The property is in a great location, and very close to miles of walking trails that we enjoyed with our dogs. It felt safe and clean. We spent our evenings in Olde Town Arvada, which is walkable from the house, enjoying the local restaurant and brewery scene. The house was welcoming, and exactly as it described in the listing. The host was very easy to communicate with throughout our trip, including when we requested an early check-in the day of our arrival. Couldn’t have been happier, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Excellent stay for a relaxing time

This property was exactly as described and was in an excellent location for our short trip. Everything was well stocked, clean, and more than adequate to meet our needs. Communication was excellent and any questions we had were answered immediately. Being so close to the old town area made it really easy to grab some late night meals with friendly service. We also took time to enjoy the jacuzzi and blow up screen given the beautiful weather. We’ll definitely keep this location on our short list for returns.

Great backyard, cozy set up & good customer service from the hosts

We stayed here while hiking through Colorado. This was our first stay & our favorite out of our 9 days in Colorado & 4 stays. The hosts were prompt at getting us the check in information, with questions & even provided complimentary snacks for our stay. 10/10 would recommend & would stay here again.

Girls trip

This property was great for our girls trip. 4 of us stayed, it was everyone’s first time in Colorado. The house was perfect. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all kinds of helpful things like coffee, and plastic baggies. The back yard was so cozy for relaxing early morning and in the evenings. Old town Arvada was very cute and a quick walk from the house.

Beautiful home in a nice area

Loved our stay at this extremely clean, updated home. The backyard and hot tub are awesome, too. It was nice to be able to walk to local restaurants and shops, and at the same time the neighborhood was quiet and felt safe during our visit. We also hiked at Rocky Mountain National Park and saw Garden of the Gods, which were each about a 90-minute drive from the house. Would stay here again!
