A beautiful, historic home that is great lodging for large groups. We stayed here comfortably with 10 adults and two kids. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of bathrooms. The house is gorgeous and impressed our history-buffs and handy-folks alike.
I know some reviews commented on responsiveness from the owner, cleanliness, or the back yard, but I wanted to reassure potential renters that NONE of these things were issues we had during our week long stay. Jonathan was responsive to the few small issues that came up. The back yard now has turf and is enclosed so it was perfect for the kids. House was clean when we arrived.
The house provided all the of the toilet paper, hand soap, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, trash bags, and laundry detergent that we needed for the week (very generous!), and there were plenty of sheets and towels. The house does not have an open floor plan (it’s gorgeous and historic!), so there isn’t one large space for everyone to sit and chat, but between the living room, sitting room, front porch and back porch we found ways to make the space work.
In terms of location, the neighborhood was ok- we could walk up to Sloan’s Lake and there were some cute restaurants and bars there. It’s a quick drive to Golden or Red Rocks. Quick to downtown too. I wished it was a bit closer to more coffee shops or nicer restaurants… seems that the neighborhood is in transition a bit (we always felt safe, but we are city folks). The house is a block or two off of a major road that is not pleasant to walk on (4 lanes, high speeds, loud, lots of trash) but we never had issues with noise (in fact we were all really impressed at how little we heard at night). It was a bummer that the big park at Sloan Lake was under construction, but could be fun for future renters.
Overall we were very happy with our stay and would recommend it to families or groups looking to house everyone comfortably. Thanks for a great stay!
