Second time staying here - will be back

We had stayed here a few years ago and had a good experience so when we were coming back to Denver, we quickly agreed that we wanted to stay here again. Thankfully the dates were available. Once again, it was a wonderful stay. Centrally located, ample parking for our rental, quick-to-reply host, etc. We travel a lot and this is definitely one of our top VRBO stays.

Great Private Studio

The Art Studio was just as advertised and very clean. The bed slept great. It was nice to have our own private space to hangout outside by the fire pit or sit on the porch swing. Check in/out was a breeze. Will definitely consider booking again the next time we’re in the area.

The studio is adorable, equipped everything, and the location is awesome. The backyard is beautiful, and is perfect if you are traveling with your pup. The bed was very comfortable. There is plenty of parking and the street is quiet. We were there for nine days and enjoyed our stay very much. We already planning to book it again soon.

A Dream

This property was the perfect place, and I have nothing negative to say about it. Perfect cozy space inside, and a backyard of our dreams that was the best chilling spot. Tonia came over to show us how to use the gas fire pit and asked me through the app if we needed anything at all. Wonderful host, and I would definitely stay here again (longer next time!!)

This is an amazing space in a lovely, historic location.

This is truly an urban oasis. Once you walk beyond the gate into the big backyard where the studio is located you almost forget you are in a city. Great space. Very comfortable. My favorite spot was to sit under the gazebo each evening with a drink and my little pup. Looking forward to my next stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tonia Zambrano

Host profile image
I am a sculptor, painter, and photographer. I write and pretend to be a good cook. I love to travel and try new things I've never done before.

Why they chose this property

This precious Victorian (main house) was built in 1880. It is a family home, bought in the 1970s. Potter Highlands was one of the original cities in old Denver back in the mid-1800s and was developed by Irish, Italian, and Scottish immigrants who moved here during the gold and silver rush. There's some amazing history in this very quaint neighborhood. It's a magical property, and it's located in a great city. There's so much to do in Denver and it's right at your fingertips from this central location.

What makes this property unique

As an artist, I have added artistic accents throughout the property, from the gated entry to the backyard oasis to the copper gutters with custom-made rain chains. I designed and built the additions, pergolas, custom millwork, fences, gates, etc. Everyone who comes here says they feel at home. I hope you will too.
