You can hear the bells every hour, and it feels the most sentimental, bringing the old-time charm of the Colorado Gold Rush... The cottage offers a great location, just a short walk from restaurants, casinos, and shops, as well as the Gilpin County Historic Museum, Central City Opera, and the Visitor Center. Ski resorts nearby include Eldora, Echo Mountain, and Loveland, all within a 45-minute to 1-hour drive. In the winter, the cottage is perfect as a little retreat to spend a weekend in the mountains, skiing and snowboarding. There are several pools in the Rec Center in Blackhawk and Idaho Springs, as well as Indian Hot Springs, in the area. We don't have a swimming pool on the property. In the summer, you can enjoy trails, lakes, and parks nearby. If you're a history buff, you'll be in a great spot: the area is rich in Colorado Gold Rush and railroad history. Try your luck in casinos or enjoy an outstanding opera performance in one of the old Opera houses in the nation. The cottage is a two-bedroom house with a queen-size bed in each bedroom, and a fully equipped kitchen. We tried to decorate the house with some unique art pieces and antiques. The living room features an old cast-iron wood stove as its centerpiece. The dining room features a Victorian-style gas stove for added warmth and ambiance in the winter. The cottage is perfect for two guests, two couples, or a small family. Enjoy everything Colorado has to offer all year round! ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Hot springs nearby -

Sad i did not get to see a show at the opera house this trip but this location is perfect. Easy arrival and great communication with owner. Will look forward to coming back to this central city gem. ##### Scott R. Stayed 21 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eliana E., Colorado Springs Nov 16, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home away from home during evacuation I was glad to be able to find this cottage for my family to stay in while they were evacuated from Colorado wildfires. The owner, Julia, was able to accommodate our request for extra pandemic cleaning precautions since family members are not in good health. She was able to extend our stay multiple times as we adjusted our plans based on the fire behavior and evacuation status. She was also able to accommodate my family bringing their dog with them while evacuated. We appreciated my family being able to stay in a safe, clean, pretty cottage during their unplanned evacuation. ##### Eliana E. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodney H., Denver Sep 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Home and Location What a great house and location! The beds were comfortable and the views each morning were inspiring. Walked downtown each morning for coffee and really enjoyed the convenience for everything we enjoyed. Julia was responsive and very helpful. The house is very historic and well decorated!! One of the best VRBO's we've stayed in. Nice and quiet neighborhood and a pleasure to walk around. Will definitely stay here again!! ##### Rodney H.
