This was the cleanest vrbo property we have been to. The blankets and pillows were so cozy nd high quality. The family games and puzzles were also a nice thought. Can’t wait to return.
Cabin was beautiful inside and out. Would have liked to have known it's surroundings better as in it's location relative to other homes/cabins. The pictures didn't really relay that.
The cabin was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. The fire place had so many rules and instructions that we never lit it which was an bummer. And location was good. Not really totally secluded as it made it seem but still a great area by the river. We did not go to Rocky Mountain National Park.
Cabin was very clean & beautiful spot. The only thing I would say is the downstairs toilet had problem twice with clogging up (with #1) & there was no plunger, so we bought one at Dollar General & left it there.
Loved the cabin and views of the river. Cabin is historic and not much to look at outside. Inside is quite nice. Kitchen is nicely updated but we were not sure the dishwasher was working when we turned it on as we left. We were not able to use the fireplace because a special tool was required and not present. No information was provided. Host does not take messages on the weekend. There was an option to contact after hours property management company but I decided against it.I was using a walker and wheelchair which limited my ability to go to the second floor. 14 steps to go up there. I could get into all rooms on main floor with narrow wheelchair. Getting into the house took some effort with walker but was ok using shorter steps in front.Great location outside Estes and Rocky. Not far to either.
