Nicole & Scott are nice hosts.
Pros -
*Great location and felt safe.
*Nice dining and living rooms.
*Mostly well-equipped kitchen (I bought a toaster since adult kid lives for avocado toast), but plenty of baking sheets and stove top pans and variety of staples (no laundry detergent but that is 50/50 shot in most VRBOs).
*Nice BBQ grill & fire pit on deck
*Beds were not too soft nor too hard
*Well insulated condo so turned down heat to sleep in cool quiet bedrooms
*3 bathroom sinks (one toilet) plus shower and bathtub (no jets)
*Close to ski hill w/ snowmaking
Other
*Twenty plus steps/stairs up to condo (just be forewarned because of loading and unloading car). Stairs not slippery even though sleeted and froze.
*Parking is very tight. While spot is large, it is turn radius to get into spot that is very difficult. Would not want to park a Ford Expedition or a Chevy Yukon as I’m not sure it could be done. However, there would be alternative safe parking nearby that wouldn’t be that expensive or could even be free if don’t mind walking.
*For some reason I couldn’t get the outdoor trash compactor to unlock. I persisted and figured it out second day. (Note a picture or a mark on key with a T would help others.)
Most of the other things that reviewers brought to their attention were fixed. I did have a bit of a tough go in opening the new lockbox. That was because I am a novice at such things and found out that 3/4 of front comes down.

Cute apartment located downtown and close to most restaurants and local shops.
There was an event venue on the roof of the next building and they played music pretty loud 2 nights. The events didn’t go super late so that was ok. The pictures make it seem as though there was 2 bathrooms but really there was only 1 toilet.
Overall a cute little place.

The location could not have been better for easy access to downtown activities. It was nicely furnished, clean, and the beds were comfortable. Great deck with views and a fire pit. The building is historic and there were a few quirks because of that, but the remodel was done well and the location is awesome. I would definitely recommend this place and will stay there again next time I'm in Glenwood Springs.

Overall good place if you like to be downtown. We walked from Amtrak and walked to restaurants. We took Ride Glenwood bus to Iron Mountain Hot Springs. We could not find a local grocery or convenience store. While we had a coffee maker, no coffee. The back steps and chairs on patio were filthy (as well as the hallway carpet). Not a good first impression. But the bathrooms and kitchen were clean and the bed comfortable. Best feature was the back deck. We enjoyed star gazing. Could not get the gas firepit to work. We did not call on this, but I would have loved a fire. This could be a 5 star if better stocked (like coffee, kleenex, laundry soap, bar soap), carpet cleaned or replaced, and stairs and patio swept.

We enjoyed our stay in this eclectic property with history! Great location. You can walk all over town. Guests should be aware that while there is a bathroom with a tub and a sink and a bathroom with a shower and sink, there is one toilet within the laundry area with a bonus sink. We were family so it worked out but definitely good to know ahead of time.

My friend and I really enjoyed our latest stay in Glenwood in this beautiful loft right in the heart of Glenwood, close to everything!
Place was very quiet despite facing Grand Ave. and so close to shops and restaurants. Place was neat and clean. Would definitely stay here again!

Really enjoyed our trip to Glenwood Springs. This unit is in prime location. Walking to the hot springs and short drives to adventure park and hanging lake. You are right in downtown by the water so all restaurants are within 2 mins of leaving the apartment. The unit itself is updated in some ways and still has a charming appeal to it. We only received a half roll of paper towels and 1 garbage bag. There was no luck getting a hold of the property owner/manager despite our calls. The bathroom is also pretty dated and in separate rooms (shower is in one room with a sink....different room has laundry, toilet, and tub). Parking spot comes with the unit in the back, but not made for bigger car (we had a jeep gladiator and it was a job getting in and out when the car was parked next to us in the other spot). Also, note that while it was great to be right in downtown, we dealt with a significant number of homeless and beggers (especially from dinner time and later) under the overpass which is where all the restaurants are located. We ended up spending nights in the room playing cards.

Great central location. Walking distance to all of the downtown shops & activities. Love the history of this place & so happy owners decided to preserve as much of the past as they could. Clean & comfortable with lots of charm.

Great place to stay. The location is amazing; right in the middle of the restaurant area, but still very quiet at night. Bathroom is a little dated, but the owners will be updating it later this year. Note that while there are two bathrooms, there is only one toilet.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The place was in the heart of downtown which is amazing. Place was tastefully decorated.
It lacked every single thing a VRBO stands for as a home away from home. No dish soap, no laundry soap, 4 towels for 4 people and no option to supply more. Had to go to the local Walmart to purchase toilet paper, towels, coffee and tide pods. For the cost we could have rented a hotel and had those amenities at the bare minimum coffee.
The 4th dimension shop was amazing and the Italian restaurant “underground” was fabulous.
Overall Glenwood Springs is a hit other than the lack of essentials at the VRBO.
Would have preferred communication with the homeowner. Sent messages through VRBO and tried to contact the house manager regarding extra bedding and towels and still no response.
Just sad for the price we paid.

This is getting 5 stars simply for the location. Located right above restaurants and shops, next to the river, you can walk everywhere in town. It’s also quiet. A few things to call out though, shampoo and body wash/soap weren’t provided which we hadn’t had at another rental (we are hosts as well), so just be sure to bring your own. The bathroom set up is interesting with one toilet, three sinks, 1 shower and 1 separate tub in diff rooms.

At the front door of apartment was 5 canisters of used oxygen tanks! Very strange! Called management and they said they were supposed to be removed after last guest. They never were so we stacked them neatly by stairs. Not a place to stay if you are not fit and able as getting out of shower was a 4in step and then the floor.
Having said that it is beautifully decorated and cozy.
Oh the back smaller bedroom has leaning lumpy matress.
King bed was great! Great access to restaurants and some shopping.

This condo is in a GREAT location! Close to all of the amazing restaurants...breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails...they are all right there. You can walk across the ped bridge and enjoy the Glenwood Hot Springs. Very cool property. We loved all of the historic touches, especially the room numbers on the doors. The bedrooms located at the back meant no traffic sounds while you slept. Check in was very streamlined. Great internet! We chose to eat out, rather than cook. But the kitchen includes everything you need to whip up your own meals. Great getaway location - we would definitely come back!

We came into town via Amtrak and the location was perfect. We were within walking distance of everything we wanted to do. A box of Kleenex would have been appreciated with the snow and cold as we all had runny noses. We would definitely stay again!

The property is in a fantastic location. This is our 2nd time renting this property. It is a great place for 2 couples to spend a weekend trip. Full kitchen so don’t have to constantly go out but close to everything downtown if you do. Walking distance to both hot springs.
Only minor items to mention were the master bedroom door didn’t latch and was like that for both visits which required us to prop something against it to keep it shut. Also, we ran out of toilet paper early on and had to go buy more ourselves. Otherwise very wonderful place to rent!!

Loved the location of the property. It was within walking distance to many restaurants and activities. The apartment had a lot of charm and the kitchen was well-appointed. We would definitely stay again when we visit Glenwood Springs. One thing to note is the bathroom is a little quirky but with a little planning, it is not a problem.

This place was so cute and comfortable! The location is extremely walkable to restaurants, shopping and the hot springs pool. The fire pit was an unexpected nice surprise. My only complaint is there is only 1 toilet-challenging for 4 people in the morning! There are quite a few stairs up to the unit-we got our workout 😊. The unit is very well stocked! We would rent this unit in the future!

This place was not only in a great location but had everything you need for a good stay. We will definitely be back next year!
