We rented this place for a weekend ski trip! It's about an hour and a half drive to the mountains. We enjoyed driving there in the morning and then hanging out in Denver at night. I could imagine cooking meals in the kitchen if we wanted to save some money as well. This is a duplex, but we were not bothered by anyone. As mentioned in the description, the futon is very firm, so please be aware before booking. This is a great option for a cheap get-a-way to the mountains!
