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.

Beautifully Restored Cabin next to Downtown Estes

This cabin is beautiful and very well appointed. The beds were comfortable, sheets were amazing and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was great being so close to downtown where we could walk to shopping, restaurants. Durango, Mark and Toon were fantastic hosts and very responsive.

Riverside Cottage in Estes Park

The house is absolutely beautiful. The proximity to town allowed us to walk to town and explore. The hosts were fabulous and checked in on us periodically to make sure we didn’t need anything. This was a great experience for our first trip to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Great stay, house was as advertised. The only negative was beyond the owners control and just something to be aware of. Heavy traffic and construction created significant congestion out front of the house.

Great Cottage in Estes Park

This property is perfect for a couple or small family. The interior is completely updated, yet its best original features are maintained. It contains all amenities anyone would need and was very comfortable. Location is great for Estes Park activities and Rocky Mountain National Park. Owners Durango and Mark are super responsive and very pleasant to deal with. 5 stars overall.

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
