Wonderful property in beautiful private setting. Close to the park and a short drive to Estes Park, this property was very conveniently located. Had a few small issues upon arrival, but property manager took care of them immediately. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider this property again on a future trip to Estes Park.

The Rivendell was just as listed, LOVED the porch!! Wonderful location, close to Estes and RMNP yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Estes. No issues with water as others have stated(we had 10 in our party that stayed there). Dan, owner and Trish, property manager were wonderful to work with. Saw lot of wildlife during our stay. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you Heard/Drew families for sharing your cabin with us!!

Great home near Estes Park!

We were so lucky to have found this property and they were able to accommodate us last minute when our other lodging fell through. This home is huge! With more than enough space for our family of 4. Check in process was super quick and easy with instructions sent to us the day before. House was clean and inviting on a beautiful piece of property with a view of the stunning mountains of RMNP. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub that was hot and ready to go and the kids enjoyed the ping pong room! The house is just minutes way from Estes Park and RMNP.We were bummed about the water situation though. Upon our arrival we were told to not use the washing machine due to low water levels in the cistern which was less than ideal but I don’t think it’s something that happens often. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much and would love to book this home again.

Check in was easy. Plenty of room for all of us and great backyard for kids to explore.The house was close to a Trail where we walked to that went into the Rocky Mountains. Driving to the Rocky Mountain entrance was very close.The shortage of water was an issue because the area was in a drought, but we managed

Great stay!

We really enjoyed 5 days with our extended family of 14. One issue: water. This house has it, but not much of it. If you have a large group and plan on doing laundry, showering, etc., be aware there are signs placed throughout the house cautioning about the cistern’s capacity.A warning about that prior to arrival could have helped us, as my family of 8 had already been on the road for a week and planned on doing laundry.Aside from that, it was a truly wonderful stay. Lovely house, and what a view…

Remote but close!

Great get away for the family! The park was just 6 minutes down the road but hardly any neighbors. We loved the porch. This is where I spent most of my time. It was quiet from the rest of the house and had an amazing view. The house was well stocked and the 4 living spaces gave us the room we needed to spread out.The only thing we wish we knew was that we weren't allowed to use the washer because of the dry season. We would have prepared better as this was the last stop on our trip and our whole group was planning on doing laundry at this house. The YMCA just down the road was able to accommodate that for us however

Family Reunion Christmas with young children

The Rivendall Log Cabin is in a wonderful location (hiking trailhead, RMNP adjacent, and Estes Park nearby) and large enough to house a family reunion of fourteen. The cabin was nicely decorated for Christmas. There are numerous sitting areas on each of the three floors to enjoy the views and meals. The lower ratings are due to (1) uncleanliness on arrival, (2) a broken window, (3) inability to handle trash, (4) out-of-order hot-tub, and (5) absence of help by on-site property manager/owner. While this may be unusual, it was a downer for us.

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is beautiful, so well stocked, lots of space and plenty of bedrooms for everyone. We gathered in the sunroom, played board games, built a snowman, sledded and more. Eight deer visited the cabin on Saturday and Sunday, and we saw two moose yesterday also! Thank you…we arrived after dark and the Christmas lights/Christmas tree being on was very welcoming, and bringing us extra firewood was so thoughtful. After it snowed all night, it was a welcome surprise for someone to come plow the driveway and shovel the walk! Thank you again for sharing your property with us. We will definitely recommend it to our family and friends, and we hope to be back soon!
