    The house its self was very nice. My feedback would be three things- the heating system is a tad confusing in the house, the hot tub wouldn’t heat up beyond 98 degrees, and their was a wasp infestation in the queen/twin bedroom.

    This is our second stay at this cabin. We absolutely love it! The host is very attentive always responds to inquiries or concerns quickly. This time we had to come in a day early to beat the storm the hotel we stayed in we had to check out early and our host allowed us an early check in based on our situation. It was clean and beautiful. I would highly recommend!!

    Although estetically pleasing, this high priced home was definately worth it. When I spend this much money to rent a VRBO, I expect things to be in good working order and at least the bed to be comfortabe. The master bedroom was a wreck. Lumpy and overused bed topper, broken shower handle, no plug for the oversized tub. Bathroom dirtu, urine behind toilet lid, overall highly disappiinted.

    Our family, adults and three teens, thoroughly enjoyed our Estes Park vacation at this property. Great, quiet location, amenities, open floor plan, wild animal viewing, fishing in the river, walks to the store/ice cream and close to RMNP entrance. Highly recommend!

    House was large and very equipped with things you needed or might have forgotten to bring. We saw mule deer , elk and turkey nearby. Quiet area. We were comfortable. Recommend better vacuum for cleaning and thorough dusting for cobwebs in house.

    This beautiful cabin is tucked in the middle of this amazing property. We had elk visit us every evening while we were sitting on the beautiful porch overlooking the property. We really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub star gazing every night. We were close to estes park and close to the rocky mountain national park entrance. I will be going back and staying at this beautiful home again next year!!
