Unless you’re a Denver elite or live in the suburbs, finding a pool in or near the city is next to impossible. Swimply – a self-proclaimed Airbnb adaptation for swimming pools – allows users to book pool sessions by the hour, day, or weekend, all within walking or driving distance of town. So you can escape the scorching Tony Montana style during this record heat.

The truth : Just a 45-minute drive from Denver, Golden has acquired a knack for craft beer and moderate hiking trails that pay off with stunning views.

For $ 45 an hour, you can host a small meeting while soaking up the sun and spectacular views of the verdant Golden Mountains. Enjoy a peaceful swim nestled in the foothills and watch out for passers-by in the woods.

The truth : Looks like the Sopranos are on a business trip. About a 20-minute drive from Denver, this private pool house in Centennial features an indoor kitchen, outdoor barbecue, TV, mini-bar, sauna, and … oh, there’s also a foosball table, among other fancies. . This mat is pool party certified, and the host even encourages it on the list: “When the pool table is taken out, it can be used as a mini dance floor. The only downside to this place is that the maximum capacity is only eight people, so you will have to choose your dance fight partners wisely.

The truth : It’s a great family weekend all season long. Poolside parties are permitted and have a sound system. However, the host encourages guests to be respectful of neighbors and be aware of noise levels. With mountain views, a waterfall and a cave, it’s perfect for a day of relaxation.

The truth : Hosts Ned & Ann cater to all pool party requirements, and more. With a maximum of 75 guests allowed, a volleyball court, slide, and speaker system sitting on a 2.5 acre property, good luck finding the Polo at your Marco here. Not to mention that the views are suitable for a king.

The truth : This is the country of the suburbs and soccer moms so you can’t have a blast, but it is suitable for a more family function. The host allows poolside parties and there are no alcohol rules, but smoking is not permitted and written consent is required for parties / events prior to arriving. The backyard has options like the corn hole and ladder golf course, so whether you’re a little buzzy or ten, there’s something to keep you entertained.

The truth : If you’d rather stay in town, head to the heart of it at this location close to downtown. With a contemporary backyard, capacity for 13, and a large outdoor area with a large swimming pool, this is a tough choice to make for a decent meeting. Poolside parties are allowed and the host has no specific alcohol, tobacco, or music rules. With that in mind, remember that you are still in town and near a residential property. So everyone can still hear and smell you.
