Historic Mount Vernon House. Red Rocks Amphitheater. Ski Slopes, Golden, Colorado
Greetings and thank you for looking into the Historic, Mount Vernon House. As the name shows this home is comfortably nestled in Colorado’s Mount Vernon Canyon, 20 minutes from downtown Denver and 45 minutes from Denver international Airport. The property can be available for events such as weddings or reunions, please inquire!!
Location:
The Home is surrounded by a Jefferson County Open Space Park known as Mathews/Winters Park. So, there are many hiking trails within an extremely short walk, and many more within a short drive. You can walk to a local brewery and restaurant. Five minutes to Colorado Mills Mall. Thunder Valley motocross track is 2 miles away. The Home is 2 miles away from Red Rocks Amphitheatre, which there is a direct hiking trail. It is also about 2.5 miles from Bandimere Speedway, a NHRA dragstrip. The home is 45 minutes drive away from Loveland ski area, so if you are going skiing and are familiar with the area, you are close to many ski areas! It is very close to Golden which has many niche shopping areas and of course Coors Brewery. On the other end is the quite little town of Morrison which has many unique opportunities for restaurants and shopping. With all above mentioned you have a total secluded feel and still have many amenities nearby. The perfect access to major highways, means at times , in the summer, you may hear the low rumble of some traffic.
House:
The home is on the National Historic Register, which makes it a real treat to stay in. It was built in 1860. It is built from local quarried stones. So yes, it is old, it but has many modern upgrades such as indoor plumbing, electricity, TVs, internet, appliances and a/c heat. It still retains much of the old feel, like slopping floors, steep stairway, wood floors and two feet thick walls. The walls make the house cool in the winter, but not freezing, just bring a sweater and slippers. The home does have AC, but , and doesn’t need it, once the sunsets a delightful cool breeze always comes down the valley and cools everything down. That makes a perfect night for BBQing and being by the fire pits. We also have the Mount Vernon Creek running directly in the front yard. There is a totally private deck on the back of the home, perfect for sunbathing or yoga. The yard is green grass with plenty of flower beds around. There is also plenty of wildlife around, depending on the season, mule deer are around all year, elk can be seen in the fall and spring and on occasion bobcats, rattlesnakes, wild turkeys, mountain lions, bears, skunks, foxes, Red tail hawks and coyotes. So be prepared for nature if the mood is right! Do not think this is a modern exclusive villa. Its a fun old, rustic house.
Accommodations:
The house can sleep 10 comfortably. 3 main bedrooms and one room that can sleep kids or adults. All the bedrooms are upstairs as they were in the old days. Upstairs there are 2 bathrooms. One, in the master bedroom has a shower, toilet and newer heavy-duty washer/dryer, the other is in the hallway between the bedrooms, it has a toilet and a sink.
The Main level has a large living room, a large fold out couch is comfortable for sleeping. A large office type or gaming area, there is an air mattress, a bathroom with a bath tub and a kitchen. The kitchen has granite counters, a dishwasher and a table to sit 5, plus a trash compactor, a 5 burner gas stove top, a microwave and a convection oven.
PLEASE NOTE : The home is old and so is the plumbing ! If you and I don't want a mess PLEASE do not flush feminine products ! PLEASE ALSO, no grease or oil in the drains ! Also any larger food stuff should go in the trash and small food from rinsing dishes is fine for the disposal. No one wants extra plumbing charges.
PLEASE NOTE: there is a low noise limit at 9PM we can still converse but my neighbors are older and they have requested 9PM. It seems to echo over to their house. This home is so outstanding , it’s only reserved for special people!

Beautifully situated with a cozy feeling. The beds are very comfortable and there were enough utensils/supplies in the kitchen. The only suggestion would be to fix up the downstairs shower as it was not welcoming to use.
Great Location!! We really enjoyed the quaintness of the property and location. Wi-fi was great, as well as all of the other amenities. Would love to stay there again!!
We had a great stay ! My husband and I live in Florida and have 3 daughters who live in Denver , this house was an awesome meeting place for all of us for Christmas!
This place is great. Close to hiking, Golden, Red Rocks. Check it out.
Central location for our group activities. Great time.
My daughter was married at Boettcher mansion and this home was ideal for our family. The host allowed us to have our rehearsal dinner at the home and everyone simply loved the grounds and home. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Denver area or mountains. Great location, beautiful home!
Came to watch concert at Red Rocks. Great location, very cool history with this place and has a wonderful outdoor area. Will stay again next time for sure. Great communication also.
.
attended nieces wedding reception at Origin Hotel. Supper convenient. Enjoyed the house with our family. Saw 2 Rattlesnakes mating in front yard! What an experience.
The house is set in a beautiful scenic area with a cold stream in the back yard! Has everything you could possibly need. There were 8 adults and there is plenty of room inside and out.
Very clean and well supplied We had all that was needed
Historic house and lovely grounds. Adjacent to nice park and hikes and can walk to good food and brewery.
Came out for a wedding as well as a vacation. It was centrally located for all of the activities that we chose to do. There was plenty of room for all of us to do what we wanted to do while at the house.
Close proximity to Red Rocks was a plus.
We loved the house, the location is perfect because there is everything nearby and at the same time away from the noise and traffic of the city... the house is adorable, it has everything you need and very comfortable
We stayed at the Vermont house and our stay was over the top enjoyable. We chose the location for its closeness to Lookout Mountain, where our wedding was. We had plenty of space for our immediate family and guests for the rehearsal dinner. It's well maintained and has awesome antiques and flowers and views. Great amount of privacy outside and easy access parking. Definitely book this place for a special occasion or simply a few nights for a quiet getaway with amazing views and fresh mountain air.
We loved the property and the owner was responsive and took great care of us. The home is vintage 1860. Beautiful property and wonderful location.
Wonderful house for 10 of us (ages 3-68) for a few days before our family wedding! Beautiful outdoor space!
Loved the historical building. The house was centrally located to the wedding, rehearsal, entertainment, shopping, and restaurants. Loved the easy access to hiking and biking trails. The property is secluded yet easy to access anything you might want.
This was a perfect setting for a group of friends visiting to watch shows at Red Rocks. The house is located within a large park and connected to the concert venue by a series of easy hiking trails. Walking home under the stars was the highlight of our trip.
College reunion for our 40th birthdays (9 people total). Quiet location that is right on hiking paths and very easy to get to local Golden hotspots. Streamlined check-in and checkout for this historical house that allows you to relax. Dennis was very accessible and we highly recommend this property!
We weren’t certain we had the correct address when we saw the gate and private property signs. After passing the gate we then saw the property as listed. It was interesting to stay in such a historical place. All the rooms were nice. The old wooden floors added to the charm of the house. Thanks for renting it.
Great historic house, near hiking/ biking trails! Awesome dogs on the property, Rosie & Kona!!
Great location
This is a beautiful home and property. We had a lovely stay with our large group. The proximity to trail heads and Red Rocks was what we came for and we’re not disappointed. Thank you for being gracious hosts!!
We had a great time staying here. The owner was super accommodating and went and bought a French press and grinder for us! The owners dogs are friendly and add to the experience. The property is a convenient location if seeing a concert at red rocks. All in all we would definitely come back!
We just returned from three nights at this property and it was fantastic. The location was superb for exploring Golden and Morrison, and for a concert at Red Rocks you absolutely can't beat the location (we went from driveway to parking lot in about 7 minutes). The nearby park has some beautiful trails, too, and not too strenuous . This was a great destination for our group of six friends/family. Thanks Dennis!
Very good rental
Great place to stay. We would stay here again!
