Super cute space! It was cozy for the two of us! The hot tub was in excellent shape and super clean as well as the living space. The location was close to all of our outings and our host was very hospitable! Thank you for a great weekend!
I would love to keep the Art Studio my little secret so I can keep it all to myself, but Tonia is such a nice person that I will do her a kindness by writing a review. It's an absolutely wonderful place especially if you have pets. It's very artsy, well-appointed & clean with Tonia's work posted throughout. There are French doors on two sides bordered by a lovely yard & garden big enough for our dogs to run & romp around. The fireplace makes it so cozy & warm if there's a chill. The neighborhood is full of historic homes, very walkable, with plenty of small eateries & shops. We loved it!
We mainly booked and enjoyed our stay because it was quite, good hot tube, space for our dog to roam around, interesting things to looks at and cozy fireplace to enjoy. All in all we came back refreshed, host even offered longer stay but we had to get back and clean house after the power outages, otherwise we would have stayed longer :)
Very nice clean place to stay. We walked all over the neighborhood and to Coors Field. There were always many people and dogs out and about. We would stay again.

Thank you William, I enjoyed hosting you, your wife, and your amazing Zoe pup! Come back anytime.
We really loved everything about Tonia’s place. The location, her amazing art, the space and the dreamy outdoor space. She was a wonderful host and I’m so grateful her place was so accommodating for our two dogs.
Fantastic rental experience overall. Studio was just as described and spotless, with a gorgeous backyard. Safe, quiet neighborhood as well. Had great communication from the owner as well. Would be happy to rent again. Thanks!
We had a great stay at Tonia's! The Steampunk studio was in a great location and well stocked. Walking distance from many restaurants and stores. Tonia was very communicative and accommodating of anything we needed.

Thank you Nora, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Welcome back anytime.
Loved the place - it was perfect for my 4 day stay in Denver. Close to grocery store, restaurants & bars, but quiet. Great yard, too! Will definitely return.
Great location close to LoHi. Gorgeous property and yard. Lots of beautiful flowers and yard was beautiful. One of my favorite places I have ever stayed. Rocking porch swing, fire pits and hot tub. Cottage was darling with local artwork and some antiques that reminds you of your childhood. It’s simply Perfect! Can’t wait to stay here again!

Thank you Amy, it was a pleasure to host you all. I am especially fond of your puppy, Ace. Hope to meet you all again on your next trip to Denver!
Tonia was the most amazing host of the most amazing place. Fun and funky, great light, great location! The walkability of the neighborhood was awesome. Our pup enjoyed the big yard and we enjoyed breathing in respite with all the beauty both inside and outside this wonderfully unique place. We’ll be back!!!

Thank you Kathleen, come back anytime, I’d love to host you all again!
Adorable and eclectic artist’s cottage in the historic Potter Highlands neighborhood— lovely yard and terrace, easy to get around the city from this location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Our stay was perfect for our weekend getaway. It was in a quiet neighborhood, easy to find and access. Close to downtown and the ball field and the football stadium. Definitely will be staying here again when we come back to town.
Great property! Perfectly located to get into downtown Denver quickly. The property had everything we needed, comfortable sleeping and some amazing outdoor space. Would highly recommend!!!
We had a great stay at the Artist Studio. The space was clean and surprisingly spacious. The location is perfect for someone wanting to go to the LODO area. Host was personable and communicated quickly. Would recommend and stay again.
The artist studio was perfect. Plenty of room for my husband and I. Great yard, lovely gardens with plenty of restaurant options nearby. But also close enough to downtown that Uber cost we’re super reasonable. Great vibe, highly recommend!
Wonderful location, quiet neighborhood. Comfortable and well equipped. Grounds are lovely. Host was attentive. Great experience overall.

About the host
Hosted by Tonia Zambrano
I am a sculptor, painter, and photographer. I write and pretend to be a good cook. I love to travel and try new things I've never done before.
Why they chose this property
This precious Victorian (main house) was built in 1880. It is a family home, bought in the 1970s. Potter Highlands was one of the original cities in old Denver back in the mid-1800s and was developed by Irish, Italian, and Scottish immigrants who moved here during the gold and silver rush. There's some amazing history in this very quaint neighborhood. It's a magical property, and it's located in a great city. There's so much to do in Denver and it's right at your fingertips from this central location.
What makes this property unique
As an artist, I have added artistic accents throughout the property, from the gated entry to the backyard oasis to the copper gutters with custom-made rain chains. I designed and built the additions, pergolas, custom millwork, fences, gates, etc. Everyone who comes here says they feel at home. I hope you will too.
