The Space:
Located less than 15 minutes from Red Rocks and under an hour to Loveland Ski Area.

You’re also welcome to walk around to the back and use the grills on the lower level. The basement unit is rented to other guests, so please be respectful of their space when passing through—but feel free to say hello and make friends with your fellow travelers. Please note: it is up to guests to refill the propane if needed.
Upstairs, you’ll find the queen master bedroom connected to a full bathroom with Jack-and-Jill sinks, a shower, and a tub—shared between both bedrooms. The second guest room has a twin bed with a pull-out trundle. (Note: the listing states there is a bunk bed in the second guest room, but it is technically a twin trundle bed which can sleep two guests.)
A laundry unit is conveniently located in the hallway closet upstairs.
This home is 100% electric with solar panels and was designed to LEED certification standards, so you can enjoy a lighter carbon footprint during your stay. The backyard is landscaped with native wildflowers and clover to reduce water use.

Please note that there are a few additional rooms and spaces that are locked and not accessible during your stay. There is proper signage notating what spaces not to use so there should be no confusion.
The Neighborhood:
One of Golden’s most alluring features is its proximity to attractions such as Red Rocks Park & Amphitheater, Golden Gate Canyon State Park, the Colorado School of Mines, adventures like Lookout Mountain, Lariat Loop, great hiking and climbing, and exploration in the Rockies. Explore Downtown Golden which is only about 15 minutes away. You’ll find an abundance of coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, unique boutiques, and history lessons. A few of the many popular attractions you can reach nearby: Colorado School of Mines: 14 minutes Coors Brewery Tour: 15 minutes Parfet Park: 15 minutes Clear Creek Trails: 15 minutes Golden History Museum: 15 minutes North Table Mountain Trailhead: 15 minutes Red Rocks Amphitheater: 11 minutes Golden Gate Canyon State Park: 35 minutes Boulder: 38 Minutes Downtown Denver: 15 minutes Coors Field and Ball Arena: 16 minutes City Park, Denver Zoo: 23 minutes DIA: 35 minutes Rocky Mountain National Park: 1 hr 24 minutes Check out the welcome book for more of our favorite local suggestions, including hikes, dining, and attractions you don't want to miss! Looking to recharge in the mountains? Hop onto I-70 to experience breathtaking hikes and views within an hour. One of Colorado's main draws is Rocky Mountain National Park, which makes for a great day trip. Drive a little over an hour through a dramatic canyon for a day of hiking, sightseeing, and wildlife viewing. Depending on your destination, skiing is 1-3 hours away. Locals head to Echo Mountain, Eldora (near Boulder), or Loveland (near Georgetown) for a more low-key experience. We're also one hour from Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, Winter Park, and Copper Mountain. This location is the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the best of Golden and surrounding towns, the Rockies, and even Denver if you’re craving the hustle and bustle of the big city!
Getting Around:
The Rocky Mountains are to the West, and Denver is South of where you will be staying. I-70 West will take you into the mountains and straight to the ski areas, while you can hop on I-25 to access Fort Collins to the North and Colorado Springs to the South. The 36 takes you to Boulder and eventually the Rocky Mountain National Park gateway towns of Lyons and Estes Park. Downtown Golden is a highly walkable city. In addition to nearby Clear Creek Trails, Washington Avenue and the historic 12th Street neighborhood are great locations to stroll. A car is recommended if you will be exploring the mountains. For those without a car, we recommend utilizing Uber or Lyft to reach further destinations in and around Golden. Get exploring!
