The perfect location if you want to be within walking distance of pretty much everything downtown on Elkhorn & even beyond. This property is meticulously maintained & professionally managed. It far exceeded our expectations. We won’t bother looking anywhere but Riverside Cottage from here on out for our Estes trips.

Riverside Cottage was wonderful! It was the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed at and it was spacious, yet cozy. Everything you can imagine was included; shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels & even robes in each closet. A very nice coffee bar was set up along with seasonings and condiments available. We had our coffee in the breakfast nook and enjoyed the patio in the afternoons. An excellent location with the riverwalk across the street and 5 minutes from Rocky Mountain NP. The owner even stopped by and we learned all about this beautiful home. We’ll be back!

Beautiful place, loved the old fashioned charm.... Great location, we could walk to anything in the downtown area without trying fight and pay 2.00 per hour to park even if we could have found a spot ! Temps were quite warm so both upper bedrooms were very warm without an a/c system. Other than that everything was wonderful.

Needs a better locking system, such as a keypad on the door, rather than bending over a bench in the dark trying to see a numbered lock box. No music, owner said he is working on that. The heat went out but they responded quickly and fixed it that night. Close proximity to everything, but no views. The house was very quaint and well equipped. Beds comfortable. Great management
