Amazing for our wedding!

We stayed here for our wedding with our whole bridal party! It was perfect! More than enough space for everyone & it was so cute! All the girls got ready in the kitchen and living room and the boys got the basement and the garage! Location was so centralized and not far from the venue for rehearsal and day of! I can’t say it enough, but it was perfect! It was so easy to get in touch with the owners as well, they were quick to respond and so friendly! Would highly recommend!

Very Nice easy stay

Easily a 5 star place to stay. Great communication, easy to work with, and Mary and Mike are great hosts. The house is perfectly located for easy access to most areas, but also located in a quieter area. The house is perfect for children, teens and Adults. We utilized every part of the house, from the game room to the outside firepit sitting area. Everything you need is there, and a lot of extras as well. They made our Sad trip very relaxing and enjoyable. This will always be our go to place in Denver.

Lovely property and excellent owners

I had to come to Lakewood, CO unexpectedly due to my daughter having a very serious accident. Mary and Mike knew I was anxious to get to the hospital but needed to leave my dog in a safe place while I was away. They let me check in early on arrival day to accommodate me, which was much appreciated. By the end of my stay, they felt more like friends than Hosts. The house is lovely…great kitchen and dining room. A huge TV graces the living room. There are bedrooms on the first snd second floors and another whole unit in the basement…so well suited for a larger family. The back yard is fully fenced so it’s safe to leave your dog loose as you enjoy the outdoor setting. The kitchen is well stocked and there is a lovely coffee station. But most importantly, the hosts provided prompt and compassionate communication throughout my stay. Highly recommend this property.

Comfortable and quiet

Loved this place. We were there for work but coming home to a comfortable place that was on a main road with no noise was relaxing. Had to contact the owners twice for dumb reasons and they were super at response time. I would rent again if I’m in the area.
