Julie was quick to respond to our inquiries and we enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The cabin is just as described (except the laundry area was locked, which didn't matter to us since we were only there 5 days). Those who are looking for a luxurious condo experience would find it a bit rustic, but it suited our needs just fine. The privacy is nice and the view is pretty, and we enjoyed grilling on the nice gas grill and eating out on the deck. We found the bed to be nice and comfortable. There is plenty of room and provisions for 2 people. Adding any more people would require the use of the sofa-bed and folding chairs (which are provided) for eating at the indoor table, and though I can't remember for sure, you might run short on kitchen utensils. One minor inconvenience was that we were there during an abnormally warm spell and the single window AC unit in the living area did not adequately cool the bedroom at times so we had to run the bedroom ceiling fan which, though not any louder than your typical ceiling fan, was noisy enough to interrupt my sleep at times (unfortunately I'm a very light sleeper). Hopefully this would not be a problem to most people most of the time. The water is from a cistern so those who like long showers need to conserve a bit (it may be that cisterns are common in rural Colorado mountain communities?). The water is fine, but since it may taste a bit stale for drinking, they kindly provided a 5-gallon container of drinking water which was plenty for us. You do have to drive 4 miles (13 minutes) up an occasionally steep dirt road to get there and some other reviews had us a little scared about that, but aside from the dust the road is not bad or scary and it is plenty wide enough for 2 cars to pass, and our little (low ground clearance) Mazda3 handled it fine. I can't say I'd want to try it in bad weather though. It did take us 40-45 minutes to get to the RMNP entrance, but the drive through the Big Thompson Canyon is beautiful and the time passes quickly. However if your time is limited and you want easy access to RMNP, you might want to get a place on the west side of Estes Park instead. But if you are looking for a nice quiet place with a taste of rural Colorado life along with your RMNP/Estes Park experience and you don't mind the drive, this is a great place to stay.
