Location of property was convenient to the attractions we visited. Home was in a nice neighborhood and was well stocked with dishes, silverware, etc. Owner met us and was very friendly and responsive on way to check in. Decor is unique but interesting. We found the place rather dusty but with all the artificial flowers and decor, itâs hard to keep these things dust free. There is plenty of comfortable seating and views out windows and deck were great. We overlooked the fact when booking that there was no central air (our fault) and temperatures reached 100 while there. There are standing A/C units in bedrooms that helped but bathrooms were pretty warm. We were gone most of the time and were asked to shut off A/Câs when we left each day. There were light bulbs missing in bathrooms making it dark for putting on makeup and shower head was missing from downstairs shower. In spite of these things, our stay was very enjoyable.
We rented this house to find out that the owners lived in the basement. Not a duplex or two family, but a HOUSE that the basement door had a lock and we could only get in and out by the front door. It was very uncomfortable. Plus, it was odd that the owners had to be there to check us in, called us several times needing to know when we were going to be at the house and then called us the next day to check in and see how it was going. Again, made us very uncomfortable almost like they were inquiring when we would be back.
Also, the place was absolutely filthy. When we wiped down the kitchen counters, the paper towel was black. We attempted to wipe down the light outlets but the dirt was so thick it was impossible to remove. Hair all over the carpet and stains in the toilet bowls.
Plus, the worst part was that the beds had indents which made it impossible to sleep as we rolled to the middle. When we let the owners know they needed a new cleaning service, she mentioned she cleaned it first before the cleaners arrived which made us believe that they did not have a cleaning service.
We made the best of it but this is the first time that we have been uncomfortable and disappointed when using Vrbo. How could a house have such great reviews when there were so many red flags including owners in the basement, filthy environment plus beds that were so old you couldn't sleep.
This definitely makes us question using VRBO in the future.
Beautiful home and gracious hosts. Perfect location if you are visiting redrocks.
First time using vrbo and it was a great experience. I even accidentally booked the wrong arrival date by one day and host had no issue with resolving it for me. Beautiful home with a beautiful view. Perfect for visiting for redrocks venues. The drive back from redrocks is away from traffic. 15minute drive!
Overall, our stay was very good. The accommodations were nice, and the beds were comfortable. The property managers were very nice and helpful. My only concerns included: the noise from the interstate was very noticeable, no place to have an outdoor firepit, you cannot use the fireplace within the house.
House is large and more than adequate for 6 people. Kitchen is well stocked and utensils and silverware for an army. Also large variety of spices is nice. While not an issue for us you can hear traffic on I 70. Access to laundry so pack accordingly. Conventional to West Denver, Golden,Evergreen, Georgetown and Silver Plume to take in local culture.
property has a great location for the red rocks venue, about 10 minute drive, very close to hwy 70,. so easy access, but road noise as a result. overall great property in a great location
We had such and amazing experience at this house so beautiful and serene. The owners are so humble and gave us a lot of information on where to go and what to eat around the area. My friends I went to a concert at the red rocks amphitheater and the owners provided us with chairs and blankets to watch the concert comfortably and man were they life savers on our backs! Lol I definitely will be coming back here in the future and highly recommend this place to everyone!
Beautiful location up in the mountains in a very spacious home.
The check-in process was way too extra for us. The owner called multiple times wanting the exact time weâd be arriving. Iâve never experienced this kind of hassle when checking into a VRBO; my friends said the same. We shouldâve been given the entry code prior to arrival & left to arrive whenever we want, without a sitter. One of the ladies in our party said, âI left my mother at home. Weâre adults!â With that said, they were very friendly & welcoming when we arrived. They wanted to give us a tour, which we also didnât care for, but ok⊠They requested we not do our laundry past a certain time because they can hear it downstairs. For $1,100 I think we can do laundry when we return from dinner, if we choose. Thatâs right⊠Not only do they live on the property (which it states in the description), but they live IN the house. We knew they lived on the property, but mistakingly assumed it was a separate dwelling on the property. We also didnât have full access to the driveway, which made it difficult to maneuver our suburban in & out. I think if the owners donât allow their guests to use the garage, they should move their vehicles into it. When I asked the owner to please move his vehicle so we could turn our suburban around a little easier, he said, âItâs my wifeâs car. I donât have the keys.â She was in the house! The driveway is a very tight fit & guests are not allowed to park on the street.
Although our stay was pleasant, I doubt weâd stay again.
We were in Colorado to attend a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater. We chose this property for the size of the home and proximity to the venue. The manager was friendly and informative. The house was as advertised. Any issues we had were dealt with promptly.
The property was centrally located and within 10 miles of all of our activities and sites that we wanted to do and see. The house has beautiful views and was spacious. The owners were very welcoming and friendly.
This property is in a lovely neighborhood with awesome views and plenty of wildlife. Surprisingly convenient but definitely not in town. Just off 70 minutes from Golden. They have everything we needed. Plenty of nice pots and pans, dishes and glassware. Never looked for anything that wasnât there. The place was very clean and I certainly care about cleanliness. Also, a Myriad of cleaning products were available. This was an easy place to just show up to and start making dinner. Very easy learning curve staying here. My favorite was using the grill on the deck and watching the sunsets.
The owners are very friendly and we never saw them after check in. Very welcoming folks who really wanted us to have a nice stay.
Iâve rented at least 20 places in the area and this was certainly the best option Iâve ever seen in the area. We plan to be back!
Perhaps this home is okay for some, but never again for me! The house is in a very nice neighborhood, but very close to interstate 70, so there's heavy traffic noise, and it also ruins the views. The driveway is a real challenge, as it is steep, curved, and narrow, with a jagged rock wall on one side. Also, parking was very tight, as the owners parked 2 vehicles outside of the 3-car garage (we didn't have access to any of the garage spaces!). They emphasized "NO PARKING ON THE STREET!" Also, the owners LIVE IN THE BASEMENT, and monitor everyone coming and going with cameras in the driveway, and above the front door. I was sent a text message from the owner the second day, when 4 of my family members came to the house for lunch, saying I paid for only 6 people, and that means daytime and night time! No consideration when I replied they were there just there to eat lunch, then leave! It made everyone VERY UNCOMFORTABLE to say the least. There was a note when we opened the top oven, saying "use lower oven" and the washing machine had a note saying "delicate cycle only". That doesn't work very well with blue jeans and sweatshirts! The home did not appear to be professionally cleaned - dirty wall switches, dirty edges and corners throughout, greasy countertops, etc. The furnishings all show very obvious signs of age, and wear and tear. Definitely not the clean, crisp, beautiful home I expected, especially paying as much as I did! I am highly disappointed in VRBO for not setting a higher standard! I will not use this service again, unless a better system of monitoring quality and cleanliness of product is implemented.
my friends and I had a great stay. The sunsets from the deck were to die for. It had everything you needed.. The space was great for us 4 friends. Thank you Pam and Al for sharing your place with us.
A wonderful place to stay for a large family with plenty of comfortable furniture and a spacious layout. Pam and Al are very friendly and helpful and we would definitely stay here again!
Pam and Al were incredible. Very accommodating and very quick to respond with any questions. They were also flexible with check-in and check-out time, which was extremely helpful. The place was very clean and had all of the necessities for a few night stay. I'll definitely book this place next time I'm in Colorado. Highly recommend!
