About this house rental

License #3133 Elkhorn Cottage: Charming Home, Beautiful Views, Close to town and RMNP, Wi-Fi This unique property can be rented as 2B/2B or 3B/3B. There is a separate (detached) guest suite (Moose Room) that has a nice bedroom, bathroom and small deck. Please see picture of house plans for layout. The property can accommodate 2-6 guests. The base rate is based on 2 person occupancy and each additional guest is $25 per person per night. **The guest suite (Moose Room) is never rented separately from the main house. The garage is not included in the rental. This beautiful mountain cottage sits on 1.8 acres with amazing views of Longs Peak, Twin Sisters, Old Man Mountain and Fall River. The original founders of the Elkhorn Lodge built the home in 1934, hence the name Elkhorn Cottage. While there have been many updates, this home boasts of originals giving it the perfect cozy mountain feel. The cottage has hardwood floors, large stone gas fireplace and a fully stocked “retro” style kitchen. The bedrooms are large and the ceilings are tall. The main cottage is 2B/2B and there is a separate guest suite that is 1B/1B (Moose Room). A large deck sits across the entire back of the home that is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the views. It’s about a half-mile walk to the downtown strip via a sidewalk at the end of the street and a short 3.8-mile drive to the less crowded Fall River RMNP entrance. The master bedroom has a King size bed and French doors that open up to the large deck. The other bedroom in the main house has a queen size bed with 2 large windows. The bedroom in the guest suite (Moose Room) has a queen size bed, a full bathroom with a tub/shower, and a small private deck. The guest suite has a mini fridge and coffee maker. All bedrooms have walk in closets and TV/DVD players. The Moose Room will NOT be rented to another party separately from the main house. There is a Samsung 50” class 8 series LED 4K UHD smart TV in the family room (inside the armoire) so that guests can use their own subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu etc. The house has BASIC cable TV and it has great WiFi. Elkhorn Cottage is close to many popular wedding venues including The Stanley Hotel, SkyView at Fall River Village and Black Canyon Inn. Rocky Mountain National Park: 3.8 to Fall River Visitors Center entrance (less traffic) 3.4 to Beaver Meadow’s Entrance Outdoor propane fire pit Washer/dryer Sleeps 2-6 A note about trip insurance...2020 was an exceptionally difficult year for our vacation rentals. We went through a pandemic where we were shut down and lost about 4 months of revenue and in the fall we dealt with unprecedented wildfires where the entire town of Estes was evacuated for several days. We actually didn't know if we would have a home to go back to or if any of our properties would survive the wildfires. As the owner of the home, I have done my best to make this house a home away from home for guests. I believe it is the traveler's responsibility to get travel insurance for their trip. It is not the owner's responsibility to give the traveler a refund or to re-book their trip due to unforeseen circumstances. If I re-book your trip for a later date, then I am losing income because now another guest cannot book it. I simply cannot give refunds or re-book due to any circumstances in which the traveler does not make the trip. It's very simple...GET TRAVEL INSURANCE! This protects the traveler and the owner in natural disaster situations that include but is not limited to pandemics, wildfires, floods, blizzards, car accidents, death or death of a family member, illness, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, asteroids, alien invasions, zombie attacks, war, terrorists attacks, riots or any other act of God. Please just get trip insurance and if you decide not to, then do not get upset with the owner for not giving a refund or re-booking. This is my livelihood and I thank you kindly for your understanding and cooperation. A note about the fireplace...I have done my best to write out directions on how to use the remote but it seems that guests just end up pushing buttons and not following the directions so it causes the settings to get messed up. Therefore, this is the disclaimer that the fireplace may or may not work and there isn't anyone that can just run right over and try to fix it.

My husband spent Thanksgiving week at Elkhorn Cottage. The house was exactly as pictured and described. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The views are incredible and we saw quite a bit of wildlife from the back porch. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit that is back there. We did get a little more snow than us Floridians could handle so we couldn’t spend as much time back there as we would have liked, but the time that we did have was very enjoyable. The fireplace inside made up for the time that we couldn’t be outside. We felt very safe and secure while we were there. We would definitely stay there again!

Minutes to downtown but feels private. What to say about the house, nicely updated but but retains so many of the original features. Just beautiful and so relaxing. As a person with asthma could really appreciate the lack of any musty old odors or perfumes. Hated to leave, both agreed was a house we could live in forever.

Clean property. Northwest bedroom mattress was broken down. Second bathroom/shower very small. Better instructions for TV use. Could not find any local channels. Kitchen very well equipped. Great location to downtown. Red notebook very useful. Add info on medical facility location. Driveway needs repair and better markings.

Gorgeous location with view of Long’s peak. Elk and deer in yard periodically. 6 minutes from Rocky Mountain National park. Generally clean and washer/dryer a plus. 3rd bed/bath near garage and separate from main house is a bit small. Very rustic (old mountain cabin). Only part of stove and oven works but what does work is acceptable for meal preparation.

We went up here with friends (four of us in total). The place was just right, clean and comfortable and furnished perfectly for the house and location. The deck and views are fabulous. Beds were comfortable and everything was just right for us. I would definitely book again.

I ran a bed and breakfast for many years so I am quite picky. This home was exceptionally clean! The linens and amenities were luxurious. The location was perfect. The views of the mountains and the sounds of the river made it so relaxing. I would recommend this place for sure. We will definitely be back!
