Two homes, one garden, room for everyone

This historic house and its guest house together make the perfect space for larger groups. It features exquisite wood flooring and wall accents, while the kitchen and baths carry stunning tile work — and an antique soaking tub waits in the primary bath for your ultimate relaxation.

Guests have both 810 and 812 Taylor, with parking in the garage and the driveway, and full run of everything inside both homes and out — the amazing gardens and the brand new hot tub included. Downtown cafés and shops are six miles away; river bike trails, Carter Lake and Horsetooth Reservoir are all close by.

The two homes are attached but separate, each with its own locked entrance, and each is also listed on its own — so a smaller group can book just the main house or just the guest house.

“Spacious layout, a well-equipped kitchen, and responsive host communication.” From a recent guest review

Rated 5.0 across every category

Take the whole property — or just one side

The main house and the attached guest house each have their own locked entrance, and each is listed on its own. Book them together for the full eleven-guest property, or book just the main house or the guest house.

What to do once you’ve dropped your bags

Loveland puts a walkable downtown, a river canyon and a national park within an easy radius of the front door. Everything below is a real, currently operating place — grouped for the kind of night or day you’re planning. Open the full Loveland area guide.

The one to do first · Date night

Sweet Heart Winery

5500 W. US Highway 34 · Tue–Fri 12–8 · Sat–Sun 11–8 · closed Monday · (970) 646-4314

Six-plus riverside acres at the mouth of the Big Thompson Canyon, ten minutes west of the house. A timber-frame tasting room opens onto lawn and a fire-pit lounge under old cottonwoods, with the river running past it. Walk-ins are welcome and no reservation is needed — though guided tastings can be booked ahead, and the summer concert series is worth timing a stay around. Parking on site is free.

If you’d rather not drive, their Wine Force One coach runs a tour of Sweet Heart, The Cellar and Tesoro.

Door 222 Food & Drink

222 E 4th St, Ste 100 · Tue–Sun 4–9pm, closed Monday · Happy hour 4–5:30 daily

Downtown Loveland’s chef-driven room — seasonal small plates built to share, craft cocktails and a long wine list. The one to book when the evening is the point. Reservations recommended.

More
Ramen & sushi

Bowl Izakaya

1163 Eagle Dr, Ste A · Mon–Thu 11–9 · Fri–Sat 11–9:30 · Sun 11–8:30 · 4.7★

Ramen, yakitori off the grill and sushi in a proper izakaya format — order in rounds rather than courses. One of the highest-rated kitchens in town and easy with a group.

More
Breakfast & coffee

Feel Love Coffee

210 E 4th St · 7am–4pm daily

Breakfast served all day in a bright downtown room — Parisian pastries, espresso, and a kitchen that handles vegan and gluten-free without a fuss. The default first stop of the morning.

More
Cocktails

Sage Speakeasy & Lounge

428 N Cleveland Ave · Mon–Thu 4–10 · Fri 12–11 · Sat 3–11 · closed Sunday

1940s art-deco room, low light, a bacon-washed old fashioned, and a full mocktail list so nobody in the group is stuck with soda water.

More
Brewery

Verboten Brewing

127 E 5th St · Mon 12–9 · Tue–Sat 12–10 · Sun 12–9

A downtown taproom two blocks off 4th Street with a rotating board. The anchor of a very walkable brewery crawl.

Brewery

Loveland Aleworks

Loveland’s downtown craft brewery, a short walk from the Rialto — the easy after-dinner move if you’ve eaten on 4th Street.

More
Pub

Henry’s Pub

234 E 4th St · Downtown

Long-running 4th Street pub — unfussy, loud enough to be fun, and open late by Loveland standards.

More
No-alcohol bar

The Love Shack

Downtown Loveland

Northern Colorado’s first sober bar — a real bar program without the alcohol, and a genuinely good option for a mixed group.

More
Historic theater

Rialto Theater Center

228 E 4th St · Box office Tue–Fri 12:30–5:30

A 1920 silent-movie house restored and still programming — live music, the Flashback Friday film series, and free family movies on Tuesdays.

Free · Sculpture

Benson Sculpture Garden

1125 W 29th St · Free · Open daily

Around 182 sculptures set on paths beside Lake Loveland. Flat, shaded and stroller-friendly — an hour that works for every age. Admission is charged only during Sculpture in the Park, the second weekend in August.

More
Free · Sculpture

Chapungu Sculpture Park

Centerra Pkwy at Kendall Pkwy · Free · Daily 6am–10pm

Eighty-two hand-carved Zimbabwean stone sculptures across 26 acres of open lawn and water. Paved throughout, so wheelchairs and strollers roll straight through.

More
Museum

Loveland Museum

503 N Lincoln Ave · Tue–Wed 11–5 · Thu–Fri 11–7 · Sat 10–4 · closed Sun–Mon · $7 resident / $10 non-resident, 12 and under free

Local history and rotating art shows downtown — the right size for a rainy afternoon, and a useful bit of context for the house you’re staying in.

More
Swimming

Chilson Recreation Center

Loveland · Check daily pool schedule

Lazy river, leisure pool and lap lanes indoors. The reliable answer when the weather turns or the kids need to burn an afternoon.

More
Free · Downtown

Foundry Plaza

Downtown Loveland · Free

The plaza at the center of downtown — oversized lawn games, public art and a splash pad in summer. Park once and walk to dinner from here.

More
Hands-on

Axe to Grind

217 E 3rd St · Downtown

Axe throwing by the lane, coached from the first throw. Better than it sounds as either a family hour or a competitive date.

More
Horseback

Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch

2939 N County Rd 31D · 9am–3pm · (970) 667-3915

Trail rides on a working ranch at the mouth of the Big Thompson Canyon, year-round when weather allows. Summer rides (June–August) run weekends only and winter rides (December–March) are limited to the one- and 1.5-hour options, so call ahead.

More
Hiking

Devil’s Backbone Open Space

1800 S County Rd 31 · Restrooms and water at the trailhead · Leashed dogs welcome

The fin of rock west of town. The Keyhole is about 2.5 miles round trip and the full Backbone loop is 3.5 — go early, because when the lot fills the trails are considered at capacity.

A Larimer County parks permit is required and enforced at the trailhead.
More
Lake day

Boyd Lake State Park

3720 N County Rd 11-C · 5am–10pm · Vehicle pass $10–12 Colorado plates / $15–17 out-of-state, $4 walk-in

A sandy swimming beach, picnic grounds and more than 200 recorded bird species, ten minutes from the house.

2026 season: low water has closed the lake to boating for the rest of the year and the marina is shut for the season. Swimming, kayaks and paddleboards are still allowed. A fire ban runs through September 8, 2026.
More
Day trip

Rocky Mountain National Park

About 30 miles west · US-34 up the Big Thompson Canyon to Estes Park, roughly 40 minutes

The drive itself is the first attraction — US-34 climbs the canyon from the edge of Loveland straight into Estes Park and the park entrance.

Timed-entry permits are required May 22–October 18, 2026: the Bear Lake corridor 5am–6pm and the rest of the park 9am–2pm. Reserve on recreation.gov — there is a $2 booking fee, and they go fast.
More
Local craft

Bronze foundry tours

Loveland · Tuesdays and Thursdays

Loveland casts monumental bronze for artists worldwide, and the foundries open their floors midweek. Molten metal, ten feet away — the most Loveland thing you can do with an afternoon.

More

Hours, prices and seasonal closures change — everything here was checked against each business or agency’s own listing, but call ahead before you build an evening around it. Reservations are worth making at Door 222 and for any guided tasting at Sweet Heart.
