About this property
Bright & Cozy Cottage- Serene Artist’s Home
This charming & dreamy artist's home is a tranquil escape close to shops, hikes, restaurants, old town, and public transport. Our home has been lovingly renovated with an understated elegance; cozy, full of natural light & character. We have a well-appointed kitchen, free off-street parking, huge back deck, outdoor grill, basement home theater, Free high-speed WiFi, and full washer & dryer. Upstairs Master Suite has a queen bed + huge soaking tub. Fenced yard + dog friendly (please inquire ahead about extra fees).
We think of our home as our "Enchanted Forest Cottage" in a quiet neighborhood, a backyard that has well-established pine trees, and beautiful landscaping. There is a spacious Master Suite that feels like it is in a tree house. Regina is an artist, gardener, and tidying coach so there is lavish beauty throughout. The home is well-organized and very clean.
Sleeping: The Master Suite upstairs has a Queen-sized bed with a memory foam mattress. It is a fairly large open space upstairs with plenty of room for a pack-and-play for a little one or an extra air mattress if desired. In our home office on the main floor we have a bunk-bed with a futon double bed + top single bed. The basement has a home theater and, upon request, we can set up a very comfortable queen-sized air mattress with Memory Foam Topper. (When our nieces & nephews stay over they love converting the big couches into a fort and sectioning off their own little nooks!)
Bath & Kitchen: We have a newly renovated kitchen with premium appliances, including a gas stove and double-oven, Keurig, Blendtec blender, etc. Our bathrooms are updated as well. There is a shower + toilet on the main floor. Upstairs, in the Master Suite, we have a double vanity, extra large soaking spa tub, and separate room for the toilet. Our Tankless Water Heater ensures hot water for all!
Pets: We love dogs and are happy to welcome them if they are not destructive and/or loud enough to disrupt our neighbors. We have a nice fenced in yard for them to enjoy, a beautiful walking path around the lake just a few blocks away, and several dog parks nearby. Sadly we are allergic to kitties so we cannot accommodate them :( We do have pet policies and an extra pet deposit of $250/week. Please inquire and let us know details about your furry companion!
Guest Access: You will have private access to the full home with the exception of the garage and unfinished basement which we use for storage. You may park in the driveway or on the street in front of the house. There is a keyless entry so you are welcome to come and go as you please. We are a call or text away and are available to help with any concerns you may have.
Location: We are located 1 mile from Old Town Lafayette, 3 miles from Old Town Louisville, 10 miles from downtown Boulder, and 20 miles of downtown Denver. Our home within walking distance of 3 parks for children, a scenic walking path around a lake, an awesome pub with a food truck, a local farm "stand" (Isabelle Farm), restaurants, grocery, shops, Lafayette Old Town, and more!

About the host
Hosted by Regina & Jay Mountjoy

We are both Colorado natives, entrepreneurs, and love to travel! We grew up together and have been married for 15 years. We love our rescued cattle dogs, U2 fans, sci-fi/fantasy geeks. Jay is a renaissance man: he runs his own tech company, plays basketball, guitar, and dances! Regina is a portrait and botanic photographer, professional tidying guru, and avid gardener!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the open floor plan of this home and beautiful natural light throughout. It was a disaster when we purchased the home but we knew it had potential! We basically gutted it down to the studs and created our own little dream home! We put in rustic grey barn-wood floors, exposed beams in the kitchen, all white kitchen cabinets with soft-close hinges, beautiful lighting on dimmers and on remote- all the little touches that make Regina so happy! We redesigned the upstairs to be a private master suite rather than leaving it as two small bedrooms and a tiny bath. It has such pretty light and the huge tub is so wonderful!! Although the home is in a neighborhood, it feels quiet with the big established pine trees, a backyard humming with birds and pollinators. It is right around the corner from shops but still feels tucked away so we have the best of both worlds. We LOVE to travel and stay in people's homes all over the world so we thought it would be fun to share our home with others as well! We have two pups that we adore so we want to welcome our guest's dogs as well. If you are visiting in the summer/fall season, on the side of the house is a "cutting garden bed" full of flowers for making fresh bouquets and herbs for cooking so you can help yourselves! We also just added a huge back deck and it is so lovely to sit out and watch the birds and have our meals in the warm sun!
