friendly venues, local restaurants, and stores for quick grocery runs. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. We all had a great time relaxing here in between our adventures.
It was just as described. We came into town to visit Zoo with our grandkids. Nice area outback to sit and enjoy the weather. Would stay here again if in the area.

The property was exactly as listed. Very clean, very comfortable. Sweet little back deck space that's fairly private. The neighborhood is quiet and cute. The hosts were kind and responded well to my questions. I would definitely stay here again.
The host was very nice and easy to work with. The home was clean. Beds were very comfy. TV offered lots of choices to stream. Convenient location to grocery stores and restaurants. Bathrooms were updated. We would recommend and stay here again.
Nice house for our extended family when in town for a graduation. Easy access to campus and downtown activities. We used the kitchen every day and it was well-equipped. Hosts were super responsive.
