WOMEN-OWNED Business Coming Soon

The Double Barrel, a Colorado Historic Landmark nestled along the Big Thompson River in West Loveland, has been a beloved icon for 75 years. This two-story Quonset Hut, with its unique double-barrel design, has served residents and tourists alike since it first opened its doors in 1950 as the Fawn Hollow Store. Originally providing groceries and outdoor recreation supplies, the store evolved into the Fawn Hollow Café in the mid-1970s.  Later, it became the Boeheim Cottage Restaurant, a fine-dining establishment known for its authentic German and Czech cuisine, until it closed its doors in 2012.

After remaining dark and silent for over a decade, Brandon and Ann Tonia Weiss acquired the property in 2023, falling in love with its setting, architecture, and surroundings. Now designated as a historic landmark on the Colorado State Registry and being nominated for the National Registry, the building is undergoing revitalization. Collaborating with the county, CDOT, and the Colorado Historical Society, the new owners are breathing new life into this iconic establishment.

The Double Barrel will be more than just a gathering place for family, friends, and strangers. It will be an experience—a place to learn about the history of this WWII Quonset Hut and the people and businesses that have built it. Guests will also have the opportunity to appreciate the incredible beauty of the area, enjoy impressive wildlife such as Big Horn Sheep, Elk, Deer, Turkeys, Bears, Eagles and create lasting memories.   

The Double Barrel will be Loveland’s first establishment to feature a self-pour tap system for wine, beer, cocktails, and mocktails, along with a full-service bar upstairs. Outside, a two-acre garden will offer great food, a dog park, a kids' park, and cozy seating areas, centered around a waterfall and pond. A military park will also be on-site, allowing the public to purchase a commemorative brick for a veteran. Details for purchasing will be announced shortly. There will be something for everyone, and we can’t wait to celebrate our grand opening with you.
