The business traveler can quickly access DTC in only 7 minutes or downtown in 30 minutes.
Make this your home away from home while enjoying the beautiful decor of faux finished walls and deep rich colors.

Is there a song in your heart? Well you can tickle the ivories on a beautiful grand piano, tuned, equipped with music and ready for yours and others enjoyment.
The kitchen is equipped for the gourmet, supplied with seasonings, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, along with a start of coffee, snacks and drinks. You may view the waterfall and pond from the kitchen window which makes cooking a breeze. And when your scrumptious meal is complete just place everything in our new dishwasher and set it to the pots scrubber cycle. You are free to play. After all, you are on vacation, you should not be cleaning pots and pans.
If there are children in your party there are plenty of toys, even for the young at heart. Yard toys, games, activities, balls, children's movies to name a few. There is a high chair, pack and play, non-folding stroller (it's a car, the little ones love it) and a leap from activity table. There is lots to keep them busy.
Of course you’ll want to share your experiences with your friends and family so bring your laptop and enjoy the convenience of high speed Wi-Fi from any room. The sun room with its' view of the water feature will no doubt be the place you spend most of your time.
Come relax to the sound of birds, crickets and water. Don’t wait, this home books fast.
Warming my paws by the fire place
VRBO Bear stayed here - 12/11/2009
The name “Garden Paradise” says it all when describing this lovely 4 bedroom, 3 bath home just outside Denver. This home features a large sun room, a finished basement with large screen TV and workout equipment, as well as a private hot tub in the garden area. The home was not only beautifully decorated with antiques and original works of art, but was also decked out for the upcoming holiday season with plenty of garland and twinkle lights.
Cooking any meal was possible in the fully-equipped and stocked kitchen. The kitchen flowed directly into a living space which allowed the conversation to continue, even while cooking. The home was very light and airy thanks to the many skylights that provided natural light. A large sunroom looked out over the back yard and garden areas. Although my trip was in December and the garden was covered with snow, one could imagine springtime with the garden in bloom. The gardens were a peaceful and quiet place to relax and enjoy nature’s beauty.
The home was in close proximity to local grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. It was only forty five minutes from the Denver airport and thirty minutes from downtown Denver’s attractions and nightlife.
This home fits any type of vacationer. It is close enough to enjoy the big city while at the same time far enough away to offer a retreat from the hustle and bustle of life.

Garden Paradise for Relaxation While You Work or Play
Year Purchased: 1986
Why the Owner Chose Littleton
Bob and Marnie love the Littleton area because it is close to the city but still has a hometown feel. In less than 30 minutes one can be in the activity of Denver or relaxing by a mountain stream among the sweet smell of the pine trees. Garden Paradise is nestled in a established neighborhood where children are free to run and play and folks are just friendly. The home offers privacy but if there is a need the neighbors are there to help and have with past guests.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Garden Paradise can be enjoyed from every angle both inside the home and out. There are six places outside where you can sit and enjoy the surroundings. See if you can find them all when you come to visit; hint: there is one hidden under the trees on the west yard. You will see how quite this location is as it backs to a greenbelt and there is nice spacing between the homes. If you want to cook your kitchen is fully equipped, if eating out is your idea of a vacation you will have lists at your disposal for things of interest in the immediate area and in Denver. you will find this a home you will want to return to again and include your friends. Bob and Marnie love this yard so much they used it for their wedding in 2008. Why don't you come by and see how lovely your trip can be when you stay at a Garden Paradise.
Our new mall with Whole Foods and high end stores. Just drive west on our street and you will be there in 2 minutes.

South Suburban Parks & Recreation,6631 S University Blvd. Come walk in the beautiful nature of the Highline Canal or visit the rec. center and work out in the weight room or swim or take a class.

Quaint little shops and restaurants. A small town in a busy metropolis.
Don't leave until you have purchased those special gifts for the ones back home. Eat, shop or just enjoy the view of the mountains from this delightful mall. take County line road east and it will be

Our second visit back to Garden Paradise. Again a joy to be there. It has the perfect location to many adventures in the area. The binder of activities in the home gives you lots of information to help you enjoy wonderful field trips. After a great day out it was wonderful to come back to the beautiful patio and spacious yard. The sun room and toys were perfect for entertaining grandchildren. We used the BBQ almost every night. We appreciated and used the herb garden during our stay. Our family holds many great memories and it was very nice to get to meet Marnie on this trip. I think it is always extra special to get to meet the owner of the home you are staying in. The home is very spacious and lots of nice areas for family to relax. Down the street a beautiful shopping area featuring Whole Foods. Also parks are very close and beautifully maintained. Our family stayed for a month and we all agreed there was still so much more to experience!! Can hardly wait to go back!
Owner response:It was so nice to meet Cindy and her family at last. This was their second visit and I was able to meet the whole clan, it makes it seem like I am renting my home to friends rather than guests whose names move across my computer. I love to see grandchildren enjoying the home like mine do.

Great location - near to Denver, attractions, mountains etc. Great neighbourhood. New mall - Streets at South Glenn was an added bonus - cinema and restaurants really close by. House had lots of space, comfy beds, lovely backyard. It was nice to have such a peaceful place to come back to after our hectic days out. Marnie is a great owner to deal with - she was very helpful and attentive.
Owner response:It is always a joy when I get to meet our guests, especially those who have traveled across the sea. I am glad you had time to enjoy the area close to the house, it is a nice uncrowded friendly community. We love it here and miss it when we are in Tucson.

This was our second time staying at Garden Paradise, and just like our first visit, it was terrific. It was like coming home because of all the amenities and features that you have provided. We had a great time having our children and grand children coming over and spending time outside relaxing on the patio, enjoying the hot tub, and barbequing. I would, and have, recommended your home any time I'm asked if I know a good place to stay when in Colorado. Thanks again for a great time. Frank and Lee

My husband, little one, and I stayed in this home for 9 wonderful nights recently and cannot say enough good things about the owner, the home, and the location! We found the home to be wonderfully decorated, clean, spacious, welcoming, and comfortable. If you have a little one, there are fun toys in the lovely sun room! If you do not have a little one with you, you will enjoy the home just the same. We honestly felt right at home. The owner was perfectly professional, gracious, and considerate to us. It was a fabulous experience, and we would stay there again in a heartbeat if back in the area!!!!! A++++

This home is great. It is beautifully decorated and very roomy. There were 7 of us staying in the home and we had plenty of sleeping areas. I stayed most of my time out in the screened porch area with the beautiful back yard landscaping and watching my daughter who loved to swing on the swing and hammock. The kitchen was well equipped and the large dining table made meals exquisite. I would rent this home again. It was very clean and the towels, toilet paper, and other necessary items were plentiful. There were even games for entertainment.
Owner response:When the weather permits the first place I head is to the hammock under the tree. I love it when families enjoy our home like we do. As the sun goes down I too like to sit in the sun room and enjoy the view of the yard and pond.

From the moment we arrived at Garden Paradise until we departed our experience was outstanding. The accommodations were everything that was described and more. The emphasis on using all the features of your home made us fell like royality. Our group of eight varied in ages from 4 to 84 and this home met all our needs. From the comfortable furniture and bedding to the toys for TJ, this home offered it all. The location was great too, with of plenty of walking/biking trails and its proximity to the beautiful mountain parks North and South of Denver. I highly recommend this properity, well done!
Owner response:Thank you Dan for your kind words. I love to hear there are little ones enjoying the toys, My grandchildren know where the toys are and they make a bee line to the sun room as soon as they come in. I am able to frequent my homes regularly so it give me time to enjoy it and keep it in shape for others. Please come see us again.

We loved our stay in the Garden Paradise house. The house is beautifully decorated and very clean, and as soon as we walked in the front door, I got immediate compliments for finding this house and renting it. The back yard is beautiful and very relaxing with a hammock, hot tub, and gazebo! We recommend it to anyone.

This house more than met my expectations. I was not disappointed by what I had seen from visiting the web site. We had 4 families staying in the house, from different parts of the country, gathered together for our son's wedding. There was enough room in the bedrooms for pack n plays, one of which was provided. It was so nice to have space to relax and enjoy being together. Other family members stayed in nearby hotels and were still able to spend time with us at the house. We had 3 children, 4 and under, who enjoyed playing with the toys that were there (loved the little kitchen) and in the backyard. The backyard was one of our favorite places to sit and visit and play with the children. The hot tub was also a definite plus for adult relaxation. It was a great benefit to have a well-laid out house, clean, and well furnished (with top of the line appliances) to be able to cook breakfast and any other meals. People may want to know that the TV is downstairs in the basement--You know, we did not even miss it for the week and I enjoyed the fellowship and fun as an alternative. The owner kept in contact with me up until our stay and was quick in returning the deposit. She also provided a list of things to do in the area which was helpful. Any problems we may have had (which were very minor) were responded to quickly and efficiently. I can't say enough good things about this rental--I would certainly stay there again and highly recommend it to anyone--especially families. We had such a memorable time together, in addition to the beautiful occasion of a wedding celebration. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home.

Property Description: 4BR/3BA Garden Paradise for Relaxation While You W Comment Date: 01/22/2010 Comment Text: My husband and I, along with our adult son, daughter, and her husband came to Colorado to spend our Christmas with relatives who are fortunate enough to live here. We initially chose Garden Paradise on Home Away because of its available bedrooms and baths. This property exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable - the spacious layout of the house, the details of its decorating and furnishings, its convenient proximity to area attractions and shopping, its lovely, quiet neighborhood, and its wonderful owner who so graciously took care of all our needs. We will definitely plan on a summer stay to be able to experience the garden and grounds. I highly recommend this property to all discerning guests who use Home Away. Ruthann, Ypsilanti, Michigan

We stayed at Garden Paradise while we were visiting my husbands 3 children. The house was wonderful with all the comforts and amenities of our own home. The outdoor area was a great place for us to barbecue and be together. We usually scramble to find something to do while visiting the kids, but no one wanted to leave the house! We will definately stay there again.
