The inside of the cabin was very nice! Updated and clean. We had a smooth check in process and the host was very responsive when I had questions! The outside of the cabin looks a little dated and there is a shed at the middle of the driveway that is a bit sketchy looking but I would still stay again. The view from the back deck was spectacular!!! Also, the area was so amazing and we saw a ton of elk!
Outstanding location and such a beautiful view over the lake. Everything was as described and we’ll be staying here again if it’s available. Estes Park and RMNP are some of our favorite places in the world. Recommended.
This is our second time to spend my birthday in Estes Park and use this specific cabin. It is beautiful right on the lake all the luxuries hot tub really love the place.
Property is in a great location! Absolutely beautiful view and very nice home and set up. We would most definitely consider this home again in the future. Only downside we had was the heat. Probably uncharacteristically warm and the house did not have AC. It would take till about 2:00 in the morning with fans in the window to cool things back downAlso, the first impressions as you drive in from the street may give you a knot in your gut (dumpsters, boards and junk a bit piled up) but don’t be alarmed, the house is amazing and easy to look past once your settled.
The view was even more beautiful than described accompanied by a beautiful home! We have 5 children and all had more than enough room along with so many entertainment options in between down time ! 10/10 experience
A true hidden gem. All stress of traveling, hoiidays, really just life in general, just disappeared upon entering this beautiful home. Never felt guilty for spending a day or two in the house watching movies and not leaving. Family of deer even came to visit. Home was stocked well and ready for our family. Already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this home for your visit to Estes park.
Loved the location. Loved the views from any location on the deck! July 4th fireworks were awesome. Hot tub amazing in the evening. Outdoor grill and family-sized dining table provided perfect setting. We will stay here again!
The views from this house are stunning! We enjoyed the deck, grill and proximity to Estes Lake. Since we were in town for a wedding we rented both cabins and this was a a great advantage. The house is very spacious and well equipped. We loved the large kitchen table and seating area which was all open to the kitchen. There was a Pack and Play and high chair and kids books and toys which we appreciated. You can also hop onto the walking trail right out the door which is a 3.8 mile loop around the lake. For our family this was a memorable stay and we would return.
Had a lovely stay. Gorgeous views all over the house of the lake and I can’t wait to return. Really enjoyed the lower level movie room. Hot tub had some amazing views. Very spacious house. Only suggestion would be to provide toilet paper, trash bags, and larger glasses.
This is such a great spot! This was our first time in Estes Park and we were looking for a social distancing getaway with our fur babies and friends. Even though this is very close to the main road, you do not notice at all. The views are spectacular, the house is perfect for a larger group and the house was fully stocked with literally every item you might need! We had a small issue with one of the showers and the owner came and fixed it immediately, plus gave us a sweet New Years gift for the kids and adults! We will definitely be back and would totally recommend this to anyone looking for relaxing getaway!
This home worked out really well for us—a wonderful space over the Christmas holiday for our adult family of 8.
Owner, Mike, was super helpful—as was his dad who lives nearby.
With vacation rentals you sometimes wonder what property the owner was thinking when they wrote the description, but not so with this one. It was accurately described and pictured—maybe even undersold. As often is the case with rentals that get used a lot there were a few nits, but nothing that appreciably affected our stay.
Views are spectacular, space is generous and functional, and owner communication and support was outstanding. Thanks, Mike, for helping us build some wonderful memories with our family!
The 180 degree views from both living rooms are great, as are the ones from the decks adjoining them.
The property itself has a strong rustic look and feel and is easy to relax in. It's a short drive from the free parking near downtown and a pleasant walk if you're so inclined.
The only concerns our group encountered were the difference in the hot tub available off the general list versus what one sees after booking, and that the water filter seemed to be in need of replacing.
A minor note: the end of the driveway where you park is particularly soft, which was a problem for the lone motorcycle that made the trip, but it was able to be parked up the driveway without issue.

Best Mini Vacation stay EVER!
When my family and I first walked into this cabin- ours jaws dropped and were rendered practically speechless by the absolute charm inside the cabin... then completely blows away by the spectacular views of being directly above the lake and direct views of Rocky Mtn National Park's mountains! The cabin itself felt so tastefully decorated with the perfect amount of mountain charm. Coziness oozed from every room here and it didn't matter if we were outside relaxing on the wrap around deck, sitting at the dinner table or cooking a meal in the kitchen - we were constantly reminded by that breath-taking scenery- we weren't in anything but a true mountain get-a-way retreat!
We sure can't wait to come back again soon and feel the true taste of experiencing Estes Park at its finest. We may only live an hour and a half away in Golden, Colorado but talk about the perfect family get away and reminder why living in Colorado can be such a magical place to live.

We loved hosting your family! Thank you so much for the photo of the cabin from the lake as well as the cute family photo! It's wonderful to see families creating happy memories, that has been our aim of building this cabin as a vacation destination!
We hope to see you soon!

Nice House - not great experience
We just returned from our Colorado escape from quarantine in Estes Park at Lake Haus. And, while the house itself is very nice and quite spacious - even quite updated and the view of the lake is spectacular, there were several things about this house that would make us not recommend for future rentals. The main reason was the number of mice in and around the house due to the large piles of construction debris that is stored in the driveway and along the non-lake side of the property. We should have known when we found mice-traps placed around the house that it might be an issue. We had to dispose of two of them that were caught ourselves. Also, Mike was not very responsive. I had tried to contact him weeks in advance about our intention to bring a dog along on our trip and never received a response (just noticed after the fact that we were charged for the dog, but with no notification that was happening), even after multiple attempts to connect. We also did not receive lock/access instructions to the property until we drove into town the day of our arrival (again, multiple attempts to get hold of Mike and get the info, with his voicemail greeting stating that he was "Out of the country") - Mike did call my cell phone and provided the instructions as we were driving around Estes Park before check-in time, stating that he would follow up with an email - which we never received. The final issue with this house is the proximity to the main highway going into Estes Park itself, as it runs along side the property so what might be a peaceful lake-front time on the extended deck (which is a very nice deck with a hot-tub, which was nice but the cover was broken so you could only open it half-way), was not relaxing due to the excessive noise from passing traffic.
All and all, I would not recommend this house for anyone looking for a relaxing mountain/lakefront escape.
