We're a family of 3 and this was perfect for us. A great place to base from to visit the Red Rocks, Golden and day trips to the mountains! We love how you can walk to the downtown area of Golden, that was a huge plus!

The Retro Retreat was a great location for us to visit my son at the Colorado School of Mines. It had everything we needed and was close to downtown and the Clear Creek trail.
This was our first time in Colorado and it def didn’t disappoint! Location was perfect. Walkable to shops and restaurants in Golden. It was an easy drive to Vail and Breckenridge to explore those areas. We also went horse back riding in Estes park and hiking in RMNP. And saw an amazing show at red rocks! The rental had everything we needed esp a comfy bed after our days of exploring! The host was super easy to communicate with and we would stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay at this small home. It had a good location and reasonable priced. This home meet our needs while we visited Golden to watch our grandson play baseball at school of the mines.
This place met my top 3 criteria: clean, good bed, and quiet. We did a lot of cycling and the local path ran right next to the house. And the Golden Mill is a very cool place to grab a drink.
The location was great for visiting DT Golden. The area has many shops, restaurants, etc. Most attractions were within walking distance. Communication with the host was great. Some items within the home needed replacements, attention (bedroom ceiling fan, toilet). In all, it was a good stay as the home was clean and had all the necessary amenities.
Good location close to everything. Cozy cute comfy house very well stocked. Kendra was quick to get back to you with any concerns.

The pictures make the space look larger than it is, which is fairly normal. However, first night I got locked out do to the door electronic lock thing running low batteries and refusing to unlock. Had to call the after hours number, they didn't come to fix the batteries until noon the next day. They have a large bug infestation at the moment. I've lived in Colorado for a long time, and even if the weather is weird this year, that is no excuse to having to wake up to bugs crawling on you and finding bugs everywhere. I stayed here because I was getting Married in Golden ans wanted to sleep closer to our venue. Next time I would rather spend the extra money on a hotel bug free. I have so many pictures of the bugs here.
The Retro Retreat is an adorable 50’s retreat and so close to downtown Golden. The Golden Mill was super close. A very short walk. I loved the 50’s decor, especially the prints in the bathroom, the toaster, the refrigerator, and the lava lamp. All so fun! Kendra was so easy to contact and the door was super easy to open and also secure. The bed was very comfy and we slept well in our cozy abode.
This location is great and the price is right. We enjoyed the retro vibe. A booklet of instructions for tv, stove, ac, etc would be helpful.Patio was a delight but the weeds did detract.
