Thanks so much for your review, David! So happy that you loved Gateway to the Wildside! Come back and see us in Estes Park! Our team at SkyRun would love to host you again!
Very nice, comfortable townhome just a few miles from RMNP Beaver Meadows entrance. The home was immaculate, with everything we needed for a 4 day visit to Estes Park. Very clear instructions, with easy check in and check out. Garage parking was a plus. Best hike away from home I’ve ever stayed in! Will hopefully be back.

Steven, thanks so much for your review! The wildlife is the best part about Estes Park and we are so glad you had a wonderful time! Come back and stay with us again at SkyRun Rocky Mountain!
5 adults stayed 4 nights and were very pleased. Very clean, good location for us. We rarely saw any other people in the ares.The highlight of the lodging was easy proximity to a lovely river path. The elk that surfaced were kind enough to share with us! We were there for family reunion, so sadly spent very little time at the townhome.

Sounds like you had a wonderful time! We are lucky to be so close in proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park! We would love to host you again.
Wow what an amazing home. Very close to the Rocky Mountains National Park, which is why we were in Estes Park. Close to the shopping. We would definitely stay at the house again. I can’t say anything negative. It was wonderful and met all our needs. Wasn’t able to get a great pic of the bull elk however I grab these pics from the deck. We were eating supper when he walked by the window!!!Thank you Addie Chase

Thank you! We're so glad that you enjoyed staying at Gateway to the Wildside and hope that you'll be back for a return trip - perhaps during our cooler fall and winter months!
Loved our stay in the Gateway to the Wildside townhome in Estes. We loved the interior and how beautifully it was decorated. The kitchen was big and well laid out.
The aspen's were starting to turn to that beautiful yellow color. Weather was perfect all 4 days.

Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed this beautiful home! SkyRun Rocky Mountain would love to host your next trip to Estes Park.
My family and I was able to stay at the lodge for a short fall getaway. The central location of the property close to Estes Park and minutes away from the RMNP was perfect! We even saw some elk a few lodges down from where we stayed. The cleanliness of the lodge stood out most to us and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend this property tor a Colorado visit!

So glad you enjoyed your stay in our SkyRun property. Please come back and see us again soon.
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Wildside Lodge. It was our first time visiting the area. Great location to both the National Park and quaint area of Estes Park for dining and shopping. The lodge was well appointed and had everything we needed. It felt like “home”. We spent our days exploring the National Park-such a great experience! We would stay at the Wildside again.

We appreciate your feedback! It's so great to hear that the home was spotless, our housekeepers work extremely hard to make sure these properties are perfect for all of our guests. We hope to host you again in your future Rocky Mountain adventures.
Loved the location of the property…close to the RMNP entrance and to downtown. It was just enough room for our family and the space was decorated nicely. My only negative remark is…I think it’s a bit much to ask renters to load and start the dishwasher and gather up and dispose of all garbage when we are already paying a large cleaning fee and our stay was only for 2 nights.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 September 2023
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed this home. Starting the dishwasher allows time for the cycle to be done before the cleaners get there so they can put the dishes away before the next guest arrives. The cleaning fee goes to the cleaners and the laundry service and is based on the size of the home not the length of stay. The home has to be fully cleaned for each guest, even if you only stay 2 nights. Our cleaners work hard to provide a clean comfortable place for our guests to stay.
I cannot say enough about the home! We loved it!
It is beautiful, cozy, spacious and very clean! Had most everything we needed for our stay and for cooking family meals.
Perfectly located and close to all.
The management company ladies were so nice and helpful as well as super responsive to all of my annoying questions 😂
Highly recommend !
Thank you so much, we are so grateful for such a wonderful stay!
