Great cottage, felt like home

This cottage far exceeded our expectations. The entire place was clean, the owners are very friendly, and it's in a convenient location being within walking distance to town. We felt like we were in a home. If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay, this is it!

Incredibly location and views!

Being able to walk downtown each morning and night and avoid the traffic was wonderful. The Kind coffee shop was a 10 minute stroll in the morning. The location also makes accessing Rocky Mountain National Park easier because the smaller entrance is just up the road from the cottage. We traveled with our 18 year old son and twin 14 year old sons. One stayed on the sleeper sofa, which worked for him. The other two shared the king bed so they'd each have enough room. We stayed on the queen bed that is actually on what would be the front porch. (I wanted an easy exit in the morning to get coffee and not wake anyone else up.) Beds were comfortable and the blankets were more than enough. Not having air conditioning was not an issue for us. The one afternoon that it was a little warmer, we left the front door open to air it out a bit more than just the windows. It wasn't a problem. The kitchen had everything that we needed. We made breakfast just one day, but there was enough storage for water, gatorades, snacks, fruit, etc. The Wifi worked well, and all of the boys appreciated it. The "above and beyond moment" came when we returned from Trail Ridge Road with horribly squeaky brakes. The owner was in the driveway and suggested a place in town for us to get the brakes checked. Turned out the brakes were overheated (so when the sign says to switch to low gear, do it!). The owner came by later that evening to check on us and make sure all was well.

Charming and quaint, very well priced.

Very cozy cottage, will definitely go back, however will rent a cottage without neighboring wall, one night very loud due to inconsiderate neighbor, cottage was clean and had all the comforts of home. Be mindful of 10am checkout, at 9am housecleaner walked in on us even though our car was still parked in stall, and key was not in Lockbox.

River Rock Cottages

We rented a cottage as we attended a wedding in Estes Park. The cottage was more than I expected. We were very pleased with the cottage. I will reccomend the River Rock Cottages to friends. We didn't have contact with the staff as we didn't need anything. If we needed anything we would have contacted them. The cottage was clean and very nice. We enjoyed our stay.

Cottage in Estes Park

Great place with a lot of space for a family to stay. By accident I left my Chromecast on the TV and after notifying the owners they were quick to look for it and mail it back to me. I told them they could charge my credit card for the shipping and they covered the cost of it anyway...very nice of them to do that.

Cabins in Estes Park

Made a last minute reservation for three nights to round out a trip through Colorado and was not disappointed. The cabin was very nice and clean with new windows, bath, and kitchen. It met all our needs. The kitchen had everything we needed. Able to walk to downtown for restaurants. Would stay there again if we return to the area.

Stay at Aspen cottage

The cottage was well laid out and cozy with a nice view on the porch. Would have been better if it had a daily housekeeping service and a business center for computer/printer access. The owners are really nice and I would come back.

Nice simple well equipped cottage

Close to Estes Park but it doesn't feel like you are in the middle of the crowds. Very peaceful. Even had a deer walk right up to the cottages. The only complaint was that the cottage can be hot since there is not airconditioning. It does cool down in at night.

Great experience

I had a great experience with river rock cottages. The cottage, chickadee, was exceeded my expectations. The cottage was really clean and it had eveything you needed. It was also pretty cool to see elks on the property. The only con was that the freezer wasn't cold enough so it melted our ice cream and the lack of a recycling bin. Other than that, river rock cottage was great and I highly recommended it.

Signs signs everywhere signs

We really liked that there was a lockbox and no formal check in. The scenery was great even in the dead of winter. Quiet location near downtown. Would be walking distance in warmer temps. The room "appeared" clean. Then when we dropped some change we found dust bunnies, bobby pins, a big chunk of broke glass. This was just under the bed. I went to plug in my charger and discovered a child's polo shirt behind the couch. I ended up putting it back since they had signs everywhere. Signs about no unauthorised guests, being "quiet time" between 10p and 8a. Signs about extra charges for leaving any dirty dishes. We are familiar about no smoking in CO hotels being Co residents. However they had signs about no "evidence" of smoking anywhere on premises. I did walk out to the road in below freezing temps. But the owner did see me on the grounds with an unlit smoke in my mouth while snapping morning photos... will I get a charge??? Just got a vibe that they really don't want to be in this business...

Not a good experience

We arrived for a family vacation that we had saved for all year. The plan was to stay in this small cottage for Christmas Eve and Christmas night. Upon checking in we found the cottage to be much older than represented. We also smelt natural gas. The staff came over to check after I called. He said there was no leak and there was a meter in the laundry room. We continued to smell a strong smell throughout the night. We felt extremely uncomfortable and called to ask if we could vacate that night and get refunded for the following day. The staff was not sympathetic and told us no refunds. We vacated the following morning and had to find a hotel on Christmas Day after eating the cost of the cottage. This was definitely one of our worst Christmas. The staff really should work on their customer service and people skills.

Nice place to stay and close to town.

This is a bit hard to find in the dark. The signs could be lit at night. It is very convenient. The cottage is attached to another cottage and we could hear noise quite easily - we could hear actual conversations at times next door. While this didn't bother us and our neighbors were quiet, this might be something others would like to know.

Good location and clean

I have stayed in many cabins any many mountain communities and expect a dive each time because they Re usually ran down in my budget, (200 or less a night usually) our cabin was very nice and very very clean I really appreciated that. We were in small cabin w shared wall our neighbors were not very considerate the first night but after they left all was good. Nice location can walk to town easily. Bring firewood and stuff for s'mores. Only suggestion is to have a few wire hangers around. Traveling w a toddler and she really enjoyed the fish and green spaces.

Great choice out of a lot of choices.

There are so many properties to choose from in Estes Park, and, never having been there before, we took a chance on RRC. We were glad we did! The cottages are lovely -- well-maintained and clean -- and the location had beautiful views of the mountains and was a quick walk to downtown Estes Park. We would recommend RRC to our family and friends.
