We had 14 people coming from all over the country for a weekend trip to Denver. We knew we wanted a large house, close to all the best downtown activities. This house was perfect for us. Xavier and Mary have worked hard to make each room private and comfortable, with large common areas and a beautiful courtyard (hard to find in the city!). When we asked about the pizza oven, Xavier apologized that it had been damaged and would not be available, but then offered to prepare an amazing BBQ dinner for our group when we arrived the first day. It was delicious and just what we needed after a long day of traveling.
The owners do live in the house, but they make that clear and stay out of the way. We rarely saw them and felt at home during our stay.
The location is perfect, and we took Uber rides into town for most activities. Parking across the street was also easily accessible.
If you are looking for a large place for family or friends to visit Denver, the Starkey Mansion is perfect!
