We loved our stay at Morning Glory and the pictures do not do it justice. Great location, well stocked, beautiful, and the perfect place for our family.
The property was beautiful. Had an absolutely lovely stay. We enjoyed the town and the mountains. The check-in process (driving to the office to get keys) was a hassle, especially since we had gotten in about midnight - but that is the only "issue". This is the 4th time we've stayed in Estes, and this is the best house we've had so far.
We had a wonderful stay! We stayed at the property for about a week and a half. The view from the hot tub is incredible. The owners were super responsive to anything we needed. The home was very cozy. Would definitely recommend!!
Very quiet and tranquil log home up in the mountains at the end of the road. Although we didn’t see any wild life on the property we saw Elk in downtown Estes and neighborhoods. Comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. Drove up trail ridge road and hiked several lakes. RMNP is breathtakingly beautiful.
Beautiful views off the deck. Great location, close to town and Rocky Mountain National Park. Nice to have the bedrooms on separate levels. Hot tub was dirty and the downstairs has a spider problem. Overall, nice place great location just needs a little TLC.
We had a wonderful stay, the unit was clean and as described. The rug runners near the front door/laundry room entrance could be replaced, as they are very worn and stained. (first impression when you walk in the door).
Absolutely stunning, spacious with gorgeous views. Even though other houses were nearby, it felt totally secluded and private. Great room layout so each room could have some privacy as all rooms were on separate floors. Loved the gas fireplace. Property management was very responsive. Listing was very accurate and the property was exactly what I was expecting when I got there. Excellent WiFi. Definitely recommend to my friends!! Loved it!!
This was the perfect location for 7 of us to hang out for a long weekend! The cabin was comfortably furnished and conveniently located to both Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park. The cabin was clean and equipped with bedding, bath and kitchen linen, and basic kitchen supplies making packing easy. They even provided games and basic outdoor items! The views from the living room and deck are gorgeous and we even saw a deer in the backyard and plenty of elk in the neighborhood. The warning to bring an suv is spot on…the driveway is no joke but doable with the proper vehicle and either a backup camera or a spotter.
This is a fantastic property, just perfect for a group stay. Large and spacious, well appointed, and a great location. It was convenient to everything in town as well as the park. The management company was quick to respond to questions. Mostly the property was just great with a lovely hot tub and a cozy fire. Book it now, no regrets!
Great location and home layout worked well for our family. The only downside is having to pick up keys and return them at check-out. Since the property is managed by a realty company (and not the actual property owner) it is an inconvenience to not be able to have an access code for entry and avoid the extra steps of picking up keys.
Location of the property couldn’t have been better. Up on the mountain, in the trees, views of the mountains, but only a few minutes to town and RMNP. Kitchen was well stocked. House was clean, but could use some updating in the carpet as it was pretty stained. Washer and Dryer was a great amenity and needed because there weren’t enough towels to enjoy the hot tub and daily showering for our group. The hot tub was clean. No tv’s in the main level bedroom or upstairs bedroom.Overall, we would absolutely rent this home again. Our family was comfortable and the location couldn’t be beat.
This property is exceptional. In a secluded area but close enough to town to walk and 3 minutes from the park entrance. The view from the hot-tub is breathtaking and the amenities were very comfortable. We’re already talking about coming back and renting it again! Loved this house!
We, our two daughters, and their families stayed here for a week. It was perfect for our group of seven. Each family got their own bedroom and bathroom which was great for having our own space while the kitchen, dining, and living rooms were great areas to gather. The view is spectacular. Hot tub was a hit.
Had a wonderful time in Estes Park, and the house was perfect for what we needed. Quiet location, close to town and the national park. The listing indicates a need for 4WD vehicle to navigate the steep driveway, and that is accurate. The property manager was very responsive when we needed more sand/salt to manage the driveway ice.
Property is great. View is amazing from the deck while sitting in the hot tub. Saw a lot of turkey and elk while here. Only drawback was we were there in winter and the road to the property and once there the driveway isn’t well maintained for winter driving.
Really loved this property. Close enough to town and RMNP for convenience, far enough away for peace. I will say, I’m an a/c guy. If I noticed this place did not have a/c, I would not have booked it. That being said, between the fans and having the windows open it was comfortable, and even chilly at times, even in July. I only got a little hot when the temperature was 89 outside, but by evening it was fine again. Loved it, would come again.
We love Estes. This our 4th consecutive year renting a house. This house was top of our list for the house itself and location to Estes and RMNP. It ranked bottom for contents. The linens were stained, torn and old. The kitchen was not equipped with items such as dish soap, paper towels, plastic wrap, garbage sacks…. All things the other properties furnished, at the same price point. All in all, great physical house, just disappointed in the lack of care given to the extra touches that make a house feel like a cozy relaxing get away.
The house is beautiful, particularly the great room and we thoroughly enjoyed eating together out on the deck and looking at the lovely view. The bedrooms are very comfortable and we were really happy with the large number of bathrooms.The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes - plates, mugs and cups, as well as towels and mixing bowls. Some of the pots and pans were a bit greasy. We never found any oven mitts.We took the trash bins down to the end of the driveway on Tuesday morning; both bins were very heavy and very full. We added only a single small bag of trash, so clearly it had been some time since the bins were taken down to the street.A couple other items I reported to the property manager: we found one of the shade strings to be broken in the master bedroom so we left those shades alone. Also a few of the deck chairs are coming apart.Overall we really enjoyed our time there. Thank you for sharing your vacation home. J. Lakey
This was really a great place to stay - roomy, clean, great view, quiet neighborhood and very well appointed. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking gear, the bathrooms were clean and well stocked and I loved that we were able use the garage even though my truck didn't fit in it. All-in-all it was a really great place to stay and we would definitely see if it was available for our next trip.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect. It is close to downtown Estes but far enough away to make it feel more private. The view from the house is breathtaking. The house is very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen had some spices and plenty of cook/bake ware to make meals.
This house is wonderfully situated. It's on a large mountain-side lot with plenty of room for the kids to explore, and yet it is just a short drive away from the main drag and all the fun in downtown Estes.
