Great house, easy access to I-70, quiet neighborhood.

This is a beautiful house that has been well taken care of. Access to I-70 is nearly immediate but far enough away to provide nighttime quiet. The property owner lives next door and is quick to respond. He worked with a small issue we had with the doggie door and it was handled within 15 minutes.The beds were super comfortable. You can sink into the couch. Full House access.

Great location and communication

This is our second time staying at this property and highly recommend it. Tom is great communicating and made the process easy. The house was perfect for visiting our daughter while at Mines. It’s minutes from everything in Golden and just a few blocks from trails for some easy in town hikes.

Interesting stay

I travel for work for a living and I’ve used VRBO plenty of times. I’ve never been asked when my ETA is or when I’d be entering the home. I was working the day we got there and got three messages about letting the host know my ETA and when I’d be in the house. I wasn’t able to provide an accurate time as I was working. So I let them know once I was there. The odd thing was is they knocked on my door about 10 minutes after my arrival. It kind of felt invasive and lack of privacy. I find out that he lives right next door and will need to be in the garage the next day. Overall it was just odd. I book vrbo so we don’t get bothered or have the host show up unannounced. But he was kind and the property was great it just felt odd.

Great layout and perfect location for us.

The house was in a perfect location for what we needed. The layout of the house was terrific. The kitchen could stand to be stocked a little better, especially with silverware and dinnerware. Plenty of cookware, even had a crockpot, which came in handy. We had a lot of game nights and the dining table was perfect! We also were able to park in the garage, so that was a big plus!

Wonderfully Spacious & Well Equipped Home

This is a beautiful and spacious home, with a nice sized fenced back yard - great for me, my husband and our dogs. It would easily & comfortably accommodate more people, and everyone would still have space for privacy & to relax. The kitchen and linen closets were well stocked. We had every comfort. And it was just minutes from Colorado School of Mines, which was our main reason for visiting the area. Tom was the perfect host.

We are repeat guests

This is our second visit. We are from NH and have adult daughters in Colorado. The house has comfortable beds, nice bathrooms and kitchen. A fenced in back yard for dogs. A large driveway for 3-4 cars plus a garage if you choose to park inside. Close to the highway and grocery and other shopping.

Golden stay

Spacious! Every room was large. Main area was open, with cathedral ceilings. Well-appointed kitchen. Very nice sectional in living room. Might want to consider adding a couple of side chairs or recliners. Being able to park in the garage was a bonus. Tom responded quickly at check-in and check-out, and there were no problems during our stay.

Bright, spacious, safe, close to restaurants and stores, close to hiking trails

My husband, myself and my granddaughter (age 7) stayed at this property to celebrate Thanksgiving with my son and fiance. The house was bright, spacious, warm, and clean. We had everything we needed to make a wonderful Thanksgiving; the kitchen is well-stocked, even a slow cooker, which came in very handy. Tom was easy to communicate with and obliged an early check-in and late check-out. There are grocery stores and restaurants in close proximity to the property and a lovely hiking trail right around the corner. Tom also permitted my son to bring his dog. Overall, a great stay and we would stay again!

A bit of a miss

Overall ok enough. Location was where we wanted mostly, the house is bare bones effort on decor, if I had to describe it, goodwill sheek.. Tge house reeked of cat urine upon entering and lasted.. come to find out, the washing machine was completely disgusting with animal hair, human hair, crusty grime- and the urine smell was also coming from it. The toilet paper holders were at the floor in every bathroom. Zero throw pillows, most of the mattresses were worthless and need replacement. Sheets miss matched, towels need replacement and are musty. The shower curtains, stained.. the floor boards need a complete overhaul. Kitchen lacks decent pans and such. Plenty of silverware. Front and back doors no such privacy, open large windows on each with no curtain to provide privacy. No curtains at all in home. Dust/hair balls everywhere. I ended up cleaning out the washer so it could be usable. I also had to clean out the disgusting bathroom sink drains, too clogged up with hair and chunks of idk what. Bed pillows and blankets were old and not in good shape. Tv and stereo covered in thick dust. The owner had messaged about meeting before and after our stay which we all found very odd, he also messaged about the garage door being open during our stay, it appeared to have a little glitch and opened (or was opened ) while we were out. This could be a great place if it was clean and updated a bit. Overall I wouldn’t stay again unless it’s overhauled
