Loved the location, an easy drive to the national park and situated by a babbling stream. The kitchen was fully equipped for us to cook at home, and there was even outside seating so we could enjoy our meal by the stream.

Good stay!

This place was very comfortable, quiet and safe. Having 2 rooms, 2 baths and 2 TV's is always a luxury while on our road trip. Although we weren't on the river side, the apartment had character, and was very cozy.

Very nice stay. Very close to the Rocky Mountain national park and awesome views of the mountains from the rooms. The unit was comfortable but if you plan to cook and eat meals, kitchen needs some improvement. Otherwise no issues with the checking in, check out.

Just OK. Our cottage was near a loud road. The room was hot and stuffy during the day. The bathroom, shower, and kitchenette were tiny. Rustic but not in a charming way. Our advice: spend a bit more and get something much, much nicer.
