The space
The main floor of the Golden Guest House is mostly made up of one large open kitchen and living room. Two small bedrooms (king bed) and (queen bed) sit on the East side of the house for lots of morning light, along with the Jack-and-Jill bathroom between them.

The downstairs master suite (king bed) is nestled with its back toward the street, and windows facing the back yard.

The downstairs master is connected by another Jack-and-Jill style bathroom with the “common area” bedroom (Full bed, twin bed, and twin floor mattress).

Adjacent laundry area, and separate entrance are also on the garden level. This whole garden level area is usually quiet and cool in the summer, and is easy for families to share.

To review: there are 5 beds in the house total. Additionally, a single floor mat, and 2 long living room sofas for single sleepers. You’ll find plenty of bedding to make yourselves comfortable.

The front deck is small, but it provides a spectacular view of local creekside, downtown Golden activity. You’re welcome to use the small charcoal BBQ in the back yard—please be safe. Outdoor lights are on a timer to go off two hours after sunset.

You will find breakfast basics have been purchased for you, but you will also find the kitchen stocked with pastas, grains, canned items, and other contributions from previous guests.

This is the perfect home base for walking the brewery circuit. Clear Creek also hosts a kayak park and an endless parade of inner tubers throughout the summer. Tennis courts, city parks, and baseball fields are all a 2 minute walk. Hiking/biking trails that run in front of the house will take you for miles onto the mesas and surrounding mountains. You will find a binder in the kitchen with more info, and a drawer with menus, brochures, trail maps, and coupons.

**There is an A/C wall unit which almost always feels like enough. Most hot days bring thunderstorms which cool things down significantly. However on days over 90 degrees, with a nighttime low above 70, the house can feel warm. Guests are encouraged to open the windows at night to cool the house naturally. Each bedroom has a fan.

There is a green private mini-apartment with rooftop deck connected to the back of the property. This is my personal space, as I’m required by the city of Golden to be on site, but there is a strong chance you won’t see me at all. I may be out watering the yard between 5:00am-7:00am, but I generally try to be invisible during your stay. I want you to feel like this is your home, and your yard.

Feel free to text me with any questions, or needs. Looking forward to hosting you at the Golden Guest House!🏡☀️

Guest access
Guests are welcome to use the front and back yards. The back yard has a table for 10.

The rooftop deck is open for you to use. Grab a blanket and sleep up there if it’s warm.

Leave the narrow passage behind the buildings for me - the west side of the property is where my entrance and garden area are located.

Other things to note
City of Golden Compliance Notice
In accordance with local regulations aimed at keeping Golden’s neighborhoods peaceful, we’re required to include the following:

Occupancy of the unit is limited to four adults and their dependents, if any.

These guidelines come directly from the City of Golden and can feel a bit rigid at times, but I fully respect them and want to make sure every stay runs smoothly. If you’re unsure whether your group qualifies under this rule, please don’t hesitate to message me— I’m happy to help clarify before you book.

Born in the 70s
My work: Interior design consultant
I’m an artist, and an interior designer. I believe beautiful spaces can comfort, rejuvenate our well being, and inspire connection. The Golden Guest House is my ongoing project—your home away from home. This a one woman operation. Yard care, cleaning, stocking, and hosting are my full time job. I am delighted thoroughly when people report feeling comfortable, and impressed that I’ve thought of everything. You probably won’t see me unless I’m watering plants between 5:AM-7:AM on hot days. I’m here to chit-chat if you’re the friendly type. If not, you’ll find most of my recommendations in the kitchen binder anyway.
