Wonderful Stay!

We enjoyed all aspects of this charming, beautifully updated/new home! Beautiful setting, great deck, close to YMCA, and Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park. Perfect for a couple or small family, but could be tight quarters for couples sharing. Truly a lovely place - hope to return someday.

Stay at Bears Den

Nice cabin..stayed 9 days and I didn't want to leave. Very close to Beaver Meadows entrance to RMNP. Excellent location..short drive to Estes Park downtown yet the cabin location seems remote.Frequent elk and deer sightings grazing at the property. Beautiful east facing sliders open onto a great deck and let the morning sun coming shining in. Great place!
