"We didn’t have any cell coverage there and the WiFi that did over was very restricted. Slow and hard to get online pull up info on trails or what to do in the Rocky Mountains. Otherwise, nice views and relaxing. No TV so it was a nice chance to unplug."

"This cabin was the best stocked (dishes, high chair etc etc) that we’ve stayed in. Its peaceful with plenty of space for a fam to spread out if needed. The host/owner was VERY helpful and responsive. Lately we’ve had the unfortunate experience of having to deal with rental companies and greatly appreciated Steve’s help & care for our enjoyment of the property. The deck is AWESOME in rain or shine & many hours were spent there. The hummingbirds are also pretty friendly & get very close! Not a problem for is but the road can be rough after big rains and low clearance vehicles need to be careful. Thanks for a great time, we’ll be back for our next RMNP vaca!!"

"Our two families had a great stay. The location was perfect—quiet neighborhood with quick and easy access to RMNP and Estes Park but not right in town. The space was great for what we needed—very well stocked kitchen, bedrooms were all comfortable and spacious, and we enjoyed the outdoor space—cooking, eating, relaxing and hot tub."
