Allenspark

This was our first time staying in Allenspark and this little cabin was perfect for my boyfriend and I. The location is secluded and the view is stunning. I think the only thing that may make the cabin better would be a bigger shower, a tv in the bedroom (it was very windy and I could have used some added noise and I like to wake up and lounge to some tv). Otherwise this is perfect for a couple. I wouldn’t recommend more than 2 as the fold out couch is not ideal! The perfect place for a honeymoon or couples getaway!

Birthday getaway

Cute little cabin, has almost everything you need. Lots of dust and dog hair, the bed is quite hard and the pull out bed has a mouse turd on it when we opened it, so we didn’t want to use that. The fact you have to dispose of your own garbage at the end is a little ridiculous. Other then that had a great time in the mountains

Cozy Mountain Cabin

This is the perfect spot for a peaceful, relaxing getaway. Historic charm, modern updates and amazing views all around. Sitting in the hot tub while snow lightly falling was a bonus! Super clean and responsive, helpful hosts. So sad to leave!

We had a great stay at the Tahosa Cabin! It’s not too close to anything but not so far you hate going or coming. It was very cozy and comfortable for two of us. The hot tub was a perfect end to our days there. 10 out of 10 recommend… Definitely staying here again!!

Idyllic cabin

The cabin was adorable and in a beautiful location! We loved just sitting on the back deck and enjoying the view, and of course enjoying the stars from the hot tub at night! We want to come back! Thanks again!

Beautiful place

We had a lovely honeymoon at this property in a beautiful spot near Estes park. Our only complaint and the only thing keeping us from leaving 5 stars is the bed. It’s a full size and a traditional box spring mattress high off the ground. It’s very hard and small and uncomfortable. We loved everything else about the place. The views of the sky at night from the hot tub are amazing and the surrounding mountains are gorgeous.

Well-appointed and close to many trailheads

A comfy property in a lovely spot, though much closer to the major highway than expected and noisey as a consequence, especially with the AM rush to make early, timed entries. Light sleepers will be thankful for earplugs if they wish to sleep late on weekend mornings with open windows.

Honeymoon Stay

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon after getting married in Estes Park. I interacted with Rosemary leading up to the stay and she was extremely helpful and friendly. Everything was as advertised and the cabin was a perfect size for my wife and I. It was very secluded which was great for us to get disconnected from our crazy lives. One thing to be aware of is that the location is definitely secluded in terms of phone service, at least for myself, so make sure you screenshot or write down all check in info as needed before driving in. We lost service and had to drive back a lil ways to get service again to ensure we had details. Overall we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend. We met rosemary when dropping off our trash at the designated drop off location and got to chat for a bit! Can’t wait to come back!

Awesome Couples Cabin

Cabin is very clean with all the necessary amenities. It is close to the road and easy to find yet tucked away enough for privacy. The hot tub was perfect to relax with a drink and enjoy the evening sky and night stars. We found the drive to Estes Park scenic and saw elk and deer along the way. Thanks to our host for sharing!

Wonderful get-away. Tremendous views.

The cabin is lovely. Ideal location with spectacular views. It was really relaxing being there and will love to return. A couple suggestions. I found the lock box hard to open and close. The roof was leaking a bit near the fireplace during a hard rain. No big deal to us but noted so the flashing can be repaired. Would be nice to have a way to gauge the level in the septic vault before guest show up to avoid triggering the alarm during the stay.

This Place is Truly Magical

We were simply blown away by the beauty, serenity, and cleanliness of your property. This was the best vacation of our entire lives, and this cabin, and the attached deck, played a big role in making it such a memorable trip. I could not recommend this place more for a romantic getaway. The location is super convenient for enjoying RMNP and the entire Estes Park area, but if you are like us, you'll enjoy the cabin and hot tub so much that you will not want to leave. Finally, the hosts were very warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back soon!!! Just book it, you will not regret it!

Incredible

The cabin was absolutely perfect for just the two of us. The view was absolutely amazing and location as well. We were only 15 minutes away from downtown Estes Park. If you’re looking for a quiet place away from all the hustle this is it! The owners were absolutely amazing to work with they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. Definitely going to come back

The location is perfect for a vacation to Rocky Mountain National Forest. The house is close to anything you need yet away to enjoy the quiet and views. The owner is wonderful to work with and the hot tub was great to have after hikes. We would definitely stay here again.

Great long weekend vacation

This was the perfect spot for a vacation if you’re looking to be in a remote location with great amenities! We loved the jacuzzi and grill as well as being totally secluded when on the property. It was a short drive into Estes town and the view along the way was very nice. We would recommend it 100%! Also met the owner Brian who was very nice and helpful! Thank you for the great memories

Cozy cabin

Loved our stay at the cabin. It was so cozy and cute, the kitchen had everything we needed, we really loved the retro stove and the cast iron cookware, made us feel like we could have been there 100 years ago. The view from the hot tub is so beautiful, I cant think of a better place to get away from it all. Thanks for everything.

Winter Wonderland

My wife and I recently stayed here in January for a long weekend. The mountains threw 50 mph winds, snow and -27° windchill at us every day. But we loved every minute being cozied up in this very beautifully restored cabin and enjoyed the lovely views from the outdoor hot tub with frosty hair. Thank you for the wonderful getaway. We will be back during warmer months for sure.
