Beautiful Historical Cottage

We had an amazing time at this lovely cottage! The owners really considered everything to ensure our stay felt like a "home away from home." The cottage was thoughtfully designed, and the historical updates were incredible! We enjoyed spending time on the patio and strolling along the riverwalk just across the street. Communication was excellent; the owner even called us upon our arrival to see how we were doing. The cottage was just a few steps from downtown, where there are plenty of restaurants and shops. We were only a short drive from Rocky Mountain State Park, and with the new timed entry system, we felt confident we wouldn't miss our reservation time. Additionally, we were just minutes away from the famous Stanley Hotel, which was perfect for a rainy day, and from Lake Estes, where we had a fantastic day kayaking. I highly recommend this charming cottage, and we can't wait to return to the area soon. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing stay.

Perfect Location and Weekend Away

Gorgeously renovated property, the craftsmanship was incredible! The location was perfect for walking in to town, and for our mixed ages group to come and go independently. Whatever construction there was earlier in the year is completed and the area has a very nice and fresh feeling. The layout of the house was ideal for our group to be able to hang out downstairs after kiddo went to bed. The bathrooms were so large and stunning, and the upstair shower made us sad to go back to ours. The couches are probably nearing their end of comfortable life, but were fairly typical for a rental. My only small issue was that I couldn't find any kids plates/cups/utensils that were advertised in the listing, but my 5yr didn't break anything so we made it work :o) Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting a beautiful stay that is beyond convenient to Estes Park!

September stay.

Unique historic cottage located in Estes Park across the street from a park and the river. It was an easy and pleasant walk to downtown shops and restaurants. The 2 bathrooms were very nicely renovated. Beautiful hardwood floors. The kitchen is well stocked and supplied with spices and essentials. There is only one TV which is located in downstairs living area, but that area is open to the downstairs bedroom. We had a big bull elk and his family wander right down the street in front of the house and into the park. We enjoyed our stay very much
