Photos and Description of the Prescott vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4) & Historic Upscale Home

Great romantic getaway for couples celebrating engagements, honeymoons, anniversaries or birthdays or to just get away from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. Leasure the day away on the private deck with your drink nestled in the pines and boulders or take a short walk and visit the variety of bars, restaurants and shops on historic Whiskey Row

We have furnished the kitchen with Gourmet Coffee for your arrival. We have menus of the best local restaurants and would be happy to assist you in making reservations. We are within walking distance (couple of blocks) to Whiskey Row and the historic downtown district in Prescott, and 1/2 block from beautiful historic Park Ave.

Be sure to request any special needs that you might have in advance and we will do our best to accomodate you. We are pet friendly, and there is a pet fee of an additional $50.00.

Beginning November 2012, we are going to make available our upscale Historic Bungalow home for VRBO rental. See writeup after the notes regarding The Union Street Depot Properties.

The Artist's Loft is a separate unit from the owners' home and is totally private. The Artist's Loft has a private entrance and is equipped with all of the amenities of home.

Due to fantastic results in renting our Artist's Loft, we purchased in May 2012 a 3 unit residential VRBO property just 2.5 blocks from the Historic downtown square on Union Street. Please view The Terrace at VRBO 423532 & The Cottage at VRBO 442389 for details. The Cottage and Terrace are located in the historic home district and are amazingly close to all the great activites, art studios, restaurants, bars and shopping in the Historic downtown square. The street appeal of this property is fantastic, and our reviews for owning the property for less than 6 months have been outstanding. All units are pet friendly.

Our latest addition is our own HOME! That is right. My wife adores our 2 grand daughters, so we purchased a 2nd home in Fresno, California, so we can be close to our family. Therefore, we will be renting our Historic home built in 1923, which was totally remodeled from the studs up (new electrical, new plumbing, new gourmet kitchen appliances, new tile and bath fixtures, new wood windows, granite counters, new paint, flooring...I think you get the idea). Essentially this bungalow home has the rich historic look outside with brand new and updated look inside. We have 4 flat screen TVs (50', 37', 27' and 12' under counter mount) throughout the house. Gourmet kithcen, two full bathrooms, two bedrooms, family room, dining room and den. The front porch is a perfect way to relax and get lazy on the porch swing. The rear patio is nested in the boulders and pine trees and is a picture right out of Sunset Magazine. When you stay at our Historic upscale home, I guarantee you, that you will not want to go back to your home.

Whether you stay at The Artisit's Loft, The Cottage, The Terrace, The Townhouse and starting in November our Historic Home, your hosts will be Larry & Deni Schmidt, and of course, Bonner, our 220 + pound dog.

About Larry Schmidt

Larry and I live on the property of this vacation home. We love entertaining and welcoming visitors to Prescott, but we respect our renters privacy. Please feel free to call us for more information or additional pictures.

Starting in November 2012, we will also be making our private Historic upscale home available for VRBO rental. I am missing our grand daughters and family in Fresno, California, so Larry and I just purchased a second home there, which provides the opportunity to share our wonderful home for rental as well.

Denise Schmidt

Larry Schmidt purchased this cottage in 2011
Why Larry Schmidt chose Prescott

Prescott is the perfect balance of 4 seasons, yet mild winters and summers. Prescott has a great western history, yet the downtown district is vibrant with activities almost every weekend in the summer and spring in the historic town square.

We personally enjoy walking our dog, Bonner, downtown each morning, and listening to the variety of live music on Whiskey Row each weekend.

What makes this cottage unique

We are walking distance to Whiskey Row, but you can enjoy the quiet and serenity of the Pines and Boulders in your private Loft and outside patio.

Also there is a great variety of locally owned restaurants, to meet the approval of the most experienced palatte. One of our favorites is a Thai restaurant that is owned by two very friendly and kooky sisters!!!

My husband and I rented the Artist's Loft for two nights on a trip through the Southwest. It was our first visit to Prescott and we found it a most welcoming and relaxing place to stay. Larry has provided for all sort of things...even had a drawer with scissors, scotch tape, etc. He recommended several great restaurants which we thoroughly enjoyed.
This property was very clean and well maintained. You have to see the view from the deck to believe how beautiful it is. We would love to stay here again when we get back to Prescott.

The Perfect Get Away

We just returned after spending a week of complete relaxation in the "Artist's Loft". What a gem! Quiet, comfortable, extremely well maintained and tastefully decorated; we couldn't have asked for more. The home is in a quiet neighborhood, close to great food, shopping and beautiful Prescott Nat'l Forest. After a day spent hiking it was great to go back to the loft to relax and enjoy some warmth in the sun on the outdoor deck. Our favorite was to have our morning breakfast out on the deck; something we can't do back in the north country. We highly recommend the "Artist's Loft" and would happily stay there again. If you love Italian food, we would highly recommend Rosa's Pizzaria on Gurley street. Their food is "awesome and the service impeccable!
Larry, I'm glad we were able meet and thank you so much for making our stay so pleasant. Hopefully, we'll see you again soon.

Owner's Response: Julie & Gordon

I am glad that you were able to get a break from the long winter in the Dakotas. It is amazing just how many locally owned restaurants near the downtown square are so good. Prescott is such a great place to visit and to call home. Cannot wait to see you next year.

Larry

We've been to Prescott before, and really appreciated the great location in a unique, historic neighborhood of this friendly city. Especially enjoyed the proximity to the 'hometown' downtown of Prescott. The loft is beautifully located in a great natural setting; we loved to sit out on the wonderful rooftop deck. The loft provides a relaxing 'open' environment, and the owners have done a great job of providing all the amenities needed to ensure a comfortable, satisfying stay. They had great advice and suggestions on any questions or issues we raised. Prescott is a good destination, and a stay at this property only adds to the experience!

Centrally Located with Fantastic Views

Prescott is known as“Everybody’s Hometown.” The owners follow that motto in their rentals. My husband and I found the Artist’s Loft to be an immaculate and impeccably decorated home away from home. The kitchen comes equipped with all of the expected appliances and utensils and more, the living area has comfortable sofas with a large screen TV with DVD and all the DVDS one could ask for. The bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed with another TV and both rooms have beautiful views of a granite, boulder-laden backyard. The master bath is large. The loft has an expansive deck with great furniture and a gas grill again with great views of the backyard. This rental is located centrally so the renter can easily get to downtown Prescott to famous Whiskey Row to enjoy shopping in the boutiques, to take in the history of the Courthouse or simply enjoy dining at one of the many restaurants. If you would rather hike in the mountains, it is an easy distance to Senator Highway and Goldwater Lake or Willow or Watson Lake. If you are a birder you can begin your birdlist in the backyard with Western Scub Jay, Pygmy Nuthatch, Spotted Towhee, Northern Flicker, and Ruby-crowned Kinglet and continue it with the Bald Eagles, Hooded Mergansers, Acorn Woodpeckers etc. at Goldwater Lake. But perhaps the best part of this rental is the friendly and helpful owners. We fell in love with the Artist’s Loft and can’t wait to return to enjoy the Loft and to see them again. Thank you.

Owner's Response: Wow, and I do mean wow!!! First off, I could not have written a better description of the amenities of The Artist's Loft or the value of being close to all of the great activities found in Prescott, and more importantly the historic downtown square. But now I feel like I have been educated regarding the various varieties of birds that one can view at or near The Artist's Loft.
I am glad you enjoyed your visit to Prescott, obviously I am biased, but I think you can now appreciate why so many guests visit and/or move to Prescott and the downtown area. It is one of the few remaining pieces of true Americana!!! We look forward to your next visit.

TERRIFIC FIND!!

5 of 5
Submitted: December 4, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
We stayed in the Artist's Loft for three nights in late November, 2012. What an absolutely amazing find! We loved, loved, loved it! Very homey and comfortable with everything we could possibly need to cook, relax, etc. Beautiful scenery and a great deck area! The location could not have been any better as it is almost just around the corner from restaurants, shopping, etc. The owners made sure everything was provided for us prior to our arrival which is always appreciated! We are already planning to come back next summer to further explore Prescott and are hoping the Loft will be available again. I would definitely recommend the Loft to anyone staying in the Prescott area!
Owner's Response: Thanks for the nice words regarding your stay. Once of the best points regarding The Artist's Loft is the serenity of private deck surrounded by the boulders and the pines on our lot. The deck is especially a fantastic space in the spring and in the summer, so we look forward to hearing from you in the future. Also if The Artist's Loft is not available we will be able to accomodate you at The Terrace (VRBO 336756) or at The Cottage (VRBO 442389)
Have a fantastic Winter Holiday Season
