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.

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.

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.

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. ;)

Spectacular house in a great location

Pictures don’t do this property justice. We were all blown away by the attention to detail when they took this down to the studs and brought it back to it’s original glory. The location is perfect for us, as you can walk to town and it’s a quick drive to the park. Mark, the owner, was great with communication. They were doing construction when we went, but it wasn’t a big deal at all and Mark made sure we were taken care of. We will definitely be booking this property again!

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

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
