    A cute cabin just outside of downtown Estes Park. Easy to get to & easy to get to downtown. So close to Rocky Mountain National Park. Great views. Quiet neighborhood. Large enough for 2 or 3.

    Great value for area. Home cooking options decrease expenditure in tourist area restaurants. Also allows flexibility to pack picnic lunches while visiting the national park.

    Our stay here was wonderful. Communication with Jay (owner) was excellent in advance of our arrival, making check in easy. The cottage was very roomy with a comfortable bed and sofa, fully equipped kitchen, and large bathroom. Everything was very clean and well appointed. The last couple of days we had a lot of snow and cold weather, so the electric fireplace (with heat) came in handy, and also created a nice romantic ambiance. There were a lot of deer in the yard several of the mornings and the back deck provided a nice view of the mountains. The location is perfect as it’s close to town and the entrance to the RMNP. And we could walk to dinner at the Rock Inn Mountain Tavern (which also has great food and service, and live music). It was just perfect for the week long mountain getaway with my wife. We will definitely look to stay here again the next time we visit Estes Park, if available.

    We had a great time staying at the cabin. The cabin was clean, very well stocked, great views and a pleasure to stay at. The cabin offers easy access to the RMNP and downtown. We saw mule deer in the yard every evening. Jay was helpful and great to visit with.

    This cozy cabin is immaculate and comfortable and in a very quiet location. It is near the park entrance, dining and a grocery store. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking and eating utensils. The bathroom is also well stocked with plenty of towels, etc. I will definitely stay again.

    Modern, clean cottage with plenty of room. Fully equipped with everything you need for cooking and housekeeping. Great location 6 minutes from the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. We stayed two nights in November, but this place is well equipped for a longer stay. It was cold and windy outside, but we were toasty warm with heat from the main unit, the electric fireplace, and the wall mounted heat/AC unit. There was also a space heater. The bed with a foam topper was so comfortable that we decided to buy a topper for our bed at home. There was a great view of Long’s Peak from and the night sky from the deck was spectacular. The host was excellent, with great communication.

    Charming little place to ease the burden of getting in and out of Estes Park over a weekend. We needed a spot for two nights that was affordable but romantic as well.

    This is our second time staying at this comfortable, affordable,and attractive cottage. The electric fireplace, ceiling fan, and Jacuzzi tub are nice amenities. My husband and I slept well here, and we ate most of our breakfasts and dinners here as well. I love the location because we didn’t need to drive through Estes Park to get to the national park. We highly recommend it. Jay, our host, was accessible but respectful our privacy.

    Despite the studio-like accommodations, everything was so spacious and not crowded at all. The kitchen had tons on counter space and storage, as did the bathroom. The beautiful balcony was great for bird watching and stargazing. One thing to note is that mattress is on the soft side, which we liked, but keep in mind if that’s a deal breaker. In unit laundry was extremely convenient for us and the location was perfect. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this cozy little space.

    The cottage was perfect! It had everything I needed for a wonderful stay. A fireplace heater, AC, all kitchenware for a nice meal, Roku/Smart TV. And the location was outstanding - so close to both RMNP, Bear Lake, and to town! Lots of wildlife, birds, deer/elk visited as well :)I would absolutely stay again!

    The cottage was in a quiet neighborhood on the edge of town. Well equipped such that it felt like we were in our own house. Mr Vetter was a kind man that I had a nice visit with as we were leaving.

    This chalet was ideal for me. The place had all the amenities one could expect and more, plus a simple but efficient layout. You can see a snow-capped peak or two from the deck out back (equipped with a grill) as well as a small stream. A neighbor's bird feeder attracts feathered-friends that were unfamiliar to me.And it would be difficult to find an available property closer to the park entrance...or to the road leading south along the eastern edge of the park to Indian Peaks. If you want, you can stock up on supplies in Estes Park and avoid that traffic for the rest of your stay...although the town has several charming shops accessible if you avoid peak times and find a place to park.The chalet sits diagonally next to the owners' big house. That may freak some out, but I had several pleasant conversations with them and they leave you alone unless you need something. They have thoughtfully created a mini-guidebook with everything from to local eating establishments to their favorite hikes.It's a newer structure and very clean and attractive (compared to some of the houses down the road, FWIW).I would for sure stay there again.-IMPORTANT: Well before your visit, get your timed entry passes to the national park...and parking passes for Indian Peaks if desired.

    Jays cottage is in an excellent condition and includes everything for a comfortable stay. The Beaver Meadow entrance station of the RMNP less than 5 minutes from the cottage, so it's very convenient for a visit of RMNP. And Jay is a very friendly and helpful host.

    This was a peaceful little gem of a cottage. The owners live in front and are friendly; you're in the back and will look out over their wild-life filled backyard. The area is not super remote but it is not as busy as other motel-filled spots in the area. Really close to the park. I loved the small back deck too.

    I was in Estes Park for 3 days. This property was perfect for my needs. Very nice cabin with everything I needed. I met the host a couple of times and we had some nice conversations.At the same time, I had complete privacy. Great location to get to RMNP. and many good restaurants nearby. A great restaurant about a half block from the property. Easy access to downtown EP. Overall, a very nice place to stay and I have it at the top of my list for my next trip to Estes Park.
