Perfect for Us

Our week in Lesley's Casita was wonderful. It was a short walk to Erie's restaurants and parks. We loved the natural light through the many windows throughout the cottage-style home. We had everything we needed to be comfortable: a well-stocked kitchen, washer-dryer, etc. After days of exploring Estes Park and visiting with family, we enjoyed coming back to the comfortable Casita. Though the weather was hot while we were there, the air conditioning in the cottage kept us cool. We highly recommend it!

Great place for two people

This cottage fit the bill for a comfortable pleasant base to explore the Denver-Boulder area. The friend who joined me had never been in Colorado before and loved the presence of both the mountains and the prairie. We hope to return next year and continue to explore from this charming cottage.

Love Lesley’s Casita

We always love staying in Lesley’s casita! Check in is a breeze and communication with Mark and Susie the property managers, is so easy. The house is so convenient too! We are close to our grandkids and they love to walk with us to the ice cream shop or one of the several restaurants right around the corner from the house. The house is perfect for 2-3 people and is very comfortable.

Great Property - would stay again

Loved the location walking distance to great food, coffee, and awesome ciderhouse. Property met our needs and we found it very comfortable. Check-in and check-out was confusing and info on site was to contact property management that I didn’t have contact info for… but once I got the right info I did have access to property when I arrived so it was all perfectly fine.

Great Location

We were in the area to attend a family wedding north of Erie. Other family resides closer to Denver. Perfect location. Enjoyed the town very much. Great restaurant, a very nice farmers market, and all within walking distance. Th Casita is small, but charming and brimming with history. It is well equipped, clean and comfortable. Sue and Mark warmly welcomed us and acquainted us with the area. Although we spent most of the time with family, it was nice to get back to the Casita and relax. Very quiet area.

Very good

Charming, but basic small yellow house. Clean, very good beds and comfortable furniture. The house is well located, just two blocks from the main street of Erie. We recommend one, really excellent restaurant, Farm to Table. Leslie and the caretakers were very accommodating and our communications with them were speedy and efficient. There is a small front porch with chairs and a patio with a glass grill. There are supermarkets within a couple miles and easy access to roads.

Perfect Location

This house was an absolute gem! My friend, and I came to stay for several nights, while we explored the city of Boulder. We were conveniently located near Boulder and many other attractions. My favorite part, however, was the location in downtown Erie. It was a two block walk to wonderful restaurants, coffee shops, and an amazing ice cream store. The town of Erie has a wonderful farmers market and vibrant, but closet feel. The restaurants are excellent. Leslie communicated with us the whole time and made sure that everything went OK. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable after a fun day of exploring the Boulder area. I will definitely be back and stay again.

Erie 545 Holbrook

This property is in a great location, safe neighborhood and near to downtown Erie and our relatives on both Marlowe and Colliers Parkway.Fairly well stocked kitchen for its size. Very homey. Very clean. Good shower, but walk-in instead of tub would be better, more convenient.Mattress update would be good, especially queen size. My husband and I could not sleep on it without bumping into each other, and it squeaks when the occupant moves. Gas heater on the wall didn't seem to work and it was chilly. The elevated heater was good, except directions for use were unclear at first.We will definitely book there again the next time we are in Erie.

Great historic cottage!

This Erie cottage was just perfect for my husband and I while visiting family. The house is a historic miners house and is quaint and comfortable. The front porch is perfect for sipping coffee in the morning ( the cottage has a keurig and a regular coffeemaker) and wine in the afternoon. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals and the den area is very comfy for relaxing. The back yard is huge and fenced. There are several eating establishments within easy walking distance and the area is very safe. The property manager lives next door and was so helpful in every way and the owner was quick to respond to my emails . We adore this charming cottage and plan to return frequently.
