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.

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.
