It is a beautiful house with the best views of Longs Peak. My friends and I, enjoyed having our coffee on the deck with the sunrise each morning. Very quiet place to stay. And conveniently located within minutes to Beaver Meadows entrance to RMNP. Our host was very responsive to our texts. And provide clear instructions for checking in and checking out.

Great location, close to national park.

Cozy cabin. Great location to national park and the town. Property MGMT was excellent. Only negative is the bedding (pillows) could be upgraded. Pretty common for anywhere though.

Wonderful place and great management!

This is such a wonderful property, secluded with a great view. I was in a crunch and they were able to assist in such a generous way and were so helpful! Would highly recommend this property or any other property under this management company. Very satisfied!

Convenient location right next to Beaver Meadow visitor center.. Quiet, but close to the main strip (Elkhorn Ave) of Estes Park. Only complaint is that the thermostat is not adjustable and the heat at night made it difficult to sleep comfortably.

Beautiful setting

We loved our stay at this cabin! The setting is beautiful, with fabulous mountain views from the porch, bedroom windows, and kitchen window. The location was perfect for us--five minutes from RMNP and ten minutes from downtown Estes Park. We liked being a little bit off the beaten path in a quieter part of town. The cabin was cozy and comfortable for our family of four. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, as we ate several meals there. Everything was as described. It feels rustic but updated. We suggest bringing drinking water or using a filtered pitcher, as the water tasted a little off. Overall, a fantastic place for people who are looking for a beautiful, quiet cabin near Estes.

>Microwave not working - unplugged when we arrived, plugged it in and it immediately started running, control panel not working to stop it or use it >Place was dirty with thin layer of dust/dirt, found later that one of the west facing windows in the MBR was cracked opened upon our arrival, most likely the source of dirt from blowing wind through that window >Fireplace use appreciated but on instructions regarding use. Flu was confusing as the flu lever does not lock in place when open so never fully open during use. Would be helpful to have instructions explaining this. >Dishwasher desperately needed in this kitchen, we wasted so much precious Rocky Mountain water doing dishes by hand. Otherwise, we loved the place, would buy it if available and will be back next year!

Perfect location

We had the best stay. The location is perfect. Avoided all construction getting to the park. Just minutes from the gate. Pop over at 6 AM and virtually no waiting. If you want to beat the 5 AM reservation requirement to get into Bear Lake, you are right there. We did sunrise at Sprague Lake several times and didn't even need our reservations. Being so close was such a time saver. The place was clean. There were plenty of comfortable beds. Other reviews have talked about the water. It does have a smell, but it is the same smell that all of the water in this area has. It is the minerals in it. We didn't even notice it after a day or so. Let's talk about the night views. This area is a dark sky community. You have a million-dollar view of the Milky Way at night on the deck. Just stunning. During our stay, we were visited by deer and elk. Sitting on the deck for coffee, magpies would land on the railing to check you out. I really hope we can make it back to the park. If we do, I will not hesitate to stay here again.

I used VRBO, not a website.

I used VRBO, not a website. So I guess the team was fine. Definitely annoyed that I had to check out at 1000 am & that the cleaning team was waiting outside/driving back before 1000 am as we were loading our truck. But otherwise, lovely.

Perfect cabin for those who come to Estes to relax & enjoy the landscape.

My husband & I have always wanted to stay in this cabin. It's beautiful & cozy. Amazing views. Only complaint is the check out time is way too early. But we would LOVE to stay here again. Our family owns a VRBO property just down the road & we would pay to stay here instead, in the future, just because we didn't have time to enjoy it. We highly recommend this property if you want a chill, cozy cabin to enjoy the landscape & nature. Well done, owners & property managers.

Winter Wonderland!

This was just what we needed for our Christmas getaway. The property had amazing view of mountains from windows. It is the first house off main road so not too difficult to get to, but if there is snow it might be good to have chains. We had a little trouble with the heaters but they came very quickly with firewood, and had us fixed up in no time. They were also out with plow and shovels to get us out in the snowstorm. Also, be warned that all the water in Estes has high mineral content, so bring bottled water if that bothers you. We loved our stay, great book selection, kitchen well-stocked, comfortable bed, just what we needed!

Who likes stinky water..

NO DISHWASHER, but your ad says there is one Some dish ware was not clean, had hard food The unfortunate point, water had horrible smell and we didn’t feel safe to drink. When you showered smelled up the whole house. So ended up taking less showers. The best part was location and views, I would rent again but unfortunately water is big issue and no dishwasher. Guest bath had no water pressure from sink faucet. I payed a lot of money and felt I didn’t get my monies worth. We made the best of it and made good memories. Enjoyed the quietness too. Sorry for honest comments, this place has such potential for referrals. Not this time.

Bad experience.

A. Upon arrival 6 pm - bad smell like decay animal. (had to leave message for someone to contact us....was next day!) We were told smell was garbage disposal (that is not where smell was originating) B. No bath wash cloths. Called twice. Promised to deliver, never delivered any during our stay. C. Some windows could not be opened. D. Some inside area in need of repair. E. Washer and dryer located in large room with bathroom. no partitions. F. Property listed with dishwasher - NOT !!! Also the departure list of things to do states "place any dirty dishes in dishwasher and turn on". D. The grounds outside are not very well kept. This unit is over priced for what you get. Location is the only appealing thing going for this unit. Very disappointed.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 5, 2023
Sandra, I am sorry you did not have a wonderful experience at our property. We strive to ensure every guest is taken care of. There was not a dead animal at the property, it was indeed the garbage disposal. When food is left in the disposal and without flushing it through, it can lead to a rotten food smell. We did have maintenance take care of it right away. We were told by our housekeepers they did deliver wash cloths so I am not sure where the communication breakdown happened but we will definitely follow up. We will request the owners take a look at the windows and make sure they all open. The cabin is historical and there is not another place to put the washer and dryer except the bathroom. The room is large and spacious so I am not sure what we could have done to make you happy on this item. We were not aware of the listing being incorrect and appreciate you pointing that out for us. We will make sure that it is corrected. The landscape is natural which is what most people like about the property. The views from the deck are amazing and the deck is just a few years old. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
