Perfect dog friendly stay

Lots of places on VRBO claim to be "dog friendly" but rarely do we actually feel welcome on a property with our dog. This rental was so thoughtful - two sets of food/water bowls at different heights for different sized dogs and supplies provided for cleaning up in the backyard. Plus a dog door big enough for our tall mutt! The owner was incredibly responsive without being intrusive at all. The house over-delivered with a fully stocked kitchen (multiple coffee makers, a popcorn popper, an instapot, etc...) and was very comfortable. I would 100% return!

Perfect spot for our travels

We use this adorable house as a homebase while in the Denver area. It was an easy ride to Rocky Mountain State Park, Estes etc and a short ride into Denver for a Rockies game-maybe 15 minutes. We also went to Casa Bonita, which was like another 15 minute drive. This is a great location! There’s a grocery store three minutes away and the house has everything you need to cook including a well stocked coffee machine. There is a beautiful outdoor area with lots of seating. And the inside is decorated so adorably. The house is larger than it seems in the pictures. There’s tons of closet space and the hosts I thought of everything including leaving umbrellas which we needed and were very happy to find one night. There is a park about a block away with a playground and fitness equipment and it’s really nice to take a walk through after dinner. This is really a special place!

About the host

Hosted by Nysa Rayno

Host profile image
I am originally from New Hampshire and moved to Colorado in 1997. I lived in Breckenridge for many years before relocating to the Denver area. Throughout my journey, I have owned several small businesses, including a hot dog cart, a vintage store, an ice cream bike, and a doggy daycare. Currently, I work as a Realtor.

We love sharing our home with families, whether they have kids or pets, and we can accommodate single groups or multiple groups of up to 8 people. Our goal is to make our home cozy and fully equipped with all the essentials you need to feel right at home.

A few years ago, I purchased my home and recently transformed it into a short-term rental for families and their furry friends to enjoy. I understand how challenging it can be to find pet-friendly accommodations while traveling, so I wanted to create a welcoming space for those traveling with pets.

My boyfriend and I love to travel and are passionate about outdoor activities. We appreciate all the amazing experiences Colorado has to offer right in our backyard! We have provided a guest guidebook and QR code for you during your stay to share some of our favorite spots and suggestions for things to do.

We have a detached garage with its own fenced-in yard that we occasionally use. We may be on-site to check you in, or we might be out exploring. If we're in the area and not traveling, you may see us during your stay, either in the driveway or using the shared trash cans outside!

Kick back and make yourself at home!

We hope you enjoy our quaint "I Heart Colorado" home and love it as much as we do.
