Perfect for us!
My daughter and I visit Estes Park regularly and this was our favorite rental so far. It has plenty of room with two king beds and two bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. It is quiet and comfortable. Would be perfect for two couples or a family plus there is an identical unit next door if your party needs more space! Close to RMNP and town too. We will definitely stay again.

We have stayed here twice and we love the location. It’s right next to the state park entrance & just a few min to downtown Estes Park. The shower curtains and couches/couch cushions could be replaced & maybe a little more updates. Other then that we enjoyed our stay.

Great Stay!
This property was just the right size for a week-long get-away. It is the perfect distance from everything in Estes Park. The location made it feel like we were away from the "hustle and bustle" but it was still convenient when we needed something from town or wanted to explore.

Perfect location, right outside of town.
This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. A quiet place right outside of town and near Rocky Mountain National Park. The property was clean and the cabin was well decorated and very open. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus as well. Since you are outside of town, you can sit in the hot tub in the evening and just gaze at the stars without the lights from town drowning out your view. We will definitely be back!

Perfect location to access RMNP as well as Estes Park.
The house was well equipped and very roomy. well maintained throughout. The only thing we were lacking was comfortable out door seating; there is a bench on the front patio but not a good place to sit and look at the amazing view. The back does have a picnic table which was ok too but could use chairs even folding camp chairs would be ok for when outside grilling. Beautiful place and close to everything, would even be great for families to coordinate renting the connected unit if owned by the same owners.
