We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lakewood! The location is excellent for going to Red Rocks as well as easy access to the other attractions that Denver and area have to offer. It’s a very quaint, older home with all the amenities you need. The host, Leailia was fabulous! She thought of everything we needed including items for beach/lake days, extra towels, styrofoam cooler. She had baked fresh cookies, put out fresh flowers for our arrival, provided a variety of coffee, snacks and other kitchen items such as spices, condiments, coffee creamer. This was definitely the best appointed VRBO that we’ve ever stayed at. At the time of booking we were unaware that the host lives in the basement and at first were a little uneasy about it however after meeting Leailia that uneasiness was put to rest. She is a real sweetheart and goes out of her way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible without invading your space. Communication was excellent throughout our stay. I would definitely consider staying here again if we are ever back in the Denver area.

A Complete and Cozy Retreat in Lakewood with Outstanding Hospitality

My stay at this Lakewood home in Denver exceeded all expectations. The property is impeccably maintained, with every detail thoughtfully considered to ensure a comfortable and relaxing experience. From the spacious, fully equipped areas to the small touches of hospitality, everything reflects a dedication to quality. The host is a shining example of excellence: always attentive, warm, and available for any needs or questions. This is not just a house; it’s a temporary home where you feel truly welcomed and cared for. Highly recommended!

Excellent stay

This did not feel like a short term rental stay, the hostess is a gem, we had groceries stocked when we arrived, and the place was SO clean. Never would I have imagined I’d feel comfortable letting my 8 month old roam floors in a strange place, but it felt so clean. The neighborhood is safe and easy to access, the hostess is so readily available and willing to help in any way. She lives onsite in the basement, but unless she told you that, you’d never know. She had toys and books set out for my little one- such a personal touch. Loved this stay, and would definitely recommend.

Amazing Stay!

Leailia is the most gracious host! Her home is lovely and we just felt so comfortable there! It has everything you need for an easy stay! We used it as a home base to explore the area. Denver - we easily jumped on transit to get downtown and not worry about parking, etc. Breckenridge - about an hour drive day trip Red Rocks - just around the corner and got to take in a show Leailia had fun recommendations for activities and restaurants and they were spot on! She even let us borrow stadium seats for our Red Rocks show; total game changer! Can’t say enough great things about our stay and our host. I would encourage anyone to enjoy her gracious hospitality!

Great place to stay

This is an immaculately kept property in a great location - easy access to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, I-70 and other routes to the mountains, and close to Golden and other interesting destinations. But what makes it special is Leailia, who is an exceptional host. She provides amenities you rarely find in other rentals - a fridge stocked with the basics, snacks (kid-friendly, too), a very well-equipped kitchen, toiletries, etc. And she is as nice a person as you'd ever want to meet. She lives downstairs, so she's there if you need her, but otherwise unobtrusive. She made our trip for a family event much easier. Do not hesitate to book this property.

Comfortable well equipped home with a pleasant host

There were 5 of us, my daughter, her husband, and their two young children. The home worked great for us. The bedrooms were reasonably sized and the two bathrooms were in good condition. The house was well cleaned when we arrived and was equipped with everything we needed. There is a pleasant back yard with a deck and patio that we used quite a bit. It had plenty of seating, a gas grill, and a fire pit. There was also a small charcoal grill that we did not use. The host is very pleasant. She gave us a good tour of the house when we arrived and was responsive to our questions (mostly questions related to things she told us about stuff in the house that we forgot). Would definitely stay here again.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The property is in a great location on the west side of Denver with easy access to multiple freeways/highways. The host was there at check-in which was surprising. She was very personable and walked us through the property. At this point we were shown a curtain that separated the kitchen from her section... meaning that it's not actually separate from her living space at all. As all of us staying there were responsible we tried to 'get past it'. But then the host informed us that her adult son was visiting her and would be around the property. That made us more uncomfortable. The house itself was decently clean. Some of the towels were stained but everything else was clean and generally well-kept. What made us really uncomfortable was when we were taking part of our party to the airport at 4 am there was someone standing on the other side of the curtain (we could see their shoes). So if you are looking for a truly private property, look elsewhere.

From the Owner: "Thank you for your feedback and for choosing my home during your visit. I’m glad you enjoyed the location and that the house was comfortable for your group. It was also a pleasure connecting over our shared hometown area and seeing the photos of your crafting that you later sent — I always enjoy those personal touches with guests.For clarity, the basement is a fully separate apartment with a locking door, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The curtain provides privacy by dividing the access to the laundry/garage area, and I’ve been working toward replacing it with a door for added privacy.As for the moment you noticed at 4 a.m., I understand how that may have felt unsettling. It was simply my son returning quietly to the basement after spending time in the garage on his artwork. I can assure future guests that privacy is always respected, and I never enter the guest space unless invited.I encourage anyone considering a stay to also read the many 5-star reviews on the Evolve booking sites."
