Thank you for sharing your little slice of Colorado paradise. So many wonderful things, beautiful scenery, wonderful accommodations, fully stocked with absolutely everything you could need. Loved the deer that would visit and stay all day, whether we walked outside or not. You made our first visit to Estes Park PERFECT. Close to everything. You can be inside RMNP in less than 10 minutes, at local restaurants and stores in 5 minutes. Perfect location. I stand firm on the 5 stars, only wish you had window coverings on all windows, especially the bedroom. Yes it is fairly secluded (with close neighbors in the front), but, it was a bit uncomfortable with so many windows throughout with no coverings. I know that is personal preference, and this is your cabin, not mine. :) Again, 5 star stay, I would come again. Thank you!

Stay at Bears Den

Nice cabin..stayed 9 days and I didn't want to leave. Very close to Beaver Meadows entrance to RMNP. Excellent location..short drive to Estes Park downtown yet the cabin location seems remote.Frequent elk and deer sightings grazing at the property. Beautiful east facing sliders open onto a great deck and let the morning sun coming shining in. Great place!

The stay at Estes Park Cabins was great! The cabin is newly remodeled as said. The bed on the lower level was not comfortable. That being said I still give the stay a 5star!!

We have been to EstesPark several times, but this was by far the best accommodations . Yes ,it leans small ,but the square footage is well designed . And the deck can’t be beat . It checked all the boxes for us. Loved the contemporary vibe.

Comfortable and beautiful surroundings

Beautiful property close to everything, just minutes from Estes Park in one direction and National Park in the other. Very comfortable bed, nice kitchen for preparing meals and snacks. Gorgeous views from deck. Wasn’t aware of a few steps leading up to house from the driveway, but shouldn’t be an issue for most people. Just something to be aware of if elderly or knee issues. Overall would stay here again. Private and nice.

We loved this property. Even though the square footage is small, it is used efficiently. There was plenty of space in the kitchen and family room for everyone (4 adults) to fit comfortably. The deck is amazing and we saw deer each morning. It is well equipped with nice appliances, lots of cabinet space, and a full size washer/dryer. It’s not quite as remote as the photos indicate, but it’s quiet and super close to the Beaver Meadows entrance. We will definitely be back to stay here!

Prime location close to RMNP and Estes Park. ( RMNP is visible over the ridge behind the house) The house has nice mountain views and sits above the other neighboring homes. We loved the outdoor deck! We found the tight space in the bathroom, bedroom and loft to be challenging after several days. The home also leans down the hill a bit so it takes some adjustment. A good solid choice if you are in the area.

Wanted a quiet retreat into the mountains and this place was perfect. Close to town, walking distance to a perfect little bakery, coffee and spice shop, and minutes from RMNP. The property was beautifully appointed and clean. Lovely bathroom and a kitchen so well stocked we had to make a little shelf room for the food we brought in. The deck has a beautiful view and very spacious. I had several questions which were answered immediately. We loved every minute in this beautiful little house on the mountain.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods

We had an absolutely fabulous time staying at this little cabin in the woods. It was perfect for us to scoot over to Rocky Mtn NP so I could show my friend some of what beauty can be found here in Colorado. The space was beautiful and felt so homie. The only slight annoyances if I can even call them that were that we are both from humid climates and would have appreciated humidifiers. Though my friend did say she found one as we packed up to leave. Our bad! But the other thing was the wifi seemed to go in and out quite a bit. We had to reset the router quite a few times to get through watching things. Which normally I wouldn’t care too much about but we were trying to keep up with Ryan Tryhan’s daily series. Other than that, absolutely LOVED the place. We saw lots of wildlife and both wish to come back and stay here again.

Summer Get-Away

Nice cabin, very clean and close to everything. It has a great deck that we enjoyed eating breakfast on every morning while soaking in the incredible views. There are neighbors, but the area is very quiet and peaceful. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Bathroom is nice, but space is a bit tight. The shower, however, is phenomenal! I would suggest putting a different door on the bathroom as we felt a bit exposed due to the gaps on either side of the sliding "barn" door. The host is very quick to respond, which we appreciate. There was a bit of an issue on our last day as everything in our booking indicated an 11 AM checkout, however the housekeeper showed up at 10. Other than that, it was a great stay for our family of 4.
