Downtown Golden
My family and I had a very enjoyable stay at the property. That was definitely a very nice backyard where we sat and enjoyed ourselves. Later we walked downtown and enjoyed the area. The house is very clean, just exactly what we needed. A great location for us to get to Lake Louise. I highly recommend this VRBO.

It had everything we needed, great appliances, was clean, decorated nicely, and easy check-in and out process. Simple communication with the host. Close to restaurants and a grocery store. Highly recommend!

Why they chose this property

The moment I saw this property I fell in love because I could just see it's future potential. Being one of the only houses in the new up-and-coming part of downtown Golden, and with it's own private front entrance, I just knew people would adore staying here. With the help of a local custom home builder in town (DogTooth) and a few other amazing independent contractors, we all lovingly restored this home to the fresh and new state it is in today. I truly loved this renovation project that I personally spent 7 days a week, 12-16 hours per day for just about 8 weeks restoring.
