Estes Park

"Estes Valley Cottage is simply a FABULOUS place to stay !! First off, this lovely home is IMMACULATE.....and we are very, very picky. The home has so many unique furnishings...that even after several days we were still discovering new unusual "treasures". And then the BEAUTIFUL DECK.....three-quarters of the home is surrounded by a deck....all sides with a different and gorgeous view. We were so fortunate to meet the owner, Jane, on the first afternoon we arrived. She is so friendly, helpful and interesting... and she will do whatever she can to make sure you have the best stay possible. She maintains dozens of flowers and plants all over the deck and grounds and it is so relaxing to just kick back and ENJOY the serenity and beauty of the area. The views overlooking Mary's Lake and all the surrounding mountains are AMAZING. If you are a birder....you may never want to leave because there are numerous and varied birds that you can appreciate from the living room and the deck. Then the location is PERFECT.....it is close to Estes Park for dining, groceries, and shopping....but far enough away to feel you are in the "country" and not too close to the hustle & bustle of downtown. And it is also close (maybe 3 miles or so) to the Rocky Mountain National Park and all the spectacular sites and animals to enjoy there. We stayed at this cozy and luxurious home for 9 nights.....and were wishing we could have stayed longer!! We also thank Jane SO MUCH for allowing us to bring our little dog with us...Lexi really enjoyed her stay too !! We have stayed in several VRBO/Homeaway homes.....and this one was our favorite by far !! We certainly want to return to this area and if we do, we will definitely be staying at the Estes Valley Cottage again!! WE LOVED IT !! THANK YOU JANE FOR SHARING YOUR VERY SPECIAL HOME WITH US !!"

"If you like a clean, well maintained home to stay in, this is it. We felt welcome the minute we walked in the door. The sound of the Big Thompson River was relaxing. This home is in the second tier of homes in Blue Spruce Village, so it's not directly on the river, but less than a 30 second walk and you're at the bridge where you can watch and listen to the water. The 2-1/2 baths were great for our family of four. We had mule deer eating on the shrubs right outside the house 2 mornings of our stay. It was a beautiful sight to wake up to. If we ever come back to Estes, we would definitely want to stay here again."
