About this property

The Flower Artist Home- walk to Pub, Shops & Trails. Dog-friendly!

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 + driveway parking, huge back yard, private hot-tub, 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 + (1) >50 lb 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. :)

About the host

Hosted by Regina & Jay Mountjoy

Host profile image
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!
