Great place
The house was wonderful for myself and my daughter, son and grandchildren. We could walk to see about everything or take a short Uber ride to wherever we want to go . the house accommodated us all we could separate from each other. We enjoyed the outdoor backyard . Would definitely stay there again if you were going to Denver if it was available.

City Park West Stay
Great neighborhood. The access to downtown was perfect. The house itself has some much character and is perfect. Our stay was for a work trip and we comfortably fit 5 adults. Would be perfect for a family vacation as well.

Best ever!
I’ve stayed at many home rentals around the world, but this was one of my most favorite stays! The house is INCREDIBLE! My husband wasn’t able to make the trip and I’m already plotting our return, because this house is a must-see and must-stay! I could just wander the house for days and still not notice every little detail. We noticed something new every day - like the best game of “I spy”.
Holly and Michale are amazingly kind and lightning fast with their communication! The house was spotlessly clean, the outdoor area is awesome! There was so much room for the 5 of us to stay. We really felt like we lived there. Everything was warm and comfortable - it literally had all the amenities you could ever need. We will 100% be back! And parking was a breeze on the street (and free!). We took them up on almost all their recommendations for the neighborhood and we were never disappointed! Thank you Holly and Michael!!

Family gathering for graduation
Grandparents, parents, sibling and an auntie gathered at the Colfax Speakeasy to celebrate our oldest grandson's college graduation. We loved the old house, large enough to hold us, nearness to good food, and easy commute to CUD campus. The back yard deck and bar-b-que were wonderful for a family evening of grilled hamburgers and being together. It was perfect.

Downtown Denver historical gem
Memorable and magical historical home with so much character, a place you'll never forget or experience again (unless you visit and stay here again). Easy parking on street out front, walking distance to key needs (7 eleven, Walgreens liquor store, restaurants, bars, etc), and plenty of space for bachelorette weekend getaway with 7 women. Only 30-45 min to airport and Red Rocks, depending on traffic. Hosts were very flexible, allowing for early check-in and late check-out, which made it very convenient having a variety of arrival/departure times. Such a neat house and city... Fun times, thanks so much for being such great hosts!!!

There were 6 of us gathered from across the country. The house was very interesting with a historical flare that was fun to read about. Everything was clean and very well stocked supplies for cooking at the house. We were close to many many places in walking distance for dining, entertains and night life. We had a great time!
