Super cute and spacious home, fenced yard for my furry traveling campanions. Beds large and very comfortable, nice outside patio, comfortable furnishings, and stocked kitchen if you would want to cook. Location is perfect for dining, grocery stores and local attractions.

Comfortable house/good location

We all enjoyed this house. We stayed for almost 2 weeks and this comfortable, welcoming house easily became our "home." You can't beat the location for access to downtown Golden and Highways 6 and 93. We would certainly stay there again.

Highly Recommended

I have stayed in a lot of VRBO's, and Jessica is one of the most responsive and helpful hosts I have experienced. The property is very cute and is walking distance to downtown Golden. The fenced-in backyard is a huge plus with dogs and it was reasonably priced. Thus, it is "highly recommended". We enjoyed our stay.

Great Location, Quaint Home

We had a nice stay in Golden and this home is as listed. It is an older home and some of the amenities are dated. If you are looking for comfort and quaint, this is it. We hope to return when the weather is warmer and enjoy the outdoor space.

Quaint and clean

We loved this house! The rooms were spacious and clean. The kitchen was stocked. The host was a great communicator. The house is older, with lots of charming details. It's very nicely decorated and very comfortable. We had such a great time. We were close to downtown Golden and got to experience the shops, restaurants, and Riverwalk. We also got to stay in, cook, eat together and play games. It was a little chilly to sit outside, but we did enjoy the views from the windows.

Nice house, great location

My son and I spent three nights at the house during a ski trip. The place was very comfortable and located close to town. One could easily walk downtown from the home.I really liked the kitchen. It is rare to see cast iron cookware in a rental, but we fried some steaks on it and they came out tasty.The beds were comfortable and the communication with the host was seemless. I would stay there again.
