The location of the cabin is wonderful! It was quiet and we saw deer and elk while we were there. We also saw and heard a ton of hummingbirds. The view of the mountains from the deck is amazing!

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.

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!

Wonderful Stay!

We enjoyed all aspects of this charming, beautifully updated/new home! Beautiful setting, great deck, close to YMCA, and Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park. Perfect for a couple or small family, but could be tight quarters for couples sharing. Truly a lovely place - hope to return someday.

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.
