Great Location!!

Great spot and close to less than 10 minutes away from downtown. Just a few blocks walk to light rail as well. Ashton is a great and probably the best host I have booked through. Very quick to respond if I had a question. Even though they are updating a bit, it it is still a great place with lots of historical charm! Will stay again if we need a place to stay in Denver! Thanks so much Ashton!

About the host

Hosted by Ashton Jackson

My first experience designing spaces was in Florida where I renovated vintage campers. That was ~10 years ago, and since then I've re-imagined and hosted a cornucopia of properties, from beachside bungalows to this delightful cottage in Denver (my biggest project yet).

My spaces are sometimes wild, sometimes peaceful, and always designed to transport my guests to another world.

Why they chose this property

At first glance, this neighborhood may not impress. It's old, and many of the homes (and people in them) walk a fine line between charming and tired. However, it carries a deep, community-centered culture that is SO HARD to find in a city full of transplants like myself. The neighbors know each other. They share stories. Those who can afford it put amazing work into beautifying their homes, and who can't afford it enjoy 360 beautiful hill-top views of downtown Denver and sunsets over the Rockies instead.

In my opinion, this location is extremely underrated, but won't be for long. Couples and small families are fixing up the cottages here, appreciating the walkability to 4 or 5 nearby parks and the Denver trail system, the super-easy lightrail access to Downtown Denver and Golden, the abundance of incredible food options, and all of the more luxurious amenities built for the nearby Sloan's Lake neighborhood.

This area is a diamond, and I can't wait to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

There's not a touch of 'Millenial Gray'.

Respectfully, there's nothing wrong with neutrals - but my opinion is when you're traveling, it's fun to experience something different from what you might like to live with every day! Enter, "The Little Easy".

This cottage is a total labor of love - an outlet for my artistic side, an experiment in interior design, and an effort to transport guests into a world of imagination. In summer its pollinator garden explodes with wildflowers; in winter it lends views of a city blanketed in snow, ending in snow-capped peaks.

Finally, the cottage is in an absurdly convenient location (described elsewhere in this listing), but this is also a place where you can come, stay awhile, never leave the house, and be completely content.
