We had a great weekend at Bobcat's Casita. The location is great and the house is very charming and rustic. The patio was a highlight - great for a campfire and stargazing. We would definitely book again in the future.
Took the (adult) family for vacation and we all had plenty of room to relax and sleep in our own bedrooms. Great views, and all the amenities. Would stay there again for sure!

Thank you for your review! The bathroom has been fully remodeled and repaired! The bathroom has always been usable, but yes, we did add a shield to the wall as a temporary fix until a full repair could be done.
Very close to downtown Estes Park and entrance to RMNP is just a few minutes away. House has plenty of space for four adults. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Juliana,
Thank you for staying at Bams Retreat. We appreciate your reservation and hope to see you again. We realize it is a bit dated, but feels just like Grandmas place :) Thank you and we hope to see you again!
Very close to free parking in town with easy access to the free shuttles and Riverwalk, also close to Safeway. If wanting to bypass town, you can go through the neighborhood to get to RMNP. Layout of the cabin is great as the bedrooms are very separate giving privacy to those in each bedroom.
Nostalgic home located in a fabulous neighborhood. Convenient location to both downtown and Rocky Mountain National Park. Older home with older furnishings. Plenty of room for our family of 4.
Ram's Retreat was a perfect match for my family s we attended a family reunion in Estes Park. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and spacious accommodations. Close to grocery store, Starbucks, and an easy drive to the YMCA of the Rockies where our other family events occurred.

Thank you! We are so happy you had a great stay and look forward to seeing you again soon!
This property is exactly as pictured, rustic with lots of wood and paneling. It was very roomy for 4 adults and 2 dogs and with 3 separate bedrooms allowed for some privacy for everyone. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, some basic spices, small appliances, etc. which was nice as we always cook a few meals during our stay. There were some nice little touches from the host like microwave popcorn, hot chocolate and coffee packets, and small bathroom toiletries. It was in a very quiet area overlooking Estes Park with a small outside sitting area and a great view of the mountains.
Lots of room and nice location if you are going to RMNP. It was a little light on some of the essentials you hope are there when you get there (TP, paper towels, garbage bags, etc.) but over all it was a nice place with lots of room for our family of 5 adults and we enjoyed our stay

Thank you for the review. And Bam's Retreat is a bit on the vintage side and we are so appreciative that you enjoyed that experience and we welcome you back anytime!
The property was nice, but being from Texas, forgot to check the air conditioning, there was none. It did get a bit hot.

Rebecca,
Yes, we do not have AC in most of our homes up here. But happy to get out the fans for you and do what we can to make it cozy. Our days can be a bit hot, but we get pretty cool in the evenings to offset the heat in the home. We hope you will look to us again in the future, and if AC is a MUST.... let us know as we do have a couple homes that have AC or the option to put one in the window for you. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you again!
This is a spacious cabin, very close to Estes Park, a five minute walk at the most to town. I loved getting up in the morning and walking along the river through the town, coming back, and then catching a view of the mountains. The cabin had everything, pots, and pans and silverware, glassware, and dishes galore! it is not the most modern facility, however, clean and has all the amenities one would want. Lots of towels and sunlight.

The house was clean but very outdated and overpriced. It wasn’t worth what we paid for it.

Craig,
We are sorry you were disappointed with the property. However we are very transparent with our marketing and did not misrepresent the property, the "period" the home represents or the price that is appropriate for this type of home in Estes Park for vacation stays. We would have loved to hear your feedback while in the home and offered an opportunity to remedy or work with you on the reservation instead of a negative review. Knowledge is power and we appreciate your notes.

Great location but the inside needs maintenance
The location is great. very closes to estes park downtown and beaver meadows visitor center.
We found a couple of issues during our stay here like:
1. No toiletries in one of the bathroom, including handwash
2. The linens provided were very old and had some smell
3. The mattress was very comfortable. Made a lot of noise when changing sides
4. The plates in the kitchen had some dried food stuck on them
Overall the location is very good and its a good size cabin but things like mattress, linens are very old and not in very good shape

Oh Wow! We are so sorry for this. We would have loved to know about this during your stay so we could have had housekeeping come back and see you! We are happy to serve our guests if things aren't perfect. We will work on getting some upgraded linens and supplies. Please come back and see us again!
What a cute cabin close to town! So quiet and great views! The cabin appears to be built in the 50's/60's as possibly a fishing cabin. Wood panelling is soooo cute. Don't let the 2 bedroom description fool you, there is a lot of sleeping options, plus 3 couches. There is no A/C, so if you plan to stay in the cabin in the summer DURING THE DAYTIME, bring extra fans, but in the evening and night it cools the house down VERY well. Upon arrival to the property there is a "Bam Retreat" sign, but it is not illuminate if arriving during the night, and it is 4ft from the house, so watch for it closer to the house, vs the road.
At night you can sit outside and hear the bands from town, enjoyed that very much.
I would stay at this place AGAIN!

disappointing
disgusted to find mouse droppings on kitchen counter every morning. Reported to management and nothing was done about it. No toilet paper in one batnroom and one-half roll in other. Password for internet connection was wrong and mgt. did not have correct one. I will never stay with VRBO again.

Marcia,
Reporting issues is #1 in getting response. We did have a report from you about mouse droppings 1 day, the day you arrived. Its fall in the mountains and the little critters do try to come in. LOL! Welcome to the mountains!
We did not know about the TP issue or we would have brought you some, we spoke to you about the wifi password and never got a call back to indicate anything was wrong.
We are very happy to remedy any issues you may find, assuming we were alerted to it.
Have a wonderful day!

Decent Location, Property Could be Better
Upon arrival, the house had a "clean" smell since the cleaning staff had just been there. However, it didn't take long for that smell to be replaced with musty/old house smell. Opening the windows helped with that. Also, the master bathroom has a very strong urine odor since there's carpet in the bathroom. The couch in the master bedroom is held together with shipping tape. It needs to be thrown out and burned. The picnic table out back is broken so it wasn't useable. And the entire house is just cluttered with random stuff like someone just walked out one day with their clothes and never returned. The house was "surface" clean, but there were cobwebs on the ceilings and corners. The location was fine and easy enough to get in and out during the summer. The beds were comfortable and it served our purpose while we there. However, I would not rebook.

Thank you for the note. We have since changed housekeeping companies and know the new crew is much more detailed. We thank you for letting us know so we can make the switch.
