About this property

Charming 1910 House on Main Street - Beautiful Landscaped Yard

This charming 1910 house is on the main street in Old Town Lafayette. It is across the street from restaurants, a coffee shop and a few blocks from a rec center and Festival Plaza. It has a beautifully landscaped back yard. We have a wheelchair accessible, fully ADA compliant bathroom, shower and main room sleeping area.

Once a week there is a farmers market a few blocks down the street in the Lafayette Florist parking lot. Enjoy the park and walks around Waneka Lake, where paddle boats are available for rent between Memorial and Labor Day. Kids can enjoy running through the water fountain feature a few blocks down at Festival Plaza and have some ice cream at Eats and Sweets. The WOW! Children’s Museum is also just blocks away from our property. Later in the day, you can take advantage of several local breweries just a short walk away.

The Pearl Street Mall in Boulder is just 10 miles away along with hiking trails at the beautiful Chautauqua Park. Many ski areas such as Eldora, Winter Park, Breckenridge and Vail are just a one to two hour drive away.

My husband Pete and I have lived in Lafayette for many years. We love the Boulder county area and the people in this community. My dream was to provide a cozy lodging place for guests and especially the families of locals to stay while visiting.

We live just minutes away, and are always available to answer any questions you might have about the area or to help with anything you might need.

Susan was responsive and a great host. She made the check-in/out process easy and even accommodated an early check-in. I would definitely stay again. The property is on the main old town area of Lafayette and there were plenty of activities to do within walking distance. The property’s location made a nice break after a long days drive.

The House was the perfect haven for us as we attended a family gathering and wedding in Denver. It was clean, cozy and inviting and had one of the best kitchens I have seen in a vacation rental. All kinds of cooking utensils, spices and condiments. Our host was very helpful and prompt with answers to my questions. The location is right in the middle of "Old Town" Lafayette, with ready access to coffee, restaurants, and shopping. There's a wonderful farmer's market on Sunday morning. Although there's a lot of activity and traffic during the day, it quiets down completely at night. We enjoyed our coffee sitting on the front porch and in the beautiful back yard. Thank you for this restful home during our busy wedding week!

Beautiful home in a fantastic neighborhood

My friend and I stayed for a week, and truly enjoyed how beautiful the home was. It felt like a sanctuary. We appreciated how the hosts attended to small details, kept the sidewalks cleared of snow, and offered suggestions for what to see and do. The neighborhood was wonderful, with a wide variety of restaurants and spectacular open space areas within a very short walking distance. Thank you!

Perfect

Our family had a wonderful stay at Susan’s place! The home was very clean, organized and tastefully done. The location is right on the main road which is convenient, but also brings with it some traffic noise. Thankfully, it’s a pretty quiet little town and traffic slows down after 8:00pm. Susan was an excellent host. She was welcoming and communicated thoroughly. We will definitely look to stay at her place again in the future!

Hidden Treasure

I don't even know if I want to share my review. I may have competition trying to reserve next year. This house is a complete hidden treasure. This house is absolutely gorgeous, very quaint and comfortable. My family of 8 stayed for a week. We had plenty of room. The common areas are very roomy, the bedrooms are on the smaller end with double beds. We found it perfect to lay our heads at night since there was so much to do in walking distance. Very comfortable beds and full stocked home. Not the check the block stocked....but great non-stick pans and sharp knives which is always one of my complaints. As a family that travels at least once a month, this may be the best stay in 10 years. We will definitely book again.

The absolute best house in Lafayette! This house is adorable, charming, and makes you feel at home .

Our stay was perfect! The owner, Susan, was very hospitable from the very begining and even had a welcome care package for us when we arrived. This home could not be in a better location. Right in the center of Old Town Lafayette with a great coffee shop right across the street. And the porch and lovely back yard were the icing on the cake! We spent many evenings sitting on the porch and enjoying the very welcoming community . This home is also very well equiped with great quality linens and everything you need in the new kitchen. We can't wait to come back next summer and enjoy this beautifully decorated home. The owner's attention to detail in this home are clearly visible. Thank you Susan for sharing this property with the world, it is truly a gem!!!

Comfortable, spacious and clean

We feel so fortunate to have found this home to rent. We loved the location so close to Boulder but off the beaten track. Great old updated house. We used it more as a home base for hikes and excursions, and cooked some meals there, finding the kitchen to be well stocked and functional. Great showers. Better beds and linens. Owner Susan was very responsive and accommodating, even having the empty propane tank replaced asap when I told her it had run out. She gave us instructions for the fireworks show on Lake Waneka nearby, which really made our holiday. The lake is beautiful for a walk or run, and we were very excited to find it our first morning. The porch is a nice spot for coffee in the morning, and we had a cookout using the far back patio on the 4th of July. Grocery options are nearby. The bedrooms are small, but that seemed unimportant with the living space being large for the 4 of us. After reading so many positive reviews, I felt a little skeptical about it, but found it to be as nice as others had said. You can tell that Susan is local and has a hand in the quality of her property. We would rent it again if we get back to the area.

Charming and peaceful

What a wonderful and charming home. Upon arrival we were greeted with a charming home in a very charming walking neighborhood. We we’re grateful for the bowl of fresh fruit and chocolate that greeted us after our travel. The town of Lafayette was the real draw. Walks to morning coffee at the cafe, incredible restaurants, cute boutiques and shops. The town is quiet and charming. The house was clean and comfortable. The only thing was the beds are all small. My husband and I had to split up because it was hard to sleep in a double bed after years of sleeping in a king size bed. But I’d stay there again because of the town and the owners were extremely kind and accommodating. They let us check in early and that was the best! I’d 100% recommend staying here!!

About the host

Hosted by Susan d'Oronzio

Host profile image
My husband Pete and I have lived in Lafayette for many years. My husband grew up on the East Coast and I am originally from North Dakota. We met and married in Colorado in 1993. We love the Boulder county area and the people in this community. Our family enjoys hiking, biking, snow skiing, riding horses and most any outdoor activity. My dream was to provide a cozy lodging place for guests and especially the families of locals to stay while visiting. We wanted to provide a beautiful outdoor affordable space for people to have a small gathering or party. We have partnered with some amazing caterers that we would love to recommend if you have a special event in mind. (please contact us for catering and event pricing)

We live just minutes away, and are always available to answer any questions you might have about the area or to help with anything you might need.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 1996, about the time our first child was born, and opened a gift shop. Old Town Lafayette was starting a wonderful transition as the state highway was routed away from downtown. We wanted to be a part of this change as Public Road became walkable, new restaurants and brewpubs opened, and the properties nearby evolved.

Shortly after our second child was born, we decided to close the gift shop and began renting the property. It has been used as a vintage clothing store, a salon and most recently, an acupuncture office. It's taken some time for the town to come into its own, but it's almost to what we envisioned 20 years ago.

Now, traffic moves more slowly; the sidewalks are used later into the evenings; there are great places to dine, snack or just sit and watch kids play. We took over use of the property again in 2017 to create a nice place for visitors to stay and enjoy the town we've come to love.

What makes this property unique

We have a wheelchair accessible, fully ADA compliant bathroom, shower and sleeping area.

Our property is in the heart of Old Town Lafayette. It is located right on Main Street where you can sit on the front porch to people watch and listen to local musicians perform at the restaurant or coffee shop across the street. There is also a private sitting area on the back side of the house. The large,beautifully landscaped back yard is perfect for small events.

The House Inn Old Town serves as both a residential rental, and as a small event venue.

Residential Rental:
When booking through Home Away, the published rates apply to lodging and personal use of the property. Up to 8 guests may stay and use the house, outdoor sitting areas and landscaped yard.

Event Venue:
Use of the property for events requires a separate contract and additional rates apply. Event reservations include use of the “serving shed”; and use of the landscaped yard to entertain guests not staying at The House Inn.
