Awesome stay!

The house is amazing. The location is 15 min from a Walmart in multiple directions. 10 min drive to red rocks. WiFi is great! Ran multiple tv’s and phones no problem. Signal worked great for T-Mobile and Att. Very quiet and secluded location. Stayed for a week and loved the kitchen area for family cooking. Great stay would recommend.

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!

Perfect Location for Red Rocks

We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our first Red Rocks concert. The home was charming in a beautiful setting and so close to the amphitheater. If you love a home with a history this will check all your boxes. We highly recommend!
