Such a lovely place to stay! We came to Estes Park to celebrate our anniversary and were so happy with the Carriewood home. The location was perfect to have quick and easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park while still being just minutes away from downtown Estes. The hot tub was also much enjoyed after long days spent hiking. We would gladly stay here again!

This home is in a great location-close to the park entrance and downtown Estes.Comfortable beds, cozy space. Unfortunately we were not able to use the little shed-lots of cool stuff in there, but we were out exploring RMNP as much as we could.Carrie was super responsive too with all questions we had

This house was perfect for our family of 5. It was fully furnished right down to shampoo. Perfect location for Estes Park and RMNP. A bobcat walked by our house the first night while we were outside. Saw other wildlife from the deck, like turkey and a grazing deer. Spent every night in the hot tub. Kids enjoyed the game barn and disc golf behind the house. No complaints! Would book this place again for sure.

Thank You for your nice review. I am disappointed that you did not find the dish towels in the basket in the pantry and am unclear on the shortage of wash clothes. We have extras of everything! I m disappointed by the idea that you were frustrated and did not reach out so that we could easily remedy the issue. It is our goal to provide an A experience for all guests:)

Our host was great and easy to work with. The home was spotless when we arrived and we didn't have any issues while we were there. We do wish there had been more lounge seating in the living room. With four adults and one kid-someone was always on the floor. The drive up to the house isn't for every car and we were glad we had the Subaru!Wildlife was a bonus! WOW!

Thanks for your feedback Laura, however your public statement seems a bit misleading. FYI for prospective future guests, there are additional "lounging chairs" in the Tiny Barn, which can be used in the home, along with 2 comfortable living room chairs and a full sized sofa.

Ms. Carrie is an excellent host! She was quick with communication and responses. She’s done an excellent job with the property. The teenagers love the “barn” and everyone loved the hot tub. Fully equipped kitchen and laundry makes this an excellent economical choice! Quiet neighborhood, local animal friends, quick access to RMNP/town and beautiful views are a BONUS! Definitely on our list when we return to the area someday! Thank you Ms. Carrie!

We loved our stay here! The hot tub was our favorite part, and we loved getting to watch the wildlife from it. We saw elk, deer, and turkeys! The tiny cabin was also really cute. The host was very kind and gave awesome recommendations too. Hiking in RMNP was so pretty and we loved being so close to everything. Antonio’s pizza is a 10/10. We will be back!

We had a great stay! Cabin is nice and the area it’s in is beautiful. Kids enjoyed having the mini barn to hang out in on their own and we all enjoyed the hot tub. Location is super convenient to RMNP and everything in Estes Park.

Great cabin! Very well stocked with cute little extra tiny cabin for hanging out and games. Well designed layout and all one level inside. My husband has mobility issues and a walker for indoors and only had to navigate 3 steps up to porch using the very sturdy handrail and then all level. Hard to find in mountain areas. We really enjoyed our stay. Covered front porch and hot tub wonderful! A bonus of house being off main dirt road - no dust from cars passing by. Only had 1 car drive by on our section during entire 5 night stay. Very peaceful!Do not use GPS directions from VRBO. It will take you to a back area with no access to house. Coming from main Estes Park area on CO 66, turn right on the dirt road right at the Vahalla Resort sign. Go down just a short way until you see a green house on your right with a red and white garage behind it. Immediately after this turn right on another dirt road (the street sign is Thor and you can see the resort swimming pool to your left). You will see the Carriewood house on the right further up that road. If you drive past the swimming pool, you went too far and missed turning. Don't hesitate to book - you will love it!

It was a perfect location, I don't think you can get any closer to one of the entrances to the national park. Just a few minutes from Estes Park downtown, the kids loved seeing all the Christmas lights in town. We will be back many more times.
