My grandparents lived out there in a community outside Denver in Brighton called Van Aire. Great place, but I haven't been there in 10-15 years, so can't really say anything about restaurants and stuff to do.
But two towns I always recommend are Salida and Colorado Springs. Salida has a cool community feel with lots of small shops, art work, galleries, walking areas. May be further than you're looking to be from Denver. Th other is Colorado Springs, which is more of the resort town people think of usually with a little more privacy, more upscale places to eat. Both are beautiful, but for different reasons.
