Stayed Jul 31, 2025Everything is as advertised. We loved sitting on the back porch and listening to the river. We saw maybe 10 elk one morning passing through. It was a great proximity to downtown Estes and the national park. I would definitely stay here again.

Stayed Jul 16, 2025Great stay. There were 4 adults in our group. Plenty of space. Cabin is about 5 minutes from all of the Estes action and about 5 minutes from the RMNP entrance. Cabin was very clean and the creek is about 40' from the back deck...very nice.

Stayed Sep 23, 2024We loved our stay! The place was clean and kept up well. Had the windows open at night to sleep to the sounds of the river. The place was decorated very nicely and the cabin vibes made you right at home. The hosts were very responsive when we had questions. Bonus sightings of bears running through the backyard and a lynx and her baby hanging out on the other side of the river. Highly recommend!

Stayed Sep 18, 2024We have been visiting Estes Park for almost 20 years and this is one of our most favorite properties; very well maintained and decorated, great location right on the Big Thompson river...nothing better than cool mountain air and the sound of the river outside of you open windows! Thanks for sharing this wonderful property!

Stayed Jun 23, 2024My husband and I and a close girlfriend stayed for three nights, but wish we could have stayed longer! Your home was so cozy and beautiful. The beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows were wonderful as well. We spent lots of time hiking, but also sitting out back by the river. We saw magpies and a hummingbird came very close to my friends face, and it was so funny. Highly recommend this home. Kathy, Tim and Trish.

Stayed Jun 26, 2024Cute and cozy cottage right by the river. We had a great stay, it was the perfect jump point for several hikes nearby. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Even appreciated the gas grill outside. Only hick up was the address provided in the check in email took us to the first house on the right when entering the neighborhood. We interrupted a nice group on their vacation before we found out we should take the left into the neighborhood. Whoops!
