Nice place and location. Had some issues with the front and back door locks. I suggest bringing water. The tap water has a funky taste. The hot tub was nice. Some road noise.

Clean, the only thing the shower didn't work very well. And didn't have a trash bag in the kitchen. Good thing we had some in the car. There was also a coffee maker just no coffee to brew. Couldn't figure out the oven but not a big deal. Had a much needed get away. Very beautiful and was able to fish right off of the balcony which was a plus for hubby. Overall it was amazing!! Hot tube was nice too.

Just a great cozy, rustic cabin on the river, hot tub was amazing, got some snow and watching fall was so relaxing. Great escape for me, my wife and our dog, close enough to Estes if you need anything but not too close where you see and hear everyone. The only issues for us were the water pressure in the bathroom, and in the photos it shows like a K-Cup but when we got there it was a coffee pot, not a deal break just drove up to Ziggis for morning coff, great drive early in the morning and saw some deer, great time and experience, we would love to do it again. Thank you.

Nice Stay in Estes

Everyone was very nice. The cabin is located right on Fall River which made hot tubbing in the evening very enjoyable.

At Wendys ever after cottage

We had an amazing stay, it was in excellent proximity to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. It was super clean with everything we needed. The hot tub and the amazing close up view of the flowing river were the best part. We would definitely stay here again.

Anniversary stay

We spent our 30th anniversary at this lovely cabin. Had such a great time at the national park and Estes Park. Would definitely recommend and go back. The back deck with the river and jacuzzi were just such a bonus! Had a nice visit from several elk while there.

Great location

Great location in the canyon. Everything was as expected in the cabin. Felt very much at home and relaxed during our three night stay. Hot tub makes this a five star but can’t beat the beautiful sound of the big Thompson river out the back. Great fishing location. Owners showed great care for the property and had excellent communication with the booking. Would stay again.
