About the host

Hosted by John McCall

Host profile image
The ratings reflect the prior property management company. My wife and I assumed management of our property in January, 2026. She and I visited the Estes Park area in the summer of 2020 when we brought our daughter to work at the YMCA of the Rockies. We rented a cabin on the Big Thompson River and completely fell in love with everything about the location. We purchased Rivers Edge late that summer with an eye toward spending extended time there when we retire. We have furnished, decorated, and supplied it as our home and hope you will enjoy and care for our it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The little community of Blue Spruce Village has been a favorite of visitors since it was a fishing camp in the 1950's and possibly earlier. The Country-Victorian cottages are so quaint and the owners are neighborly.

What makes this property unique

Rivers Edge Retreat is literally steps from the Big Thompson River and you can spend the day enjoying the back porch watching the river rush by in the summer or trickle in the winter. The river invites a variety of wildlife to enjoy as well. The location is unique in that it feels secluded but you are minutes from The Rocky Mountain National Park, the YMCA of the Rockies, and downtown Estes Park.
