About this property

Country Living for Grandparents, Travel Nurses and Execs!

We would love to have you stay with us in our 1500 sq ft, 2 bedroom apartment, with it's own private entrance, in the walkout lower level of our home. We are on 2.5 acres, with barns, stalls and a riding arena (you can even bring your own horse!:), and a "mini petting zoo" where you can interact with the chickens, goats, dogs and barn kitties. Feel free to collect your own fresh eggs!

This is a newly built, Colorado western-themed apartment, with a fully equipped kitchen, full-sized appliances. all your cooking utensils, pots and pans, spices and condiments. The kitchen also boasts a coffee bar and a stocked wine rack. The living room is cozy and comfortable, with matching couch, loveseat and oversized chair. Also in the living room, is a large smart TV with cable, and a wood burning fireplace.

Down the hall there is a laundry room with your own washer, dryer, clothes rack, iron and ironing board. Then, across the hall is the bathroom with a tub/shower, handicap-accessible bars, fluffy towels, soap, lotions and toilet paper.

The first bedroom has a amazingly comfortable king-sized bed
(or so we've been told by nearly everyone who has slept on it), with soft, flannel sheets (in the winter months) and feather comforters. On the walls, for your viewing pleasure, is another tv and Indian and western art.

The second bedroom, (the rodeo cowboy room) has an equally as comfortable, queen-sized bed with a large feather comforter, a huge walk-in closet, and a reading nook with a desk, chair and plug-ins for your laptop, books, antiques and an overstuffed chair.

Outside of the kitchen, is your private patio that opens up to a large fenced yard surrounded by pine trees. To the east, are the most beautiful sunrises, and to the west, gorgeous sunsets. We have great views of the city and the mountains, and plenty of off street parking.

This is country living at it's finest, with quick access to all major highways. You can be in downtown Denver in 20-30 minutes, or up to the mountains for skiing or playing at the casinos in an hour. DIA is 28 minutes, and Colorado Springs is just 50 minutes away, if you want to visit Pikes Peak or the Air Force Academy, and many other interesting attractions.

A perfect vacation experience!

My husband and I stayed at Shauna and Mario’s place for two weeks and we absolutely loved it. Shauna and Mario are gracious hosts, their apartment is spacious and charming, and the farm animals are very entertaining. The location is perfect as there are many interesting things to see and do within an hour or two in any direction. We had a fantastic time and were sad to leave our new friends and this idyllic spot.

Most wonderful hosts!

Shauna and Mario are the most welcoming of hosts. They could not have been kinder to us. We enjoyed hanging out with them and the animals. Due to ill health and the heat we spent a lot of time at the apartment and found it most comfortable.Everything that you could possibly need or want. Lots of extras such as snacks, beer and wine

The Perfect Place To Stay

We were so excited for our stay in Centennial after reading so many glowing reviews prior to booking this property. But I must say, everything about it far exceeded our expectations. We had such an instant connection with our hosts, Shauna and Mario, that we felt as if we were staying with old friends who rolled out the red carpet for us. The apartment was so clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with just about everything needed for our stay. Some of our other family members who were in the area came to visit us there and were welcomed with the same warmth and kindness. We all had so much fun visiting with the animals and our young granddaughter just loved the egg hunt that Shauna had prepared for her. Thank you again, Shauna and Mario for such a memorable stay! We hope to see you again soon!

Perfect home away from home

We stayed here during our Colorado trip, due to Larkspur being a central location to our various activities. The hosts are very kind and communicative, the apartment is comfortable and well appointed, and we felt at home while there. We even got to pet some of the cats, which helps when we’re away from our own! Would definitely stay here again on future trips.

Country Living for Families

We had a wonderful time staying at this country apartment at Centennial. The place is very roomy and the beds very comfortable. The views of the Rockies were gorgeous. The farm animals made the stay extra special for our granddaughter. She really enjoyed playing on the grassy backyard and spending time visiting resident chickens and goats and petting farm kitties and dogs. Our hosts were a pleasure to meet and always welcoming and helpful.

Escape to Denver

Shauna and Mario were amazing! Friendly, accommodating and professional. The property is conveniently located just off a busy road...but perfectly situated for NO traffic noise. This single level, ground floor access is perfect for anyone with mobility challenges. They provided so many basics, more than any other rental we have used. Fresh eggs (from chickens on site), bacon, snacks and a pantry and refrigerator full of staples and condiments! They provided way more than expected. The property was clean and everything was in perfect working condition. Thank you Shauna and Mario for a wonderful week in Denver.

Small farm

The owners treat you more like a B+B but not intrusive. More supplies than you can use. Excellent communication. Like being with your family.

Fantastic people to stay with!

Shauna and Mario are the sweetest and most wonderful people to stay with! My wife and I stayed in the apartment under them for our honeymoon and they made us feel very welcome. The apartment was absolutely wonder. Very clean with anything you would ever need. We plan on staying with them again whenever we go back to Colorado.

Relax and enjoy!

This was so much more than we expected! Beautiful location, amazing hosts, within 30 minutes all of the Denver area. We were greeted with fresh eggs from their chickens, very private. Can't say enough good things about this, truly a hidden gem. I will definitely go back!

Grandparents Welcome

A sign overlooking our parking spot on the property said in Spanish Grandparents Welcome. So true. The working farm with immaculately tended chickens and goats, as well asthe two regal white Pyrennese dogs are a magnet that draws suburban grandchildren to this rental. We had come to Colorado to assist at the birth of our second grandchild. What a treat it was to have the big sister visit here while her parents were in the hospital with the newborn. The owners were most solicitious and took our granddaughter on multiple trips to gather eggs and feed the chickens. But our own stay over three weeks couldn't not have been more enjoyable. Arriving late in the afternoon, we found a fully stocked kitchen with all the basic spices, oils, flour, sugar, etc. But even more wonderful was the food left in the refrigerator and freezer with all the fixings for the next morning's breakfast plus the ice cream for a late night snack. The two bedroom apartment is roomy and very comfortable, with a wonderful sense of style. Coming from the East Coast, we were quite ignorant of many renowned Southwestern artists. Each room had quality prints of several such masters. In addition, unique lamps, striking dried floral arrangements, added to the charm. The neighborhood also was very attractive to us. Minutes away from suburbia, it was an enclave of ranches which offered us many nice walks among cottonwoods and old growth trees conveniently located out our back door. Finally, I must remark on the gorgeous sunsets from our patio, and the big sky all around, the whole globe as it were before our eyes. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Shauna Conner

Host profile image
I am retired after 43 yrs in the Emergency Services field. Yay!! Mario still has a couple more years to go. He's a restaurant manager, and a fantastic cook! If you stay with us, you may be the lucky recipient of his infamous New Mexico style enchiladas!
We just moved into this home at the end of 2020. We specifically looked for a home that we could remodel to include a guest rental. The home we moved from had had a similar rental that we had built. We had the most wonderful people stay with us, for a month, maybe 2 or 3. And, we had many repeat guests (lots of grandparents, who come to town to visit their kids and grandkids, but don't necessarily want to stay with them 24/7!:), who put in their reservation for the following year while staying with us. We just love hosting! And, our 5-star reviews show how much we've loved our guests, and vice versa.
Did I mention that we love hosting, and have made some amazing, lifelong friendships through our rental? It could be dinner in our home during the winter months, or drinks and grilling out on the patio in the summertime. But, if you prefer your privacy, we are ok with that, too. You set the pace. But either way, come and have a great time here at our country living property!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property because of the land and the barns, and the possibilities that this home offered. We think you will feel the same way. Sometimes, you just don't want the hustle and bustle of city life, and having to live so close to others. You just want peace and quiet, trees, birds, a gentle breeze. and to be able to just lay out in your lounge chair in the sunshine.
But, when it's time to get back to work, we are very close to all major highways, that can zip you quickly into Denver or Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, DIA, up to the mountains to the casinos, or further north to Wyoming. You'll be close to lots of shopping, cultural events, golf, skiing and hiking. And, if your work involves computer work, we have great internet service here.

What makes this property unique

Even though this apartment is in the basement of our home, it is light, bright, clean and cozy. You won't even realize you're in a walk-out basement.
We have 6 grandsons in the Denver area, so a mini petting zoo seemed to be in order: 20 chickens (so, lots of fresh eggs!:), 2 mama Nigerian Dwarf goats and their 2 babies, 2 friendly barn kitties, and 2 Great Pyrenees who guard over the animals. Feel free to bring your own horse!
