Great cottage near old town

Enjoyed a week stay, loved the location and walkability to old town. Owner made sure everything went fine, which it did. House is charming, good for small family, enjoyed sitting on porch. We would stay there again.

Perfect Location

This house was an absolute gem! My friend, and I came to stay for several nights, while we explored the city of Boulder. We were conveniently located near Boulder and many other attractions. My favorite part, however, was the location in downtown Erie. It was a two block walk to wonderful restaurants, coffee shops, and an amazing ice cream store. The town of Erie has a wonderful farmers market and vibrant, but closet feel. The restaurants are excellent. Leslie communicated with us the whole time and made sure that everything went OK. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable after a fun day of exploring the Boulder area. I will definitely be back and stay again.

Sweet and Charming

This property was exactly as advertised. Very clean and it had everything we needed. It’s walking distance to a great downtown area! So many fantastic places to eat! It’s also within walking distance of the Erie Community Center. Don’t miss the Farmer’s Market on Thursday evenings! Thank you for the hospitality!

Perfect, Charming Casita

This was a perfect place to stay while we came to town for a graduation. Everything was clean, comfortable and had anything we needed. Hostess is accommodating and quick to respond with any questions. Check in was easy and we had a great time. Will definitely stay here again and will recommend to our family.

Couldn't have gone better

This was our first time with VRBO and it couldn’t have gone better. Leslie is a very conscientious host who immediately answered questions since we were new to the neighborhood. The 1886 styled ‘cabin’ was nicely furnished with the basic conveniences of modern living including temp control for Winter and Summer. Comfy beds and nice-to-have closets. We adapted to small bedrooms & bath. Might be problematic if more than three adults for long term. Loved the gas stove used almost daily. Quiet residential neighborhood but easy two block walk to good variety of nice restaurants that are well patronized. The two adult owls that live in nearby trees were an added charm for nature lovers. We as senior citizens would not hesitate to return.

Cozy Cottage

I have been planning my visits around the availability of this charming cottage for 4 years. Close to downtown Erie. It is a really special place to stay without the big price tag in Boulder or Denver. The great horned owl was an added bonus during my stay as well. Thank you for opening up your space and sharing.

Great Property - would stay again

Loved the location walking distance to great food, coffee, and awesome ciderhouse. Property met our needs and we found it very comfortable. Check-in and check-out was confusing and info on site was to contact property management that I didn’t have contact info for… but once I got the right info I did have access to property when I arrived so it was all perfectly fine.

Fun Family Erie visit

We loved this cottage for our visit to Erie for our granddaughter's birthday and Christmas! It was clean, bright and sunny, cozy, and comfortable. We loved the owls that were in the trees around us daily, too :) We were close to our daughter's, walked downtown and enjoyed some restaurants, and just enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. Communications with Lesley and the property manager were easy and prompt. We would most certainly stay here again!

Quaint little town

The house is small but there was only 3 adults, so that worked fine. Everything seemed to work well, supplies were efficient. We were on the go a lot and enjoyed the little downtown area… it was very close to this house! The beds could use a little tlc, one was noisy and the other was hard. All in all a good spot for a couple days away 😊

Cottage in Erie worked well for football game in Boulder

This darling little cottage in Erie had everything we were looking for. We loved sitting on the front porch in the rocking chairs after a long day of vacationing. My husband and I drove down from Minnesota for the football game in Boulder on Saturday and it was an easy drive in for the game. We spent the next couple of days in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park and it was so nice to return to our little cottage after our full days. Easy walk into "downtown" Erie for some cute taverns and restaurants. Since my brother joined us for a couple of days, with the 2 bedrooms we had plenty of space to spread out.

Cute little house

Stayed in this little house for 6 nights. Close to downtown Erie. Quiet neighborhood. Lovely front porch with 2 rocking chairs and also a back deck. Nice little kitchen. Used the washer and dryer and they worked fine. Bathroom is pretty small and if you are over 5' 8" the bath/shower will have you leaning over and maybe feeling claustrophobic. Not fancy but comfortable. Swamp cooler kept it cool. Bring your own toiletries and hair dryer. Also there is only 1 mirror above the bathroom sink. No other mirrors in the house. I recommend it and would stay here again.

Overwhelming

Leslie, the owner, was very accommodating. We needed to switch the dates of our stay and we were able to do so with no problems. The property was clean and tidy. However, the property manager was overwhelming and made my employee and myself feel very uncomfortable. She called me multiple times, called my employee multiple times, after she knocked on the door once he arrived she invited herself into the house to explain the rules, and was waiting outside by his car at 7:30 in the morning to ask if he was leaving or not.

Quiet, cozy cottage

We really enjoyed our visit. Great location with easy access to mountains (under an hour from everything) and 30 min from airport. Farmers Market was awesome and small town was charming. Was very hot first two days -mid 90’s-so “AC” struggled to keep up but worked great when it cooled down outside.

I purchased the property to enjoy the benefits of bicycling and running on the Front Range and to enjoy the proximity of Boulder!Erie is one of the last quaint little coal mining towns that has been very nicely preserved and carefully introduced to tastefully finished cafes and parks.
