Great property and location for visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. As others have mentioned, the trundle and twin take up the whole room without much space to spare but it worked fine for a couple of our kids. The kitchen is wonderful and large! We loved the fireplace heat (attached to the thermostat)! So cozy! And of course, our kids liked seeing wildlife in the yard. 5-10 minutes from the park and town but on a quiet road was perfect for us!

My family had a wonderful stay at this retreat. Living spaces, amenities and outdoor space were as described in the listing. The deer visiting the property were a added plus. Definitely recommend.

Amazing cabin!

This cabin had everything we needed and more! It was very clean and had an ample supply of towels, dishes, and xtra blankets. Having a full size washer and dryer came in handy. I especially loved that there were portable fans available in each bedroom. The cabin was easy to find, especially because the address number was listed in the garage. The owners were very friendly and responded promptly to all of our messages. Welcome basket was a nice touch!

Always elk in the yard!

The home was in a gorgeous area, close to town. The grill didnt work and the 3rd BR did not have twin beds as pictured but a trundle(was talked about in the details) bed when pulled out was just about hitting the wall. Management was very responsive but of course couldn't fix the situation.

Geri, Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re always grateful for guest input, I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We take great pride in striving for consistent 5-star stays, and we understand that each guest may view their experience through a different lens. That said, I would like to respectfully address the concerns you mentioned. First, I’m disappointed to hear that your concerns weren’t brought to our attention until your departure. We genuinely encourage guests to reach out during their stay so we can promptly address any issues in real time. This is particularly disheartening, as we were never given the opportunity to assist. Regarding the grill, our team did inspect it immediately following your checkout. It was in working order, with the exception of a faulty ignitor—something we try to anticipate by providing a long-stem lighter for backup. Had we known about this during your stay, we would have gladly helped. As for the trundle bed, you are correct that it creates a tight fit in the room when pulled out. However, the layout is clearly presented in both our listing description and accompanying photos. We strive for full transparency to help guests make an informed choice when booking. Once again, thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your business and wish you all the best in your future travels. Regards, Trent - GM, Estes Valley Vacation Rentals

Honestly amazing. The first day a whole heard of elk walked right by. The second there were deer touching the window with their noses. I have trouble remembering everything but every time I needed something it was there to be used, laundry, dishes, openers, etc. EV DRIVER NOTE: There is a 220 outlet for your use but you need to bring your own charger.Charming place with nice lighting, approximately a million light switches but all labeled (thank you!), very comfortable beds. Heating is partially with an automatic fireplace, very charming touch. Honestly the whole thing was so great we are considering buying in Estes. Location was amazing, 5 minutes from everything, 10 minutes from the park. Trent was a breeze to work with and very accommodating, great communication, flexible, helpful.

My folks, husband, 2 little girls and I chose this place because it looked clean and the bedroom/beds situation suited us perfectly. But we were pleasantly surprised with how great it was! Every appliance you’d need is there! We forgot coffee filters and were so bummed but no worries, they provided coffee filters. It’s the little things! Communication with management was superb. They make the check in and check out so seamless. Super clean and such a beautiful area! Thank u so much to the Lazy Elk!!
