Whether you are looking for a peaceful getaway or adventure in Rocky Mountain National Park, the mountains are calling and River's Edge will provide the opportunity for it all to come together effortlessly. You can spend the day relaxing in a rocking chair by the river, shopping downtown, or hiking one of the many nature trails.

The kitchen is stocked with all of the cooking utensils, appliances, cookware, and even spices you will need to make you feel right at home and it is open to the dining and living areas to keep everyone connected. And, after a day of adventure, you can come back to your home away from home and snuggle up to a wood-burning fireplace with your favorite book and a warm beverage. What more could you ask for?

Falling asleep to the calming sound of the river rushing along just steps from the cottage.

We came to hike the mountains, see the elk, kick back with drinks, pizza and the serenity of the river that runs within steps of the back deck. Loved the space, the cleanliness, ease of access to Estes and mountain trail heads.

Wonderful get-away!

My husband and I rented this house for a quick get away. The house is wonderful, beds and linens very comfortable (which is unfortunately rare in most rentals), and the kitchen was well equipped. Having the Big Thompson River in the backyard was why we chose this property over others in Estes Park and it did not disappoint. If we travel to Estes Park again in the future, we will definitely be staying at this house again.

Just Right...

We loved our stay at Rivers Edge...everything we needed for our family of four. The kitchen had everything we needed for lots of cooking and eating in, and the large dining table was a plus. We had a hard time keeping the downstairs warm enough, but the ample supply of blankets and the fireplace made it right. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your space!

Beautiful Estes Park on the river

Our family made a quick stop in Estes and enjoyed it to its fullest. Took a tour of the RMNP and enjoyed the Holiday parade. The house itself was perfect. The street to the neighborhood turning off 66 doesn’t have a sign so be on the lookout for Blue Spruce Village (I believe). The house is beautifully decorated and has all the comforts of home. The view of the river is spectacular and calming. Would definitely book here again upon our return.

Been VRBO’ing since 2018- this one is our FAV!!!

We are traveling in CO for about 2 weeks, and we are at our last place (4th). NOTHING compares to Blue Spruce Village. This home- NOT ONE detail was overlooked. For us- the beds are usually the most important. All 6 of us agreed, THE best beds since we have been traveling since 2018. We wanted the mattress info and even the linens were divine!We all slept w our windows opened and listened to the river - fresh air, cool breezes, no sound machine needed - didn’t wake ONCE. Not exaggerating, best sleep of my life. The deck of the primary bedroom over looking river - LOVED. Huge porch below w rocking chairs, couldn’t get enough! Even huge male elk sat most day across river from us! Loved the kitchen - better stocked than mine at home. 3 baths was great for 6 of us. LOVED huge dining table. Living room was lovely for hanging out, w door open to ALWAYS hear river. Grill was BRAND NEW and great for grilling w big picnic table. Truly the most relaxing VRBO… even w road on the other side of river, can’t hear the traffic or really see it w the big beautiful trees. So many sweet touches - travel sizes of bathroom amenities even! Stayed for 4 days, but wish we would have stayed at least a week! We went to RMNP twice, BackBone Adventures 4 utv’ing on Switzerland Trail, Aerial Tramway & hiked on top & feed chipmunks peanuts, BEST BBQ at Smokin’ Dave, Stanley Hotel tour, walked downtown several times, Fun City, pedicures by river at Enchanted Spa. We will be back!

Nice stay on the river

The house was clean and well furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook everyday! Loved the added downstairs bedroom since I was traveling with an elderly parent and stairs are difficult. She enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching and listening to the water as she grew up in the area. Would have been better if there was a downstairs bathroom so those downstairs did not have to use the upstairs showers. We knew this was the setup when booking, and the downstairs bedroom and riverside seating was why we chose it even though getting my mother up and down the stairs everyday was a challenge. We like the nearby access to the ymca also. Make sure you book your entrance tickets to rmnp on the first of the month before you travel as getting the desired tickets and times at 5pm the night before is your only other option and are often gone by 5:01pm!!

Great location

The house is located in a great location. Close to RMNP entrance and short drive to downtown Estes Park. Enjoyed sitting on the back porch and listening to the river. The house is clean and the beds are very comfortable. The check in process was not smooth and was very frustrating. I was given a code that did not work. I tried calling PMI and received a call back 2 hours later. I sent an email through Vrbo that I could not get into the house. Received a response 30 minutes later. To get into the house we used the ring doorbell and the owner was able to open the door remotely. Couldn’t leave the house until a new code was sent. I would also recommend that the sheets be replaced. There were stains on the sheets on 2 of the beds.

We have stayed at this house the last 3 summers. We love it; it works well for our small group. We had some difficulty with communication at first since all communications had to go through email not phone, so a lag in response due to email delivery. Previous visits there was someone onsite to respond to our calls. However, we were able to get everything taken care of satisfactorily.
