About this property

PET AND FAMILY FRIENDLY I HEART COLORADO HOME

Welcome to our Pet and family-friendly home:).

The property boasts 3 cozy bedrooms that sleep up to 8 people. There is lots of extra bedding and blankets for everyone to stay comfy and warm.

The cozy living room has a comfortable sofa and flat-screen TV, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring the city. There are also lots of fun board games for all ages.

The ensuite master bedroom has a Queen size bed, cozy chair, large walk in closet, and a beautiful full bathroom with fresh towels, and all the essential toiletries you need. The walk-in closet has plenty of room to hang all your belongings.

There are 2 additional bedrooms with comfy queen-size beds and a pack and play for the little ones.

The 2 full baths have shampoo/conditioner, soap, and lots of other items you may have forgotten to pack. There is an additional closet between the 2 rooms that has additional bedding, towels, a blow dryer, and a first aid kit(hopefully you won't need it) for your use.

Save money and cook at home in our fully equipped kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, microwave, and all the cookware and utensils you need to prepare your favorite meals. The Keurig coffee maker is stocked with coffee. In the cupboard you will find a variety of spices and the fridge has basic condiments for your use.

The Colorful, artsy, fun backyard has an array of outdoor games and bikes for both adults and the kiddos to enjoy(Bikes are older, so please practice safety when using them). We are not responsible for any injuries incurred while using the bikes.

We know how hard it is to travel with your furry friend because we have dogs, too. We welcome well-behaved, non-barking, potty-trained pups. There are two dog doors for both big/small dogs to use. The backyard is fenced in all the way around, unless your dog can jump a 6-foot fence there is no escape route that we are aware of. In the kitchen, you will find a water/food bowl so you don't have to worry about bringing your own. If your pet has a cozy bed they love please feel free to bring that with you. There is also turf grass and some shaded areas for them to stay cool on those hot sunny days in the summer.

There is fake turf in the backyard please do not use any flammable materials near/in the grass. (Please do not smoke or ash in the turf). If you burn the grass or start a fire in the backyard you will be charged for the assessed damage.

We strive to be respectful of our neighbors. If you are traveling with your pup please make sure they are not barking persistently in the backyard area. Please keep your pets off the furniture to avoid any damage. There are extra blankets at the property if needed to cover the furniture if you cannot keep them off.

Please clean up after your pets in the yard. I have provided a bucket and pooper scooper to clean up the messes. A FINE of $100 will be charged if pet waste is found on the property. If cleaners report the presence of unapproved pets, guests will be FINED $250 and/or forfeiture of security deposit.
.
Our cozy and well-appointed home is centrally located to great restaurants, shops, and attractions. The light rail train is just a few blocks away. Take the Gold Line to Union Station and enjoy downtown Denver. You can transfer here and take the light rail to Denver International Airport.

We occasionally stay in the detached garage, which is a completely separate space with its own fenced yard. You might see us in the driveway or using the shared trash cans, but aside from that, you won't even notice we're there.

Perfect stay for a family gathering

We loved our stay at this house. The kitchen and the home itself were beautifully apportioned with everything we could have wanted. It was a home away from home. The neighborhood was quiet. Nysa was quick to respond and communicated very thoroughly. We would absolutely stay here again.

The house is in a great neighborhood, and it’s so well stocked, check in before you go to the store because you might buy things you don’t need. Nysa is a fantastic hostess and very accommodating, and responds almost immediately. We were five adults and two dogs!

Great stay

Really enjoyed the stay, house had great amenities like a grill and fire pit in the backyard and a well stocked kitchen. Living room was also very cozy and a great place to gather despite the house not having a dining table. Wifi was fast and reliable, host was very responsive to questions. Only downside was that some parts of house weren’t thoroughly cleaned (found used qtip in a bedroom)

Perfect for our needs

We had a great stay with Nysa as she was very easy to work with us, the place was very well equipped for a several day stay, the bed comfortable and the yard was great for our pups. There is also a park only a block down the road and lots of restaurants/grocery stores, etc within 10 minutes from here. I must give an extra shout out to Nysa as we were here during some renovations and she went above and beyond helping us out. I would definitely stay here again.

6th year old's birthday

We stayed for a weekend with our 6 year old, almost 2 year old, and 5 month old. Everyone had a great time. The weather wasn't amazing, so we didn't get to use the outside area much. However, we are looking forward to staying in the home again and using the outside space. The inside was clean and a great size for our family of 5. It's two blocks from a really nice park for kids! We come to CO a lot (5+ times a year) and it was the best rental we've stayed in yet for our small family with young children.

About the host

Hosted by Nysa Rayno

Host profile image
I am originally from New Hampshire and moved to Colorado in 1997. I lived in Breckenridge for many years before relocating to the Denver area. Throughout my journey, I have owned several small businesses, including a hot dog cart, a vintage store, an ice cream bike, and a doggy daycare. Currently, I work as a Realtor.

We love sharing our home with families, whether they have kids or pets, and we can accommodate single groups or multiple groups of up to 8 people. Our goal is to make our home cozy and fully equipped with all the essentials you need to feel right at home.

A few years ago, I purchased my home and recently transformed it into a short-term rental for families and their furry friends to enjoy. I understand how challenging it can be to find pet-friendly accommodations while traveling, so I wanted to create a welcoming space for those traveling with pets.

My boyfriend and I love to travel and are passionate about outdoor activities. We appreciate all the amazing experiences Colorado has to offer right in our backyard! We have provided a guest guidebook and QR code for you during your stay to share some of our favorite spots and suggestions for things to do.

We have a detached garage with its own fenced-in yard that we occasionally use. We may be on-site to check you in, or we might be out exploring. If we're in the area and not traveling, you may see us during your stay, either in the driveway or using the shared trash cans outside!

Kick back and make yourself at home!

We hope you enjoy our quaint "I Heart Colorado" home and love it as much as we do.
