We had a great stay at the Cottage in downtown Denver. It is conveniently located within walking distance of the capital and downtown activities. There is a funky bar right across the street with good food and cocktails. This old home has been renovated with a very top-end kitchen, washer/dryer, nice linens, very comfortable beds, and a nice outdoor space (for spring & summer). Parking was in the alley behind the house.

Denver

We were on a cross country trip and stop to stay a few nights to visit our son. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax between activities. We enjoyed being in a historic home in Denver. Response time was very quick. Would stay again!

Visit with teenagers

We booked this stay for a trip with my niece and nephew. It was a great location to the museums, downtown and the botanical garden. We walked everywhere. The house is comfortable, especially the beds, and very clean. We did not cook but had quick access to a variety of restaurants. The communication with the owner was great. I highly recommend.

A wonderful stay

My two sisters and I stayed in this wonderful cottage for four nights. I would definitely recommend it anyone looking for a convenient place in downtown. It was very clean and comfortable. All of my communications with Christine were very pleasant, she responded quickly whenever I wrote to her. All in all, a very pleasant experience!

Cap Hill Cottage

This is a great property, a historical home that has been lovingly updated while keeping the original charm of its past. Beds were so comfy-great linens-and the showers had tons of hot water. Perfect location for walking to everywhere we wanted to be. Communication with owner was fantastic-Christine is just the best!

Charming house in great area!

We just stayed for 2 nights, but this house was so cute! It's in a great area, close walk to the botanical gardens, art museum, and downtown Denver. Christine answered all my questions promptly and gave great recommendations for things to do. The whole house was spotless, the beds were comfy, and the backyard was a nice space to sit and read. Would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect

We loved the cottage. Everything went as smoothly as we had hoped, including check in, amenities and communication with the host. It is within walking distance of shops, restaurants and places of interest. But, after a long day it was wonderful to Come “home” and relax and enjoy the cottage. We all got good night sleeps because the beds were so comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

LOVELY

The house is LOVELY. It is meticulously kept, very clean and very comfortable. Even though it was close to the city, it was quiet and easy to sleep at night. About 3 blocks away is the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to. City O' City. Highly recommend this VRBO.

The Place to stay!

Lovely home, incredibly clean and functional. Great location and sweet yards to hang out in. The host is superb and is quick to respond to any questions. The only thing that could be improved is the dryer. Couldn’t get it to dry our unexpected load of laundry.

Christine has been a wonderful host. The property is as described. It's a nice neighborhood - very quiet. Beds and linens are comfy. Kitchen is well appointed. We loved our stay. We had dinner and drinks at Bar Nun across the way. A fun (unique) place. Thanks Christine - we'll contact you the next time we're in Denver and need a place to stay :)

Wonderful historic home close to Cherry Creek

We needed a home close to Cherry Creek for my wife, adult son and his girlfriend for a long weekend visiting family. This home was wonderful. Cozy with refurbished kitchen and bedrooms. Master bath was a bit small with only a small stall shower, but it was not a detriment to enjoying staying there. Wonderful roomy outdoor space w/ grill. Upstairs 2 bedrooms with a full shared bath were comfortable. Kitchen was fully equipped, though fridge did not have an ice or water dispenser. Coffee was thankfully provided! Central location walking distance to restaurants, bars & coffee shops was great. Will definitely stay again.

Comfortable

This is a charming and historic property with lots of character. It was very spacious for two adult couples and a toddler. Everything was clean, the kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfy. The host was easy to communicate with and accommodating. We were in town for a wedding and the master bath was tricky to get ready in due to a lack of counter space, inadequate lighting and a low mirror. There was also no full length mirror. These issues were just particular to our situation and had we not needed to dress up, they wouldn’t have concerned us.
