    The cabin was clean and comfortable, and very nice, my only small complaint is that the window AC unit was noisey, but it worked great.

    The only issue we came across was the hot tub temperature. We felt the hot tub could have been a lot warmer. I'm sure there was a way to change the temperature and I know the staff would have helped us had we asked. It was just our last night and it was late in the evening so we did not want to bother any one.

    We absolutely loved our stay. Our room was exceptionally clean. The amenities were gorgeous - we used the fire pit and Pam was very helpful getting it started. Our view was gorgeous and the bed was very comfortable.

    Staff/owners was extremely knowledgeable about the entire area. Explained how to get where we needed to go. And making sure (without being over helpful) we had everything we needed.

    The bed is comfirtable but higher than a usual one.

    The room was so comfortable, and it was nice to have a kitchennette. Sitting on the little balcony was very relaxing and I loved seeing the hummingbirds come to the feeder above our heads! The location was so close to the park and a short drive to a large selection of restaurants. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful! We really enjoyed our 3 night stay there.

    That (1) we had to leave, (2) had to leave in a hurry and (3) could only stay a week. 😊

    Meticulously maintained, well furnished, clean and comfortable. Extremely Quiet. And the ‘live on site’ owners were a joy. Friendly, fun and interesting.

    We loved everything!

    Quiet location but close to downtown Estes Park. Comfortable king bed, hot tube, nice couch with TV. Dual shower heads and two seats in the shower. Kitchen sink, small fridge, microwave, coffee pot and coffee. BBQ grills for use along with a place to have a fire, a comfy hammock, and nice swing. Plus a small table and two chairs on your private patio for you to enjoy a morning or evening. You could text the owners with any needs you had during your stay.

    The bathroom was freezing because there wasn’t a heater vent. Saw 3 spiders but it’s Colorado so they are expected!

    I loved the coziness of the room. From the hot tub to the fireplace to the close proximity to town! The hosts were amazing and made special touches for the request I had! We will definitely return!

    Direct access to the front door would be nice when it’s icy out, instead of walking all the way to the end of sidewalk

    Great cozy little cabin and fireplace and hot tub in it was amazing. Had everything we needed
