The house is very unique and in a beautiful location, very convenient to Golden and Red Rocks. Hiking trails abound. It is an old house however that shows its age. Plumbing and kitchen are dated. Only one shower upstairs and one closet.

Our stay at the Mount Vernon Ranch

Our family liked the homey atmosphere, the personal touches of the house, being out near Red Rock and the hiking nearby. We even saw deer one early evening eating grass near the house. This home and the surroundings gave us many great memories which we will cherish. Thank you Dennis!

Golden Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at the Mt. Vernon Ranch House! Nestled just a short drive from the Colorado School of Mines, Coors Brewery, and Red Rocks, this charming home offered the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. The house itself was clean, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was also incredibly helpful and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the area!

Amazing House

The house is in a great location, is very secluded but easy access to Denver, Golden, and lots of nature activities around. The house itself is very spacious and cozy and has a great space out back for hanging out, and a great living room for watching movies/sports. The host was great and very responsive and helpful, will definitely be staying here again if I’m ever back in the area!

Hardy at Red Rocks

We are a group of four couples of longtime friends who came to see a concert at Red Rocks. We were only there for 2 nights, but had a great time. The house was easy to get to from the airport and was close to Morrison and Golden. The house is VERY interesting with a lot of history. Due to the time of year, and age of the house,(Halloween) we had a bit of fun with each other over the prospect of the house being haunted, however we never experienced anything to support that. The house was well stocked with what we needed for this quick trip. Dennis was great and we had a wonderful time.

Wedding ceremony

This is such a wonderful place to stay! Whether you’re doing a weekend get away, or hosting an event, you’re sure to have a wonderful relaxing time! We had a intimate wedding ceremony here and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We had asked if they were able to mow the grass before the ceremony, and Dennis went out of his way to make sure that was done in time for us to have the ceremony. Check in, and check out were super easy. The house had all the essentials needed for a nice relaxing stay. It is a very antique and neat place to stay. Definitely give it a try if you’re looking in the area. Thank you!!
