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.
