The Space:
Welcome to our Arvada Retreat! 🏡✨

Local Roots: I'm Julie, raised right here in Arvada, near the charming chimes of St. Anne's. I know every corner of this town and adore it deeply! My husband and I cherished living in this house, and now we're thrilled to share its warmth and character with you!

• The Ralston is a leisurely 5-minute stroll to Olde Town Arvada's delightful restaurants and bars... with the bonus of FREE and easy street parking :)

• Red Rocks concerts and Boulder adventures are just a 20-30 minute drive away.

NOT your typical vacation rental:
• The private and fully fenced backyard is a 4 season oasis complete with a HOT TUB, a patio with out sectional & FIRE PIT, and in the summer... an outdoor movie screen/projector!
• Tons with character yet equipped with modern amenities like high-speed internet and a new central air system.

Restful Nights:
• Bedroom 1: Queen bed with memory foam, spacious closet.

Excellent stay for a relaxing time

This property was exactly as described and was in an excellent location for our short trip. Everything was well stocked, clean, and more than adequate to meet our needs. Communication was excellent and any questions we had were answered immediately. Being so close to the old town area made it really easy to grab some late night meals with friendly service. We also took time to enjoy the jacuzzi and blow up screen given the beautiful weather. We’ll definitely keep this location on our short list for returns.

Beautiful home in a nice area

Loved our stay at this extremely clean, updated home. The backyard and hot tub are awesome, too. It was nice to be able to walk to local restaurants and shops, and at the same time the neighborhood was quiet and felt safe during our visit. We also hiked at Rocky Mountain National Park and saw Garden of the Gods, which were each about a 90-minute drive from the house. Would stay here again!

Girls trip

This property was great for our girls trip. 4 of us stayed, it was everyone’s first time in Colorado. The house was perfect. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all kinds of helpful things like coffee, and plastic baggies. The back yard was so cozy for relaxing early morning and in the evenings. Old town Arvada was very cute and a quick walk from the house.

Cozy home in lively neighborhood

We had a group of six friends stay for a weekend full of board games and exploring downtown Arvada, and had a great time! Julie & Alex were very accommodating and quick to respond to all our questions. The amenities - hot tub, fenced yard for a pet, available laundry - all made this a very comfortable stay. A five-minute walk to the Arvada coffeeshops, restaurants, parks, and Denver Beer Co. capped off a phenomenal weekend. Would gladly recommend this location!
