The home was clean and comfortable and a great place to relax each day. The beds were made up with plenty of pillows and blankets, and there was additional bedding available if we needed it, as well as plenty of towels. The house was an easy drive to its location and close to our planned activities (Rocky Mountain National Park, The Stanley Hotel), several restaurants, and a grocery store. There was plenty of space and seating for our group on 9, and we saw elk and deer every day. The hot tub was leaking when during our stay, but our host came by every day to fill it up and it got plenty of use.

The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. I brought vanilla just in case but didn't need it. I was impressed with the amount of stuff was in the kitchen for visitors to use. The rooms were big enough for all of us and the kids had plenty to do. The hot tub was clean and hot, just right for sitting in at night and star gazing. Close to town where we did not have to drive far to get a few thing we forgot to bring. We loved this house and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Estes Park, our family had a great time.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Estes Park cabin! The space was extremely comfortable and fully stocked with everything we needed for our visit, condiments, toiletries and coffee including anything we may have needed if we brought a child.The beds were cozy, and there were plenty of blankets to keep us warm. The host was very accommodating and even allowed us to check in a bit earlier, which we really appreciated. The water pressure in the showers was excellent.The wrap-around deck was amazing—perfect for enjoying the views and relaxing outside. The hot tub was a lovely bonus; while it was only at 96 degrees when we arrived, it was still very enjoyable and felt wonderfully private. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone visiting the area!

Met family for Thanksgiving, seven of us. Had a great Thanksgiving meal there. Best VRBO kitchen we could have hoped for. Had pretty much every kitchen pan and gadget we needed, The pantry was also very generously stocked. plus a freezer full of waffles! Location was fantastic, just down the road from good food and a grocery store. 10min from downtown Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the YMCA of the Rockies. The views from the wrap around deck are gorgeous. We had deer in the yard nearly every day. Mary's lake which was just a bit down the road looked beautiful, we didn't get to stop by and regret we didn't. Internet access worked great. The house had several features we didn't take advantage of. Including a few grills, a hot tub.and fishing equipment, The host was incredibly responsive, and easy to get a hold of. We had a special request and are very appreciative of how incredibly accommodating he was. This place is a great value, clean, super comfortable. I would definitely book again.
We all loved it and hope to come back again! A giant Elk greeted us as we pulled up to the property and we just knew it would be a great time for our family!

The house was perfect-we were to have 10 guests but four were unable to join us due to school and work commitments. My nephew was able to join us so we did have a group of 7, 3 of which had never visited Colorado including my youngest grandson, age 17. The younger folks loved the hot tub and used it at least 3 times. As far as the kitchen, I've never rented a home or condo that was as stocked with everything you could possibly need. The home was clean and lacked for nothing. We also enjoy having several game nights as the owners have lots of games to choose from. Thank you for everything! This home was perfect and I hope to return in the next year of so with my folks who couldn't come along last week and we will definitely look at staying at this home once again.

Most Amazing sunrises over Mary’s Lake. Fully stocked kitchen. Great layout of the home. So many places to eat and hang. The kids favorite was the ground squirrels that would take peanuts and carrots from the kids. We will 100% book again based on amenities and location. However, the host was amazing as well. Excellent communication and attention to details. Definitely book this one. You will not regret it!
