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 FrontRange 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 VACA-000129-2025

    Everything about this property was great! The location couldn’t have been better, sleeping accommodations were nice, and everything seems to be well taken care of. You could walk easily to both sides of Glenwood within minutes. There was plenty of space in the apartment that would be great for both a long- and short-term stay. The only issue I had was that they use all white linens (towels, sheets, etc..) and give you two small black washcloths for spills, so you have to be extra careful and they say they will charge you if you get them dirty.

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Watersweeper! The appointments, like softly scented hand soap, buttery soft bedding made our stay devine. The temperature was always perfect. We never felt like we needed to make an adjustment. The location worked great for us. We were able to walk nearly everywhere we went except for Sunlight Mountain and the shuttle was a quick walk from Watersweeper. We were only here 4 nights but we are planning our return visit and hope to bring friends along. Many thanks to Scott and Nicole for their commitment to providing a wonderful rental.

    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.

The smaller bedroom has a skylight and no darkening shades so be aware if you're not an early riser though it was no problem for us. The private back deck was great for morning coffee and sunset time. We would stay here again!

    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.

    Note: make sure you understand there is 1 toilet Spacious kitchen. Nicely setup with enough room for a couple folks to cook together. Good collection of spices and other things you might have forgotten. The dining room sits at least 6 and great space to enjoy a meal. The tv area is also comfy, they have cable for tv watching or music. The wifi is via the store below and gets a little weaker in the bedrooms, i'm not sure how it would do if you wanted to work from there, although the views out the front windows we be amazing. The bedrooms were well appointed, nice blankets and comfy mattresses. Just a little dark. One bedroom the door latches well, but there is no glass over the door. Second bedroom the door won't latch closed. Lots of storage for clothes. Heat is by radiator. Once it warms up, it is quite cozy. Parking can be tight depending on the size of your car and if there is a second car back there. We backed in, and were able to exit pretty easily. Bring slippers or house shoes (which i like to do anyway) the hosts request that no shoes be worn in the house. All in all an enjoyable stay for a quick girls weekend! Walkable to iron mountain via river trail (30 min). 20 min to Doc Holiday's grave site and other trails are close by and you don't need a car.

    This property may be the best location and had some very nice features, comfortable beds and a nice gathering room and communication with the owners was easy. However, there are several neglected items that make it difficult to offer a good review. The unit shows a lot of wear and tear; dirty carpet, nicked up walls, an unhinged closet door, poor lighting (especially in main bedroom), entry stairs with bird droppings, bedroom doors that don't close and a very funky bathroom situation that could be partially remedied with a door to the toilet that actually goes to the ceiling. We didn't expect perfection as we understood this is a very old building, but these are simple things that help make guests more comfortable. With a little attention, this place could have lived up to the description that sold us on selecting it, but not this time.

    The property has been so nicely renovated and furnished, it was a pleasure staying. Very comfortable in living areas and bedrooms, 2 bathrooms one with tub, one with shower. One toilet for the unit. The living room looked out over the main street, interesting cafe's. There is a large deck in back, very nice for evenings. The long stairway from back alley where you park up to the loft needed cleaning attention. That is the only reason for the 4 rating. We had some trouble getting TV's going, but the owners were very responsive and helpful. Pay close attention to the checkin/checkout process. Going out the back alley is a 2 minute walk to the very very nice downtown area with shops, lovely boutique right under the loft, several great restaurants - historic saloon, outdoor casual as well as fine dining. Overall, this was just a great find, one I would use again and definitely recommend!

    Girl scout motto: Come prepared with soap, toilet paper, think essentials--not supplied by host. BVRO *Bad vibes running overtime--did not receive address and as a 1st timer with this site, did not know how to contact host --no email-not even in spam! Spent about a hour walking through the local camp ground asking neighbors and finally texting host --who did respond quickly! Upon finding property, hostess declared That's VRBO's responsibility No sympathy for the weary there! Beautiful views of the mountains and close proximity to everything! Asked help firing up the pit and got help. Next evening there was little propane left, so called host--hearing We''re 45 minutes away and can't come. Must be the fault of the previous people. Final blow-toilet paper was running out. We heard We are not obliged to take care of that. Unit is part of a restored hotel but needs lots of repairs --worn rugs, light bulbs missing, electric connection in small toilet area not working. Believe the owners are engaged elsewhere and we did not appreciate the you're to blame attitude even though they were helpful in some areas. Wonder if someone coming from DIA would be stuck in the same situation--and have to run to City Market for those essentials! Loved the camping site though! Consider how to park in the space next to the BMW--tight squeeze, but convenient next to the pubic parking lot.

    I do not like to leave negative reviews but in this case we were mislead. This listing is for 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms. The definition of a bathroom always includes a toilet regardless of whether there is a shower or tub. The set up in this unit is: **1 bathroom(washer/dryer, toilet in a closet, sink in one room and an additional room with a sink and a jetted tub. **1 washroom with a sink and shower So only1 toilet and 1 shower to share for 4 of us. While the 1 shower is no big deal, the 1 toilet is awkward and not what we paid for. I would never have rented this unit had I known it only had 1 toilet. The unit is in a GREAT location right on the main street with lots of great places to walk. We did not have any noise issues and the living/kitchen areas are comfortable and clean. The back bedroom is well lit but hot so the guests in that room had to leave their door open when sleeping even with the air conditioning on high. The front bedroom is comfortable-ish. We had to unscrew the overhead bulbs bc the fan is on the same switch and it was too hot without the fan on leaving the room really dark. The closet door another guest earlier said was off its rail was still off its rail. The bed is super soft. Back porch is lovely but so hot in the afternoon its not useable.Outisde stairs needs a good cleaning/sweep. The bottom step on the top set of stairs is not attached-not safe. Overall a cute place that needs some love & a new listing of: 2 bed, 1 bath, 1 washroom
