The exterior looks a little rough, but step inside to 1952. We were happy we rented the Retro House for several reasons. It was clean and cozy, had neat decor, and had all the essentials anyone would need to be comfortable. The location is absolutely perfect if you want to be close to everything - historic downtown, restaurants, walking trail, tubing, Coors and other breweries, park. What else do you want? Finally, Kendra was in communication with us throughout our stay to make sure our needs/concerns were met. We loved Golden partially due to this small but cozy home and our host, Kendra. We will stay here if/when we return to Golden. Thank you Kendra.
This location is great and the price is right. We enjoyed the retro vibe. A booklet of instructions for tv, stove, ac, etc would be helpful.Patio was a delight but the weeds did detract.
This place met my top 3 criteria: clean, good bed, and quiet. We did a lot of cycling and the local path ran right next to the house. And the Golden Mill is a very cool place to grab a drink.
We're a family of 3 and this was perfect for us. A great place to base from to visit the Red Rocks, Golden and day trips to the mountains! We love how you can walk to the downtown area of Golden, that was a huge plus!
The Retro Retreat was a great location for us to visit my son at the Colorado School of Mines. It had everything we needed and was close to downtown and the Clear Creek trail.
The beautiful lil gem near downtown Golden was a steal!!! Walking distance to all kinds of shopping and dining. Directly on a walking/Biking trail. The house lives up to its name! It is small but very intimate. All of the old house sounds and feels are there. Hearing the floors creaking brought back oldMemories from childhood. The mini retro Nintendo was the best part for me!!! My wife was in love with the styling of the house. The owner was super attentive and checked on us to make sure everything was good!!! Looking forward to staying again.
Definitely Retro in a good way. Not on the river , but close enough.
If you are looking for a 50âs - 60âs middle class experience, this is the place. I grew up during those years. There are enough elements from that time period to make it Retro⊠If you go with the experience itâs a fun place.My only complaints. I had difficulty identifying the lock box (there are two entry doors. When I found the correct door. It was difficult to open all the. Way. Not a deal breaker at all. Kinda fit the profile. I grew up in a house that was less desirable than this example.
We enjoyed our stay at this small home. It had a good location and reasonable priced. This home meet our needs while we visited Golden to watch our grandson play baseball at school of the mines.
Perfect for our long weekend in town. Clean as can be. Comfortable. Everything from check in to check out was clear and convenient. Lots of Câs there!
Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The location is great, and the accommodations were fine for a solo traveler. Kendra was quick enough to respond to issues.
I preface this by saying that I live in an 150 year old house, and work in the outdoors, however I was a bit disappointed by the amount of bugs inside. Beyond the 20-30
The location of the retro house made it a great choice for exploring downtown Golden. It was within walking distance if needed or a couple-minute drive. I also appreciated how quiet the neighborhood was. It's on the east side of Golden, which I wasn't familiar with and I was impressed by the lack of noise over there.
That being said, it's an older house and it comes with the quirks older buildings have: short door frames, a few drafty areas around the door, which also let bugs in, and some unexpected noises from the plumbing. My husband found himself bonking his head during the night when making trips to the kitchen and bathroom.
Kendra was a delight to deal with. She was very communicative about expectations, helpful hints about the house, and how to access the property to park.
For the price, I don't think you can beat this property. Having full use of a kitchen, dining room, and separate living and bedroom areas made it far superior to a hotel at the same price point.
