Very quaint and comfortable. Very close to town. We enjoyed it so much, we asked to stay an extra night. Unfortunately, they were booked, which didn't surprise us at all. I'm sure it's a hot commodity. We would definitely stay there again!

This is the cutest, coziest and well kept old cabin we’d ever seen!! So much character and nooks and crannies that gave it all wonderful charm. A great mix of original old style rustic charm mixed with new and updated modern conveniences! And so close to downtown!! We walked everywhere, even in the snow! We will definitely be back!!

Amazing cabin in the beautiful Estes Park. The Cabin itself is stunning and perfectly quirky but also a short walk away from all that Estes Park has to offer. Highly recommend!

The Exploration Cabin truly inspired my kids', hubby and my minds and we found ourselves lost in the books, comfortable furniture and felt so pampered by having all the comforts of home away from home. We couldn't have dreamed of a better cabin to stay at while enjoying the Rocky Mountain National Park.The communication with the owners was very quick and clear and they are so very friendly. I would give the whole experience more than 5 starts of I could!

Perfect vacation home

The cabin was perfect, clean, cozy and charming. After a day of hiking and exploring RMNP, the cabin was the perfect place to unwind, make dinner, and share stories about our adventures that day.

Cozy, Rustic, and Just Right

We loved our stay in the Exploration Cabin. It was just what we were looking for: Excellent location, well-appointed, EXTREMELY clean, and felt good to be in. The proximity to everything in Estes was great, as we could walk to everything in town and easily get in and out without having to wait much for traffic. Definitely recommended.
Clean, well-appointed kitchen with a variety of pots and pans and utensils, plus snacks, coffee, tea, and hot cocoa.
The "map room" was cool, and the window seat was a great place to sit and read with the window open and the fresh air flowing in.
The Talls had to watch our heads, but it was no big deal. Excellent stay.
