House is spacious and close to RMNP. Beautiful views. No lights that work around stairs outside makes it unsafe to walk up that many steps in the dark. Master suite carpet is stained and dirty. Room is very outdated, musty & old smelling. Downstairs bedrooms are also musty and old smelling with small dangerous stair case to get downstairs (thankfully we didn't have anyone staying down there). Beds are hard as a rock and very uncomfortable. Was expecting better for the price.

This is truly a spectacular home in the heart of Estes Park. It was very easy to get to wherever we wanted to go in Estes Park from here. The view is stunning and it feels very private as the properties in this neighborhood are expansive. There is an easy entrance to the ground floor bedrooms from the front porch, that has easy access just off the driveway. You should plan to use that entrance to take in the belongings for those planning to sleep on that floor. Everything else should go in the front door entrance. There is so much room for everyone to gather together at the huge dining table just off the kitchen that naturally flows into the comfort of the main family room. Which was really nice in the evening to gather and play games, eat, and do puzzles. The first thing I did was pull up the blinds for the numerous windows to see the striking view. We all enjoyed coffee on the wraparound porch. I would certainly stay here again.

Absolutely loved our stay at Bishop’s Retreat! The cabin is perched on a stunning mountainside with breathtaking views of Longs Peak and other snow-capped peaks—we spent hours just relaxing on the deck, taking it all in. The location couldn’t be better: incredibly close to the RMNP entrance, which made it easy to beat the crowds and enjoy early morning hikes. The home itself is spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed—from toilet paper and tissues to coffee, spices, and even dish and laundry detergent. All the little touches made a big difference. This is a true mountain gem—we’d come back in a heartbeat!

Perfect property for RMNP

Easy access to Estes Park and RMNP. Surrounded by boulders, hills, streams, and wildlife. Very clean and comfortable, and the views out of the front windows are unbeatable. We plan on returning to this property later this year.

Wonderful Mountain Chalet

What a wonderful visit we had. The mountain views were spectacular. The elk walking through the yard was such a treat. The early morning coffee on the deck with family was so relaxing. Everything we needed was available and so close to downtown Estes Park. We would definitely recommend this cabin and hoping we can stay there again in the future.

Bishops Retreat for RMNP Wedding

We had a great experience at this property. We had planned a wedding in Rocky Mountain national Park, and even though it was cold and snowy, everything went off as planned. The home was well appointed and well heated. We had plenty of space for our guests, plenty of hot water for showers, and enjoyed our stay immensely.

Great location, beautiful scenery

The house was very spacious for our group of 6. Everyone had their own space and the community areas were awesome. Broad spacious views of the Rockies, short drive into town, just an overall great weekend. Downstairs bedrooms had external private access, or a very tight spiral staircase from the living room area for internal access. We managed it pretty good, but if you had little ones, you may want to bring a gate to ensure they don’t tumble down. Upstairs room is a whole floor to yourself and extremely comfortable. Exterior spaces were more than enough for our group. Would stay here again, but would take the listing recommendation to bring extra toilet paper and paper towels since extras are not provided beyond the initial rolls when you arrive.

Beautiful setting-inadequate heating system!

It was cold and snowing. Beautiful setting. Very frustrating that the heating system was so in adequate. 1/2 of the house was controlled by one boiler the other half by another. The main part of the house where the kitchen is and dining room never got above 64°. The other side of the house was too hot. The toilet on the main floor was backed up and did not work. It was too bad because it was a beautiful stately old ranch style home with very interesting decor and furniture.

Pre-wedding breath of fresh air

Just wan the doctor ordered. Came early to relax for a few days before our daughter's wedding in Lyons. Morning coffee on the deck overlooking Long's Peak as it is bathed in rose colored rays of light from the rising sun. Location close to everything in Estes Park but you feel like you have your own private glen. Fantastic dark sky for star gazing and watching satellites zooming across the sky while enjoying an evening cocktail. perfect getaway for the family to take a breath before the wedding train left the station.
