About this property

Best location in the heart of Glenwood...see inside our BIG small town history

Stay in downtown Glenwood Springs just steps from Glenwood's best restaurants, nearly every activity is within easy walking distance. This 1500 sq ft, 2 bedroom unit built in the late 1800's is located upstairs in what was once the Palace Hotel. It has been completely renovated with some of the old things still in tact. Look at the doors; they are the original ones from the 1890's with the room numbers still on them. Doc Holiday is rumored to have stayed here. If you are coming from the Front Range consider taking Amtrak as the train station is only 2 blocks from the Watersweeper Loft. No hassles with Glenwood Canyon.

Going up the stairs you will find yourself on a great, large deck with a stone top table ,firepit and BBQ grill. Go thru the door into the enclosed sun porch and sitting area. Enter the main door and you are in the old hotel hallway. On the left is western bedroom with a queen bed. On the right is the master bedroom with a king bed occupying what was once two hotel rooms. Next is the bath and laundry. There is a Soaking tub and vanity in one room and a shower and vanity in another room. In the front you will find a complete kitchen with everything you could need and the dining room-living room area to complete the wonderful Loft with a great blend of old and new. The unit is registered with the City of Glenwood Springs and is in compliance with the short term rental regulations. Glenwood Springs Permit #18-047

Spent two days in this beauty. When you go in, please be aware that this is a building from the late 1800's so expecting everything to be in tip top shape is silly. Love that it is so central and right in the middle of their downtown, close to everything. Utilized the patio with heater and it as very nice.

Fantastic location in the heart of Glenwood Springs

Gorgeous property excellent location!

Beautiful old world details that retain the charm of what was once a historic hotel. Very comfortable beds! The best part of this property though was its location! Just on the other side of the building is the pedestrian plaza with multiple places to eat, shop or meet friends for a drink. Thrilled with our choice on this one.

Great location

Great place to stay. The location is amazing; right in the middle of the restaurant area, but still very quiet at night. Bathroom is a little dated, but the owners will be updating it later this year. Note that while there are two bathrooms, there is only one toilet. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great location

The location could not have been better for easy access to downtown activities. It was nicely furnished, clean, and the beds were comfortable. Great deck with views and a fire pit. The building is historic and there were a few quirks because of that, but the remodel was done well and the location is awesome. I would definitely recommend this place and will stay there again next time I'm in Glenwood Springs.

Location can't be beat

Quirky but comfortable apartment smack dab in the middle of downtown Glenwood Springs. Perfect location if you're taking the train in and walking, as we were. Fantastically comfortable beds, cool deck for sitting by the fire and stargazing, and the owner was very helpful and responsive. (My only quibble is that 1 1/2 rolls of toilet paper is NOT enough for four women for a whole weekend!)

Historic Glenwood

Cozy historic property in the heart of Glenwood Springs. We loved being able to walk to most everything. It was very cute and clean. Be sure to bring your own shampoo and body wash, as it is not provided. The bathroom situation is a bit different with one toilet for the two bathrooms, but it worked fine for us.

Unbeatable location!

The check-in was easy and seamless. Having dedicated parking was fantastic! You could not ask for a better location. In the heart of the old town area with lots of restaurants, coffee, and drinks readily available. Very close to the Amtrak station. Easy walking distance to the Hot Springs. The kitchen was well appointed, and it was very roomy with good privacy for people. The balcony was fantastic to sit outside and sitting in the living room, watching the main street action and listening to the music outside really is a home run! We will definitely be back.

Unique place in a great location

Cute place right on the main street near restaurants and shops. Loved the walkability! Dedicated parking space in back near the entrance. Stocked with good cookware and dishes. Really nice dining room table and chairs. Comfortable beds with clean linens. Steep old steps to entrance - hold onto the railing. Unusual setup of 3 bathroom sink areas and one toilet; step up to shower a bit sketchy, some maintenance needed (light switch in bathroom had broken button so had to poke a tiny part with your fingernail to turn on the light and bedroom closet door off the hinges), but owner is planning renovation and that will be fixed. Met the owner working in a shop downstairs - very friendly.

Glenwood beauty

At the front door of apartment was 5 canisters of used oxygen tanks! Very strange! Called management and they said they were supposed to be removed after last guest. They never were so we stacked them neatly by stairs. Not a place to stay if you are not fit and able as getting out of shower was a 4in step and then the floor. Having said that it is beautifully decorated and cozy. Oh the back smaller bedroom has leaning lumpy matress. King bed was great! Great access to restaurants and some shopping.

Downtown loft

Overall good place if you like to be downtown. We walked from Amtrak and walked to restaurants. We took Ride Glenwood bus to Iron Mountain Hot Springs. We could not find a local grocery or convenience store. While we had a coffee maker, no coffee. The back steps and chairs on patio were filthy (as well as the hallway carpet). Not a good first impression. But the bathrooms and kitchen were clean and the bed comfortable. Best feature was the back deck. We enjoyed star gazing. Could not get the gas firepit to work. We did not call on this, but I would have loved a fire. This could be a 5 star if better stocked (like coffee, kleenex, laundry soap, bar soap), carpet cleaned or replaced, and stairs and patio swept.

Great location with some wear and tear

Really enjoyed our trip to Glenwood Springs. This unit is in prime location. Walking to the hot springs and short drives to adventure park and hanging lake. You are right in downtown by the water so all restaurants are within 2 mins of leaving the apartment. The unit itself is updated in some ways and still has a charming appeal to it. We only received a half roll of paper towels and 1 garbage bag. There was no luck getting a hold of the property owner/manager despite our calls. The bathroom is also pretty dated and in separate rooms (shower is in one room with a sink....different room has laundry, toilet, and tub). Parking spot comes with the unit in the back, but not made for bigger car (we had a jeep gladiator and it was a job getting in and out when the car was parked next to us in the other spot). Also, note that while it was great to be right in downtown, we dealt with a significant number of homeless and beggers (especially from dinner time and later) under the overpass which is where all the restaurants are located. We ended up spending nights in the room playing cards.
