The Space:

Welcome to our Arvada Retreat! 🏡✨

Excellent stay for a relaxing time

This property was exactly as described and was in an excellent location for our short trip. Everything was well stocked, clean, and more than adequate to meet our needs. Communication was excellent and any questions we had were answered immediately. Being so close to the old town area made it really easy to grab some late night meals with friendly service. We also took time to enjoy the jacuzzi and blow up screen given the beautiful weather. We’ll definitely keep this location on our short list for returns.

We stayed here while hiking through Colorado. This was our first stay & our favorite out of our 9 days in Colorado & 4 stays. The hosts were prompt at getting us the check in information, with questions & even provided complimentary snacks for our stay. 10/10 would recommend & would stay here again.

This property was great for our girls trip. 4 of us stayed, it was everyone’s first time in Colorado. The house was perfect. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all kinds of helpful things like coffee, and plastic baggies. The back yard was so cozy for relaxing early morning and in the evenings. Old town Arvada was very cute and a quick walk from the house.

Beautiful home in a nice area

Loved our stay at this extremely clean, updated home. The backyard and hot tub are awesome, too. It was nice to be able to walk to local restaurants and shops, and at the same time the neighborhood was quiet and felt safe during our visit. We also hiked at Rocky Mountain National Park and saw Garden of the Gods, which were each about a 90-minute drive from the house. Would stay here again!

Cozy home in lively neighborhood

We had a group of six friends stay for a weekend full of board games and exploring downtown Arvada, and had a great time! Julie & Alex were very accommodating and quick to respond to all our questions. The amenities - hot tub, fenced yard for a pet, available laundry - all made this a very comfortable stay. A five-minute walk to the Arvada coffeeshops, restaurants, parks, and Denver Beer Co. capped off a phenomenal weekend. Would gladly recommend this location!
