We travelled from Australia to have a white Christmas at Meeker Peek. It snowed and it was awesome. Thanks for the use of your house. Especially the toboggans! They were so much fun.

We really enjoyed our visit here at Colorado. My son and daughter-in-law moved to Denver in July of this year. My husband, daughter, mother and I flew out here for Thanksgiving. It was so nice just relaxing and spending time with family. Your cabin was very comfortable and roomy. We are from south Georgia and the temp in Georgia was in the 70s so we enjoyed the cold weather. I just wish there could've been more snow!!

We utterly did Central Colorado and completely wore ourselves out. The cabin felt like home. It was so nice. We spent an afternoon in Glenwood Springs, saw elk in Estes Park, the Alpine Visitor's Center, saw marmots, ground squirrels, big horn sheep, and mountain goats at sunset on Mt. Evans. We rode the Georgetown Loop RR and did several things in Boulder and Denver. We enjoyed hummingbirds, rabbits, squirrels at the cabin. What an awesome week!

What a great time here! The cabin was beautiful and more than we could have asked for. So much to do and so little time. We hope to bring the childred (5 &6) back some winter and use the sleds. Everything was great. Thanks a ton for letting us rent your cabin.

Thanks so much for sharing your very clean, well stocked house with us!! Although we missed seing any large wild life in the immediate area, we loved the beautiful setting and we were often amused by the visiting chipmunks and hummingbirds. We spent our first night cooking, getting settled and just enjoying your home. Then we headed to Rocky Mountain National Park. The kiddos, and grandparents enjoyed the waterfalls, the constant awe-inspiring views and seeing the alpine tundra at the top of the Fall River Road. We got caught in the middle of a storm at the very top so we ran back to the car while being pelted with heavy rain and hail! It was there in the car that we enjoyed our "picinic". But the views couldn't be beat!! We took Trail Ridge Road back down to the RMNP exit, of course, making lots of stops along the way. We saw a beaver, mule deer, lots of chipmunks, and some interesting birds during our visit. The rest of the week was just as amazing. Now we're packing up and heading to Lake Estes for some good fishing. Thanks again for all that you and past visitors have done to make Meeker Peek a cozy and comfortable mountain retreat for our family.

Our family of eight had a wonderful time at this lovely home. We had plenty of space and really enjoyed the double living room spaces. This area is beautiful. Great hiking, biking and fishing. The kids all had a great time playing in the snow up in the mountains. We enjoyed evenings on the deck while the hummingbirds were dive bombing us. So enjoyable to watch them. The wildlife was exciting. We even saw a baby moose!The grill and kitchen space made it easy for us to stay on budget even though we all ate a ton! We were so thankful for the washer and dryer because it made packing for the ever changing Colroado weather easier. It als helped us take care of the mess from rafting and horseback riding. Wonderful home. Thank you! The Panozzo and Maples Families, San Antonio, TX 6/16/2007 The Skill family hated to leave this beautiful place. Thank you for the wonderful home – it was truly a pleasure to come back here after a day of hiking. The weather was beautiful – what a glorious time of year to be out enjoying all that God has created. We were fortunate enough to see lots of wildlife – from the hummingbirds here at the house to elk, woodpeckers, mule deer, a snake, lots of butterflies and even 2 coyotes. We look forward to returning to Rocky Mountain National Park in the future. Ken, Ellen and Tim 6/9/2007 The Krenek family thoroughly enjoyed spending a week at your cute little cabin! We cam for hiking, horseback riding, and relaxation in the beautiful Rocky mountains and we actually don’t want to leave! We experienced a winter storm with 80 mph winds, snow flurries, and elk coming right to our doorstep one evening while we were having dinner! Loved shopping in Estes Park (something I do best ? ). My son enjoyed having his own room and watching TV downstairs after our long hikes in the mountains. We’re animal lovers, so we were thrilled to see lots of elk, mule deer, chipmunks, ground squirrels, ravens, a baby elk today on our trail ride, and even a coyote! Your cabin felt like “home” to us this week. Thank you for making our week so special. We will definitely be back next year. Lori and Dan Weston. 6/2/2007 We’re all from Georgia and my first comment is it was gorgeous! The snow, mountains, horses, and the beautiful view. I loved the Elk too! Camerons 4/15/2007 Nelis family from Chicago came for a skiing vacation. Meeker Peek Cabin was just great. We had six people here. Cable TV let us see the Bears win! The internet connection al

This week has been a “slice of heaven” for our family of eight. We have so enjoyed our time and have desperately needed this respite. Some of our favorite memories were roasting marshmallows on the balcony, watching a gorgeous bull elk graze below us, sleeping on the comfy beds (how we have enjoyed the REST!), discovering the Wild Basin entrance to RMNP and hiking along the N. Vrain, hiking into Roosevelt National Forest with the kids, enjoying Estes, shopping, swimming, fun city, restaurants, picnics in RMNP, Sprague Lake, movies, popcorn at the cabin, kids playing in the aspen grove by the cabin, watching the birds, eagles, humming birds, reading, playing games, gazing at the gorgeous views, talking and praying on the back deck. THANK YOU! We’ll be back. The Jarboes 6/16/2008 Thank you very much for letting us stay here. We loved how clean and tidy the place is. The location was wonderful with a beautiful view. We had a lot of fun in the park and the town. It was very fun playing in the snow. We look forward to coming back again. Thanks again. The Darde family, Jenny Ovalles, Brittny Gonzalez, Miami, Florida 12/22/2007 Arrived with a crisp fall temp and clouds moving down the mountains. The next day there was a thin frosting on the porch rail when we got up but after that it snowed seriously throughout the day as we enjoyed driving into Estes. For one raised in Colorado and then exiled to Texas for 30 years, the snow was wonderful. I had a hard time uncurling my mouth enough to get to sleep! Having just moved to Lincoln, NE we were re-building our winter wardrobes and I had just bought a “Sergeant-Preston-of-the Yukon” hat that worked great. My wife, daughter and two grand daughters enjoyed it as well. Thanks for sharing. Robert D. Chambers and family 190/20/2007 We arrived three days ago and have enjoyed Meeker Cabin and all the surroundings. As this is our first cabin holiday we have lessons learned. Lesson 1: Cell phone towers can only reach so far. Luckily this works to our benefit. Lesson 2: Do all the grocery shopping before arriving, else we will have to back track 20 miles to Longmont ? . Thank you! Bob and Felicia. 10/1/2007

The O’Connor Family from Grinnelle, Ga 11/22/2008 We had a very fun time here! There are five of us and I’m the oldest of the three children. I’m 16. Your home is very clean and nice! The views are gorgeous. This week has been wonderful and an amazing time away from the “real world.” We did many activities…we went into Estes Park quite a bit. We shopped, went fishing, hiked a lot! Went to RMNP, went mini golfing, went horseback riding, watched movies, made s’mores, fed the chipmunks, played cards, went up Fall River Road. This week was an adventure…hiking was my favorite part! The views are so beautiful! The house is awesome. The only thing was one of the tvs didn’t work all the time but other than that it was awesome. I love the location of this house! Thanks for letting us use it for a week. I’m sure we will come back soon. The Schenkurberys – Mark, Teri, Sara, Courtney, and Jacob. 8/3/2008 We had a lovely stay at your home. This was our first visit to RMNP. We saw many beautiful views and lots of wildlife, including a moose on the west side of the park. We all enjoyed the humming birds too. Thank you for the fans! We had an extremely hot week but in the evenings it cooled off nicely. We all hope to visit again someday. The Praeters and Greisigers, Ohio 7/26/2008 We found your cabin “online” and had a marvelous week with our kids and grandkids. Our Connecticut kids flew in and stayed for 4 days and our Omaha kids a whole week. It was priceless to all be together in one place. Loved the deck, meals, watching humming birds, listening to aspen breezes, grilling and making s’mores, watching the chipmunks on the rocks. Kids liked having internet access. We loved the stars at night – lots of games with kids and they got to meet their baby cousin for the first time. Loved the drive and view into Estes, the fun in Estes – tram ride to the top and feeding chipmunks – Trail Ridge, Wild Basin, Bear Lake, herd of elk on the trail ridge – incredible! Mama Rasas Italian restaurant – delicious!! We all were celebrating our June anniversaries, 39, 7 and 3 years – very special! Some golfed in Estes and we all enjoyed mini-golf. Loved no bugs and needing jackets at night and sitting on the deck wrapped up in blankets in June! Thank you for letting us

Bob and Felicia. 10/1/2007 Five friends found a fantastic mountain cabin superbly cleaned and ready for our arrival. We five plus our two daughters spent a week at a private cabin opposite Olive Ridge Campground in 1980, 1981, 1982, and less one daughter, in 1983. This current week is serving as a 25th retreat reunion to the Rockies for us! Dick and Sylvia Steffen, less their now married daughter have made our entry first. We slept in the corner bedroom with the large queen bed downstairs. The darkness of the room gave us the illusion of hibernation. We thoroughly enjoyed the yellowing of the mountain slopes as the aspens turned. We enjoyed finding the Meadow Mountain Café in Allenspark to be “the same” as we remember: Good hosts, good food, and good times. We loved our time with our friends here at Meeker Peek. Bruce and Marie Johnson were part of the reunion group and agree completely with above comments. The golden aspen and gathering herds of elk were highlights not to mention golf. We had wonderful meals at Dunraven, Casa Grande, and the Baldpate Inn. The best meal, however, was our picnic in Rocky Mt National Park while on our elk watch. The night we were jolted awake by howling coyotes was thrilling! This cabin was perfect for us. New memories were created to add to those of 25 years ago. 9/22/2007 A wonderful month in a wonderful accommodation. Had it to ourselves the first week. We needed it to get acclimated to the elevation – flatlanders from Texas! The second week our son and family joined us. We hiked, toured, had picnics everyday too. We were so sad to see them leave. Our 7 year old granddaughter got her “jr ranger” badge and was beside herself with pride. Our third week was with our daughter and family. We hiked, atv riding, white water rafting in Ft Collins and Trail Ridge Road. Great snow on the ridge road. Also saw lots of elk. Fourth week was shared with friends for a few days and then just us again. Yay! We watched Rambo chase all the hummers off, so we bought another feeder. Also some flowers to share with the hummers. We also bought an ice chest to help transport

june: Joan Miller: Our daughter-in-law and son visited us to spend this week here so she could share her childhood memories of Estes Park summers at her Aunt's house. We flew here from New Jersey. I was very impressed with the awesome landscapes. We hiked and picnicked, shopped and celbrated our 43rd anniversary at a restaurant. We laughed and shared memories. This beautiful cabin was welcoming to come home to each day. Definitely a great vacation! June: Duane, Margi, Megan, Greg and Brian Pickett: We really loved your beautiful cabin and the amazing views. Not to mention the many hummingbirds that stopped by. Thank you for sharing your place with us for a few days! August - the Coles from China: We were able to vacation here with my parents and siblings for a week and my husband's parents and siblings. We had a very lovely and restful time, slept and really RMNP and Meeker Peek!

We stayed at your lovely home over the Christmas holiday and it was wonderful! The weather was a little dryer than we would have liked (kids wanted lots of snow), but it also allowed us to go on many impromptu strolls around the area, in the Rocky Mt Park at the end of the road (talk about convenient!), and even around town. Being able to turn on the stove at night and get cozy made the whole mountain Christmas experience better than ever. Having TWO tvs BOTH with satellite and HBO was brilliant! The kids watched so many Christmas specials in the downstairs den while my husband and I were able to watch more adult fare upstairs. Also, I had the tv on when I was cooking and it was very nice. We will definitely come back but we want to try a summer trip so we can take advantage of the hiking trails in RMNP and some of the summer fare in Estes Park (horesback riding, biking, etc.) Thanks again for opening your special place to a family of strangers and making our 2008 Christmas one of the most memorable of our lives.

Owner response:Thank you for the kind words Sally. You and your family are welcome back any time. By the way, we give a 10% discount for returning guests! Just make sure you mention the date of your previous stay when making your reservation!

What a delight! Everything was perfect! The views, the house, even the weather. Oh the fall colors!!! And the bugling elk in Estes Park!!! Meeker Peek is a magical place to stay and we are humbled by your generosity in sharing this awesome home with us. We hiked evey day in and around RMNP and even the trail head at the end of the road that opens up into Roosevelet National Park. The hummingbirds came around everyday to entertain us. We will definitely come back next year. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Owner response:Marie, I'm happy you had such a great time. It makes me happy that my home can provide families with a great place to stay in a beautiful surrounding! Please come back and see us. Meeker Peek offers a 10% discount to returning guests!

A full week here and we loved it! Meeker Peek is our favorite cabin of all the ones we have stayed in over the past 20 years. A perfect house base for us to enjoy the hiking from, and we did a lot! Lake Isabelle, The Loch, Mills Lake, Mount Audubon, Odessa Lake, Fern and Chasm Lakes. We loved the peaceful setting and the scenery. Hopefully we will be back again someday. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your cabin - it is perfect for families with small kids. We had a great time relaxing and celebrating our 4th anniversary! The twins had a wonderful time trying to build a snowman too. We were pleasantly surprised to find your cabin well stocked with basic necessities and even some luxuries that make one's stay so much more pleasant. Thanks again!
