Welcome to our Farmhouse! It is a 2-acre slice of rural heaven just minutes from the bustle of Denver and the western suburbs. A relaxing retreat with the historic charm of a 1919 farmhouse, nicely updated to be comfortable for you and your family’s stay. Enjoy the back patio with a cup of coffee, the fire pit with stumps to sit on and roast s’mores, and your kids playing in the sandbox. And when you’re ready to head back to civilization, restaurants and shopping and groceries are minutes away, Denver 20 minutes, Boulder 30 minutes, and multiple ski resorts only 1.5 hours.
The Farmhouse is a family and kid-friendly place. We also have little ones who love to dig in the sandbox, play on the play structures, run in the grass, and sit by the fire. We know your family will enjoy it as well!
We have plenty of room to sleep 6-8 at the Farmhouse with three bedrooms upstairs and two full baths. Please note the farmhouse is older, the stairs are steep, and all three bedrooms are on the second level. Here are descriptions of each room and space to help plan your stay:

Since we are family-friendly we don’t allow parties, recreational drugs, or smoking in the house or on the grounds. We also ask that our guests are quiet by 10:30 pm out of respect to the neighbors.
The Farmhouse remains a quiet reprieve and breath of fresh air. Come on by, enjoy the peace, and explore a bit of history at our small slice of heaven in west Arvada. We look forward to hosting you at the Farmhouse, and hope it is a blessing for your stay in Colorado!
