About this property

Our charming and dreamy artist's home is a tranquil escape minutes away from Lake Waneka, shops, hikes, restaurants, Old Town, and public transport. Our home is lovingly furnished with a shabby chic farmhouse design, lots of natural light, and an open floor plan. Well-stocked kitchen, free off-street and driveway parking, huge back yard, home theater, free & fast WiFi, full w/d, and quiet safe neighborhood. We can sleep up to 7 guests. 3 bedrooms upstairs -queen, bunkbed, and pull-out day bed. Fenced yard + dog friendly. Open for longer stays & short-term rentals during the winter. - Note: We primarily live in the attached garage apartment which is extra sound-proofed and has a separate side entrance. Our guests rarely see or hear us and we are available if anything comes up. Guests have exclusive access to the driveway and backyard. The door to our studio stays locked for the entirety of our guest stays. Past guest references are available if you have any concerns or questions. :)

The space
We love our sweet home in a quiet neighborhood just minutes away from all the big shops. Our extra-large backyard has well-established trees, patio seating, lots of room to run, and a fire pit. The master bedroom upstairs with a small private bathroom with a shower 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.

Three bedrooms upstairs:
1)The main bedroom upstairs has a Queen-sized bed with a hybrid memory foam mattress for the ultimate nights sleep and a small private bathroom with a shower. 2) There is a bunk bed with a full-size mattress and single mattress across the hall. 3) The smallest bedroom has a single trundle bed that can convert into a king-size that fills the room. The lower "sunken" den/family room has a home theater big comfy couch, a recliner chair, and a walkout to the backyard.

Gas Range and Ice Maker in the fully stocked kitchen with semi-new appliances and a stocked Keurig.

Full bathroom off the upstairs hall and a shower off the main bedroom. Full-size washer and dryer in the upstairs hallway, complete with all the laundry supplies you could wish for.

We love dogs and are happy to welcome one guest dog under 50 pounds if they are well-behaved and crate-trained. We do have several pet etiquette policies and an extra pet fee of $20/night. Please inquire and let us know details about your furry companion.

We VRBO both of our homes next door to each other! Both are now available for extended longer stays / short-term rental during the winter months with discounted rates! Book both for a family holiday or reunion- a perfect option for family holidays when family members need a little space! ;)

And, YES, we are well stocked with toilet paper and cleaning supplies. :)

Dream house!

Regina has thought of everything. The house is well-appointed. We walked in to a clean, inviting, cozy, safe, lovely home. My kids loved it! Any little thing I thought of Regina had already made sure was present in the house. Our stay was a breeze with no hassle or unexpected twists.

Great place to land for a difficult trip.

My siblings and I came to CO to see our brother who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We needed a place to gather close to his home and fortunately we found this house. It had everything we needed and then some. It was clean and comfortable with a great backyard; the perfect place to come back to after a difficult day. Thank you.

Perfect Family Home

We absolutely loved our stay in this home. For the friends and family we were there to visit, this home's location was perfect and no further than 30 minutes from anything we needed to do! I was a bit nervous going into our stay with the note that the owners lived on the property (in the attached garage), but this was not even a slight issue for us during our entire week's stay! I didn't hear a single noise, and our family still felt like we had more than enough privacy. If anything, I was more worried that the owners would have to hear our twin infants crying and hoped that would not disturb anyone. Our hosts were perfectly great and had zero complaints--so we were truly able to enjoy the space and all it had to offer! Not to mention, our dogs and 3 year old loved the large backyard. The house had so many thoughtful touches that made staying there a breeze (fridge and pantry staples, washer/dryer, bathroom supplies, etc.). If we are ever in the area again, we'd stay here in a heartbeat!

Great Getaway!

The place was very clean and in a great location! We loved our time there and our pups loved the fenced in back yard. The host lives on the property and was very easy to communicate with. Great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Regina & Jay Mountjoy

We are both Colorado natives, entrepreneurs, and LOVE to travel! Married for 16 years, love our rescued cattle dogs, U2 fans, sci-fi/fantasy geeks. Jay is a renaissance man: 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 listed our home on VRBO as an experiment. Turns out we loved it! And so did our guests! After a year of living with our parents and friends so others could stay in our home, we did something "odd." We rented our neglected neighbor's house so Regina could tend to the garden and we could be close by to turn the house over between guests. We made this house our "new" home. We painted, repaired, loved, and furnished it. And by some miracle, almost a year later, we were able to purchase it! So now we own two homes next door to each other! (Family reunion, anyone?)

Right away we set about converting the garage into a tiny studio apartment that we can squirrel away in while our homes are booked by guests. Believe you me, a whole lot was invested in making that space SOUND PROOF and with a separate "hidden" entrance. Yes, we may be "on-site" so we can attend to anything you need AND our intention is that you won't even know we're close by.

We love our quiet, family-friendly neighborhood that is within walking distance of craft brew pubs, shops, and restaurants. We love walking to our local farm-store, parks, and around Waneka Lake at sunset. We are close to all our neighbors so don't be surprised when people and their pups stroll by and welcome you!

Please enjoy our home as a place to recharge and soak up Colorado's beauty and Regina's Flower Portraiture art throughout!
