Traveler advice

Book before you go

Museum Special Exhibits

Special exhibits at the Denver Art Museum and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science are often sold out - recommend you book those in advance.
What to pack

Weather and Using Layers

The weather here really can change significantly. We're known for over 300 days of sunshine, but we can go from 80 degrees to 18 degrees in less than two days. Locals highly recommend dressing in layers to accommodate changing weather.
Customs and culture

Dispensaries

Colorado legalized pot years ago. We ask that if you purchase pot, please be responsible and keep in mind our non smoking policy at our townhouse. Of the many dispensary options we recommend two within ess asl king distance - Simply Pure Denver Dispensary on West 32nd Avenue at 16th Street, and LoDo Wellness Center on Wazee near Union Station. Please keep in mind the various laws prohibiting you from transporting pot out of Colorado. Cash only in Colorado.
