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

Ski trip
Location can't be beat. Only real complaints were the radient heater was pretry noisy throughout the night. The glass patio door was very hard to unlock. Looked like the handle was missing a screw which mad it a bit loose and the key would not turn. Took about 10 minutes to get the door unlocked. Other than that, the property was comfortable beds were great and the location was fantastic. 5 min walk from all of down town. So much you can do without having to drive. Highly recommended.

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.

Outstanding Place!
We loved our stay at this beautiful place! The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shops. The apartment itself is as charming as it is comfortable, from furniture to a well stocked kitchen. We loved staying in this piece of history as the building started as the Palace Hotel in the late 1800s. Highly recommend!

Good family place
Overall great stay. Cute little place and a great location! Master door doesn’t really close I would stay with family but not another couple. Didn’t know about the sunlight in the room where the kids stayed and it made it hard to sleep. Also the swamp cooler air conditioner wasn’t what I was expecting. Thanks for a great stay :)
