About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Front Range Colorado. Gateway to the Rockies, Historic Downtown Area

This sweet original, 1937 Private One Bedroom Small Apartment with efficiency kitchen is up 7 steps from the home with its own private entrance and space. In the kitchen you will have updated copper counter tops. The kitchen has many amenities and efficiency appliances that include a convection toaster oven, a small refrigerator and freezer, (a larger one is available for your use in the laundry room) a dishwasher, air fryer and induction plate and microwave. Everything you need is here to cook your own food. Included is a small electric grill out in the garden. Laundry is available and I supply the sheets of soap and use wool balls for softener. Beautiful Downtown Loveland is walking distance away (7 blocks) as is Lake Loveland, the River Walk and River's Edge Ponds where fishing is available with a license. Lots of storage space and closet space is included. Umbrellas are available for the rare days it rains. The farmers market which is on Sunday is a short drive away at Fairgrounds Park. My guesthouse is Air Conditioned and comfortably heated. This listing has shared access to the all outdoor garden seating areas which include a screened in porch with a table and chairs and glider. There is an outdoor table with chairs and umbrella, a bistro set by your entrance and on your deck and a private area in the shade under the spruce tree, as well as a private front deck with a bistro set to watch the world go by. I live in the home but strive to maintain your privacy and am often away. My home will be on the Loveland Garden and Art Tour this year on June 14th, so you will be treated to a reconditioned garden. This is the 3rd time it will be on the tour first in 2006, then 2013 and then 2025. Included in the home, guesthouse and garden are hundreds of pieces of art. Many of them are created by local artists. A lot of the garden art was bought on the Loveland Garden and Art Tours. I garden organically and maintain compost piles for your use when you are here. I strive to keep my water use down planting low water plants when at all possible and using drip watering for most of the garden. You will have a lovely pond to sit by when you want to relax. It is often visited by wildlife, why just this Spring I have witnessed a pair of mallard ducks on the pond, a turkey, and a coppers hawk standing by the pond. I try to keep small fish in the pond, but feel guilty when a blue heron swoops in to claim them, but what a sight that is to see. When you arrive, you will park in a Private well lit garden alley entrance and have your own entrance to the property. This beautiful space is close to the Sprouts, Natural Grocers and Safeway. It is a short driving distance to the famous Benson Sculpture Park and Chapunga Sculpture Park. It is only an easy 10 minutes to get into the Big Thompson Canyon, the gateway to Estes Park. We are in the downtown, so be aware there is a train that sometimes goes by two blocks away. Many people like the train but if you are a light sleeper I have for you a light noise machine and earplugs. It usually only goes through once at night and many guests love the evocative sound of the I have had one guest comment they did not. OF NOTE, THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR VERY TALL GUESTS, AS IT HAS LOWER CEILINGS, though it is very light and airy. I would say if you are over 6 ft 3 you will be ducking to get through doorways. Please make reservations to visit RMNP from May to October. There is timed entry. I have a list of hikes from my friend who is a ranger available to you when you arrive. I am a very active person and have a lot of recommendations if you want to go other places that are close. Fort Collins for instance has Lory State Park and Horsetooth Reservoir, these are about 30-35 minutes away from here. Wyoming is a great place to visit, specifically Cheyenne and Laramie, both about an hour away.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be within walking distance of Devil's Backbone Open Space. A water park and laundry facilities are available. The apartment offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Lovely Home

I booked this listing as a present to my fiance for his return from the military. I loved the garden from the pictures and let me tell you, it's gorgeous in person. The home owner, Lynn, wasn't present for the first day, a very kind woman named Annika showed us around and helped us with finding the parking spot. She even gave us a nice welcome basket Lynn had set up for us with wine and snacks. Something that isn't shown in the listing is how small the inside is. It wasn't a problem for me, and luckily it was just us two which made it much more cozier and romantic, but my fiance had to duck in most of the house since he couldn't fit lol. If you stand above 6'1, you might have some difficulties. Something else to mention is that the listing says something about a hot tub, but I couldn't find one on the property. I wasn't interested so I didn't speak to Lynn about it, but maybe it was put away since the weather is getting colder. As mentioned, Lynn does live on the property, however, the listing is separate from her part of the home, and you have complete privacy. The home had everything we needed, Lynn has various items available such as soap and utensils, we were even able to use the grill on the patio and enjoy the beautiful scenery while eating dinner! Overall, I would give this listing 10/10, we had a wonderful time, and the beautiful garden and great amenities made it worth much more than I paid. Thank you again Lynn for such a great weekend!

Short getaway in Loveland

It was a perfect getaway in Northern Colorado. The apartment was as cute as described including the amazing garden area. Lynn's poetry was a nice touch to go with all the artwork. We also enjoyed how close this was to the downtown area with the great local restaurants - completely walkable.

Lynn has created a beautiful nest to explore the area! Walking distance to town with locally owned restaurants, shops, and a movie theater. There is a lake also within walking distance. Short driving distance to Fort Collins and Estes Park. The apartment was well appointed to take care of all our needs. Lynn had coffee and muffins waiting for us when we arrived.

Charming, thoughtful, perfect

I couldn't have found a better spot for this trip. First and foremost, Lynn was accommodating and flexible; the logistics of the stay barely registered as something to consider. Next, the space itself is delightfully cozy (and very intentionally curated to facilitate a wide variety of guests) and no photos could do justice to the majesty of that back yard. =) I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to reach out to Lynn about this delightful place if needed a place for an extended stay in the area. It was that comfy, easy, and complete. Thank you, Lynn!
