The cabin was spotless. Everything worked and we had everything we needed. This was our 3rd trip to Estes Park so we really love it. RMNP was fabulous as usual and elk rut is one of the most fascinating thing I’ve even seen. All in all it was a great trip. We probably won’t be back but it’s a spectacular place!

Cabin was clean and just what we needed. Location was perfect to get into town and into the park. If I had to complain (which I am not) was the lack of A/C, but we knew that going in and the temps were a little warmer than anticipated. There are fans so we were fine at night. If you are looking for convenient location to town or the park this is your place. Bed and pillows were great and comfortable also.

Great get away!

Loved the cabin we stayed in!! It’s stunningly beautiful along the lake. Only misconception is that it said it was a 3 minute walk to downtown. I’d say 10 minutes at a brisk walk and you have to navigate across a round a bout.

Very nice

This little cabin was sweet and adorable. Right by the stream, as shown in the pictures. The bed was very comfortable. It was a little farther than walking distance to the downtown area so we drove and parked. The smell of apple cinnamon greeted us as we entered and then kinda overwhelmed us. We enjoyed our stay here very much and would stay here again.

Comfy and quiet

Lovely, clean cabin. Close to the river with nice seating/eating area. Very comfortable and quiet. Two downsides: large storage units surround the little cabin area, and directly across the river from the cabin is a large retail business and a food truck.

Cute cabin

The cabin was great for us. Nice deck overlooking the river. Close to town. You can hear the music from the Trading Post across the river during the day, but it’s not loud. We’d stay here again. Easy check in/out process in the off hours.

Great Property!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin! We were able to walk into town even with the bridge construction. We appreciated having the washer/dryer, too. One of the best parts was the river and occasional surprise visits by the elk and deer. One visit we had three mama elks with their three babies!

Excellent Cabin!

The cabin was very clean, had a kitchen with everything you need, more than enough of everything you need in general in fact for the whole place. From the south, they don't have AC in Colorado, but that doesn't really matter the place has some fans for you as the nights cool off well. This place was excellent, and you should stay here!
