About this property

Lake Loveland Getaway -- Private and Comfortable -- Dog Friendly

Located in a quiet, mature tree lined neighborhood near lake and beach.
Cute, cozy, newly remodeled self-contained basement apartment with private entrance and patio and fenced in yard in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in beautiful Loveland Colorado. Mature neighborhood with lots of trees. The apartment has two bedrooms, pull-out sofa bed, ,full bath. There is a TV with Netflix. In both the living area and larger bedroom, which also has a desk for a nice work area.Fully equipped kitchenette with full fridge. Lockbox for convenient self check-in and check-out. Convenient use of washer and dryer and second smaller bath. (Note that there is one regular flight of stairs into apartment) The upstairs ( main house) is where your host lives.

Dog friendly ( no cats allowed) with fully contained fenced backyard but please consult with owner first before booking your pet. (Dogs must be crated if left alone). There is a 6 ft privacy fence separating the back yard so your vacation rental has its own fenced yard area, private deck with dining area and gas bbq.

Please note: Dog fee is $50 per trip. This is subject to increase depending on number of dogs and the situation at owner's discretion.

Conveniently located very close to main road to Rocky Mountain National Park which is about 45 minutes away. 5 min walk to public beach and lake, the famous Benson Sculpture Park. 15 minutes from Boyd Lake State park, Carter Lake, Horsetooth reservoir. Close to beautiful parks for kids play and recreation. Grocery store 2 minutes away, hospital 10 minutes. Historic downtown Loveland is only 10 minutes away providing easy access to the downtown's many art galleries, antique shops, and restaurants.

Please note that the town of Loveland is not the same place as the Loveland ski resort. That is over 2 hrs away!

Note that there is one standard stairway going down to the basement so please take that into account if that poses a physical challenge for you.


Everyone is welcome and I look forward to hosting you. I of course would enjoy meeting and welcoming you but for the most part will leave to your privacy but I will always be a phone call or a text away!

Thanks so much for your consideration!

The host is wonderful and very responsive. The apartment is very cute with a nice bathroom. We loved the welcoming touches like the water bowl for the dogs and the coffee pods, and the patio and yard area is really nice to sit out in. The only drawbacks were the beds are very firm and being a basement apartment you do hear the noises from upstairs. Otherwise a good place to stay in a good location.

We were extremely satisfied with our stay! The apartment was very cozy and clean, and the outdoor private deck was a bonus. The host, Kathy was so sweet and thoughtful. She made sure we were taken care of. Kathys attention to detail goes beyond what you would expect. The apartment had everything we needed and then some. We will definitely be returning in the future!

Kathy took care of us from initial booking through checkout! She even built us a fire in the fire pit for our s’mores party. The space is conveniently located, warm, inviting and fully equipped with all supplies you may need. Kathy is communicative, accommodating and full of Loveland information. This is the perfect space for a small group or family, totally easy to navigate with kids. Highly recommend!!

Perfect Location

This rental was absolutely perfect for our needs. The unit was clean and comfortable and had all amenities one might need. Best of all was the proximity to Lake Loveland where we would watch the spectacular sunset each evening. Would definitely stay here again if available.

Kathy is an amazing host and wonderful person! The rental was fantastic, warm and cozy feelings, welcoming air about it and a nice inviting atmosphere. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is because the rental is located below the actual house and the dogs, while friendly and nice, tend to bark at night (as dogs do) and woke me and my friend up on several occasions. Kathy is incredibly great, if you are a heavy sleeper or have an ambient sound machines you will be completely fine.

Jonathan thank you so much for your kind second review. Based on your comments and experience I have purchased anti noise machines for both bedrooms. It’s supposed to filter our noise while giving you options like white noise, the ocean, rain falling, etc. as well as sleeping ear plugs. Just thought you should know.

Greeley, CO dog show

This was perfect for us and our dog. The stairs to the basement are a bit steep and I must have missed that this is a basement unit but regardless, it wasn't an issue for us. We had everything we needed to make this a pleasant stay. It also made me realize i need a new mattress for my home :0) Thank you for making our first trip to Colorado a pleasant one!!

Nice, clean place to stay in Loveland

The basement apartment was a great place to stay. The family upstairs have 2 little ones, so occasionally I heard them, but not a big deal. There was no way to control the temp, but there was a heater and a fan, depending on what you needed. Thanks for a good stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Carson

Host profile image
I have always enjoyed hosting people in my home, so being a host of a short term rental was a perfect fit. I also have a housecleaning business which was another great fit, keeping the rental clean and tidy

Why they chose this property

It’s a quiet neighborhood with a lot of mature trees and literally a 5 minute walk to Lake Loveland

What makes this property unique

I’m a frustrated watercolor artist and decorator so I’m always looking for ways to make the rental look and feel better
