So amazing! We loved the hot tub over the river, the onsite fishing in the river, the hiking behind the cabin. The freshly baked cookies and dog biscuits. We saw a lot of wildlife, even wild turkeys on Thanksgiving! Would LOVE to stay again. A little slice of heaven place to stay.

What a great getaway!

We were greeted by freshly baked cookies and a delightful cabin that was completely stocked. Beds were comfy, living room was perfect for family game night. We enjoyed the hot tub overlooking the river, and grilled steaks and dined on the riverside deck. The hosts were fantastic, friendly, and helpful. WILL be back!

Rustic Retreat

Came to Estes Park, Co for a half marathon with our daughter, son-in-law,, and our two doggies. Needed a place that was pet friendly and this place met the need. James and his wife (the owners) are on site and amazing hosts. Very cozy and enjoyable for all of us.

This was our first stay, and is now a must to visit again! Cute little cabins along the river. Only minutes to Estes Park, but feels remote and secluded. We loved the variety of wildlife - always active and present. The rushing sound of the river was soothing. Fly fishing and building cairns were my teenage son's favorite pastime! Jeremy and Jeanine were extremely accommodating and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for better hosts! Thank you both for helping us create these family memories together!

Not as nice as it looks

We were disappointed with our cabin. It was not as nice as it looked in the pictures. It was kind of shabby, the living room furniture was not comfortable at all (the recliner seemed to be broken). One side of the handle of the stove fell off the first time we touched it. Knives so dull, we couldn’t cut an onion. The WiFi was so spotty, we couldn’t make phone calls or check email a lot of the time (out of cell range). No streaming allowed which was fine with us but we could hardly do anything at all. And we paid a lot of money to stay here!!The outdoors was beautiful however. Hummingbirds everywhere. An elk and its calf wandering around. Cute little chipmunks. Geese and goslings, ducks. The views of the Big Thompson River are awesome. The only place to walk is the driveway of the property unless you are in very good shape and want to hike straight up a mountain. So, some great qualities, some that make you wonder why you paid so much.
