RESTORED HISTORIC HOME-INCREDIBLE VIEWS-WALK TO TOWN

August 5,2012 stay at the Davis Hill B&B-
As members of our local Landmark Society we appreciated that this historical B&B has been preserved and continues to operate so visitors can experience the craftsmanship of the home. We liked the rustic décor and the fabulous view from the porch letting us take in the great Long’s Peak with its very famous notch. We also enjoyed the hummingbirds as they visited the feeders. There is always a photography opportunity.
We were traveling with our grandson and he enjoyed the area surrounding the home for playing and exploring. Our bedrooms were comfortable and we liked the ceiling fan. The bathroom was handy and shower had great pressure. We found the well-equipped kitchen and barbecue grill perfect for preparing meals. We were able to entertain our friends on the front porch.
Being close to the Rocky Mountain National Park is a real bonus and we saw lots of wildlife. It was nice to have the River Walk only a couple blocks away so we could have a nice experience walking downtown.

Davis Hill B&B was a great location for our family get together! We traveled from five states, ranging in age from 3 to 80 and all were entertained. This was one of the few homes in/near Estes that had enough bedrooms to accommodate our needs. We spent a lot of time on the porch enjoying the wonderful weather and endless games of horse shoes in the yard. We fully utilized the kitchen and grill for meals, with almost daily trips to Safeway in hope of seeing Elk. One end of the river walk started at the bottom of the hill (2 blocks) from the house, which was a nice peacful walk and trail for running to the lake. Most of all, my family felt at home and was able to relax.

We took advantage of one of the cycling tours, riding downhill through the park for 26 miles, which offered an alternate vantage point of the park and was easy enough for some less experienced cyclists in our party. It was a bit expensive, so not something i would do multiple times should i return to Estes for another vacation.

Just spent a week at this property with a portion of my large family. The porch is so beautiful and relaxing. Wonderful views. The weather was fantastic! Especially when the temps were in the triple digits at home for the entire week I was gone. Third week in July and highs in 80s and lows in 50s. I tested all the beds and all were very comfortable. The bedrooms have ceiling fans or other fans if you prefer a little air movement. The kitchen was well equipped with the exception of a few sharp knives. There was even a crock-pot so we could put on a roast before we went hiking. The only inconvenience that we experienced was the limited shower situation. (Note: The owners did offer use of their personal bathroom, but that seemed awkward to me) There are 2 showers/tubs but 1 requires that you go through one of the bedrooms to get to it. Due to this layout, 10 people ended up sharing 1 bathroom. There were 13 of us altogether. The upstairs loft has a sink and commode, but no shower. The installation of a shower upstairs would be a fantastic upgrade and would take some of the pressure off of the main bathroom. We loved the large dining room table. It was large enough for all of us to eat at. There was plenty of seating in the living area. Several members of the family took advantage of the laundry facilities. We also took advantage of the outdoor grill for several meals. The only warning I would give would be to bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. This historic home has very creaky floors. No way to sneak down the hallway in the middle of the night to use the bathroom! :o) Overall a very good place to stay, just short of excellent. The owners are very nice and friendly.
