Guest review: “We had a great stay at Kat’s place. It’s beautifully decorated, packed with interesting art, very comfortable and nicely located. Several breweries and restaurants are within walking distance if you don’t mind a little exercise. The advantage of being a little off the beaten path is the quiet. We experienced no street noise or nighttime disturbance and had no trouble parking. Would be happy to stay here again.”

Guest review: “You can’t beat this place in terms of location and amenities. Close to everything you might want to do on a Rocky Mountain vacation, yet completely secluded – tucked into a quiet, private valley bordering national forest. The house appears built to accommodate and entertain a large crowd – we had 10 people in the house for a week, cooked every meal in, and it still felt like everyone had plenty of privacy. Views are spectacular from any/all of the various patios/decks (not to mention the floor to ceiling windows in the great room). Sal was exceptionally accommodating and always available. Highly recommend–great location, great house, great value, great host!”
3) The Oldshop Carriage House
Location: Barths
Price: $162 avg. per night
Sleeps: 6 (2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms)
Due to its clever renovation, this well-located listing is my pick for Denver’s best unique vacation rental! While placed on the host’s property, this former garage has been totally remodeled as a modern vacation rental and is completely private from the surrounding houses. You’ll be less than 5 miles from downtown Denver, the city’s best museums, the Pepsi Center or Mile High Stadium, and even closer to any number of breweries, parks, restaurants, and nightlife options. Even better, you can be in the mountains in minutes by car. The most most unique part of the home itself is certainly the garage door “window,” which you can roll back to open up the entire front side of the rental and combine your living room with the patio area. The home comfortable fits 6 people, and also features a secluded backyard area with hammocks to help you get into the swing of a relaxing vacation.

Guest review: “My wife and I were looking for somewhere we could go for absolute privacy to get away from the world, relax with no distractions, and gather our strength for major surgery and an extended hospital stay later this year. Castle Cliff Estate was the perfect location. This is a large, modern country home surrounded by beautiful scenery with breathtaking views out of every window. The estate is very quiet, restful, and isolated – the nearest house is a quarter mile away. The photos along with the listing are accurate and, if anything, don’t do the house justice. It goes without saying that the house is magnificent” – Hugh

Guest review: “This is my all time favorite stay on Airbnb. A farm girl at heart, I was thrilled at finding a farm in the city. Loved the chickens, the goats and the family dog. The hosts Liz and Chris we’re extremely friendly. The trolley house is unique labor of love. The ambiance is incredible and as an antique dealer I really appreciated the authenticity of the trolley cars. My only problem is that this gem will most likely be rented when I attempt to book a stay again. Ten stars!!!!!” – Judy
