We had a great stay at the Cottage in downtown Denver. It is conveniently located within walking distance of the capital and downtown activities. There is a funky bar right across the street with good food and cocktails. This old home has been renovated with a very top-end kitchen, washer/dryer, nice linens, very comfortable beds, and a nice outdoor space (for spring & summer). Parking was in the alley behind the house.

We had the best time here. The house was perfect with plenty of place to kick back and visit, both inside and out. It is in walking distance to some great sites and even better eats and sips. We highly recommend Carboy for lunch and delicious wine.

Work trip

Everything about this place is as described. Not a far walk from anything you need if you don't mind a little walk. We stayed for a conference for a few days that was at the convention center and walked to and from daily. Overall a great stay with everything you need in the house.

Visit with teenagers

We booked this stay for a trip with my niece and nephew. It was a great location to the museums, downtown and the botanical garden. We walked everywhere. The house is comfortable, especially the beds, and very clean. We did not cook but had quick access to a variety of restaurants. The communication with the owner was great. I highly recommend.
