The home could be exceptional with some repairs and maintenance. The carpet had numerous stains, the water heater was old and not adequate for showers for our party of 6. The thermostat/heating needs attention, the king bed mattress needs replaced, the yard need some TLC. The doors and windows need attention. The game room was great and we loved the elk visitors one morning. We'd love to stay here again if updates are made.

Summer Getaway at Rocky Mountain National Park

We had a wonderful time staying at our vacation home. Being so close to the Rocky National Park entrance made it very easy for us going back and forth. We are glad we chose this home.

Great location

Overall, the house was in a great location in Estes Park. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of space for bigger parties including activity/game space in garage. Downsides: Carpeting is old and stained, blinds are broken in various rooms emitting morning light, bed in master is sagging and pillows could be updated.

The location is great, the layout is convenient, but the house is in desperate need of maintenance and upkeep. The windows barely open, blinds and screens are falling apart, faucets and toilets leak, two of range burners did not work.

The property was great. It's in a very quiet neighborhood yet is close to town - less than 10 minutes to grocery and even downtown Estes Park. Lots of space, and loved the desk area in the family room, which I had to use for a little bit of work. The house was super clean, and the driveway had plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked - we cooked-in each day and had everything needed. The outdoor BBQ grill needs some maintenance, as the shields over the burners are broken and the auto light didn't work, but was able to make it work the few times we grilled outdoors. We opened the windows quite a bit given it was in the mid-80s, but due to low humidity it didn't feel bad at all and it cooled off quickly at night. The blinds and windows also need some maintenance - some were broken / hard to work, and I was afraid of breaking them further. The doors to the patio also need some maintenance. The garage is converted into living space but we didn't use it, so no comments there. It was roomy and was decorated nicely. I would probably rent again, as it's priced well.

Stay was not bad. The property looks a little neglected with some regular maintenance. It was very hot over the weekend and without air conditioning using fans required opening windows. Most all window blinds are broken. Many screens missing from windows. One sliding door completely not functioning and the other the screen door was not working. Grill provided was half working and never had to use a butcher knife as a steak knife.

This property is completely neglected!! Numerous broken blinds, windows, heavily soiled carpet, shower curtains that don't fit, missing light bulbs in every room, 2 broken sliding screen doors, broken drain plug in bathroom sink, broken toys in the "play garage" and missing trains in the train tabel, washing machine makes a very loud high-pitched scream, the yard has not been managed for years with trees growing out of the driveway and front walkway. . Couldn't open most windows at night to cool off the home because either the blinds were shattered or the window casing stops were broken. Really all-around disgraceful presentation
every room's blinds looked like this - in pieces and non-functional
none of the blinds were functional
shower curtains that did not fit
filthy carpet in "play area"

Great space but some things need attention

This space was great and 6 adults had plenty of room. But there were many little things needing fixed or updated, and that kinda put a damper on the space. Many broken blinds, windows, neither back sliding door would close appropriately, screens off windows/doors and laying outside on the ground, a stove burner fell in when trying to cook, ice maker doesn't work, never found any oven mitts. My husband also found a small leak under the sink when looking for other supplies. None of these things were really enough to ruin our trip, but still had to deal with them.

2 night stay. Home was very clean and appeared just like the pictures. There was plenty of room to stretch out. We did call maintnance once because we didn't have hot water. They never called back, but we saw we overloooked instructions in the manual to the fuse box to turn on the hot ater heater and all was good. We brought steaks up to grill but ended up cooking inside- Grill could use an update. Overall, nice place to visit Estes Park. Kitchen was fully stocked and all amenities were great.

We (three senior couples) travelled from Texas. Karine answered her phone on the first call and explained the house, layout and area. Although we were a little early, Karine welcomed us and granted access. This made for a very nice first impression. The house is as advertised, large, spacious and provided two separate living rooms which was nice. There were large TVs in every room… again NICE! The kitchen was extremely well stocked to even include chop sticks. The only issues were the window blinds damaged by previous guests, that Karine informed us about so we would not be surprised when we saw them. The sliding screen door could use a little work, but that was only minor. All-in-all.. two thumbs up! Or in the group’s case… six thumbs up.The patio provided a gas grill and two separate tables with chairs for relaxing. The neighborhood was very quiet and provided beautiful views of the mountains. Close enough that the three ladies walked down to the lake which connects to the river through Estes Park.

Communication was very good. I received check-in instructions before arrival date. All questions were answered timely. The appliances are old. The size of the home was excellent and inside was clean. The yard has obviously been neglected. The windows were very dirty so it was not possible to get good pictures of the beautiful elk in the yard daily. There is no air conditioning and it was hot every day. All of the blinds were in terrible condition. One of the blinds disintegrated when I moved it to open the window. The thermostat was displaying a heat warning because it was over 80 degrees in the house. Most of the screens were missing. The sliding door to back porch was hard to open and so was the screen. There was carpet all over and I am not a fan of carpet in a rental. With some attention to these details it would be an excellent rental

Nice but needs some work.

The space on this property was the nicest part of the stay. The property is located on the edge of Estes away from the hustle and bustle of town, which we loved. The rooms are big and the three bathrooms were perfect for the 6 of us. The property is old and needs a lot of maintenance. Only half the windows stay open as many of the springs won’t hold the windows open. None of the doors have screens that work properly and many of the windows don’t either, which was problematic because there is no AC and the house requires these features to stay cool and keep bugs out. All blinds need replaced and none of the curtains are size correctly for the windows and doors. The hot water heater is old and if more than one person is showering at a time it’s hard to get enough hot water to the master bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked but the stove needs all the burners replaced. Overall, it was an ok stay but the inconveniences with some of the maintenance dropped the experience.

Perfect layout for three couples

The house was very spacious, beds were comfortable, the kitchen was very useable with decent pans and great kitchen table. The bedroom layouts were great. The only issue was the house temperature when we got in at 4pm was 45 degrees. It took three hours to warm up.
