About this property

Elegant Downtown 'Sunshine Cottage'

This cozy cottage is located in a quiet, established neighborhood. With large common areas you can enjoy time together listening to your own music on our blue tooth, Marshall speaker and enjoying a complimentary bottle of wine or hot cocoa. Later, retreat to your peaceful bedroom and relax in your comfortable bed with crisp linens. Master bedroom has attached bathroom and for your convenience phone chargers are next to beds. Back yard invites you to enjoy the glider under the pergola or curl up next to the in-ground fire pit. If you’re so inclined…try a game of Corn Hole. Wake up to the spectacular, Colorado blue sky with an espresso in hand. You’ll make memories for a lifetime. It doesn’t get much better than this!
PLEASE NOTE: We do not have a BBQ nor allow bringing your own BBQ. Thank you.

Just a short walk to sweet downtown where you can enjoy our famous “Art on the Corner”. One of the nation's first sidewalk sculpture exhibits, including the Wells Fargo “Buffalo” made of car bumpers. Check the schedule at the Avalon Theatre on Main Street. It was built in the 1920s for performing arts & independent film screenings. It still offers up top name concerts and movies.
