About this property

You'll love staying in The Pinery, because of the safe, relaxing location and comfortable, clean accommodations. With so many nice reviews, you will be assured of a great stay.

There are resident cats and two very sweet dogs, so if that's a problem for you, or you have allergies, please find another place to stay. I am dog friendly for well-behaved, non-aggressive, and quiet dogs and cats. You may NOT leave your dogs in the apartment while you are gone, as I have had issues with dogs barking for hours on end when left alone.

If you're looking to book for an extended stay, bear in mind that the apartment does NOT have a full kitchen.. If you require a full kitchen please do NOT book this location.

Very Comfortable Rental!

Carol is the best host and is very accommodating. The yard is large and beautiful, my dogs loved exploring in it. The basement apartment is updated and was just perfect for us!

Highly recommend

I had such a great stay at Carols place. Her house is in a beautiful neighborhood, and the space is clean and private. Everything that I could have needed was provided, making it easy to feel at home. It was lovely getting to know Carol as well, she is an amazing and kind host. This will be my first choice when I come back!

Chose this location because of proximity to old friends and bike trails. Missed having a full kitchen. Had a couple of hospital visits that disrupted my time here.

Home away during floors being refinished

We were having our floors refinished but didnt want to stay thru the noise, dust and not able to get to the kitchen and bathrooms so we looked into options. We found Carol's place and saw that it was pet friendly. We asked carol how she felt about 4 cats and there was no hesitation she accepted! We loved the homey feel, the quiteness and all of the wildlife around. It was a great stay.

Colleen and Jim, and their cats, were lovely guests. They left the apartment in great shape. I'd be happy to host them again next time they have to move out of their house temporarily.

The rental is as described. Not a private entrance but once you are in the basement unit, you have your privacy.

Clean and Comfortable

We have family in Parker, and needed a place to spend 17 nights with a pet. For us, the location was central and convenient, but it is a ways from downtown Parker and certainly from Denver itself. From the wording in the listing, we had the impression that there may be direct access to the outside through "a lower level walk-out." , but this is definitely not the case. It is a basement with emergency egress windows into a tunnel-like space with a metal ladder. You get some diffuse light during the day, but you cannot see outside. Access to the apartment is not ideal. You must go via a gate into the backyard, then through the garage and into the house to access stairs down to the apartment. You will be greeted by the owners animals every time coming and going. Do not expect to sleep in past 6:45 or 7:00 AM as you will hear the owner and her pets directly over your bedroom. Note, the property photos have not been updated in a while, some of the items shown have changed.

Great place, friendly host

We were out of our apartment due to flooding and this was the perfect place to stay. The rooms were clean and she was very welcoming. Beautiful location with wildlife present.We did feel a lack of privacy at times and noticed she would come down to the basement when we were gone. It wasn’t a big deal just occurred multiple times. Also if you do not like animals there are dogs and cats present that you will encounter daily.

Thanks for your note Morgan. I do recall letting you know if I needed to get into my storage room prior to entering the space. This is a private home, so sometimes this happens. You just happened to catch me on a week I needed to get in there a number of times. My ad also makes it clear that there are resident animals, but glad you enjoyed your stay overall.

Too much money for the space

The house was very nice and the Pinery is alway beautiful. Very convenient to the non-vacation rental friendly elbert county, but the space is listed as a basement apartment but in no way could someone truly live in the space. For the money spent I would’ve been better off renting a hotel or motel room.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Dec, 2020
Wow. Thanks for nothing. VRBO does NOT allow to list this any other way than an apartment. It was exactly as described you ingrate. Perhaps you should take that up with VRBO rather than dinging me. And, you shouldn't travel for the holidays if you don't want to pay higher prices.

Pet friendly

This was a great property and well located to the major routes. Carol was helpful in providing local intel. I was in town to review potential retirement communities, so location was key. I did bring my pet's kennel, however she was more content to spend the entire day outside while I was with my real estate agent. I was very happy that she is an animal person. Highly recomend this host.
