We stayed in July with our family of 4, with two teenage daughters and this place was perfect. Everything was nice, clean and it was very well stocked. Perfect location just the the edge of town and quick drive to RMNP. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well. We would definitely pick Owls nest again for our Estes stay.

I will remember for next time
Location was ideal for Estes Park and RMNP. Very comfortable two bed two bath. Clean and tidy. Price was comparable to surrounding accommodations but it is always nice to have your own kitchen.
