Serve yourself local beers, either sampling 1 ounce at a time, or full pints. It's expensive, but it's fun to explore tasters at your own pace.

4 blocks from the house, nice open areas and a winding 3 mile walking/biking trail, with great mountain and city views. Some guests say that watching the sun set is a "must do".
"In 1861, Thomas M. Sloan dug a well to irrigate his West Denver farmland. Overnight the well flooded 200 acres. This is the local legend about the mysterious origins of what is now Sloan Lake. " Denver Life Magazine. com

10min Lyft from the house, this place offers open spaces, a nice view of Denver, and lots of food options. Basically, food trucks back up to the restaurant, and serve their dishes in a common area on the first floor.

City/town information
As a town, Denver has really branched out from the Downtown/Lo-do area - which is very tourist-centered. To get a feel for the 'real' Denver, explore the neighborhoods: Baker for grungy, Lower Highlands (Lo-Hi) and Uptown for upscale foods, Wash Park's Gaylord street for a local family feel, and River North (Ri-No... I know - our abbreviations are annoying) for a very disorganized community of bars, breweries, restaurants, shopping, and community markets.
