About this property

Sweetheart City Sanctuary - Pets Friendly!

This sweet little house has all the charm you'd expect from Loveland, the Sweetheart City. Perfect for 1 or 2 people to have a relaxing intimate experience. The house is 1950’s retro inspired, but with modern and mid-century modern elements, for an eclectic and cozy vibe.

It’s also in Downtown Loveland, so within walking distance of bars, restaurants, coffee shops etc - but just off the beaten path, so when you’re in the house or yard, it’s quiet and serene. There is a neighborhood bar across the alley. 98% of the time, it's quiet. But you may occasionally hear a conversation from over there or a motorcycle coming through the alley.

The Sanctuary is furnished with antiques and retro items from years gone by, with a nod toward the clean lines of Mid-Century Modern styling. Silky soft linens ensure that the bedroom is truly an oasis. However, step outside the yard and you'll find bars, restaurants and shops within a short walk (or bike ride!) The vintage tandem bike is available for you! Helmets, lights and bike lock are provided. Hot tub is available year-round.

This little house has retro and vintage styling, with the bedroom having the peaceful feel of the Mid-century modern aesthetic. There are lots of little luxuries like silky sheets, plushy soft towels, a Nespresso espresso maker with variety of pods and a milk frother!

The shaded backyard includes a hammock and dining table with fire pit, for day or night enjoyment! You're downtown, but it's a peaceful and quiet retreat.

Lovely Cottage

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was clean and had everything needed to enjoy our time in Loveland. It is also conveniently located to great restaurants and shops in the downtown area. I highly recommend this place to stay while visiting the area.

Nice 4-day Christmas Holiday Stay

We enjoyed our 4-day Christmas stay. Arrived at a quint retro house within walking distance to old town Loveland and all of its activities. Homes around were quiet and the business activity was not really noticeable. The property had everything we needed and was clean with minimal wear and tear. Host was receptive and communicated as needed. Weather was perfect to get out and enjoy the local sites. The Hot Tub was a plus. Would stay again.

Convenience and familiarity

We made a return visit because the location was convenient to access our daughter in Berthoud (straight shot down 287) and since we had made a previous stay, the property was familiar to us. We would repeat in the future.

Quaint Little House

House is cute and felt like home. Great location and nice amenities. I enjoyed laying in the hammock and reading my book. The bed was very soft and comfortable. One night my husband and I put on a Paul Simon record while we ate dinner. Felt like going back in time. The host was quick to reply to messages and gave great instructions. Didn't end up using the hot tub but was happy to have the option. The only cons I have are, the couch is not super comfortable for lounging, the faucets in the bathroom probably aren't the best for size of the sinks (water would get everywhere because the sink wasn't big enough), and finally, while cute, the tv being put in an old tv's frame wasn't the easiest to use because the tv frame blocks the receiver so you have to point the remote in weird ways to get it to work. All I can say, is this place was great for us and the pros out weigh my very petty cons. Will stay again if available when I come home to Colorado visit family.

Perfect for after our wedding!

We stayed here the weekend we got married at the McCreery House. The host was very responsive and even let us check in a little early so we could settle in before our rehearsal. The house was adorable and we really enjoyed our stay here.

Wonderful Location - adorable pet friendly home

We were in the area of CSU homecoming but having gotten a late start on our planning -there wasn't a hotel in Fort Collins to be had. This turns out to have been lucky for us - because we found this great place! The house was close enough to CSU, and in a great part of Loveland. We could walk to food and coffee with ease. The inside of the home is adorable and has lots of charm and little touches to entertain. The house was pet friendly with a nice yard. The communication with the host was very easy. I'd definitely stay there again and recommend to friends and family.

Sweetheart Sanctuary is a Sweet Spot

Enjoyed a long weekend at the cottage which is adorable, surrounded by beautiful gardens and has a lovely enclosed yard with a hot tub for relaxation. The hammock in the yard is perfect for lying in to admire the large trees overhead. The house is a brief stroll from all the restaurants and shops of Loveland. If looking for a relaxing weekend getaway, I recommend staying at the Sweetheart Sanctuary.

The property was great. We were looking for something pet friendly and this was perfect! The bed was very comfortable and having a full kitchen was a plus. The only downside was the outdoor propane grill. It was dirty and unusable.

Simply Wonderful!!!

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at the Sanctuary. An absolutely adorable home within a VERY short, less than 3 min, walk to downtown Loveland and a beautiful park nearby. The location was quite and in a great historic neighborhood with just the right size backyard to enjoy a morning coffee or evening cocktail after a day of exploring. Great coffee place just down the street. The Sanctuary had all we needed and more and Christina was the most gracious and attentive host. We will definitely be back on our next trip to the Rocky Mountains.

Short stay in Loveland

The home was beautiful and has been kept up with nicely. The location was great, we were not there over a weekend, but the nearby bar seemed to get quiet by 10pm, so no worries about the noise. A couple bits of info for a next visitor, we are tall (5'9" and 6'3") the shower was great! Lightfixtures posed a hazard, so pay attention! The landscaping in the front I am sure is beautiful in bloom, but it was a chore at times to keep my curious pups from getting lost and away from the grapevine. If I were to book again, I would pack a small portable baby gate to put on the porch to keep curious pups in the back so you can enjoy the firepit and hot tub 😉
