Great location and well-managed

My family spent a weekend at this house. We really enjoyed the location. We walked from the house to downtown easily. It's a pretty steep hill to downtown, so be aware of that if you have physical limitations. There is a staircase, but not sure whose property it is. House is clean and well managed. No ridiculous check-out tasks!

Nice 360 degree view. Comfortable great room. Clean, well-stocked kitchen and baths. Sturdy snow shovel was a godsend. Hot tub was actually too hot. we liked The Wapiti for dinner; short walk to town.

Elk Watching

Wonderful location. Cabin very clean, comfortable, sunny/bright, all the comforts of home. Property manager communicated everything we needed to know in a timely manner, no surprises. Estes Park and surrounding area had lots of good restaurants but convenient to eat in as well. Easy walk to downtown shopping and eateries. Nice to sit on deck with great view of mountains and downtown. Many active things to do in the park. We especially enjoyed hiking, elk watching and the open air "adventure ride" up the mountain! Would certainly go back to Estes Park and stay at the cabin again.

Estes Park Property

The location of this place was incredible. The beds are just fine. However, the fuse went out and we couldn't find the breaker. Because of this, we couldn't use the stove or the microwave for our final day. The hot tub was a bit dirty. I'm not sure if the filter was broken or what so we only went in once. That being said, everything else was amazing. The deck is incredible. The view outside each morning made it a great stay. And the location is fantastic.

Prime Location

This property is in the heart of Estes Park. It is easy to walk to and around the town. The house is spacious. The hot tub is like new and very nice. Many of the furnishing were worn and/or broken. It appeared to be furnished with odds and ends or recycled items. Wall decorations adhere to the wall via thumbtacks. Advertised fans make a lot of noise. The noise was problematic at night. I enjoyed my stay; however, due to the lack of polish on the interior I would not return to this house.

Nell's House

We have been renting cabins/homes in Estes Park since 2009 while I exhibit my art work at the Memorial Day and Labor Day art shows in Bond Park. We stayed at Maybell’s cabin previously, but this was the first time we stayed at Nell’s. Our daughter’s family from Battlement Mesa, CO joined us, and it was a full house with adults and grandkids. The house is within walking distance of Bond Park which allowed Jean to sleep in while I went to work selling art. The hot tub was great after a day on your feet. Nell’s house was built in 1909 and additions have been made. The grandkids liked exploring where all the doors led. The drawer pulls, cabinet latches and “pass thru” bedrooms reminded me of the house I grew up in. If you plan to stay, bring a couple electrical adapters to make 2-prong outlets accept 3-prong devices. Otherwise, the place is up to date with contemporary conveniences.

Cute and quirky, perfect location!

This place was great. It’s an older cabin, right off the main streets in Estes, and it had everything we needed to feel safe and to have a place to relax and to be close to the city. The only concerning thing was the flooring in front bathroom and kitchen—it wasn’t level and our toddler had a rough time with it. Provided laundry was a huge bonus, the deck and the hot tub were great. We couldn’t turn on the hot tub and they came immediately to fix it. We would love to be able to stay here again.

We loved Nell’s Cabin

Nell’s Cabin was the perfect place for us to stay in Estes Park, with lots of room, accommodations and peace and serenity just a few steps away from the heart of downtown. We saw elk grazing just down the street from us! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back!

Great views, great location.

This property is great for a family that may be doing different activities. Having it so close to downtown was a perk, the views were great. The kitchen is a little rough and not very inviting, but the rest of the cabin was just what we needed. The second bathroom had a shower that was so small no one in our party could fit in it, but the master shower was fine, and we all used that. Overall great time and experience.

The location was excellent. Beds need to be upgraded. Not enough doubles. The trundles aren’t great.

It worked well for location. Still needs some upgrades. Hot tub wasn’t working for over half the visit which was really disappointing. It was a cute place.

Great Location, Spotlessly Clean

The property is a charming 1960's vacation home that hasn't been updated much but is spotlessly clean. There are newer shower enclosures. The decks and views are great, and it's a short walk down a hill to the center of town. The master BR is great; the others are small with twin beds but comfy.

We had a great stay. The cabin was very clean and comfortable.

The cabin was large and roomy, very comfortable for 6. The twin beds could use new mattresses, would be fine for kids but was a little uncomfortable for our old bones. The sleep number was great once we found our number. Beautiful view and a short walk to town made it a very plesent stay.

Family vacation

We loved this house! We stayed here with our family of 5 plus 2 grandparents and it was perfect for our family. This cabin is close to RMNP and less than a 1/10 of a mile from Main Street downtown. We used the private stairs to walk down several nights. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen and made meals at home and enjoyed relaxing in the large living room after hiking during the day. This was a perfect fit for our family and a good value. We loved it and would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Schneider

I have been going to Estes Park since I was 3. Every year we drove to Estes in our station wagon from Topeka, KS to enjoy the crisp mountain air. Now with my husband and four grown children and grandchildren, we have a place to gather and make new memories every year.

Why they chose this property

My Great great grandfather bought this land around 1910 and started building his first cabin. After his death, his children took over and built a cabin for each of them to enjoy the CO. summers. Nell's Cabin was next door to all of ours so when it came up for sale we had to buy it. It was a great addition. Now we can share our mountain memories with so many more. We live in Tucson, AZ in the winter, but have a great team of people to help us make this dream a reality.

What makes this property unique

Nell's Cabin is nestled in a quiet neighborhood of old historic Estes Park cabins. It sits on a hill overlooking the center of town with the BEST views of Longs Peak and the range. There is green space below, therefore we have lots of visitors. Elk, deer, chipmunks, etc. like to walk through and take naps below the deck. Our location makes it perfect to just park your car and walk to the center of town to enjoy all that it has to offer
