Yard & Grill: Centrally Located Denver Retreat!

Reviews

• 5/5

  Very clean home. Beautifully decorated. Pictures are accurate. Great location. The home suited our family of 5 perfectly. We spent most of our time in the backyard on the beautiful back patio. The description mentions both rooms are upstairs. The master is upstairs and the two queen bedroom is downstairs. Which actually fit us better. Especially with the 2nd bathroom and living room downstairs. We felt like we had had our own apartments. It was private and very quiet. The stairs were a little steep but it wasn't an issue for us. We didn't use the kitchen besides the coffee pot and fridge but it seemed well stocked with glassware, kitchen pots, pans, utensils etc. We loved this home and would stay again. Side note: There's very beautiful coral honeysuckle vine next to the patio. If you are allergic to bees be careful.

• Absolutely lovely home

  5/5

  Home is absolutely lovely, matches the description perfectly. You can tell it's owned by very contentious folks who maintain a high standard. Everything was clean, neat, generously outfitted, and comfortable for our family. Location is perfect for visitng Denver.

• Nice house, but loud construction next door

  2/5

  This is a very cute small house. It has a functional small kitchen, areas to sit, comfortable beds, and a small yard. In terms of the house itself, there are a few drawbacks.One bedroom is in the basement. This isn't clear from the listing. It is a comfortable small room with a window, but the stairway is steep to access it.The sheets are older polyester and are very itchy. An upgrade to cotton sheets would be a nice improvement.The doorway threshold at the side entry door is a tripping hazard. The door is at the top of several concrete steps with no railing, which is dangerous, especially when carrying objects in or out of the house when you may not see the threshold as you walk through.The various fees and taxes associated with this rental for three nights doubled the cost of the rental itself. Don't be fooled by the seemingly reasonable per-night fee.The major drawback is that there is currently loud construction next door, which is not mentioned in the listing.During the two full days of our three night stay, the house and driveway were unusable because a crew was removing all the large trees and vegetation from the lot next door with loud saws, a bucket truck, and a smelly diesel powered wood chipper. The plans include demolishing the neighbor's house and building a new larger house. Once done, this listing will likely be a nice place to rent. But at present, you will likely encounter loud construction next door in a normally quiet neighborhood.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Bill, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the functional kitchen and comfortable beds. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback on where we could improve. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your review, and they wanted to share the following:
  – The listing notes that stairs are required to access the home, with two bedrooms and one bathroom on the main floor. We’ve also updated the listing to note the construction taking place next door, as this is an active and evolving neighborhood. We weren’t aware of the specific project until your second day, and once notified, we reached out to the contractor right away. We also worked with Evolve to offer a fair industry standard resolution in response to the disruption. As for fees and taxes, those are set by the booking platform and local jurisdictions, and are displayed before booking so guests can review the full cost in advance.
  – All bedding in the home is 100% cotton with a 400-thread count, selected for comfort and quality. We understand preferences can vary and will continue to keep guest comfort in mind when reviewing linens.
  – The side entry has not raised concerns in the past, but we appreciate your comments and will reassess the threshold and stairs during our next visit to ensure safety and ease of use for all guests. The listing notes that the fireplace is decorative only, and pet policies are also outlined clearly in advance, including the one-dog max and pre-trip pet fee.
  We value your input and will keep making thoughtful improvements to continue providing great guest experiences moving forward.

• Neighborhood stay next to family

  5/5

  I had a wonderful stay for four days in the neighborhood. That was just a block away from our families house. We’re on able to walk to different restaurants. The house is very cute clean and very efficient. Enjoyed having coffee in the morning and we did not really cook it all while we were there, but certainly had enough equipment to do so. The backyard was nice for sitting out and catching some sun. Would love to come back
