Awesome mountain cabin in Estes

My son and I had a great staycation in Estes and really enjoyed the Blue Jay Bungalow. It was the perfect size and had everything we needed. I loved my mornings on the porch with the view of Longs Peak. The location was great, too. Close to town but far enough away to have peace and quiet. I would stay here again!

We loved our stay here, but pretty sure the listing did mention laundry and there was no laundry available in the house. That's a very small gripe in the grand scheme of things because that's not why we chose the house. All in all I would absolutely stay here again the location was phenomenal, outside of downtown Estes Park but still easily accessible, and right on the entrance drive to the National Park.

Hi Daniel, thanks so much for your review. I have copied and pasted the following directly out of the listing: “ There is not a washer or dryer in the cabin, but a laundromat is nearby.” I am sorry you thought this home had laundry facilities, but am happy you had an enjoyable stay! Please come back and see us in Estes Park!

Extremely close to the action, but at the same time very quiet and peaceful. We saw deer and a bobcat from the property. Never Gabor’s we’re closer than I thought from the pictures, but still very quiet and peaceful. We had a lovely time.

Hi Aram, Thanks for your review. Blue Jay Bungalow is a quaint mountain cabin and we hope that you enjoyed your stay. We are definitely in the mountains here and Blue Jay is no exception.

Perfect little cabin, great location

We visit Estes most summers and this area is a favorite for getting into the park. This was a perfect cabin for my husband and I. Looks exactly like the pictures. We didn’t cook but kitchen has all the basics. Water pressure in shower was fabulous! The couch is a bit tired but other than that, the house is comfortable and we would definitely rent again. Oh and the king mattress was super comfy.

Cozy cabin

My husband and I stayed at the Blur Jay Bungalow in August for a week and loved every minute of it! The cabin was a perfect size for us and the furniture was so comfy (especially the King size bed in the master bedroom). The views from every window were just breathtaking and I got to see so many new birds that we don't have near me. We also had visits from Mule deer, chipmunks, ground squirrels and I even caught a glimpse of an American pika! Any time I emailed with questions, I received a quick and helpful response. My husband and I will definitely be returning the the Blue Jay Bungalow again to enjoy the peace and beauty that it offers!!!
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Aug, 2024
OMG we are so happy you enjoyed that great cabin. I live just down the road from there so I know the views are to die for and the animals are everywhere up there. Still close to the Town of Estes Park and the entrance to Rocky Mountain National park but far enough away to enjoy the peace.

This is my third time staying at the Bluejay in the past 5 years. It has the perfect amount of charm along with practicality that make it ideal. Once again, I had deer in the front of the cabin. It’s super quiet… I never hear another person or car. And one of the biggest perks is that it is so close to the park entrance. I think it took me three minutes to get to the gate. Great for those who want to hike early. Love the changes to the flooring & kitchen cabinets …..& the electric fireplace.

Small Cabin tucked away in the mountains

The cabin was clean and served its purpose. It did not have TV’s in the bedrooms but we really only used it for a place to rest our heads. Our kids used our iPad at night to wind down in the bedroom. It’s located at the end of a road away from town and offers a little bit of privacy. It was nice that they had fans in the closet for night time to pull in some fresh air. Beds were comfortable. Only negatives was there is not a washer and dryer on site. We typically stay at bigger cabins where we wash clothes before our next adventure location. This was owned by a property group and they have washer and dryers in their main location off-site. It also would have been nice to have a light out front for unloading the vehicle. Bring a flashlight so you can see in your car. There is a front porch light for the screened in porch which offers a little light. Internet service worked great for uploading photos of our journey. We saw one elk on property early morning. When we leave a property, we make sure we clean it up and leave it the way we found it.

You are the perfect guests!! Thank you for advising future guests to bring flashlights, being in the mountains most homes don't have many bright outdoor lights. It was wonderful you got to see some wildlife, and that you weren't too put off not having tv's in all the bedrooms. Best of all leaving it the way you found it is such a beautiful thing!! Hurry back, SkyRun would love to host you again.
