We had such a great stay here during our wedding trip. The views were beautiful and made everything feel really peaceful and special.The space was clean, cozy, and comfortable for our family. It was our kids’ first time seeing the mountains, and they absolutely loved it. They felt right at home the whole time, which meant a lot to us.We really enjoyed the fireplaces. They made the evenings feel warm and relaxing. We also saw some wildlife nearby, which was a nice added touch.The host was kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which made everything smooth.We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.

Darin is an amazing host. The space is beautiful with fantastic scenery. Having the coziness off a real wood fireplace was lovely. Hot tub, mountain beauty, the quiet, and a fireplace! Priceless. Me and my husband enjoyed our time there.

Great getaway spot!

The house was incredible, perfect size for a weekend getaway for CSU graduation! Great space, you can hear the Thompson River flowing right in front of the house. We will definitely stay again, a little bit of a drive to Ft. Collins and very close to beautiful Estes Park, perfect location for our needs.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
My family absolutely loves the mountains and especially Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park... so we are excited to open our cabin for others to enjoy the same things we love so much! My profile photo is a picture of my daughter and I at Bear Lake in RMNP after we completed our 10 mile hike on the Bear Lake loop.

Why they chose this property

We love our cabin because it feels private and secluded while still being so close to Estes Park / RMNP without feeling TOO remote.

What makes this property unique

The very private feel so close to a major tourist area while still feeling very connected to the surrounding area.
