Best Rental Finds in Denver: Living the High Life on the Cheap

I can’t tell if it’s the mountains or the city, but Denver, Colorado has a special place in our hearts. It is such a dynamic city that fits our times very well, but it can also take you back in time just by taking a stroll in any of its historic neighborhoods.

One of the best perks of living here – which makes Denver truly unique – is that you can easily get away for the weekend in the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, where so many small communities await their visitors with a variety of things to do, enjoy and talk about: winter sports, hiking and bouldering, Colorado craft beer, or just enjoying nature during those many days of sunny skies.
