We loved this property and also its proximity to RMNP and Estes Park. We loves being able to walk on the river trail behind the house to Coffee on the Rocks. The sitting areas to relax by the river out back were fantastic and we saw elk multiple times both on our property or adjacent. The host was extremely responsive. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

We really enjoyed our time here. The furnishings were very attractive and comfortable. There are several outdoor seating areas where we could listen to the sounds of the river and watch the wildlife walking through the yard. The host was very gracious and helpful accommodating an issue with our arrival.

The house location was great, walking distance to town. Having the Big Thompson in your backyard was mesmerizing, we saw elk every day in the yard. Turkey visited each day as well and we had a black bear climb the tree while sitting at the fire pit one night. The house was well equipped for all your needs or wants. The owner was very responsive if we had questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Host communication, house, and location was spectacular. Clean house with all the amenities of your own home. Best experience on VRBO or those other sites I’ve ever had. Minutes from the National Park but the backyard had Elk everyday. Only bad thing were the Elk bulls were bugling in the backyard at 1 am and you couldn’t see them. I’ve been coming to Estes for 5 years and this was the best lodging experience I’ve had.

Location, location, location. Home has private access to river. Huge property. There was only 2 of us but home can handle much more. Delightful sun room when those after thunder showers hit. Plenty of outdoor seating. After leaving both my husband and I said it was one of our favorite rental properties. Just loved this place. Highly recommend.

This was a very lovely stay for us! Gail provided a ton of helpful information and it was smooth sailing checking in and getting situated. Very close to RMNP and downtown EP. Enjoyed the views in the backyard and the sound of the river and the wildlife (wild turkeys, squirrels, woodchuck, and lots of birds!) Would happily return for an another visit. :-)

The house was very clean, well stocked, and the materials used in the house were high quality. It felt much more like a home compared to many VRBOs we have stayed in that use cheap materials and finishes because it is a rental. The location is perfect for exploring the town of Estes Park and ideal for visiting all parts of RMNP. My son and I caught dozens of trout in the river right in the back yard. There was plenty of evidence that the elk herd visits the back yard frequently (wink wink), but we did not see any during our stay. That was OK because we saw countless elk in RMNP. We highly recommend this house.

WOW. The pictures don’t do this place justice. The backyard is AMAZING. We spent a lot of time there by the river. The furniture in the home is so comfortable. And the house is well stocked with everything you need. I have stayed at a lot of homes via Vrbo (and others that apparently you can’t name in a Vrbo review lol) the last 10 years and when you factor in location, the house itself, and the backyard, it’s the probably the best place I’ve ever stayed. I highly recommend!
