Great cabin with many extra amenities. Loved listening to the river at night from the front porch. The cabin was very clean and just perfect for my family of 6.
My family enjoyed being together in your rustic Brown Cabin! It was a good size and had what we needed for an enjoyable time together! We enjoyed visiting Estes Park and the beautiful Rocky Mountains. The hiking was great as was the wildlife we saw!
Our adult children including grandchildren enjoy staying together on vacation. This allowed each family to have their own room and still be together. They also requested a cabin in the mountains, again Brown Cabin fit the bill. It was rustic enough to be authentic and modern enough for all of our needs for the week.
We rented this lovely cabin for a family gathering to have a memorial for our sister who'd passed away and found this to be the perfect setting, rustic, homey, with lots of character. Nice space for lots of people to eat, play games, spread out.
We were very pleased with our stay. The home was beautiful, clean and perfectly located. The description in the ad was very accurate. There are no complaints!
The views were awesome! This is a true "rustic" cabin. Not a lot of outlets for electrical devices. The control on the refrigerator was broken so a lot of our food in the frig got frozen. However, the location and views were spectacular and the town of Estes Park was really fun!

Brown cabin
This little cabin has some great potential but sure could use some updates. Description listed is somewhat accurate and we knew it would be an older cabin from the description given, yet some things you can’t know from pictures. The floors are very uneven and creak a lot. There is a musty smell that some older cabins get. And there were very few “extras” there that we have always found in abundance at other VRBO’s such as spices, and extra little things (saran wrap, tinfoil…etc) that many times other renters leave behind for others to use. Not that that’s part of a VRBO rental just found it odd as we have always been in cabins that had several of those items. Just letting others know in case they have experienced that as well and don’t buy something thinking it may be there. There were a few other things that would have made the stay much nicer had they provided also. For those who like things close to town, this is close enough yet not in the center of town. We just prefer things further out of town. This is a first for us to put out there something somewhat negative on a VRBO but feel others should know, especially for what we pay for renting a cabin. On a positive….I would like to say the owners were very open to honest feedback and apologized for the disappointment and the things we had issues with and said she would take action in fixing a couple of the problems we had. We appreciate that she asked how our stay was and could truly be open about it.
