Historic Griggs Cottage Built 1914, Sleeps 10, YMCA Pool & Stables, 3 mi to RMNP | Cottage in Estes Park
5 Bedroom Cottage in YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park
A perfect place for families of all ages. A privately owned cabin located on the grounds of the YMCA of the Rockies. Set away from any roads and perched on a hillside with mountain views, this quiet, comfortable cottage is a family's beloved vacation spot for five generations and counting.
The large living room/dining room with stone fireplace and piano has been featured in Country Living Magazine. The cottage was built in 1914. The original ice house and clothes washing sink remain in the basement. The remodeled kitchen has all the conveniences of a modern kitchen including a ceramic top electric stove and oven, microwave oven, refrigerator-freezer, dishwasher, garbage disposal and lots of counter space. The cast iron wood-burning oven & stove is a reminder of how we used to cook but is non-operational now. Many mornings and evenings you will look out the kitchen window to watch the elk bedded down under the nearby trees, the deer meandering across the property, or the turkeys flocking up and down the back slope.
The single bedroom is next to the main bathroom. The middle bedroom across the hall from the main bathroom is more spacious with a double bed and a comfortable chair. The first bedroom at the back of the cottage has a double bed, an attached bathroom and the original lavatory. The second back bedroom has two beds - a double and a single, and an attached bathroom. The attached bathrooms were added in 1995 and each has a toilet, a shower stall, a lavatory and a closet. All bathrooms have electric heaters. The front bedroom has two beds - a double and a single, two dressers, lavatory, toilet and a large closet. With a total of seven beds, four double and three single, the cottage can sleep eleven.
The property is situated 3 miles from the entrance to the Rocky Mountain National Park. The Cottage is within walking distance of the Big Thompson River, stables for guided horse back riding, wildlife watching, and short local hikes. The Big Thompson river offers surprisingly good fishing. The early morning sun on the front porch is where we have the first cup of coffee. Guided hikes, evening concerts and presentations, mini golf, disc golf, tennis, athletic rental equipment, dining, snack counters, children's playground, arts and crafts building, children's day camp, small convenience store and the memorable stuffed mountain lion looking down from his ledge in the historic hall of the YMCA of the Rockies. All activities offered by the YMCA are available to our guests.
Views of 14,000 ft. Long's Peak have inspired many guests to try for the summit. You'll see original 1930-1940s photographs of the Griggs family on the famous peaks of RMNP framed and mounted throughout the cottage. The cottage is used by the family for much of the season but we love sharing it with families looking for an authentic, rustic, and cozy retreat in the Rockies.
