All very nice and clean. We had all the cookware and dishes we needed. We loved that it was one story, the yard was completely fenced in for our dog, and the walking by the little lake was relaxing. It was just too hot in the house even with all the windows opened, but that is just the weather. It was also difficult to have all the breakfast dishes washed and back in the cupboard and all the towels in the dryer before we left. More reasonable to have the dishes and towels in the washer going before we left as in most places we stayed, but we did it. Would definitely stay here again.

Colorado wedding
We booked this house for my sosywrs wedding in Estes Park. We had An amazing time. The house was clean upon arrival passed my mom’s inspection (which is incredibly hard to do). There were books and games to keep the little kids we had with us entertained. Despite there being 8 of us we always seemed to congregate at the little table in the kitchen cause it was such a cozy spot. We had all the pots and pans and anything we needed for cooking or baking while there. The host was great in reappointing any questions we had or anything we needed help with. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and we know where we’ll be staying if we take another trip to Estes Park.

Good Location
House had a nice layout and accommodated all of us. It was easy to get to the Park and had routes to avoid downtown Estes Park traffic. The neighborhood was quiet and we had a great view of the night sky-even saw the StarLink train of satellites! Steve responded quickly to any questions we had. We enjoyed our stay.

Spacious, well-stocked home
We enjoyed our stay very much. It was only 10-15 minutes into Rocky Mountain National Park and the neighborhood itself is quiet and relaxing.
The house was well-stocked with anything you might need. Our kids, in particular, loved the generous supply of games and puzzles as well as playing in the yard. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen.
The property managers were helpful, accommodating, and quick to respond.
Highlights of our stay included hiking in the National Park, a trail ride out of Jackson Stables, hanging out by the pellet stove on cosy evenings, eating at Notchtop, and seeing elk, moose, and mule deer.
As others have mentioned, this home would be a good fit for extended families or friend groups traveling together due to the spread out layout of the home.
