A. The cabin is outside the hustle and bustle of town. It is spaced far from other cabins and homes, and though you can see them, we have almost two acres and you do not feel close to them. Since the cabin is perched on the mountain side, the valley sometimes echoes noise. Estes park has a dark sky policy including our cottage with all fixtures that direct all light downward. On a clear night you can see a beautiful display of stars against the back-drop of the mountains.

A: The road to the cabin is 0.3 miles from the paved Marys Lake Road. This section (0.3 miles) is unpaved and a sizeable portion of this road is shared with other properties. Only 60 ft of this road is bumpy. We are working with the neighbors to repair the bumpy portion of the road. We have a Prius C and no problems accessing the property.

    Our weeklong stay at Pinecone Cabin nothing short of fantastic. The property location and views cannot be beat if you have plans involving visiting Estes Park, dining out or visiting RMNP as we did. The cabin was cozy and beds quite comfortable. The cabin decor was nice with a rustic mountain theme which added to our experience. In the mornings and evenings, it was fantastic just to go out on the deck and enjoy the awesome scenery. Also, daily we heard and saw elk bugling from our porch! We would highly recommend the Pinecone Cabin and plan on staying there upon our next return to the Estes Park area. Our weeklong stay was a memory maker! Thanks Janet for hospitality and making our stay enjoyable.

    Very nice cabin with very good views. Comfortable furnishings and fully stocked kitchen.. Fast wi-fi and good tv situation. Feels secluded and has a nice deck with mountain views. We stay in Estes Park often and would not hesitate to recommend Pinecone Cottage.

    We had a fantastic stay at this cabin! The view was beautiful, and the cozy decor made it feel like a true mountain retreat. The main bedroom and bathroom were spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed.We really appreciated the clear communication, both through VRBO and the helpful notes in the cabin. The snacks and bottled water were such a thoughtful gesture. Best of all, the location was incredibly convenient to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park, which made exploring effortless. We’d definitely love to stay again!

    This is a very cute cabin. Nice and rustic. Cozy. I do have to say we were not comfortable with the mattresses in the master. We even tried sleeping in separate beds. Really struggle with the beds. Janet was absolutely ! She was so kind and helpful. I just can’t say enough good things about her. We did contact her about a. Out of things and she is on top of all! Very helpful.

    Great spot for our week in the Rockies! The view from the porch is amazing. Everything was as described. The location is ideal, close to the park and town. The host went above and beyond to make our stay special. I would highly recommend!

    We loved this home so much!! The hosts were awesome as well !! The view is beautiful. I sat on the deck a lot to soak in the mountains. We saw elk , deer, prairie dogs , ground squirrels, chipmunks, birds different from the ones we have back home all from the deck . The drive to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park downtown is extremely short and we did both multiple times!! The home is very clean with extra perks we didn’t even expect !! We would love to stay here again next time we are in the area!! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars !!!

    Quite well cared for property. A lot of stairs which would not be suitable for older guests, but fine for family.

    My wife and two small children accompanied me on this trip to Estes Park. I cannot say enough good things about this host. While we were there we had a few questions, and the host was incredibly responsive and timely. The cabin had all that we needed, and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway in Estes Park. The views were also amazing as well as the wildlife!
