About the host
Hosted by Lee & Jackie Schissler

We are thrilled to be Denverites and enjoy the stunning four seasons in the Rockies. We've lived and worked in NYC, San Diego, Houston, and Scottsdale through the years, and landed in the Denver Neighborhood that the Denver Post declared as Colorado's best neighborhood in 2019!
We have 6 children and 10 grandchildren. Enjoy hiking and travel. Fond of a nice red wine and good conversation with friends both new and old.

Why they chose this property
While we are less than a mile from I-25, the Holly Hills neighborhood is a quiet and safe haven off the beaten path. We host many business travelers and those attending meetings at the Denver Convention Center who prefer to take the RTD Light Rail downtown. We are located between 2 rail station (Yale and Southmoor) each only a mile from our home.
Those who drive appreciate that their own private driveway off of the street. You can drive right up to the porch and enter the Blue Bear Den close to your car.
Jackie has a 'thing' about comfortable beds. All three bedrooms have luxurious pillow top beds that our guests comment on and thoroughly enjoy.
Every bedroom and the den all have individual electric fireplaces for a cozy feel in the Winter and a warm up during the Summer when the AC is nice and cool.
You have a full size fridge with icemaker, full size microwave, and oversized toaster oven big enough to handle a pizza. A Keurig Coffee machine is set up above the dishwasher. A pantry holds dishes and cooking utensils for times when you want to stay in and cook on your own.
A nice umbrella covered patio with table and furniture is just outside the entrance to The Blue Bear Den.

What makes this property unique
We are located within walking distance of the High Line Canal, a unique 71 mile hiking and biking trail that snakes through The Denver Metro area. We are fond of a nice 4 mile round trip walk from the Blue Bear Den that takes you into Eisenhower Park, a gorgeous green space with a beautiful garden, swimming pool, and plenty of picnic spots.
