Beautiful place with spectacular view of mountains!
Great place to relax and enjoy the stunning views of the mountains! Right around the corner from RMNP which was a great highlight. High quality amenities, very clean, and communication was responsive. Would love to visit again!
A fabulous location with great views and amenities. Close to Rocky Mountain national park and town, great to watch the sun rise and set over the mountains, and spot the local wildlife
Rented this beautiful place to celebrate family members bday. Gorgeous view and perfect location with house that had everything we wanted and needed. Loved hot tub and pool table.
Views from this property are spectacular. Easy walk to the path around the lake. Beautiful living space, bedrooms, and kitchen with windows all around to enjoy the view. We sat out on the deck every morning and evening. This is a beautiful property and great for families!!!
Stay was great except the first night we were there the heat would not tuen on for about 2 hours and it was cold in the house. Sent email as it stares if any concerns to do so and did not get response for 3 days we were there. The home was beautiful, views were gorgeous and it was stocked with things we needed.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. Beautiful views from every angle! We have beem coming to Estes Park for 11 years and this is a new favorite place to stay for us. 3 bedrooms, one on each level with its.own bathroom allowed plenty of space. Nice well stocked kitchen and lovely deck to enjoy the breathtaking views. Pool table was an added bonus that entertained us in the evenings. We hope to come back next year!
The stay was wonderful. Perfect weather and plenty of room for 5 adults. The only issue we had was upon arrival. House had not been cleaned from the last travelers. Immediate phone call made to management co and cleaning crew arrived within the hour. Went to dinner and was clean upon teturn

Fun in Estes Park
Loved the location and view from the deck overlooking Estes Lake with the Rocky Mountains in the background was wonderful!
We did have a bit of a problem gaining access to the house - code wasn't working and management could have been a bit more responsive. We also never got access to wifi and didn't receive any communication, other than code would be inactive after 10am, regarding checkout day.
We stayed six nights in this incredible home. The views were incredible in every direction and the location perfect for access to anything you may want to do! This home was beyond welcoming with special touches such as coffee flavorings, full spice cabinet, extra quilts/blankets, pillows, bathroom needs, laundry soap, well stocked kitchen, large grill and two wonderful dining tables, and even a candle lit hot tub and pathway area! The list goes on..... The owners truly care about their guests visit! I do want to mention there is no AC however that was not an issue for our October stay. The powerful attic fan really did the trick when we needed to cool the house down. We only had one issue....we used the host's provided fire logs burning just one log a day and it took TWO DAYS for housekeeping to bring more! Very disappointing but not the host's fault! Regardless, we will return and highly recommend to others.
Overall the place was just what we were looking for our stay is Estes Park. Close to town with GREAT views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Very close to Lumpy Ridge and just 10 minutes to the NP entrance. I thought the pet fee was too high but that was my only complaint.
There are quite a few of the window cranks broken so all the windows would not open, which is quite disappointing. The views from the back patio are absolutely stunning. The location of the house to town and other activities is fabulous.
We had a family get together here. The view of Estes Lake and snow capped mountains was beautiful. Kitchen was well stocked, beds comfy, window views beautiful, and some toys for our 2 and 7 yr old grand children were available. Downtown Estes was nearby and Safeway. We enjoyed walking from the house down to a paved stroller friendly walking path alongside the lake.
House needs a good cleaning, windows repaired, it smells, the bedroom and pillows etc

Amazing place to stay in Estes Park!
This place was absolutely magical. The views are incredible in the house was wonderful. The location is perfect for evening walks on the golf course or fishing in the big Thompson. We saw elk almost every night. It was beautiful! It’s also just a short walk from downtown, which was super convenient. Our only recommendation is that they improve communication. Evidently this property is managed by wind lift and not the actual owner of the property so we had to go through messaging them through the app for help. If you try to call after 5:30 PM, you’re not gonna get anyone which is a bit concerning. Wind cliff did not send our checkin information. I had to ask for it on our way there, but they did send it promptly. Also the cleaning crew was still there 45 minutes after our check-in time. The oven was boiling hot because they had put it on a cleaning cycle and kind of concerned us for a while until it finally shut off because we couldn’t make it stop. They also did not have propane which they said they did. They took care of it very quickly as well and left us a complementary bottle of wine, which was nice.Overall, it was excellent just they need to improve communication on the Windcliff side I think. These things were a bit inconvenient, but definitely not dealbreaker. We absolutely loved our time there and would stay again in a heartbeat. Definitely use the attic fan at night. It’s wonderful and the hot tub was a huge plus as well!
