Great Golden location

This place met my top 3 criteria: clean, good bed, and quiet. We did a lot of cycling and the local path ran right next to the house. And the Golden Mill is a very cool place to grab a drink.

Super cozy spot!!!!

The beautiful lil gem near downtown Golden was a steal!!! Walking distance to all kinds of shopping and dining. Directly on a walking/Biking trail. The house lives up to its name! It is small but very intimate. All of the old house sounds and feels are there. Hearing the floors creaking brought back oldMemories from childhood. The mini retro Nintendo was the best part for me!!! My wife was in love with the styling of the house. The owner was super attentive and checked on us to make sure everything was good!!! Looking forward to staying again.

Definitely Retro in a good way. Not on the river , but close enough.

If you are looking for a 50’s - 60’s middle class experience, this is the place. I grew up during those years. There are enough elements from that time period to make it Retro… If you go with the experience it’s a fun place.My only complaints. I had difficulty identifying the lock box (there are two entry doors. When I found the correct door. It was difficult to open all the. Way. Not a deal breaker at all. Kinda fit the profile. I grew up in a house that was less desirable than this example.

Great location & house, could use some cleaning

Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The location is great, and the accommodations were fine for a solo traveler. Kendra was quick enough to respond to issues. I preface this by saying that I live in an 150 year old house, and work in the outdoors, however I was a bit disappointed by the amount of bugs inside. Beyond the 20-30

Tiny, but cute and quiet

The location of the retro house made it a great choice for exploring downtown Golden. It was within walking distance if needed or a couple-minute drive. I also appreciated how quiet the neighborhood was. It's on the east side of Golden, which I wasn't familiar with and I was impressed by the lack of noise over there. That being said, it's an older house and it comes with the quirks older buildings have: short door frames, a few drafty areas around the door, which also let bugs in, and some unexpected noises from the plumbing. My husband found himself bonking his head during the night when making trips to the kitchen and bathroom. Kendra was a delight to deal with. She was very communicative about expectations, helpful hints about the house, and how to access the property to park. For the price, I don't think you can beat this property. Having full use of a kitchen, dining room, and separate living and bedroom areas made it far superior to a hotel at the same price point.

Cozy, comfortable, and affordable property in a great location.

The property is promoted as "retro", which is accurate. Perhaps rustic and in need of updating/renovation would also be accurate. Even so, my wife and I found the place to be very comfortable and clean. Perhaps its greatest selling point is its location -a short walk to the center of Golden. If you want/are accustomed to LUX, this is not the place for you. However, the price to value ratio is as good as you can find!
