We were really glad we stayed at Tama's place. The location was great, in a nice and safe neighborhood, and less than ten local minutes from Cherry Creek (great restaurants and nice to stroll plus has a Whole Foods) and just close enough to downtown. And there was easy access to great places a day trip away. Some favorites that we would recommend include hiking in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs (check out the siamese twins), horseback riding and hiking outside Estes Park in Rocky Mountain National Park (do the Moraine Park ride out of Jackson Stables), lunch or dinner at the rooftop restaurant F&B in Boulder, and definitely see a concert (or two) at Red Rocks. We would definitely return and stay at Tama's again. Tama is very nice so make sure you meet her and her two wonderful dogs.
