All this and elk too

This home was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked for a party of 6, in an excellent location. Highly recommended. Elk with their young were spotted from the deck almost daily in a field across the street.

A wonderful cottage with a great location

This cottage was perfect for our small family reunion! We cooked a lot in the well-stocked kitchen and loved eating on the front deck. One evening we had a great view of many elk! The location allows for quick access to RMNP, and Estes Park shops are just a quick walk away. We hope to return to the Owl’s Nest!

Fabulous Stay

This home was wonderful! Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Comfortable beds and room enough for all of us to spread out. The porch in front was an extra plus for morning coffee and evening cocktails with a spectacular view. There is also a yard that is added place to hang. There is a corn hole game in the shed. The location is a couple blocks from the Main Street and relatively easy walk. The incline walking home provides some extra cardio in your day but it is short lived. We were able to drive to hiking spots and Rocky Mountain National Park easily. Really can’t say enough about this place. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Amazing house

The house was the perfect little space for our trip. It was very close to town which made for a great experience. The house was very clean upon arrival. They even had baby/ toddler items like a pack n play, stroller, highchair and baby gate. These items were very helpful for our family. I highly recommend this house

Magically Christmas Stay

My family and family friends stayed here for our Christmas vacation. It was amazing! The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed. It was a perfect location. We like to walk to places, mostly, and the cabin was just a couple minutes to the downtown shopping area. We loved every about it. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. We would stay here again. Highly recommended!

Cozy Cottage

This was an excellent property that met our needs for my husband and two 70+ year old relatives. One seventy year old with slight mobility issues was able to navigate the home without issues. The cottage had everything you could need, plenty of towels, kitchen well stocked, and great lighting throughout. Highly recommend this property.

Fantastic Stay

The location of the property was ideal to be close to town where we could walk everywhere near and we had access to both entrances of the park with ease. The house was very clean, had everything we needed, plenty of space, and was an overall comfortable stay and environment. I’d recommend the location to anyone and look to book again in the future if available!

Wonderful Stay :)

House is well taken care of with little features that made this a great stay. Love the notes that helped us navigate the house & the stuff in drawers/cabinets was laid out so you can find what you're looking for. Kitchen well stocked with all the essential cookware & utensils. Only suggestion is that it would be great if coffee was provided for at least the first morning. Beds were very comfy and we loved that there are extra pillows and blankets available. Master bedroom is beautiful and the thick carpeting on the stairs keeps things quieter. The whole house has a cozy feel to it & can't beat the location! Quiet neighborhood...don't worry about the barky dogs across the street...thought it might be a problem, but they settled down. Couple minute walk to downtown shops, bars & restaurants and the Birch Ruins are nearby if you want a place to take a short walk and learn a little history about this area. Communication with the owner was excellent. Seriously, this is one of the best VRBOs my family has stayed in.
