Get away with grandkids

Amazingly beautiful home with all of the amenities one needs for a short or lengthy stay. In a word, charming! It is spacious, yet cozy with beautiful surrounding rocks and tress. Located just moments away from downtown restaurants and shopping, and of course at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park, this is a great location. Today we played frisbee golf in the front yard, spending quality time together.

Good location

We enjoyed are stay. The house was right up from the Stanley Hotel. It had large boulders on the side of the house that the children loved climbing on. The grocery store was near by but the house is somewhat secluded which was nice. My other daughter stayed in a home near by. The house met our needs and was comfortable. The property managers was very responsive. We would stay here again.

Lovely home!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was as depicted, clean and well appointed. I especially loved the immense collection of cookbooks. My young nieces especially enjoyed scrambling over the boulders in the backyard and building a “secret” reading nook under the stairs. Highly recommend for a stay in Estes Park.

Estes Park Gem

Rockhedge is a gem. We visited recently with our adult granddaughter and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is beautifully restored, spotless, spacious, comfortable, quiet, fully stocked, has lots of plants, artwork and books, and is conveniently located near the Stanley Hotel but away from the busyness. It is on a very pretty lot with outdoor seating and views of the pink rocks adjacent to Lumpy Ridge. It has a wonderful fireplace for the cool evenings. Highly recommend this property.

The home was exactly as listed and has loads of charm. My family was attending a wedding in Estes Park and it was a perfect location for us. We had a herd of elk that visited us two mornings which was very cool. Everyone greatly enjoyed the house.

Perfect getaway, very clean, top notch appliances. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Next time we’re out this way we would definitely stay here again. Super quiet and peaceful. No TV in the main room was plus (our daughter actually had to communicate with us). Very relaxing. Thank you, the Schell’s

Beautiful Architecture, Cozy Home

Loved the aesthetic of the home with all the quality wood work—beams, staircase, doors! It is definitely a charming and cozy space. The wall of windows looking out onto the property with all the trees was so soothing. The house stayed cool even in the warmth of the day and was comfortable for sleeping. We found everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare meals. Easy check in and out and good communication with hosts.
