Lakewood Colorado Vacation Rentals

Exploration of all that Lakewood, Colorado has to offer requires stamina. Luckily, this community is brimming with an assortment of culinary delights to keep you fueled for adventure.

Start your day off right with a visit to local favorite Carnation Restaurant. Daily breakfast specials, featuring Southwestern staples like huevos rancheros and breakfast burritos, are plentiful and served up in a classic American diner atmosphere. ​

When dinner time rolls around, look no further than 240 Union. A team of chefs creates seasonal menus incorporating local products, their diverse backgrounds, and culinary ingenuity. The menu promotes family-style communal dining and delivers elevated comfort food. The cioppino and veal shank ragu Torchio are absolute favorites.

House rentals allow visitors the unique opportunity of having nightlife delivered to their door. Rocky Mountain Escape Rooms delivers a mobile problem-solving experience, with a camper or bus delivered to your vacation home in Lakewood. Great for family reunions and corporate retreats, your group will have to use teamwork and detective skills to escape.

Likewise, you can design a unique party bus tour for your group with The Comedy Wagon. Book a private tour, and the wagon will whisk you off to explore the brew and comedy scenes of Lakewood and West Denver. Avoid the driving and parking hassles and hop on the wagon for a night of libations and hilarious fun.

Finally, anyone visiting Lakewood should be checking the concert schedule for Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater. This amazing geologically-formed amphitheater and surrounding park draw crowds and entertainers from around the globe. Gorgeous scenery, brilliant sunsets, and stunning night skies create a concert experience unlike any that you will find elsewhere.

Lakewood is one of those rare places that give visitors equal parts of outdoor and city adventure. The town, sitting at 5,500 feet above sea level, is less than an hour's drive from some world-class ski resorts and offers plenty of hiking and mountain biking. However, it remains a vibrant city with all the art and culture one would expect to find. ​

Green Mountain Trail is a 6.5-mile loop, located in Lakewood's William F Hayden Green Mountain Park. Popular with hikers and mountain bikers, the trail is rated moderate with a gradual 1,000-foot elevation gain. Along the trail, hikers and bikers encounter stunning views of the Denver skyline, the distant mountain ranges, and Red Rocks.

Challenging hikes work up a mighty thirst. You'll want to quench it at the newest addition to Lakewood's growing brew scene. Old 121 Brewhouse​offers seasonally inspired brews and unique events in collaboration with other local vendors. You never know what you will find, be it Pilates and Pints, the Pop-up Meat Market, or Nama-Stay for a Drink Yoga Class.

Since 2010 the Lakewood has been highlighting local artists and artisans with a 10-day festival. INSPIRE Arts Week brings the public and art community together for lectures, interactive productions, classes, and various showings and presentations. Take a trip out of your house rentals and get inspired!

A slightly different take on local offerings exposes residents and visitors to the agricultural heritage of Lakewood. One weekend in October, Cider Days honors the history of the area with two days of family-friendly events. Farmers display their fall crops, bakers compete in an apple pie baking contest, and heritage artisans demonstrate crocheting, quilting, chair caning, and more. Undoubtedly, kids of all ages will be delighted with the unmissable trick pig and stunt dog shows!
