It's Not Just Your Private Home to Enjoy...The Location Offers A Living and Vacation Experience To Enrich Your Soul and Reset Your Compass!

Our home is not a " bare-rental".... it is our home that you will be living in with all its conveniences and high end accompaniments. Our family's comfort is shared for you to enjoy. There is a big difference that you will notice while being a guest in our home. The value you receive for the money you are spending is at the top. Just read all of our great reviews and what our guests say!

My wife and I own a quaint 2 bedroom 2 ½ bath with 2 car garage home in historic Olde Town Arvada. We are a 5 -10 minute stroll to all the restaurants and shoppes along Old Wadsworth, Grandview Avenue, and other streets in between including the new commuter rail station that will quickly whisk you to downtown Denver and also connect you with the Denver International Airport. You won’t need a car to enjoy all the activities the western towns of Golden and Arvada as well as the many, MANY city attractions that Denver has to offer.

The foothills and world renowned Red Rocks Amphitheater are a quick 10 minute drive away. The historic mountain towns of Golden and Idaho Springs are 15 minutes and 30 minutes away respectively. Escape to the Rocky Mountains or visit Denver and its “mile-high” list of activities to do. Both are a short 15 minute drive or quick light rail commute away from the Olde Town Charmer!

The location of our home is awesome because it offers the SAFE laid back community setting of Olde Town Arvada where you can relax to dinner at home or within a short walk to town. Enjoy live music. There are plenty of venues. Golden, Arvada and LoDo / Denver offer some historic venues for live music. And when you’re ready to escape the high energy of downtown Denver, you’re only a short ride back home for a more peaceful, safe and quiet setting to prepare you for your next day of activities!

Our home offers modern accommodations with all the conveniences of home. Central Air, Central Heat, Oven, Flat Cooktop, Large Refrigerator, 4K HD TV, Blue Ray player, “Old School” audiophile quality stereo system, fully equipped kitchen, weber gas grill, office space with large desk work area, wireless internet, plug in computer screen, printer, cable TV, and comfortable beds with flat screen TVs in each bedroom. We offer high quality king size and queen size beds. Optional inflatable twin bed offers flexibility to accommodate up to 5 people.

Enjoy A Colorado Retreat on YOUR TERMS... There are a lot of housing choices available to you. There are not many that offer the kind of living EXPERIENCE that our modern West Denver - Arvada home delivers.

Vacations are precious and good ones are priceless. If you are on business or mixing both business and pleasure, you are likely going to spend a good deal of your hard earned money to enjoy time with family and/or friends. For me, there is nothing worse than saving your way to fun but not enjoying the experience. We have tried to make our West Denver - Arvada home a great value for our guests looking for a more distinctive and selective kind of visit!

Our home is not cheap...but it is not expensive either. We offer our guests a higher end living experience and accommodation at a good value. You can visit, play, work and live in a great community! What our Denver West Adventure home offers is the optimal blend of quiet, safe and comfortable retreat, with great proximity to all of the activities that is sure to keep you busy and entertained for months on end if you try to tackle them all! We maintain our home as a primary residence, offering our guest a true feeling of home and convenience to live, work and play by. Mi Casa Es Su Casa!!

Ski one day and go to the museum the next! Go hiking in the mountains one day and attend a baseball game at Coors Field the next! Attend a highly acclaimed Rock Concert at renowned Red Rocks Amphitheater one night and a Broadway Play or a Ballet the next! See the Avalanche Hockey team one evening and the Denver Broncos play Sunday afternoon! Have fun downtown Denver when you want to, but when you’re done with the crowds, take the short ride back to the house and relax to historic town dining or kick back at our home and grill out!

With the exception of skiing at one of our beautiful resorts which are only 1 hour away, or some of our more hidden mountain gem trails for off-roading or hiking, there are literally several hundred fun activities within a 15 – 20 mile radius!

The home is ideal for families and for executive style accommodations where your visit for fun and business may need to blend.

Give us a call! We would love to meet you. We have been living in the Denver metro area for 30 years and know all the “ins and outs”. If we can’t answer your call, leave us your phone number and we will call and introduce ourselves to share all the activities you can experience and the many aspects you will enjoy as a guest in our West Denver Arvada home.

Excellent Condo in Arvada
The property is well kept, has nice furnishings, is well stocked and is a short walk to restaurants in Old Town Arvada. Communication with the owner is prompt and instructions for accessing the condo are excellent. The phone follow up from Ben to make sure all is well was much appreciated. We loved the gas fireplace and the Christmas touches as we were there over the Christmas holiday.

Super Comfortable
This is a rare gem of a VRBO. Ben is incredible as a host. The location is great you can walk to Old Towne Arvada & the restaurants are great. Beds are super comfy & I loved all the hooks & places to hang towels in bathrooms (not all VRBOs are well-equipped). Directions are perfect & they have really thought of everything. I highly recommend this VRBO!

About the host

Hosted by Ben Budraitis

Host profile image
I am just like you...I work hard and try to do the right things that help make the slice of the world I live in a better place to be. I am a small business owner in the information technology and medical care services industries.

I grew up on the east coast, went to college in the midwest and found my way to Colorado in 1986. Joannie is a native of San Diego. We both have grown children. I have two sons and Joannie has two daughters. Because San Diego is home for Joannie and her family is more extensive in Southern California, I share time between San Diego, my second home, and Arvada for business and relaxation.

While Colorado is my primary home, the lines of home have become more blurry having family in both cities. I spend an equal amount of time in San Diego. After all, my wife lives there! But Joannie likes to come back to enjoy the rustic charm of Olde Town and the Rocky Mountain lifestyle.

We get to commute between two great cities! It's great fun...and... when she gets tired of me, she just sends me back to Colorado by myself! The picture is of Joannie and I at Earl's on the 16th Street Mall, downtown Denver.

We also own a vacation home in Breckenridge, Colorado. You can find my vacation mountain home on HomeAway. Property ID is 202168.

Why they chose this property

The Olde Town Charmer is my city style home. I wanted a more urban style home to better fit my lifestyle. It offers the ability to commute to and from Denver International Airport and Downtown Denver, without needing a car.

I travel between San Diego and Denver for business and personal preference. Joannie and I like to have a relaxed and convenient home to enjoy for our frequent visits for business and pleasure. The location of our home offers us the convenience of walking to local dining and various entertainment activities.

In San Diego, we live in the community of La Mesa. La Mesa, CA and Olde Town Arvada, CO could be sister cities for many of the same reasons we note below about our Olde Town Charmer. I guess in my old(er) age, I like and feel comfortable with the similarities of the two communities I choose to live.

When we want to visit the action of Downtown Denver, we can walk to the commuter rail station and not worry about parking or driving. When it is time for me to head back to San Diego, I can walk to the rail station and be dropped off right at Denver International Airport. It offers a convenient city to city escape!

Escaping from San Diego to Denver and vice versa sounds a bit odd of a way of describing my routine. However, what keeps life interesting are the adventures we create along the way. Joannie and I like the idea of escaping from one adventure here and going to our next adventure there! There is so much to do and see. Watching Colorado through Joannie's eyes offers very special moments for me!

Our Olde Town Charmer is a home we want to share with others that want to have a special kind of vacation, visit or "escape". We care about our home being the kind of home that you will enjoy as much as we do when we come home to escape. The Olde Town Charmer is not just a place to stay, it's a place to LIVE! It offers a Mile High City / Rocky Mountain EXPERIENCE in such a safe and charming setting. Simply Wonderful!

What makes this property unique

For me, the unique benefits the Olde Town Charmer offers is that quaint Olde Town feel with a scaled down version of the Big City to the east activities.

It offers a relaxed fit like a well warn pair of high quality jeans. It looks good and it feels good. When I want to pick up the pace, add some big city thrills and /or dress up another notch or two, Denver is only a short 20 minute trip. The commuter rail station is a 5 minute walk away.

If I want to see a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater, I can be parked and walking around in "God's Country" within 20 minutes.

If I want to ski for the day, Winter Park is only 65 miles away. Breckenridge, Keystone and Copper Mountain are about 1 hour and 15 minutes away. Summer time rafting is 35 minutes away.

Fly fishing and gold panning in Golden's Canyon's are 20 minutes away. The Coor's Brewery tour is 20 minutes away. Mountain town gambling fun in Central City and Black Hawk is 40 minutes away.

You can kick back and relax to some Olde Town fun or zip around and participate in many diverse fun activities that are 1 hour or less away.

At the end of your day, it is a comfortable trip back to the Olde Town Charmer for cocktails and a barbeque!

Weeks pass by like days because the stimulation of all that makes Colorado so special abounds all about you. The clock seems to move fast, but the relaxed stimulation of all there is to do in the Mile High City and the Colorado High Country, makes you yearn, day after day, to explore.

So saddle up and get going...The Top 50 List awaits you!
