  My family and I stayed at the Ridgeview Lodge for four days over Presidents Day weekend and had a great time! The nearby town is within walking distance and has some cute shops and restaurants, although we really only used the coffee shop along the water (which was frozen in February). The property is beautiful and very comfortable. We have four kids and also brought two dogs along and there was plenty of room for everyone. My daughter loved the privacy of the basement, the younger boys loved playing on the rocks out back and the dogs went nuts over the huge deer traipsing right by the living room windows. Nearby Rocky Mountain National Park was super for our first snowshoeing trip and we highly recommend the folks and Warming House if you need any equipment rentals. We visited the Stanley Hotel for the ghost stories, which has different tours available, depending on your bravery and/or ages of your kids. The Scary Mary stories were great for our kids, ages 8-12. Also, if you have a smartphone, we recommend you download a "ghost tracker" radar and let the kids use that during the visit -- it was highly entertaiing for everyone! Bottom line -- great trip, great area and beautiful cabin! We are keeping Ridgeview in mind for future trips to Estes, for sure!

  For thirty wonderful days I had the privilege of staying at Ridgeview Lodge. What a wonderful experience this was. I cannot say enough about how incredible Christy was to work with and how fantastic she made my stay at Ridgeview. The home is very comfortable and has all the conveniences you could possibly want. The layout of the kitchen, dining room and living room is great. You are never far away from family and friends. Although you are just a few moments from the center of downtown Estes, you are removed from the hustle and bustle of the area. The home looks down onto the center of the downtown area but there is an amazing privacy you feel. The street is very peaceful with very little traffic. The beds and couches are extremely comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. After a long day of hiking it was great to come home and start a fire in the easy to use stove, relax watching TV, listen to CDs, read one of the many great books Christie has provided or watch the many birds and animals wandering by the windows. Even in the wintertime the animals that visited me were many. There was a herd of 7 mule deer that came both in the morning and again in the evening, three huge buck elks that must live close because I saw them all the time and of course the numerous kinds of birds, last count 24. Oh yes, there were also two very cute Abert's Squirrels who came to visit and entertain me. The home and yard were super for my little dog Chloe too. She very much enjoyed her stay. I cannot thank Christie enough for allowing dogs in her home since there are very few homes in the area that will let you bring your four legged family members! I have vacationed in Estes all seasons now and I must say I totally love wintertime here in the valley. There so many things here to do....sleigh rides, horseback riding, one of my favorites, critter watching. By the way, there are no crowds in the wintertime! It is also a plprograms put on by park rangers, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking in the totally beautiful RMNP and easure to converse with the local Estes residents. They are so very warm, helpful and friendly. Estes Park and the surrounding area are truly magical. What a place to spend your holiday! I highly recommend this home to stay in and Christie to work with. Teresa Ottawa, Kansas

  Thank you for a peaceful place to stay. Our family loved being together in the cabin. It had all the conveniences of home (in the kitchen) and was in a perfect location for getting to RMNP and also the town.

  What a wonderful cabin you have! So warm & relaxing! The sheets are so comfy. I slept like a baby! The views are amazing! It's so nice to wake up and look out to the snow capped mountains. I can't wait to visit again!

  THE EASTER BUNNY CAME!! THE EASTER BUNNY CAME!!! What a great start to a fantastic weekend in a pristine setting. We were welcomed to the cabin by signs of a special visitor. Hidden eggs around the place with little treats hidden in the eggs. Cozy nooks & great meals. We had a wonderful time. Thanks for making Easter so special! The C***** Family

  Thank you so very much for all of your extra touches. It was a pleasure to stay at your home. Really enjoyed listening to the water from the deck in the mornings. Saw lots of deer and elk. The birds were glad to get their food! My husband liked the wood stove. We only got to use it once because it was so warm for April. The book with all the great information was really great. Found new steak house - Orlando's - Best steak in town! Thank you Christie for the extra phone call. It is so nice to deal with a kind soul. The G******** Family Oklahoma & Sandra from TX
