The Space:
The Cantril Cottage is a newly built, thoughtfully designed 750-square-foot guest retreat above our detached garage in historic city centre Castle Rock. With a private entrance and one dedicated driveway parking space, it offers privacy and comfort within walking distance of town.
Inside, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, plus a full bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, cosy living room, and warm, organic finishes designed to make you feel at home.
Start your morning with coffee on the private patio and feel the freshness of the day or take a scenic walk through festival park to get one at Coff33 while your across the railway tracks, explore city centre boutiques, restaurants, breweries, spas, scenic trails, and year-round community events.
Stay local or make the cottage your basecamp for Colorado adventures—from hiking, biking, and golden-aspen leaf-peeping drives to mountain-town day trips and days on the slopes. However you spend the day, The Cantril Cottage is a welcoming place to relax, recharge, and plan your next adventure.
We live on the property, but the Cottage is completely private. We’re happy to help if you need anything while also respecting your privacy.

A Little Note About Cottage Life:
Life happens here! You might hear a garage door, kids laughing (or negotiating who gets what sleigh), a little daytime activity from the gym below, or the gentle rumble of our little town’s train. We think they’re all part of the rhythm of living in a wonderful small town.
Thanks for sharing this little corner of Colorado with us. Kick off your shoes, settle in, and enjoy your stay!
