Quite possibly the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in

Between easy check in & out, rapid responses to messages, and the best stocked kitchen I've seen in a while, this property is a 10/10. The beds were cozy, the couch fit our entire group, the hot tub was perfect, and the location was ideal to the activities we had planned. Nine adults fit comfortably and we will be booking again for our next Red Rocks adventure!

Wonderful Vacation

Great location and we enjoyed being there for a week. Check in great and cooperation wonderful with owner was prompt and accommodating. A few suggestions—AC distribution needs balanced, Queen mattress on main floor needs upgraded and Dryer doesn’t dry towels. The room under steps was unable to be used due to odor.

Great location and house layout!

The house was perfect for four couples! The owner let us drop our bags off early so we could enjoy the day without carrying our luggage around so that was super helpful! House was very clean and had everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone!!!

Great house with plenty of space for everyone! Had 9 ppl including 2 grand kid aged 2 & 4. Backyard was perfect for them to play when we were at the house. Excellent location with easy access to the zoo, aquarium and water park. Lots of nice parks in the area too. Quiet neighborhood and all the amenities you would expect!

Perfect spot to stay at while in the Denver area

This house was perfect for a gathering of friends. The enormous sofa in the cozy living room was comfy for hours of catching up and games. We enjoyed several meals around the large dining table and the outdoor table. The split level layout worked great for separation and privacy at night. Of course the hot tub was awesome. The host was very friendly and responsive and we enjoyed the hosts recommendations for outings and meals. Most importantly for me, the house was spotless! Nothing left to be desired!
