The house was clean & spacious. The kitchen was well stocked.. we were able to have a cookie baking day & prepare meals for 16 people everyday. The host, Julie was quick to respond to our questions. She called to make sure we got into the house ok & reviewed how things worked. We appreciated the small touches..Kleenex, night lights, a broom & vacuum stick, throw blankets. The location was perfect..close to downtown Estes as well as the park entrance. Would highly recommend for large groups!

This home was perfect for our family vacation. There were 10 adults, 2 babies, and 3 toddlers and plenty of room for us all. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare meals big & small. There was a cabinet with tons of spices and canned sodas and some other odds & ends for cooking. Loved that there were 2 dishwashers & 2 washer/dryers! The booster seat and high chair were a plus too! And I can't leave out the beautiful dining table and view as your dining! The view was AMAZING!! We admired it every day. It was a short drive to the National Park which we explored all week. We also were able to watch some Elk off the back decks. The neighborhood is very quiet and it's a very short drive into downtown. It's amazing how many stars you can see at night as everyone keeps the outdoor lights off and there are no street lights. The homeowners called to make sure we arrived safe & sound and were very easy to communicate with if we had any questions or concerns. We had a great time. We're definitely keeping this beautiful home on our list!

Beautiful location! Plenty of space for everyone with lots of entertainment options at the house. The kitchen is well-stocked and has a double oven and a huge refrigerator/freezer. We really enjoyed the main deck and the fire pit. The decor is darling with lots of attention to detail. I lived that each bedroom has a name and theme (Moose, Trout, etc). I wish we could have stayed longer!

Family Vacation
My wife and I took our children and their grandchildren on a trip to Estes Park and the RMNP June 7-13. The house was in great shape and was perfect for our large family. We had 10 adults and 7 grandchildren. Plenty of room for all. The kids had a fun time with all the furnished games like the basketball court, air hockey, shuffle board and the hot tub of course. The house is situated on a hill with a big deck facing the Rockies. What a view! Deer and Elk came by and the weather was great. This house was close to the RMNP entrance so in that respect it was in a very good location and still close to Estes Park. We went for the park and to be together and it was all good! Everybody loved the place and would love to come back again.

Perfect Family Gathering Location
This was exactly what we were looking for to get the family together and have enough space for everyone to be comfortable. The game room was good for both the kids and competitive adults. Enough space for everyone to either gather together in the large spaces or to escape to your own area of the house if you wanted. Will definitely consider another stay of the family decides to do another trip to Estes Park.

On the Doorstep of the Rocky Mountain National Park
We had an amazing time at this property. The location is perfect, just minutes away from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and the charming town of Estes Park.
The house itself is incredibly spacious, perfect for our large group. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The game room, the basketball court and the hot tub kept both kids and adults entertained, while the large deck offered stunning views of the National Park — the sunsets were breathtaking!
One of the highlights of our stay was the wildlife. We were lucky enough to spot bobcats, deer, and elk right from the deck.
We like to prepare our meals so we enjoyed the well-equipped and spacious kitchen, with a large dining table that served as our gathering place. It really felt like a home away from home!
Overall, this property was everything we could have asked for. Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, this home has it all. We can't wait to return!

We greatly enjoyed staying at the Park Entrance Lodge. The views were amazing and the home was wonderful!
Every room was so nicely appointed and the decor and artwork made it so special. Every need was provided, with a well-appointed kitchen and well-supplied bathrooms. We had plenty of space to sleep, chill separately or be all together when we weren't out enjoying the RMNP or Estes. Our grandchildren enjoyed the game room and basketball court
Julie was wonderful and responsive to any concern.
We thank her for a wonderful time in her beautiful home!

Family Reunion - 80th Birthday
We had 18 people stay in the house (all adults) with my mom, my brother's family, my sister's family and my family (and significant others).
The house works great for the large number of people as well as the ability to have privacy if needed.
We used the kitchen/living room area and pool table extensively. We also used the main deck for hours and hours each day (incredible view). The hot tub was also a hit.
The location was outstanding. The house is only a couple of minutes from town. Also, it is within 20-30 minutes of hiking trailheads in RMNP.
