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

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.

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. ;)

A Jewel of a House in Estes
The house is full of lovely, solid antique furniture from light fixtures to wardrobes. Yet the kitchen features new appliances and every pot or pan you might need. The bathrooms are also spacious and stocked with great towels and shampoos and soap. I've never stayed in a place so fully like a home where the occupants have just left so visitors can move in. From salt and pepper to toliet paper and vinegar and oil--it's all provided making a smooth transition for visitors. Plus the location allows you to walk to downtown Estes with its many fine restaurants and shops. It's really a perfect place to stay! The Klintbergs

Upstairs nicely done. Pretty but not inviting. To many signs. Not inviting.museum like.
Beautiful upstairs but would clear some kitchen counter space. Bathroom and bedding fabulous. Fly and bug issue in master basement bedroom and bathroom intolerable. Dead flies in bed. Flys on you constantly. Slept 1 night down, rest upstairs. Flies started coming up. Really ruined it. Plus, neighbor is a tenant and hangs outside kitchen window. Need blinds desperately. Construction was awful outside home. Early and loud.

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.

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.

This is a VERY nice home in the middle of Estes Park CO. I would highly recommend this property. When we got to the property, we wanted to try some wine and spirts. When we used google maps the distance to a winery and a distillery was listed in feet!!! the place is even nicer than the pictures, rent this place and you will be very happy. Representative checked with us to make sure everything was great a couple of days into our stay. Just a great place

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.
