Overall, we had a good stay. The rental was easy to find and check-in was easy, too. The host reached out right away to confirm we arrived and everything was good. We only stayed 2 nights, under 48 hours total. On the first night, we used the hot tub. It was very hot and relaxing! However, unfortunately only one of the seats had working jets. The second night, we wanted to use the gas grill, but all 5 of the propane tanks in the garage were empty. We checked the propane tank on the fire pit, and it was empty too. So, we pivoted and cooked our dinner on the stove. Had the hot tub jets all worked and propane been available to grill and to use the fire pit, this would be five stars. We still enjoyed a relaxing weekend staycation.

The host was welcoming and able to answer questions we had. The accommodations were nice and comfortable. It was plenty of space for 3-4 people. Not sure if six would fit. We brought our dog because we planned to hike around the area. There are fabulous hiking trails within a twenty mile radius. Unfortunately there isn’t much of a yard for a dog to do her/his business. The cabin had a fire pit (we didn’t use) and a hot tub which was one of the things we wanted. It did work the first two nights but quit after that. It was a wonderful location for what we wanted to do.

Very nice, clean, quiet, and cozy cabin getaway. Hot tub, deck, and fire pit were very nice amenities, as well as the inside fireplace. Host very responsive and easy to get ahold of. Less than 30min away from Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park. Enjoyed our stay, 2 adults, and 4 kiddos. 2 kids shared a bed, 1 used the air mattress provided and our infant used the pack and play.

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.

Great little cabin East of Estes Park Colorado. Its a 20 minute drive to the National Park and roughly 90 mins back to the Denver International Airport. Cabin had a nice kitchen and outdoor grill we made dinner on every night. Very clean and nice beds. Only two bedrooms and one bath but sleeps 4 adults no problem. The deck is great with a gas fire pit. I was able to put in a few hours of conference calls before everyone started moving in the morning on that deck ... Which is an added bonus if you can't really get away from work!

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.

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