The property was very nicely done, very clean & comfortable.
Loved that it was close to Colfax & all the restaurants.
Only critique would be that the side walk should be repaired.

Modern with a touch of old
Beautifully decorated with uniqueness in every room. Absolutely recommend for someone that has or ever witnessed a home renovation.
Located perfectly close to downtown, union station, etc. yet far enough to have the residential vibe. park across the street and perfect for early morning walks.

Vacation enhancer
It's not too often the vacation home enhances the trip but this place definitely did! Not only is the property decorated with such fun style, it is very clean and comfortable. No problem with on-street parking in a very quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to restaurants and brewpubs. We especially enjoyed the Walnut Room for salads and pizza. Walking distance to the train as well. I also appreciated the key-less entry.

The perfect family vacation home in Denver
Quirky, cool and memorable, this home truly is a wonder. It is filled with beautiful art, found objects and antiques but never feels cluttered. Instead, you will end up exploring every nook and cranny during your stay, taking photographs of each room, and having a conversation starter for the rest of your life as you tell everyone about this funky, comfortable renovated old house you once stayed in while visiting Denver. Don't hesitate for a minute to book, you won't regret a vacation here!

Amazing house, great location!
This little house is beyond charming. We were blown away by the attention to detail. It's so cozy and cool. We just loved it. On top of the charm, it was right in the heart of all things Denver, and we were just a few minutes away from Coors Field and the Zoo and so many great neighborhood gems. Lynette's guide to the local restaurants was perfect. We would DEFINITELY stay here again. (It's also inspired us to completely redecorate :) )

Cute, cute, cute
What a cute place. The pictures don’t do it justice, especially upstairs. Lynette clearly put a lot of thought, creativity, and heart into renovating and decorating the property. The location was convenient too, both for walking to the Five Points commercial area and driving or taking an Uber downtown. And thank you for the recommendation on the Rolling Pin Bake Shop. We had to go there two days in a row. Yum!! Overall, staying here was a first rate experience and a great value. I would definitely stay here again.

Believe the hype! This house is great.
Whittier Wonder was a fantastic home base for our family of 4. It is in a perfect location for visiting Denver and surrounding areas (e.g., great hiking within an hour) and the house itself is beautiful and comfortable. I’ve rented many VRBOs over the years and this was definitely one of the nicest. Renovations are perfect and the house has updated furnishings and bedding, lots of fluffy towels, A/C, and comfy couches (tv room now has love seat - not in pics). The owner provided things like soap, paper towels, and even coffee (I’ve been to places where I had to buy my own dish towels!). It was very clean too.

Fantastic property for a Denver getaway!
From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. Walking into the property further wowed us with the attention to detail, love and care that was put into regenerating this classic home as well as decorating it. All rooms were beautifully appointed, very clean and well stocked. Each room had its special gems and unique features stemming from the original bones. Beds were comfortable, linens were fully stocked and cozy. Even staples in the kitchen for your un-thought of or ad hoc needs. Located about 10 minute drive from downtown, great location. Wonderful backyard for hanging outside. Nothing but praise!

Ah....mazing! Outstanding property.!!!
Wow! When I saw this property online I knew I had hit the jackpot & boy was that prediction on point. Lynette has lovingly & creatively restored this 1885 home into a masterpiece. Her attention to detail is astounding. There is nothing she hasn't thought of. Her place is a feast for the eyes wherever they may wander. The antiques are amazing & the entire property is impeccably clean. There were certainly many wows out of our mouths & we would love to stay in this home forever. Run do not walk to book this property. You will want for nothing. Nice linens & towels, locally made snacks & Keuig pods o plenty, grass fed yogurt & organic milk in the fridg. A great sound box by Marshall....amazing sound. A quiet backyard retreat complete with table, chairs, & grill. The list goes on & on & on.... We flew in from Montana for a concert & wanted to stay close to the venue. The "Whittier Wonder" house elevated our trip to a whole other level. We will definitely stay here again assuming it's available. I foresee this home bring booked up once the word is out. Thanks Lynette!

Perfect Pinterest House
My husband and I so enjoyed this beautifully remodeled and furnished house in a Denver neighborhood close to town. You get to live in the history of Denver. The street parking was no problem and always close. The owner of this house took great pride making this the perfect lodging for exploring her town and state. It was so cleverly furnished with bits from history, I felt like posting every view from every room on Pinterest. With three bedrooms (all upstairs sharing a very nice bathroom), a family or small group of friends can live comfortably while exploring Denver or close parts of Colorado. The kitchen was cute with a bistro table but also a full dining room. Two small living areas were nicely done, one having a TV and the other for conversation. The half bath on the main floor was handy. We enjoyed sitting in the patio furniture in the fenced in back yard each evening. The house is nicely accommodated with plenty of linens for all guests and even a laundry closet. This is not a big house but each room is perfectly used to accommodate every need. It would seem smaller with more people but was absolutely roomy for the two of us. I've rented many houses for travel over the years, but this one stands out by far. I would book it first on my next trip to Denver. Thanks for letting us stay in your home, Lynette; I appreciate all your work to transform this labor of love into the perfect home away for all us travelers!

Some issues the owner needs to know:
My truck was vandalized.
A neighbor rudely instructed where to park.
The house was not as clean as it should have been.
Lynnette has thought of everything! The house is great with feasts for the eyes everywhere you look. We enjoyed our stay so much and look forward to being there the next time!
Thanks, Lynette!
Beautifully restored home with every amenity possible
Fantastic stay with lynette at the Whittier Wonder. Amazing attention to detail in the restoration. Extremely well located and comfortable with high end appliances and fixtures. Very enjoyable stay.
The Whittier Wonder lived up to its name. Check in was a breeze, home was immaculate and incredibly decorated. We've stayed in places all over the world but this one felt like home. Thank you Lynette!
Lynette, is a super host and a wonderful person. Did everything to make are stay pleasant. The pictures on her site doesn't do this home justification. This renovation was a project of love and it shows in the finished product. and her staging of her home is of JoAnna Gaines caliber. Looking forward to going back to Denver to stay here again, not sure if I should take my wife. It might cost me several honey-does
We had a lovely stay at the Whittier Wonder- super clean, comfortable and fascinating attention to detail with regards to the brilliant renovation. We’d stay again in a heartbeat!
