Wonderful

Walking distance to bars and restaurants, awesome view of Longs Peak, hot tub, spacious inside and out, including a nice deck with plenty of seating. The only thing missing was salt and a pizza cutter, very minor!
Easy check in and clear instructions. Ample room for our family. Disappointed to find only one hair dryer and it barely functioned. Iron was provided, but no ironing board. Overall, would definitely stay again. Great location.

Great Location
Nice 360 degree view. Comfortable great room. Clean, well-stocked kitchen and baths. Sturdy snow shovel was a godsend. Hot tub was actually too hot. we liked The Wapiti for dinner; short walk to town.

Thanks,
Glad you got to experience the beauty of Estes Park in the winter.

My family spent a weekend at this house. We really enjoyed the location. We walked from the house to downtown easily. It's a pretty steep hill to downtown, so be aware of that if you have physical limitations. There is a staircase, but not sure whose property it is. House is clean and well managed. No ridiculous check-out tasks!

Elk Watching
Wonderful location. Cabin very clean, comfortable, sunny/bright, all the comforts of home. Property manager communicated everything we needed to know in a timely manner, no surprises. Estes Park and surrounding area had lots of good restaurants but convenient to eat in as well. Easy walk to downtown shopping and eateries. Nice to sit on deck with great view of mountains and downtown. Many active things to do in the park. We especially enjoyed hiking, elk watching and the open air "adventure ride" up the mountain! Would certainly go back to Estes Park and stay at the cabin again.

We are so happy everyone has made wonderful memories in Estes. Come back anytime.
The location of this place was incredible. The beds are just fine. However, the fuse went out and we couldn't find the breaker. Because of this, we couldn't use the stove or the microwave for our final day. The hot tub was a bit dirty. I'm not sure if the filter was broken or what so we only went in once. That being said, everything else was amazing. The deck is incredible. The view outside each morning made it a great stay. And the location is fantastic.
This property is in the heart of Estes Park. It is easy to walk to and around the town. The house is spacious. The hot tub is like new and very nice. Many of the furnishing were worn and/or broken. It appeared to be furnished with odds and ends or recycled items. Wall decorations adhere to the wall via thumbtacks. Advertised fans make a lot of noise. The noise was problematic at night. I enjoyed my stay; however, due to the lack of polish on the interior I would not return to this house.

We have replaced the worn out recliners and have put in new bedside tables in the master bedroom with power outlets. Yes, the cabin does have some, what I call, vintage or antique furniture in it. ( to me this adds historic charm and sometimes more well made than new furniture) Clearly visible in the photos. We do have large laminated maps of the national park on the walls. These are hard to frame. Hopefully, everyone can see the interior photos of this cabin before they book and decide if it is right for them.
We have been renting cabins/homes in Estes Park since 2009 while I exhibit my art work at the Memorial Day and Labor Day art shows in Bond Park. We stayed at Maybell’s cabin previously, but this was the first time we stayed at Nell’s. Our daughter’s family from Battlement Mesa, CO joined us, and it was a full house with adults and grandkids. The house is within walking distance of Bond Park which allowed Jean to sleep in while I went to work selling art. The hot tub was great after a day on your feet. Nell’s house was built in 1909 and additions have been made. The grandkids liked exploring where all the doors led. The drawer pulls, cabinet latches and “pass thru” bedrooms reminded me of the house I grew up in. If you plan to stay, bring a couple electrical adapters to make 2-prong outlets accept 3-prong devices. Otherwise, the place is up to date with contemporary conveniences.
This place was great. It’s an older cabin, right off the main streets in Estes, and it had everything we needed to feel safe and to have a place to relax and to be close to the city. The only concerning thing was the flooring in front bathroom and kitchen—it wasn’t level and our toddler had a rough time with it. Provided laundry was a huge bonus, the deck and the hot tub were great. We couldn’t turn on the hot tub and they came immediately to fix it. We would love to be able to stay here again.
Nell’s Cabin was the perfect place for us to stay in Estes Park, with lots of room, accommodations and peace and serenity just a few steps away from the heart of downtown. We saw elk grazing just down the street from us! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back!
This property is great for a family that may be doing different activities. Having it so close to downtown was a perk, the views were great. The kitchen is a little rough and not very inviting, but the rest of the cabin was just what we needed. The second bathroom had a shower that was so small no one in our party could fit in it, but the master shower was fine, and we all used that.
Overall great time and experience.
Really enjoyed renting Nell‘s cabin for a destination wedding weekend. Cabin was a great size, great location, and great price. Our VRBO hosts were always responsive when we had questions. Would love to return someday
The cabin was a slice of old school Estes steps away from downtown. The space wa snigger than it looks. Kids loved it and the new hot tub with a view of Longs was a welcome surprise. We would love to visit again.
The location was excellent. Beds need to be upgraded. Not enough doubles. The trundles aren’t great.
It worked well for location. Still needs some upgrades. Hot tub wasn’t working for over half the visit which was really disappointing. It was a cute place.
We had a nice stay. The only detractions were the deck and internet service. The very nice deck is in full sun all day. Our stay was 31 days, and WiFi was very poor most of the time.
