This property couldn’t have been more perfect for our family gathering of 8 adults and 3 littles. Centrally located in Denver- 20 to 30 minutes distance to all of our adventures! The house was clean, beautifully upgraded, and lots of fun touches. Our host thought of everything to make a family escape special. And she was absolutely so nice and super easy to communicate with. We all loved it all!

About the host
Hosted by Michele
I'm from South Carolina but have spent most of my adult life out west, so I guess you could say I'm a mountain girl with southern manners.
Hosting is the perfect intersection of two great loves: this incredible part of the country, and bringing people together.
There is something truly special about knowing that our home is the backdrop where a family reconnects, where old friends pick up right where they left off, or where a new memory gets made that people will talk about for years. That never gets old for me.
It is genuinely an honor to play even a small role in those moments — and that's what keeps us pouring so much care into every detail of your stay.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood sits in a quiet residential pocket that feels like a true retreat — but don't let the peace and quiet fool you. You're just minutes from everything Colorado is famous for.
Red Rocks Amphitheatre, world-class hiking, major sports stadiums, great restaurants, and shopping are all within easy reach, making this the ideal home base for any itinerary.
And just 5 minutes away, you'll find one of the area's best-kept secrets: Olde Town Arvada — a charming, walkable arts district with local shops, restaurants, breweries, and a small-town character that surprises most visitors in the best way.
It's the kind of neighborhood where you can sit on the patio with your morning coffee in total quiet, then be at a trailhead or concert venue before the hour is up.
What makes this property unique
We've designed a space with a fun but luxe vibe, centered around our signature Colorado Gem Theme — complete with a treasure hunt to kick off the adventure.
From the moment you arrive, there's something for everyone.
Outside, gather around the spacious fire pit with s'more supplies ready to go, soak in the hot tub, or let the kids and pets (and adults) roam freely in the fully fenced yard. Inside, you'll find multiple large TV areas, a game room with foosball, darts, board games, and old-school Nintendo — plus enough bedrooms and bathrooms that everyone gets their own space to recharge, while still having plenty of room to come together.
The fully stocked kitchen is ready for your culinary creations and those long, lingering meals that are the heart of every great trip.
We specialize in family reunions, friend getaways, and group trips — and we've built this home with exactly those moments in mind.
Unlike many listings managed by corporate rental companies, this is our only short-term rental. It's our small family business, and we pour real pride and personal care into every stay. We're not just hosts — we genuinely want you to have the trip of a lifetime.
