We really enjoyed our stay here. The beds were all very comfortable. One window in the master was open when we arrived and not able to close all the way. My sister and brother in law were awoken and surprised to hear elk bugling early in the morning. We were able to see turkeys and deer by the creek. It was an easy drive to town and to all the sights we wanted to see including RMNP. We were surprised that the house was actually more like a duplex. That was the only issue. We would stay here again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Cherie! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the comfortable beds, the easy drive to Rocky Mountain National Park, and the incredible wildlife sightings by the creek—the early morning elk bugling is truly a classic Colorado experience! We appreciate your feedback regarding the master bedroom window and will have our maintenance team look at it right away to ensure it closes properly. We also appreciate your note about the property layout. To help guests visualize the setup, our listing does specify that the property is a townhome, which shares a wall with a neighboring unit. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we would be absolutely delighted to host you and your family again on your next trip to the mountains! Warm regards, SkyRun Rocky Mountain

If You’re Looking for Quiet Getaway Book This Property!

My husband and I were looking for a nice quiet get away before the hustle and bustle of the holidays and this house and beautiful surroundings fit the bill! The cabin was extremely clean and comfortable with large windows showing off the scenery. The kitchen was the perfect size and bathrooms were lovely. All the bedrooms were well decorated with comfortable beds. Highly recommend and will stay again.

The location is unmatched during elk bugling season. There's a game trail across the river right outside. Easy park access. Beautiful house. They don't want you to play in the river, so let that factor in to your expectations. Highly recommend.

Our Home Away From Home

We stayed at Tranquility 3 for many years, it truly feels like our second home. The community of Estes Park is full of fine folks and we’ve come to call some our friends! Having RMNP near by and endless nature encounters is Colorado at its finest. After a busy day, having a place to hang your hat is the best!

A little piece of heaven

Tranquility . . . a perfect name for this spot, right next to the river! We enjoyed our stay which included a beautiful snowfall towards then end of our trip. This place has everything we need, and so easy to access the park and downtown (despite the road construction). A+

Easy Access to RMNP and Close to Main Street

The property had everything you need to cook or bbq. It was really close to a local market. We enjoy cooking breakfast and dinner and having lunch in town. The rooms were nicely furnished and the pool table was a hit in the evenings. The dining table is huge, so we did a puzzle on one end. Not too many tourists for this time of year, but the fires might have kept people away. We saw deer, hummingbirds, magpies, but no fish. That's ok. The weather was cool in the evenings and the nighttime breezes were great. This location does not have air-conditioning--no problem. Great time had by all!

Tranquility on the River Along with Lots of Fun

We rented Tranquility on the River units Three and Four to accommodate our kids and grandchildren. We wanted to spend a Christmas all together with an emphasis on experiences instead of gifts. With a base number of 13 ranging in age from 8 to 70-somethings, including teens, and college kids, it was more action-packed than tranquil, but it was what just we wanted. We played lots of games. The foosball and pool tables saw a lot of action, but we also had enough room for a variety of games, puzzles, watching holiday sports, shared meals and snacks. The location was great! We ran out of time to do everything on our list, but we bowled, rode the Mountain Coaster, spotted some wildlife, enjoyed the holiday lights, hung out together, and had a Christmas vacation none of us will ever forget. The Christmas trees were a hit. We added decorations and stockings. And, to the delight of our 8 year old, who wondered how he'd find us, Santa arrived. The big kids wrote Santa notes, made reindeer tracks and left footprints.

The house was in a great location. We enjoyed being on the river and seeing all the wildlife. The view inside the house was great with all of the big windows. The beds were comfy and everything was very clean. If you like to cozy up outside or on the couch, bring your own throw blanket. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Hi Melissa, thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are thrilled that you loved the river views and wildlife.

Beautiful Location

This is our second time staying at this property. Just can’t beat the river in the backyard, picturesque views, abundant windows and space for our whole family. The property is very clean and the kitchen had all the amenities we needed. The wifi worked well. I will say that we were disappointed that the tv was not a smart tv so we were unable to use our streaming services. Also we were unable to get the dvd player to play movies. But we did enjoy spending time playing pool! Would definitely stay here again!

Great trip

Great location and setup for our family of 6 adults. Close to park entrance and Estes. Advantage is don't have to drive through Estes to get to park entrance; located between the two. Pool table was fun evening activity. Saw some elk out the window. Caught several trout in river in backyard. Third stay in this home for a reason.

Relaxing

This vacation rental was great. We had elk walk right in front of the back window. It has great reviews. We did have a maintenance issue but it was taken care of promptly. The only complaint I have was that we were notified by management that they had to access our unit due to a wi fi issue in the unit next door and we were already gone on a hike without cell service so they allowed someone in our unit without our knowledge or the ability to be present.
