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.

Great location to RMNP and Estes

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.

Wonderful Views & Location

The home on Big Thompson River was beautiful. It had everything we needed and was well stocked. The river is right in the backyard and we loved walking along the river to “Coffee on the Rocks” for breakfast. It is in a great location only minutes from downtown Estes Park. We enjoyed our “extreme” vacation very much! Thanks to Mrs. Barb Bortz for the use of her beautiful home on Big Thompson River!

Perfect place to stay in Estes

We had such a lovely stay in this beautiful mountain home! Barb is incredible in her kind and helpful assistance before and during our stay. She truly has the gift of hospitality. Our group of two couples had more than enough room to stay and this home could have easily accommodated another couple. We loved the comfortable king size beds. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you may need. The location was excellent with a walking path in the backyard right by the river. Beautiful! Close to town but far enough away to be peaceful. Loved it!

Lovely Townhome on Big Thompson

We take an annual vacation to Colorado with some family members.We loved the house which came with bonus wildlife, a mother elk and her calf that provided hours of viewing enjoyment. While this home was smaller than our usual VRBO, we selected it because of the three king beds, a feature we wish more accommodations would offer. It was the perfect size for two couples and for two nights, another family with their two small children—we never felt over-crowded in the space. Love the convenient location — easy walk into Estes, and very close to RMNP.

Very comfortable, quite neighborhood. Enjoyed the beautiful community. Would have appreciated Evolve sending the check in information several days in advance. I had to request the check in info. We were 3 days before our arrival before we received an email. Worried we had a problem.

Stunning home!

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It is exactly as advertised—and more. Our family consisted of two grandparents, two parents, and two children, and the space was ideal. The family of four took the upstairs, while the grandparents had the master suite, and it was perfect. Comfortable beds, fabulous amenities, and an exquisite location. The kids loved playing in the snowy backyard, and the adults enjoyed walking along the trail. Views of the mountains highlighted our days, and beautiful starry skies topped off our nights. Access to the home was simple, and the communication was unbeatable. We will book this place for all our future visits to Estes Park.

A perfect stay!

We couldn't have asked for anything more! The house was perfect for our family trip. The two grandparents took the master suite, while our adult daughter, her husband, and the two toddlers had the upstairs to themselves. Gorgeous home, stunning location, well-stocked, great amenities. The neighborhood is quiet, and the trail along the river is lovely. The yard was perfect for toddler sledding. And those beautiful starlit skies—we could have stayed for a month! The home is only five minutes from the entrance to RMNP and less than that into town. Barb was amazing to work with. I can't think of a single thing we would have changed. This will be our go-to choice for future stays!

Had a great time and the house we stayed in was fantastic. Close to everything yet still had some privacy. Grandson's loved the fishing in the Big Thompson River behind the place. Highly reccomend the place. You won't be dissapointed.
