Excellent communiation with host before arrival. Great location by river, close to town, quiet & visited by at least 40 elk upon our arrival back one day. Amazing! The townhome is well appointed and was more than spacious for our group of six. Would definitely come back.
Property had everything we needed. Check in was easy, google maps took us right to it. Beds were comfortable. Easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park
Wonderful place to stay great host, great property had everything we could’ve ever imagined to need for a full week stay. Sitting on the back porch was like sitting in a beautiful park like setting especially with the river just got back.
The location was perfect for visiting RMNP. Evening strolls along the river off the back porch were a favorite. The house is well-stocked, clean and spacious. We loved it!
Great time in the Rockies at a wonderful property!
We spent 5 days at the property & it was fantastic! It's just outside of RMNP along to Big Thompson river. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything you need & the place just felt very cozy. Loved it, we would definitely stay there again.
My sisters and I enjoyed the spaciousness with 2 living rooms. The kitchen was fully stocked. The location was great! We saw deer and elk by the creek from the patio. Downtown was less than 10 minutes away.
Beautiful home on the Big Thompson River. Very clean home and well appointed. The owner is responsive and has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable.
This place was exactly what we were hoping for in our stay. Close to RMNP for morning hikes and close to Estes Park for ice cream runs. The owners were great and responsive to questions. This was one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever had for a VRBO home. Great place to unwind and just hang out.
Comfortable stay near Rocky Mountain National Park
We truly enjoyed our stay. Apart from some trash left behind, the house was clean and well taken care of. We liked the proximity to coffee shops and restaurants as well as to the YMCA and national park.
