Perfect Thanksgiving Script
Guest: Terry and Nicole, CA
Date of Stay: 11/22/11
Review Submitted: 01/27/12
If someone wrote a script for a Thanksgiving that would be so special it would stay in our hearts always, this would be that story. 3 generations ages 4 to 69. Snow boarding, hot tubbing, hiking, animal watching, football, apple apps and sharing photos. Shared dinner prep of a ginormous turkey & tons of great food. Snow and a Christmas parade! With Snow!!

Those are some of the 'events' our family shared in this amazingly beautiful wonderland. This Thanksgiving wrapped itself around us. Laughing, sharing hugs and funny stories, trekking in snow, playing games and hanging out, a romantic proposal. So if someone wanted to write a perfect Thanksgiving script - this is it!

We also loved the scenery views. No wildlife seen at the house except chipmunks, hawks & hummingbirds. Just up road saw elk, mule deer & a bobcat or small mountain lion streak across road! Spent the week enjoying all of RMNP - saw moose, elk, mule deer, trout and 2 cinnamon colored bears and an eagle driving for a fish. Whitewater rafted with RMT- great fun. Rode horses around Moraine Park Stables - again great fun. Thank you for sharing your home & Colorado. We will return!

Our family of 8 ( 4 sibs and spouses ages 40-62) had a wonderful time in your vaca home. It is truly stunning. We would definitely return some day- tho we are planning a different national park trip so it may be a little while. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Thank You both so very much.

I just wanted to say thank you from our whole family for our great week at your Estes Park home. It was perfect and we had such a fun week! And I meant to include our bear sighting story in the Guest Book. We saw a large brown bear climb on top of the garbage container at about 6:30am on Friday morning. He swiped at the lock a few times (very smart, we thought) and then he ambled across the driveway and went down the hill. Our 4 year old was so excited to see a bear in "the wild"! Thank you again and I am sure we will be in touch to reserve another week at your lovely home.

The house is beautiful and we enjoyed the deck. We hiked to Alberta Falls, rode horses at Glacier Creek Stables, picniced at Sprague Lake and the 2 dads hiked half of Longs Peak. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Most diverse vacation, boating, bungee jumping, jogging, hiking, horseback riding, batting cages, fishing, horse jumping show, go-karts, cooking and endless fun! Most memorable moment: walking through the screen door. Most unforgettable: cashier at the grocery store let us take over $60 of groceries home and bring the money back later. What an old world feeling. Most regrettable: No bear sighting!

We loved the loft with plenty of room for kids to sleep and play, and the location which offered the best of both worlds - close to city and RMNP and yet secluded and private. We enjoyed seeing a black bear in a tree several blocks away. We also had a blast at Alberta Falls, Sprague Lake, Trail Ridge Drive, Sombrero Stables at Allenspark, and Fun City. We long to return soon! We could be permanently happy here. Excellent washer and dryer too! Thanks for providing detergent and special items

We love your beautiful home with the picture windows, spacious rooms, wood beams & floors, and authentic decor. The design is family and kid friendly, and the wonderful wooden dining table perfectly suited for our family. The inviting den with well arranged furniture brought hours of family bonding time as we visited and played games. We enjoyed cooking each evening in the amazing kitchen. Other favorite parts of the house include incredible views and the relaxing deck.

My wife, Sherry, may have already contacted you concerning our stay at Mont Blanc Chalet last week. However, whether she has or has not, I wanted to personally let you know how much we enjoyed being there. The house was perfect for us. We ended up eating many of our meals there because we enjoyed, so much, being around the table together and seeing such beautiful views as we visited and ate together. My daughter-in-law made the statement that she votes that we go back to Estes Park the next time that we all vacation together and see about staying at Mont Blanc once again... We tried to treat the home the same as we would our own home. We felt very honored to be there. We do hope that you will invite us back... As I am sure you know, Texas is having a horrible summer with the very hot temperatures. Being at Mont Blanc for a week was so nice with the lower temperatures of Colorado. It was a little warm a couple of days but was in the 70’s during the day most of the time. The nights were cooler. Thanks again for allowing us to live in your home for the week. We made so many wonderful memories there.

Mont Blanc Chalet was the perfect home for our family to celebrate our reunion. Day trips to Boulder & Denver, Trail Ridge, two hikes in RMNP & Stanley Hotel kept us busy! We hope to return.

Saw great views hiking - did the whole Ute trail to Upper Beaver! as well as a few others. Beautiful wildflowers and wildlife and you can't beat the view from the table. Too bad we didn't see the local bear, but saw elk, moose & marmot. Thanks for sharing the house.

Beautiful views, does in the drive, granddaughters giggling, lit Morgan singing, countless hours of UNO, shopping in Estes, accomodations of home, a visit with my friend in Ft Collins who I hadn't seen in 30 years. Just enough snow for sledding in RMNP, can't wait to create a scrapbook of our week, a special thank you to my daughter and son in law for finding your home and sharing it with all of us. From Plano Texas!

We had a wonderful time staying in your beautiful home! The views were wonderful and we had several opportunities to take several family pictures by the rocks. We enjoyed the many activities Colorado had to offer, trails, horseback riding, the Stanley Hotel ghost tour, golf and shopping. The 8 of us were here to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary. Being together in our home was a great time. We played cards every night, put together puzzles and watched homemade videos.

You provided the perfect home for the first time our blended family vacationed together. Thank you. Your home is beautiful and it was just right for giving everyone their own space and also sharing evening meals and game nights. What can we say about the view? Awesome! It was the backdrop for our rising and going to sleep. It changed minute by minute and always reminded us of just how majestic creation can be. We appreciated your warm hospitality in the decor, the appointments in the kitchen, the cleanliness of your home and attention to kid friendly details. Our goodbyes from Mont Blanc were hard. Thank you again for providing us with such a lovely spot to make beautiful memories.

The Carlsons have totally enjoyed our stay at Mont Blanc. We loved being together under 1 roof, and a beautiful spacious one it is! The kitchen was perfect for our family dinner. The group hiked, biked, rafted down the river, shopped (a little), did the fun parks with the little kids, played lots of games and read lots of books. It was all good. We thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

What a beautiful view and home you have here at Mont Blanc Chalet! Your home is wonderfully decorated, the beds very comfortable, the hot tub was perfect for a long soak while it lightly snowed. And the view is amazing - freshly fallen snow & snow capped mountains after a foot of snow during our stay. Thank you for sharing your Mont Blanc Chalet (& help digging out)

For the first time since the mid 80s, our family was all together for Christmas. Your beautiful home, with its amazing views, was a perfect gathering spot. Our family has grown since then and gave us a chance to create new memories, laugh and share some old memories too. After a year of our share of challenges, this week gave us so many blessings and a chance to rest and fuel up for the next leg of the climb. Thank you for providing such a wonderful backdrop for these memories.
