    We loved this place, perfect for the two of us and plenty of outdoor space to invite others for lunch on the back patio or lounging on the front porch. The houes is really close to a lot of eating and drinking spots in old town arvada. No complaints -- everything went great!

    Had a lovely stay at this clean and comfortable house. Over 90 degrees outside during the day, but their cooling system kept it very cool at night for sleeping. Owner was easy to contact and provided everything we needed for a fantastic stay. Will definitely come back again.

    Highly recommended for living like a local in Old Towne Arvada. Numerous restaurants, coffee shops, bars parks within easy walking distance. Close enough to I-70 to make Red Rocks, Golden, etc an easy drive. Maybe a quarter mile walk to the light rail to access downtown or airport. Hosts were incredibly kind. Great recommendations on places to visit.

    This is our 3rd time visiting Denver to see our daughter. I wish we had found this listing the first time. This is hands down the best place we have ever stayed. From the location, to the yard, to the house…we enjoyed every part of this home. Pat is a very thoughtful host. She put several handy items in place to help us with our stay. We were very grateful. 1000% would recommend!!

    The house is historic, clean and immediately accessible on foot to the original township of Arvada. Even with steady snow in April, I was able to walk a few blocks to meet up with cousins for a meal. I loved the bed and slept like a baby. Full kitchen and great yard set up for hanging out and grilling in finer weather. One side of the house is adjacent to a parking lot, but given the size of the house, this was easily blocked by blinds while still enjoying the rest of the property.Since I had a family connection to the immediate area going back over a century, Pat and her husband really went above and beyond their normal role as VRBO hosts. Yes, Pat was responsive and friendly, but beyond that, I'm grateful for her real skills as an informal ambassador for the old town of Arvada. As a frequent traveller, this property was easily like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

    What a beautiful historic home. Well cared for, nicely decorated and comfortable. We stayed during Christmas and Pat was kind enough to decorate for the holiday. Only a two block walk to downtown Olde Arvada, great restaurants, shops and amazing bakery.
