Good Family Rental

My family and I stayed 6 nights and really enjoyed the area. It’s a good location if you just want to be out from the city. The cabin is fully stocked so you save a lot of time and money not having to run to Safeway for things like toilet paper and sandwich bags. The fully supplied kitchen is also helpful as you can actually comfortably cook here. The play set outside was a huge hit for my two young kids.

Fishing weekend

Terrific spot for a weekend of fishing with 5280 Anglers; 10 minutes from Bailey, 15 minutes from Boxwood Gulch. Clean, plenty of beds and room, nicely stocked with everything you need. Especially enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porch. Thank you!

Magical Family Christmas Holiday

We stayed here for a week between Christmas and New Year’s and had a blast in the house and the local community. The house is well-appointed with drinks and snacks, soaps and shampoos, fully made comfortable beds, plenty of linens, and has a full laundry, handy for longer stays or stops on longer trips. We didn’t use the workshop but it is well-appointed and seems like it would be a very productive work/share space with a full bath and kitchen. Beautiful property with Mule deer passing through and saying hello daily. We enjoyed a heavy snowfall half-way through the week that saw us snowed in for awhile in a magical winter landscape. The driveway got plowed early the next morning, far earlier than we were ready to drive on the snowy roads. A wonderful, magical holiday vacation for us.

Amazing property!!

Beautiful place so absolutely perfect for a large group of people. I felt like I was in the movie Grown ups with all our children able to sleep in one room, they had a blast! We had everything we needed and more! This host went above and beyond! I would 100% stay here again! We saw deer, fed chipmunks on the porch, the kids played outside the whole time, such a large space to play!

Gingerbread Cottage a Delight

My husband, son and I had a delightful stay at this property. Our adult son was thrilled to have the entire upstairs all to himself. So glad a gas grill was provided. We loved watching the wildlife in the early morning. Very comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great house for a family trip

We stayed at the Gingerbread House with our adult children and our young grandchildren when we were in the area for a wedding. The house was family friendly with a nice play set outside and plenty of beds for all. Alison, the owner, was very responsive to all our needs. The kitchen was well stocked and the area was private. The house worked well for our group.

About the host

Hosted by Alison Collins

Host profile image

My husband and I have been opening up our vacation homes to guests as far back as 2012. Our hosting experience first began with scrapbooking and quilting groups that would stay at our properties for a fun girl's weekend full of crafting. We had such a great experience with those groups and really enjoyed hosting that we decided about 10 years ago to expand our demographic by hosting on vacation home rental platforms. Overall we have been hosting guests in our Bailey home since 2012 and our Estes Park home since 2018.

Our family life is busy with the raising of 4 children. We decided to begin purchasing investment property in 2012 as an additional investment for our retirement and help with future college tuition as our children aged. (We now have one married, one in college and two in elementary school being homeschooled.) We own and manage the properties ourselves so that we have better control of our guest's experience. We have enjoyed hosting over the years and look forward to doing so for many years to come. We work hard to make sure that our guests feel welcome and cared for while staying at either of our properties.

What makes this property unique

This property is uniquely set up with the main home space and additional multi-purpose space over the detached garage. The "workshop" over the garage is a large room that can be used for a variety of activities: crafting, game room, office/meeting space, yoga, etc...We have hosted a variety of groups at this property because of the "workshop". We've hosted families using the space for games and crafts, special interest groups have used the space for meetings, yoga instructors have hosted group yoga, crafting groups have used the space for scrapbooking/quilting/card making, etc. The possibilities are endless!
