Cute cottage in the middle of everything fun.

Super great communication with owner and property manager. Very clean and comfortable. Everything in great working order with comfortable kitchen to prepare meals. Nice patio/porch to drink coffee or have a meal. I love old homes so this was a fun stay for me. Walking distance to ropes course for kiddo, shops, and restaurants.

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.

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.

Great Stay

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.

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

Wonderful stay- location, amenities & comfort

Our family of 5 had a wonderful mid July stay at the cottage. It all began with very clear communication with the hosts on the day of arrival. From there we settled in quickly after an easy trip to the store. We absolutely loved the location. A perfect way to head into RMNP for a day of hiking then return, park the car and walk everywhere in town for dinner and shopping! We were concerned about the construction but it was really a non issue. Encourage others to reserve the cottage for their next stay in Estes Park…we will. ;)

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!
