Great little place!

We're a family of 3 and this was perfect for us. A great place to base from to visit the Red Rocks, Golden and day trips to the mountains! We love how you can walk to the downtown area of Golden, that was a huge plus!

Super cozy spot!!!!

The beautiful lil gem near downtown Golden was a steal!!! Walking distance to all kinds of shopping and dining. Directly on a walking/Biking trail. The house lives up to its name! It is small but very intimate. All of the old house sounds and feels are there. Hearing the floors creaking brought back oldMemories from childhood. The mini retro Nintendo was the best part for me!!! My wife was in love with the styling of the house. The owner was super attentive and checked on us to make sure everything was good!!! Looking forward to staying again.

Clean retro cottage with great location

This property was very clean and as described in the listing. It has one window air conditioner in the dining room area. Ceiling fans in the bedroom, living room, and dining area help to distribute the cooler air. This is in a great location walking distance from to downtown Golden.

Great location & house, could use some cleaning

Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The location is great, and the accommodations were fine for a solo traveler. Kendra was quick enough to respond to issues. I preface this by saying that I live in an 150 year old house, and work in the outdoors, however I was a bit disappointed by the amount of bugs inside. Beyond the 20-30

Definitely Retro in a good way. Not on the river , but close enough.

If you are looking for a 50’s - 60’s middle class experience, this is the place. I grew up during those years. There are enough elements from that time period to make it Retro… If you go with the experience it’s a fun place.My only complaints. I had difficulty identifying the lock box (there are two entry doors. When I found the correct door. It was difficult to open all the. Way. Not a deal breaker at all. Kinda fit the profile. I grew up in a house that was less desirable than this example.

Perfect Stay

My 9 year old and I had a wonderful stay for 6 days. The location was fantastic. We could walk so many places. The house was the perfect size. The bed was so comfortable, we relaxed easily in the living room and did a little cooking in the kitchen. The retro theme was fun, too.

Cozy, comfortable, and affordable property in a great location.

The property is promoted as "retro", which is accurate. Perhaps rustic and in need of updating/renovation would also be accurate. Even so, my wife and I found the place to be very comfortable and clean. Perhaps its greatest selling point is its location -a short walk to the center of Golden. If you want/are accustomed to LUX, this is not the place for you. However, the price to value ratio is as good as you can find!

Loved the retro house!

The retro house is beautiful and so very cozy. They thought of everything. The house has so much history, I would love to know. The location is perfect, walked into town every night. Loved Woody's. Trails right out the door and easy access to different sights to see. Red Rock was amazing! Thank you for a glorious stay.

First trip to CO

The best thing about the property is its location. We were walking distance from all the restaurants and shops in Golden. Would be a great place for 2 people. There were 4 in our party and we were pretty tight. In all fairness, I had planned for two when I booked the property. I most likely would not book this property again as I prefer more modern amenities.

Super cute!

What a great place!! So much character and charm in this sweet little home. Bed was comfy and water was perfectly hot. Kitchen nicely equipped. I was in town to meet my new granddaughter so when I wasn’t with her I had a wonderfully relaxing stay curled up on the couch watching the huge TV with the little electric fireplace. If I had been feeling adventurous and not so lazy there was plenty to do close by. Host was great with communication as well! Hope to visit again! Loved this place!!

Retro Visit!

I only give a four because when we were there, it was warmer weather and it took quite sometime to cool the house down. The windows do not open. It is small and the bed is against the wall so if one has to get up in the night….well….that can be a little interesting!! We did not cook there because so close to downtown and the many restaurants. Don’t let the outside deter you! Btw…neighbor is nice too!

Cute and cozy

Kendra was a great host. She was quick to answer and address any questions or concerns we had through our stay. The home is an older house that is in a perfect location for downtown Golden and is steps away from tubing/creek access. It's on the small side so I wouldn't recommend any more than 2 guests at a time. It was clean and well kept but be warned since it is an older home we found a few creepy crawlies along door ways/cracks. Just give your shoes a good shake before wearing them.

Tiny, but cute and quiet

The location of the retro house made it a great choice for exploring downtown Golden. It was within walking distance if needed or a couple-minute drive. I also appreciated how quiet the neighborhood was. It's on the east side of Golden, which I wasn't familiar with and I was impressed by the lack of noise over there. That being said, it's an older house and it comes with the quirks older buildings have: short door frames, a few drafty areas around the door, which also let bugs in, and some unexpected noises from the plumbing. My husband found himself bonking his head during the night when making trips to the kitchen and bathroom. Kendra was a delight to deal with. She was very communicative about expectations, helpful hints about the house, and how to access the property to park. For the price, I don't think you can beat this property. Having full use of a kitchen, dining room, and separate living and bedroom areas made it far superior to a hotel at the same price point.
