Christian was great! Friendly and respectful.
Location was ideal, close to town and yet in the midst of nature away from the busyness of town.

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.

So relaxing!
Our stay was wonderful! The room was spacious with all the comforts of home! It was very relaxing listening to the river and watching the hummingbirds!
Having a pastry/spice shop next door was an added bonus! The pastries were delicious!

Fantastic place to stay. Hosts are great. Can't beat a mountain river right outside. The rooms are big and comfortable. Highly recommend.
