Neighbourhood
We live in a safe, quiet, leafy suburban neighborhood. Our subdivision has an outdoor pool (membership or pass required) that is open during summer. Passes need to be arranged in advance if you desire to use the pool..There are a few outdoor tennis courts that we have access to. There are a few neighborhood parks with playgrounds within walking distance. From our house, you can access a variety of outdoor activities and cultural events.
1. Downtown Denver: 15 miles away. Take the light rail or drive. Many museums, art exhibits, performing art center, Elitch Gardens amusement park, water parks, aquariums, Children's Museum, shopping, dining, all 5 major professional sports.
Water Park: largest water park in the US.
Butterfly Pavilion
2. Rocky Mountain National Park: 78 miles. About 1 hour and 40 minutes drive away.
3. Cherry Creek State Park: (2.5 miles away from the vehicle entrance but one can walk, bike, or jog into the park from our house in about one mile). The park consists of a natural prairie and wetland environment with an 880-acre reservoir at its center which is shared by powerboats, sailboats, and paddle craft.
4. Red Rocks Amphitheater (25 miles or 40 km away, 30-minute drive) : (I'm copying some texts from the Red Rocks amphitheater Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/RedRocksCO/)
5. Garden of the Gods (57 miles or 91 km, 1-hour drive).
The Garden of the Gods park is a National Natural Landmark, having been recognized by the Department of the Interior as "a nationally-significant natural area."
6. Georgetown (55 miles or 88 km, 1 hour drive): Georgetown is a delightful Victorian village set in a spectacular mountain valley with 200 restored buildings from the 1870s. The main street has shops and restaurants, and many of the old homes have been turned into antique stores. The Georgetown Loop Railroad operates in the summer months with narrow-gauge steam locomotives curling down a mountain ledge, at one point crossing over a 90-foot-high (27 m) trestle. Georgetown lake sets against the mountains and offers a variety of water activities.
7. Mt. Evans Scenic Byway
8. Royal Gorge Bridge and Park (105 miles)
9. Cannon City and Skyline Drive
Nearest airport
The nearest airport is Denver International Airport. It's about 27 miles (43 km), which takes about 30-40 minutes by car.
Getting Around
We're about 2 miles (3 km) from a transportation hub with light rail and buses to downtown Denver, the airport, and other places in metro Denver. If you just want to visit Downtown Denver, a car is not needed. We have bikes you can use to get to the light rail station and from there, you can take the light rail to downtown. There are many bus routes to various places in Denver.
Within 3 miles (5 km) of our house, there are many restaurants and shops. We usually drive there but biking will also work.
To enjoy other aspects of metro Denver and the mountains, a rental car is needed. If you don't want to rent or don't want to drive, you can purchase various day trips from Denver on Viator. For example, there are day trips to the Rocky Mountain National Park from Denver, to the Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods, and to the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, Continental Divide, and Breckenridge.

Jeff and Ping's home is spacious and comfortable. Their kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The neighborhood is a quick drive to downtown Denver and also convenient by the rail line which was very easy to use. During our visit, we went to Boulder (~1 hour) for a beautiful hike and scenery, downtown Denver (~20 mins) for a Cinco de Mayo festival, good restaurants, and a Denver Rockies baseball game. We also walked (~1 mile) to a brewery near their house which had tasty asian fusion food as well as good beer. No visit to Denver area is complete without seeing the Coors brewery in Golden (~30 mins) where we sampled fresh and delicious beer. Denver area has much to offer during any season. During our stay in early May, we saw beautiful mountain views, lots of bird wildlife on trails and in Jeff and Ping's yard, and wildflowers. We had a great visit in Jeff and Ping's home and would recommend it to groups of all sizes interested in the Denver area. -
We had an awesome time in Ping and Jeff's home. The location is perfect to visit points of interest to the West (Mt. Evans, Georgetown), North (Rocky Mountains NP, Red Rocks Amphitheater), South (Colorado Springs), and Denver itself. Our 5 y.o. daughter really enjoyed the Pirate's Cove water park 15 min. from the house. The house is gorgeous and very spacious, super clean. We also successfully exchanged the cars. Ping was thoughtful to set up a cot for our daughter in the master bedroom, and she loved it! Communication was smooth and prompt before and during the exchage. We highly recommend this home to future exchangers. -
The kitchen was well-equipped and organized. Having a pool table available was added fun! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. Our dogs enjoyed the yard! -
We had a wonderful stay at Ping and Jeff’s home. They are terrific hosts. They went out of their way to accommodate our travel dates, they let us use their kids’ old toys, they decorated their house for Christmas for us and even left us Christmas gifts! Their home was very comfortable and we enjoyed visiting the nearby parks. We really appreciated Ping and Jeff’s hospitality and highly recommend them!

Jeff and Ping
We're a traveling party of two. Jeff is an attorney and Ping is a university professor working in downtown Denver. We both primarily work remotely although we do need to be in person a few days per month.
We're interested in visiting pretty much any destination in the US, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or other places.
We don't smoke. We're respectful homeowners who will treat your home like our own.
On rare occasions, our two adult children may wish to join us in your home.
We have a 34-pound hypoallergenic, nonshedding, Australian Labradoodle. We don't usually take our dog on home exchanges. When you stay at our house and we can't take him with us, we'll send him to a friend's house so he can enjoy a holiday as well playing with his doodle friend.
