Summary:
Hey there! We're so excited you clicked :) You're in for a real treat as The Ralston is one of the most popular places to stay within a 5 minute walk to Olde Town Arvada!

Here are some of the highlights our guests rave about:

• Super comfy mattresses (and a King Bed!)
• Fenced backyard with a table and grill, so you can relax and enjoy the beautiful Colorado weather!
• Quiet street with friendly neighbors who will make you feel right at home.
• Did I mention the fully equipped kitchen?

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 :)
• It's also has convenient light rail access: Zip into downtown Denver in 20 minutes. Rockies, Nuggets, and Broncos fans, rejoice!
• 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.
• Bedroom 2: King bed with luxury Casper mattress, direct backyard access.
• Bedroom 3: Cozy twin trundle bed, perfect for kids.

Dog-Friendly Delight: A fully fenced backyard, providing peace of mind and freedom for your furry friends.

Guest Access:
Parking is free on the street in front of the house! There is also parking in the backyard driveway (2 cars tandem) but it's often difficult to get the fence open from the alley so most guests park on the street.

Olde Town Arvada is right on the edge of the city of Denver with a historic downtown area that is one of the Denver hotspots with craft breweries, restaurants, and shops. It has a small town feel within a big city.

Great backyard, cozy set up & good customer service from the hosts
We stayed here while hiking through Colorado. This was our first stay & our favorite out of our 9 days in Colorado & 4 stays. The hosts were prompt at getting us the check in information, with questions & even provided complimentary snacks for our stay. 10/10 would recommend & 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.

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!

Perfect location for all the things we wanted to do in the larger Denver area. Easy driving distance to many local attractions and then quick walk to Olde Town in the evenings when we didn't want to cook. Beautiful yard outside space was perfect for traveling with our pup. Thank you!

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!

Perfect house!
We loved this house: All the items we needed i.e.bathroom items and wonderful towels. The kitchen had EVERYTHING we could ask for like ziploc bags and plenty of coffee and plates etc. The beds were super comfy and complete with beautiful linens. The location was incredibly close to cute coffee shops and we walked to a great dinner at Smokin Fins. We will return to this fantastic rental.

Great time and great location!
We had a very nice time, property hosts were great and very responsive. It was a 2 minute walk to Olde Town Arvada shops, restaurants, and bars. The house was very comfortable and they had nice "extra" amenities. We really enjoyed the fire table and seating area in the back as well as the spa outside! We'd highly recommend this property!

Olde Town Arvada Gem
Beautifully updated older home that still has its original charm. Very clean, beds extremely comfy. Backyard is phenomenal with the pergola fire pit and great seating. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate with our stay-first snowfall of the season-so we were not able to enjoy the backyard at all, but we were plenty cozy indoors! Great location and excellent communication with owner.

Yes you want to book this lovely home!
We stayed here while attending a concert at Red Rock amphitheater. Most importantly to us the house is extremely clean! The neighborhood feels very safe. It’s quiet and walking distance to downtown. Everything you need is only a few steps away. No Uber needed. The home is equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We even changed plans from eating out to stay in because it was so cozy. Julie (owner) responded immediately when I had a question which for me was another factor in booking this listing. I would definitely book again if I find myself returning to the area.

Cute, convenient, communicative
My sisters, mom, and baby niece were in town for wedding dress shopping. This place was perfect. There was a pack n play for the baby, three rooms, and an adorable yard. We loved the proximity to coffee shops, dining, and the farmers market (honestly a 3 min walk). Julie was very communicative and we had zero issues checking in or out of the property. We were very impressed and would stay there again.

Old Town Arvada
My husband, myself and our two dogs enjoyed our stay at Julie's place. We needed something in proximity to Red Rocks, but also wanted to explore a different Denver neighborhood. The short distance to the Ralston Creek Trail was ideal for a morning run or a walk with the dogs. The ability to walk to Old Town and explore the great used book store and have a beer was ideal as well. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We would definitely stay at Julie's again.

Lovely Comfortable Home, Great Location
This is a lovely home with plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable. It was immaculate. The fully stocked kitchen was great to have for breakfasts and “at home” meals. The 3 bedrooms are light and airy with comfortable furnishings. One has a desk for for work. Old town Arvada is a block away with plenty of restaurants and stores to browse. The location of this home makes it easy to get to downtown Denver, Boulder, and plenty other parks and areas to hike. We stayed for a week and it felt like home. Critical for us was the full size washer and dryer since we were traveling light. There was a table and seating in the yard which we would have enjoyed had it been a tad warmer. If you want the comfort and amenities of home while away, this is the place to be.
