How was my experience at the Inspiration Point guest house? In a word, sublime, as in “an experience of such excellence, grandeur or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe”.
I travelled to Denver to undergo a minor medical procedure at the local VA hospital so I was keen to have absolute privacy, security and comfort as I prepared for that procedure. The Inspiration Point guest house readily met all of my needs. Like a work of art that you live in, this generously-sized studio has clearly been built out of love and many purposeful acts of thoughtful generosity. (Like the shaving mirror mounted on one of those accordion hinges—perfect!)
Durable yet charming, every feature of their studio has been scrupulously maintained and had been thoroughly cleaned prior to my arrival. A sense of abundance and ease pervades this place and before I even met them I felt grateful to my hosts for opening this part of their family home to strangers. For those concerned about COVID-19 exposure, its pertinent to note that no part of this dwelling is attached to any other occupied spaces. Complete isolation is easily achieved if need be. The baseboard electric heaters were quiet and kept the place cozy even on cold winter nights. Copious modern windows on 3 of the walls filled the space with natural light throughout the day. The dedicated off-street parking space and the quiet, mature neighborhood surrounding the place made for a peace of mind seldom found in urban settings. I slept soundly night after night (and sometimes throughout the day!) without a single outside disturbance all week—despite the easy access to the highway. I prepared many healthy meals in the modern, fully-equipped kitchen. I enjoyed a couple of walks in the nearby Inspiration Point city park. The procedure went well and I was preparing for a solitary New Year’s celebration when I remembered that my hosts had written in their listing that they liked to meet their guests whenever possible. So I messaged them. To my delight, they were naturally friendly and vivacious, truly curious about my endeavors and I dare say, lovely to behold!
I closed out the year ensconced in and buoyed up by the sublime hospitality of Suzana and Anjelique! Brava mi amigas! Buon capodanno!
