I have to say the property was cozy and nicely kept! I also have to say I wasn't paying particular attention to the marketing side of VRBO on the lead in for this property. Especially, on the home page where it states (In smaller pitch and font), that this property is an "apartment". The listing equivocates to the property being a full unoccupied house, and that's just not accurate.If you want peace and quite and a cozy mountain atmosphere, then the simplicity and elevation of this listing might just be what you're looking for. The hosts were nice as well.

Absolutely beautiful surroundings and views! Definitely a true Colorado mountain experience. I would recommend not driving the roads at night in the dark until you’re familiar with the roads/switchbacks. No cell phone service, so plan ahead - not a drawback by any means since there is WiFi in the room. Only concern was the cleanliness just slightly - quite a few cobwebs with spiders, maybe a thorough dusting would help.Owner was quick to respond and thankful for feedback. Overall a great, cute little place for a relaxing getaway.

Not as private or clean as the listing suggestedWe were looking forward to a quiet mountain getaway based on the description, but the reality was a bit different. Booked for a last minute honeymoon. The suite is in the basement of the owners’ main house, not a fully separate private retreat. The hot tub and fire pit are on the owners’ deck (shared with the main house), so it didn’t feel private. There are nice mountain views and the location is convenient to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, which was a plus.Cleanliness was an issue when we arrived—there were used towels and full trash cans that hadn’t been emptied. The space itself is cozy once tidied up, and the kitchenette and WiFi worked fine.Overall it was okay for a short stay if you’re fine with a basement suite under the owners’ home and shared outdoor amenities, but it didn’t match the “private, self-contained retreat” feel of the listing. A more accurate description and a thorough clean before check-in would make a big difference.

Great mountain get away!

We had a great stay! The room was spotless and Elizabeth took extra steps to ensure it was sanitized and safe for our stay.

Great retreat

The property was clean and had everything we needed for a few days away from home. We enjoyed the drive up and down the main road. It wasn’t too far from Estes which is where we spent our days visiting the national park. I love that it was pet friendly, our frenchie made herself right at home on the pet bed (even though we brought her own). We will definitely stay again.

This was a wonderful spot to stay for my hiking vacation in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was my first time back to the park after the death of my husband, and the quiet beauty of this property gave me plenty of space for quiet and solitude. Thanks for sharing your space!

Not only were the instructions to get there super important and given in advance because you do lose signal, but everything was lit up so well when arriving it felt like a breath of fresh air stepping out and having a place that screamed "here you are"!!!! Cozy, quaint, peaceful little "studio" mad my wife and I go, "this is what we need"! Loved it and loved the people who own it and didn't even have to meet in person. Bless Jehovah for people like this that can open their home to share dreams!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful retreat in Drake, Colorado near Estes Park. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming, peaceful, and thoughtfully done. The privacy was perfect, the setting was quiet and serene, and the mountain views were absolutely gorgeous.You can truly tell that a lot of care went into creating this place — it was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed to relax and enjoy nature. Waking up to the scenery and the calm mountain atmosphere was something special.Thank you so much for providing such a lovely space and for helping make our stay memorable. We truly appreciated it and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful mountain getaway.Thank youRhonda

Peaceful

Stayed at the Cozy Mountain Getaway while visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. Room was just as advertised. Clean and comfortable. Host provided excellent directions pre arrival. If there were folks living upstairs we never saw or heard them. The drive from Estes was worth it to get away from the crowds in town and enjoy some peace and quiet. Even made a day trip to Frontier Days in Cheyenne while staying there. Would stay again.

Great propery. Made an excellent effort to make a basement appt not feel like a basement. Very good wifi, able to stream our Amazon Prime shows without buffering. Very good water pressure. Memory foam bed comfortable. Ceiling fan worked great for cooling us down at night. Able to enjoy night sky and daytime views in privacy. 2 miles of steep winding road to get there. Could be tough in winter. Well stocked Kurig and a 4 cup mister coffee with plenty of filters. Pretty remote (which is what we wanted). Drive up the canyon was beautiful and the drive into Estes Park also beautiful. About 30 minute drive into Estes Park. Recommend going through GlenHaven to get homemade cinnamon rolls on way to Estes at general store.

Quite the Drive

Property is nice, it's the bottom of the main house with separate entrance that owner lives in. Used Waze app took us past house a couple of blocks away so had to back track. You also drive 1 mile from main road up narrow winding road don't drive at night. The tub/shower has a large step into, they have step stool but still steep. We didn't use Hot Tub since it was upstairs, there's a Fire Ban so didn't use Fireplace also upstairs with main house.

Tina, I’m sorry your Waze App took you on a joy ride. You’re the first one that said that finding my home was an issue. I have large numbers at the driveway, I’m sorry you didn’t see them.

Perfect secluded studio with views

This was an ideal base for exploring Rocky Mountain national park. We woke up every morning to beautiful views and came back to our perfectly furnished studio with everything we needed. Between the mini fridge, microwave and hot plate we were able to eat many of our meals right there sitting on the patio furniture enjoying the view. Although the location is remote it is not too far from dinner at the inn on glen haven or cinnamon rolls or ice cream from the glen haven general store. The owner left us eggs, bagels and cream cheese and coffee to start the day. We hope to return!
