Been VRBO’ing since 2018- this one is our FAV!!!

We are traveling in CO for about 2 weeks, and we are at our last place (4th). NOTHING compares to Blue Spruce Village. This home- NOT ONE detail was overlooked. For us- the beds are usually the most important. All 6 of us agreed, THE best beds since we have been traveling since 2018. We wanted the mattress info and even the linens were divine!We all slept w our windows opened and listened to the river - fresh air, cool breezes, no sound machine needed - didn’t wake ONCE. Not exaggerating, best sleep of my life. The deck of the primary bedroom over looking river - LOVED. Huge porch below w rocking chairs, couldn’t get enough! Even huge male elk sat most day across river from us! Loved the kitchen - better stocked than mine at home. 3 baths was great for 6 of us. LOVED huge dining table. Living room was lovely for hanging out, w door open to ALWAYS hear river. Grill was BRAND NEW and great for grilling w big picnic table. Truly the most relaxing VRBO… even w road on the other side of river, can’t hear the traffic or really see it w the big beautiful trees. So many sweet touches - travel sizes of bathroom amenities even! Stayed for 4 days, but wish we would have stayed at least a week! We went to RMNP twice, BackBone Adventures 4 utv’ing on Switzerland Trail, Aerial Tramway & hiked on top & feed chipmunks peanuts, BEST BBQ at Smokin’ Dave, Stanley Hotel tour, walked downtown several times, Fun City, pedicures by river at Enchanted Spa. We will be back!

Beautiful home for RMNP visit

This property is very close to RMNP and Estes Park. It is very convenient but also quiet and tucked away. The view of the river from the home is incredible. You can open the doors and hear the water rushing by. The house is cozy and comfortable with everything you need for a great stay. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and dining room were spacious. The only downsides: The tv in the living room is small and there were hiccups with the management company. Our door code did not work when we arrived, and we had to call multiple times for supplies which was not a smooth process. But, overall, the property itself was great.

Perfect Getaway

Our stay here was perfect! Our little family was in desperate need of a relaxing getaway and this home did not disappoint. It was comfortable, homey, clean and had everything we needed and more. Plenty of space for our party of 8. We very much enjoyed the back deck, taking in the gorgeous scenery while relaxing in the rockers and cozying up to the fireplace inside after a day of fishing. Thank you so much for a perfect stay!

Great river side home

We have stayed here the last two years. It is the perfect size for our group to stay. Nice on the water. Nicely equipped kitchen and good supply of everyday items. Near a shuttle stop pick up which makes it nice getting back and forth to downtown and other attractions. Near YMCA to take advantage of their trails and activities.

Just Right...

We loved our stay at Rivers Edge...everything we needed for our family of four. The kitchen had everything we needed for lots of cooking and eating in, and the large dining table was a plus. We had a hard time keeping the downstairs warm enough, but the ample supply of blankets and the fireplace made it right. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your space!

Elk at your doorstep!

Had a great visit to Estes Park. Really enjoyed the home, plenty of room, very clean, good quality furnishings and very close to the river! Left the bedroom window open enough to hear the sound of the rolling river during the night... can't get that at home in Indiana! Bonus was having a 1,200 pound elk sitting on the neighbors doorstep when we returned from dinner. Have never been that close to an elk before, very nice!

A perfect place to stay on the river

We have stayed in VRBO properties around the country and the world, and this was one of the nicest places we've ever been to. The house is one of a series of similar homes along the Big Thompson River on the outskirts of Estes Park. But it was the nicest one of all the homes. It had a perfect wrap around porch overlooking the river downstairs and was the only home with another nice deck off the master bedroom upstairs. The home was furnished beautifully. The beds were extra comfy. The living room looked out on the river. But the highlight was the kitchen. It was the best stocked kitchen of any VRBO home we've ever encountered. Not only was there every dish and pot and pan and utensil and appliance you would ever need, but there also was a great selection of spices, condiments, etc. normally not found in rental homes. It was just a joy to sit on the front porch, read a good book, listen to the rushing river, see all the birds, and watch people fly fishing along the river.
