rocky mtn get away

a little dated but clean and totally fine for our experience and what we needed. it was more dated than I had hoped for given how expensive it was to stay there. but so many other great things, such as location and the ease of the checkin/checkout process. I don't think it was noted that they included laundry detergent so I bought some at the store without knowing.

Host profile image
Hello! I am a local STR owner here in the Estes Park area, but I also manage Estes Valley Vacation Rentals. Our company was formed when 3 local STR owners (Jeff, Kevin, myself) had enough of poor national property management experiences, and decided to form our own local company that focuses on top quality service for our owners and their guests.
Thank you for your interest in our property and company and I look forward to hosting you.
Regards,
Trent
