    Very clean and cozy cabins situated conveniently close to all the activities we had planned. Also, more wildlife than I have ever seen on any trip to Estes!

    Ideal location to get to the park and get to town. Very cute cabins. Spouse and I stayed in Smiling Elk with the queen bed, laundry and kitchen. Mom and sister stayed in Little Bear with mini fridge and 2 twin beds. We had separation when wanted but could also get together for evening activities.

    Cute cabin was just right for my wife and I. The location was ideal; close to rocky mtn national park and just far enough out of Estes Park hustle and bustle. We loved having the BBQ Grill for cooking our lunches and dinners. We even acquired some Elk from the local market just down the street. The booking included 2 cabins, one we did not use but would work well if we bring the grandkids next time.

    Our hosts were top notch. We rented cabin 913 & 915 and they had everything that we needed. 913 had the full bathroom, stove and washer/dryer, but 915 had everything that you need for hiking and seeing Estes Park & RMNP. Karen stocked the cabin with evrything that we needed. Even stopped by to check-in on us! A hosts and stay. Would highly recommend to anyone. When we come back to RMNP, we will stay here for sure

    close to RMNP and just far enough away from Estes Park, which was very busy. We enjoyed the quiet location and the 2 cabins proved to be very useful for our dynamic group. Highly recommend!

    My friends and I had a great time. We came for spring break and it was the most perfect layout. It was 4 people, me and my partner and our two friends. We were able to figure out the sleeping situation so easily. The location is beautiful and it’s so close to everything we needed.Absolutely recommend this place. My partner is excited to come back!

    Tucked away with a beautiful mountain view. Very clean and functional, nicely decorated and comfortable. Stayed two nights in the main cabin while son and his girlfriend stayed in the smaller cabin. Was exactly as listed and would stay here again!

    We loved staying at the cabins, they were so cute, comfortable, and convenient as well as being so well stocked with items travelers need. The location was perfect for entrance to the park and also for shopping and restaurants. Having two couples, it was nice having two cabins.

    This was the best vacation our family has ever had. The location was very convenient to downtown Estes Park as well as Rocky mountain national Park. The double cabins were the perfect situation for my wife and kids and I, and my mother and father-in-law that joined us on our trip it let us spend time together, while at the same time having our own space. Everything you could possibly need was already stocked in the cabins to include utensils, cookware, laundry supplies, etc. We would definitely like to stay here again in the future!

    We loved staying in these beautiful cabins for the week! The proximity to the park was key as we were able to quickly start our morning hikes or see sunrise and sunset and take an afternoon nap to recharge when needed. It was about 10 minutes to get through the park entrance and the Bear Lake timed entry check point, without traffic. The beds were comfortable and the cabins well stocked with everything we needed. Our daughter was able to take advantage of the trolley stop close by one day after shopping in Estes. The owners quickly responded to any questions we had leading up to our trip.

    My partner and I were in Estes Park for the hiking mostly. This cabin was perfect for our needs. It was a great place to recharge after a long day on the trails. We appreciated the A/C in this cabin as it was very hot for the first part of our stay. We also appreciated the location as it is close to the park and to downtown. Scott and Karen were excellent hosts. SUPER communicative and gave us lots of recommendations for places to eat and how to avoid the construction downtown. Five stars. Would definitely stay again!

    Our family loved staying in these cabins. We have older children and they thought it was so fun to be able to stay in a separate cabin from the grown ups. It was close to RMNP and conveniently located to a small market and an incredibly delicious deli/bakery called Scratch. We also saw plenty of nature (little rabbits, birds, and elk) in the yard as well. The owners were super responsive when we had questions, though most things were self-explanatory. They had huge washers and dryers in the very spacious bathroom in the main cabin. What a great bonus after hiking at RMNP! The owners also stock with essentials like laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and even makeup remover. The only caveat I would give to these cabins is that the main cabin has a fairly small kitchen that is well stocked with dishes and utensils, but had only a small and pretty damaged collection of pots, trays, etc.. We were able to do some minimal cooking, but not the way we are used to with most VRBOS we stay at. If you are planning on doing a lot of indoor cooking, this may not be the place for you. For everyone else, I'd highly recommend staying here.

    We loved the cabins! Far above our expectations. Clean and comfortable with everything we needed. In the afternoon 7or 8 grazed and lounged in the yard next door. We will defiantly stay again and recommend them a to everyone! The hosts were great and responsive.
