About the host
Hosted by Christopher Tarantino
I’m a retired firefighter with a passion for travel, coffee, and craft brews. Hosting has been a way to share my love for Denver with guests, and I’m dedicated to creating memorable stays that help you experience the best of Colorado. From my years of experience, I know the importance of comfort and hospitality, and I’ve designed each of my spaces to reflect those values. I hope your stay at Denver Emerald helps you love Colorado as much as I do!
Why they chose this property
Evergreen’s immediate neighborhood has the real mountain-town feel: tall pines, winding roads, and scattered homes that feel tucked into the forest rather than on a grid, with a relaxed, friend-to-friend vibe rather than a busy suburban scene. Locals here are a mix of outdoor lovers, long-time residents, families and retirees who head down to Evergreen Lake or into the woods for hikes and wildlife sightings on most days; you’ll often see deer or even elk grazing nearby and neighbors chatting at the coffee shop or lake trailhead. The community is known for being safe, quiet, and tightly knit, with low crime and people who treat this as more of a refuge than a quick weekend stop, so it’s normal to wave at folks walking dogs or heading out for a morning trail run. There’s a distinct sense of small-town charm here — friendly faces, outdoor activity at every turn, and a genuine appreciation for living in the Colorado mountains.
