About the Hospital
Children's Hospital Colorado
Children's Hospital Colorado is consistently ranked among the top children's hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Located on the Anschutz Medical Campus, it provides comprehensive pediatric care to children from across the region.
Why Families Need Nearby Lodging
When a child is hospitalized, parents need to be close. Families travel from across Colorado and beyond for specialized pediatric surgeries, cancer treatment, NICU stays, and complex diagnoses. Having affordable lodging nearby means parents can be at their child's bedside without the financial strain of hotel stays.
Denver Mennonite Guest Home provides an affordable, home-like alternative to hotels and extended-stay lodging near Children's Hospital. Whether you're traveling from out of state or across Colorado for medical care, our nonprofit guest home gives families a comfortable place to rest — with a full kitchen, private rooms, and no minimum stay.
Please note: While our standard stay is up to two weeks, NICU and pediatric cancer families often need to stay longer. Contact us to talk through your situation — we'll do our best to accommodate.
Lodging During Treatment
Where to Stay While Your Child Is in the NICU or Pediatric Cancer Treatment
When a child is in the hospital, parents want to be close — often for weeks at a time. Denver Mennonite Guest Home is about 20–25 minutes from Children's Hospital Colorado on the Anschutz Medical Campus, giving families an affordable place to rest, regroup, and stay near their child.
NICU stays
A baby in the NICU can mean weeks or months of daily visits. We offer private rooms and on-site laundry so parents can settle in close to the hospital, and we can extend stays beyond our usual two weeks by arrangement.
Pediatric cancer treatment
Children receiving chemotherapy or other cancer care at Children's Colorado often travel from across the region for repeated treatment cycles. A full kitchen lets families prepare familiar meals and keep some normalcy during a hard time.
Room for the whole family
Siblings are welcome. Our shared family living area gives brothers and sisters a place to be together, and a quiet home environment helps everyone rest between hospital visits.
Affordable for long stays
At a suggested donation of $50 per night, with no one turned away, families can stay near their child without the financial strain of weeks in a hotel.
As a Mennonite nonprofit, our hope is simply to walk alongside families during a frightening season — offering a comfortable, caring home base just a short drive from your child's bedside.
