  • All we have to say is WOW! This is truly an amazing sanctuary! The house is over the top, and provides total comfort for all! It feels like home away from home; with a gorgeous fireplace, cd collection, movie collection and so on! Durango and Mark have put a great deal of love and care into their restored mountain home and I would not hesitate recommending this beautiful and cozy house to anyone! We will be back, hopefully sooner than later! Thanks for a wonderful reprieve!

  • Our family stayed from 9/17-9/20. We had a wonderful time! The house was beautiful and very inviting. Our 2 year old daughter especially loved climbing the large boulders to the side of the house. The location couldn't have been better! It is only about 4 miles to the entrance of the Rocky Mountain forest and you can even walk to downtown. We couldn't have asked for a better home to stay in while we were there!

  • Our family stayed here 7/7/09 - 7/12/09 and had a wonderful time! We all can't say enough about how nice Rockhedge was in appearance, location, ammenities, and how homey it felt! The property sits on such a beautiful piece of land, and you're only a couple of miles away from some very scenic day hike / trail heads. Downtown and Estes Park entrances were so close and easily accessable. The wifi worked beautifully, we loved listening to your music collection, while making home cooked meals, and visiting by the fire. The two outdoor patios were also so nice to spend time on. We were lucky enough to be woken by a bear one morning! We're blown away by the photo album of the before and after pictures of Rockhedge. An amazing place, where we created fond memories, and can't wait to return! -Thank you!

  • We stayed at Rockhedge for five days in early July. The "home" was well appointed and the kitchen was amazing. Downtown Estes Park is a short walk or drive. The wildlife was everywhere and even the bear made an guest appearance. The home easily handled six adults and two babies. The main room was large and airy as was the kitchen and dining area. We especially liked the two outdoor patios and spent a great deal of time there. Of course, the master bedroom/bath was large and lovely. We highly recommend the home to anyone for any season.

  • We stayed at Rockhedge June 6th - 13th and it was lovely to be greeted by Durango & Mark on our first day to show us round their lovely house. We have never stayed anywhere that has had such a well stocked kitchen with everything you would need for cooking, it was like home from home and such a great house to stay in. We had a lovely week with our son's wedding on the 10th and catching up with our daughter who now lives in Georgia. Several Elk visited us on our second day and we also saw foxes and squirrel's (no bears though). The neighbourhood is very quiet and it is an easy walk to downtown Estes Park. We would highly recommend staying at Rockhedge.

  • What a fabulous home away from home Rockhedge is. We have stayed in many rental homes and this has to be the absolute best! Every this is so beautifully and lovingly restored, and it felt like coming home every evening after we were hiking. Our hosts were fabulous and it seemed that every need that we had in the home had been anticipated in advance! What a great place to stay, and hopefully for us to come back to!

  • My husband and I chose Estes Park for our destination wedding and the Rockhedge became the heart of the entire weekend. From the moment we entered Rockhedge, we were in awe at the beautifully restored details of the home and the perfect and fully stocked kitchen. There was no better way to ease the pre-wedding jitters than to sit by the amazingly quick log burning fire place. With the permission of the home's owners, we had gathered 23 of our closest friends and family at the Rockhedge to enjoy our wedding cake and watch us dance by the fire as husband and wife. What a breathtaking experience! The lighting from dimmer switches created a romantic environment and the comfortable couches and relaxing seating made a perfect setting for conversation between our families. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us who were fortunate enough to stay at Rockhedge that weekend. We could not have chose a better location than the Rockhedge in Estes Park to host our family and friends. We hope to celebrate all our wedding anniversaries there. On a professional note, the owners of Rockhege were great to work with. They were prompt with their email responses and were more than willing to give us suggestions to make the weekend of our wedding unforgettable. The love and pride they have in their home is evident. The Rockhedge is not a just a place with a warm bed and a hot shower, but its a HOME where you can visit for a couple of days or weeks and truly make new and lasting memories. We could not thank you enough!

  • This is a fantastic mountain home, yet close to everything. From the time we first entered the home we could tell that great care was taken with this house. We stayed there in February for our first winter vacation, and were very much impressed. From the surrounding views, wildlife, comfort, right down to the gourmet kitchen facility everything was top notch. We had a family of eight deer visit us during dinner one evening, and a large bull elk just down the street the next day. We love the area and will return the next chance we get.

  • Never underestimate what your heart is directing you toward. Our family was in desperate need of a retreat and wow was that delivered at Rockhedge. A wonderful week of cooking, reading, star gazing, listening to jazz in front of a spectacular fireplace. The website is terrific, Rockhedge delivers. We came away feeling re-energized, awe our hearts melt when we reminisce.

  • Never underestimate what your heart is directing you to. My family desperately needed a retreat and wow was that delivered. We knew from the website that Rockhedge would be ideal for us but when we came face to face with our arrival there we were awestruck. We had a spectacular week. Cooking, relaxing, reading, soul searching. We did it all and would do it again in a flash. Rockhedge is terrific for reconnecting. The amenities are immeasurable and you just feel so at peace in front of the fireplace listening to some jazz, awe we dream to go back.
