Excellent location for an extended family vacation
We rented both houses on this property for our large group of siblings, partners, kids, our parents, etc. This includes info on the other house as well. The houses are very, very close together, face one another, and I recommend renting both houses for the best experience.
My extended family takes a vacation like this through VRBO somewhere in the country every summer for the last 10 year and had a great time here.
Location: wonderful and felt very remote, like we had the natural surrounding to ourselves. However, it was literally less than 5 minutes from downtown Estes, and less than 10 to the Beaver Meadows park entrance.
Amenities: The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to make all our meals (cookware and some spices), we utilized the grill daily (plenty of propane for the stay), and we really enjoyed the fire pit and chairs. Plenty of outdoor seating. The younger kids (and the college-aged kids) enjoyed the game room, and being able to open it up (it's in a remodeled garage) was a plus as we had excellent weather. There is not a tv in each room, but who needs TV when everyone is outside enjoying the scenery and visiting.
One recommendation would be to have more than one towel per guest as towels sometimes get used quickly if hikers come back wet, the hot tub is used, someone spills a glass of water, etc.
All in all, we totally recommend this place to groups of family or friends.
