What a beautiful stay along the river. The cottage was comfortable, the kitchen equipped with everything we needed, and the location is perfect for exploring the park and town. The bakery next door is not to be missed!
Great place with walking distance trails. Very close to everything and serene. The owners are wonderful, and understanding if you need to check in earlier.

Super clean. Owners were really nice. The walkway off the patio is literally 10ft from the river. Full kitchen. On the Beaver Meadows entrance side to RMNP (where all our favorite places are). We will be back.

Warm & cozy
The weather didn't cooperate which of course was not the property's fault. The bed was not very comfortable for me, a bit too firm, so it was tough for me to sleep well. Other than that, it was a great place with good people. We had an amazing trip and this beautiful property was warm & cozy.

Less than perfect Stay
We have stayed 3 times. The first and Third trips were difficult as they were upstairs units with 60 degree stair incline 16 stairs. The second trip was a cabin experience which was wonderful.
My recent knee surgery made us check out of upstairs room. Just to painful. We stayed 7 nights of the 8 night stay.and forfeited Last day . The facility needs private handicapped parking. We also did not have River access or barbecue pit access. The balcony chairs were beach level chairs. Expensive stay with no amenities.
