The house was clean & spacious. The kitchen was well stocked.. we were able to have a cookie baking day & prepare meals for 16 people everyday. The host, Julie was quick to respond to our questions. She called to make sure we got into the house ok & reviewed how things worked. We appreciated the small touches..Kleenex, night lights, a broom & vacuum stick, throw blankets. The location was perfect..close to downtown Estes as well as the park entrance. Would highly recommend for large groups!
We had the BEST time staying in this beautiful home with both sides of our family. The game room was amazing and the kids absolutely loved it. The house was huge and fit our family of 18 perfectly!
We were looking for a place that would fit a large group - this was an excellent choice! Beautiful scenery, lots of wild life - perfect for our get together!
We had a perfect time with little to no worries due to all the amenities that are at this beautiful home. Glorious views to wake up to just a great place to take in the amazing area. Loved this place
This was exactly what we were looking for to get the family together and have enough space for everyone to be comfortable. The game room was good for both the kids and competitive adults. Enough space for everyone to either gather together in the large spaces or to escape to your own area of the house if you wanted. Will definitely consider another stay of the family decides to do another trip to Estes Park.
We loved this home's location, views, spaciousness, and amenities! And Julie was a top-shelf owner/hostess—courteous, thorough, responsive, and hospitable. Couldn't ask for more. As semi-regular travelers to Estes Park we hope to be able to stay here again in the years to come. Truly first class!
There was so much to do. Only minutes away from Rocky Mountain National Park and so many activities in the house for all of us to do. And then great fires on the deck at night !!! Great week.

Great for our Group
This property worked great for our group. Very close to the national park. Amazing views. And everything you need on-site for a great trip. Julie was great to work with and was very helpful and responsive. 🙌
This property was an ideal home during our long weekend. The bountiful space and many amenities were a fitting complement to the beautiful setting. Communication with the property manager before, during , and after our stay made us feel welcome and well cared for.
Our large family has been gathering for one-week vacation since 2019 and we all agreed that our stay at Park Entrance Lodge was the best yet! This large home provided all the necessities for all ages along with spaces to spread out as needed. Two dishwashers, two washer and dryers, ample bathrooms and great outdoor spaces. Everything was as described and the location adjacent to parks and town of Estes was absolutely perfect! We will be adding this to our "do again" list!

Awesome spot for a larger group
We had an awesome time at this cabin which was nestled in Estes park and a close drive to the national parks for some good hiking. Wildlife was all around and we would often see elk and deer in the back yard. The hot tub is amazing to use when it's cold out. The basketball court was so much fun to play in. We were able to cook large meals for the group thanks to the kitchen. Would certainly book again
We greatly enjoyed staying at the Park Entrance Lodge. The views were amazing and the home was wonderful!
Every room was so nicely appointed and the decor and artwork made it so special. Every need was provided, with a well-appointed kitchen and well-supplied bathrooms. We had plenty of space to sleep, chill separately or be all together when we weren't out enjoying the RMNP or Estes. Our grandchildren enjoyed the game room and basketball court
Julie was wonderful and responsive to any concern.
We thank her for a wonderful time in her beautiful home!
We had a family of 10 and we all had an absolute blast in this beautiful home. There was such a great amount of space and everyone had their own rooms, which was fantastic. The pool table and living area were perfect and the home had plenty of things to do. Julie was fabulous with communication and assisted us anytime we had questions or needs and was always willing to help if needed. Highly recommend!

Annual Family Reunion
This was our second time staying at Park Entrance Lodge. As before the accommodations are exceptional. Juile is very good to work with and is always available if any questions were to arise. Everyone loves the incredible views of Longs Peak and the surrounding Rocky Mountain area. The lodge is easily accessible and near to all sorts of outdoor activities. Although there is amazing activities to do on site. The pool table, basketball court and hot tub are our favorites. Great place and good times for all!

Beautiful home for our family
We rented Park Entrance Lodge for my parents 65th anniversary. We had a large group there and this house was perfect. Mom and dad are in there upper 80s and they were able to get around the house easily. There was room enough for everyone and yet everyone could be together easily. The views are outstanding and we hang out on the deck quite often. And it was easy access to the park which was a huge Plus.
And kudos to the cleaning staff as the house was immaculate when we showed up.
Thanks to Julie and the team for making our stay there so wonderful.
Lovely, lovely, lovely!!! We reluctantly left Park Entrance this morning. Coffee on the deck was our last event. Perfection! The ever changing view is life affirming!
Thank you for everything🌲🦌🏔️❤️
Beautiful home with plenty of room for our large family. The kitchen was fully stocked and appliances all worked well. Loved the huge dining table and there were 2 cribs and a pack n play available for the little ones. The kids really enjoyed the game room and the adults enjoyed having the pool table in the living room/kitchen area for easy socializing. The biggest pluses were the large and ultra clean hot tub, the amazing Mountain View and the many elk and mule deer we saw right in our back yard.
My wife and I took our children and their grandchildren on a trip to Estes Park and the RMNP June 7-13. The house was in great shape and was perfect for our large family. We had 10 adults and 7 grandchildren. Plenty of room for all. The kids had a fun time with all the furnished games like the basketball court, air hockey, shuffle board and the hot tub of course. The house is situated on a hill with a big deck facing the Rockies. What a view! Deer and Elk came by and the weather was great. This house was close to the RMNP entrance so in that respect it was in a very good location and still close to Estes Park. We went for the park and to be together and it was all good! Everybody loved the place and would love to come back again.

Great location, kids enjoyed the game room. Refrigerator had been shut off, we had 13 the first week. It took 1 full week for ice machine to make enough ice, so needdless to say we had to buy multiple bags of ice to make drinks.
Awesome Place to stay for a Mountain Wedding at Sprague Lake!!!
The house was absolutely beautiful! It was clean, and fully stocked with all amenities. Ann gave a complete rundown of how everything worked. Julie was the hostess with the mostest. I spoke to her prior to our arrival, she called the day we got there and after. Any questions we had, she answered right away. Would definitely stay there again!!! OOHH...and the view!!!! ABSOLULTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! I would definitely recommend staying at the Park Entrance Lodge!!
This home was perfect for our family vacation. There were 10 adults, 2 babies, and 3 toddlers and plenty of room for us all. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare meals big & small. There was a cabinet with tons of spices and canned sodas and some other odds & ends for cooking. Loved that there were 2 dishwashers & 2 washer/dryers! The booster seat and high chair were a plus too! And I can't leave out the beautiful dining table and view as your dining! The view was AMAZING!! We admired it every day. It was a short drive to the National Park which we explored all week. We also were able to watch some Elk off the back decks. The neighborhood is very quiet and it's a very short drive into downtown. It's amazing how many stars you can see at night as everyone keeps the outdoor lights off and there are no street lights. The homeowners called to make sure we arrived safe & sound and were very easy to communicate with if we had any questions or concerns. We had a great time. We're definitely keeping this beautiful home on our list!

Outstanding! Book this house NOW!!
We have stayed in this home twice and both times it was a fantastic experience. There were 18 of us this time and we didn't feel cramped at all. We cooked in and had plenty of room in their fully stocked kitchen, the outdoor grill is a plus too. The deck was our gathering spot in the morning and evening each day. The firepit is such a nice touch. Julie and Anna are easy to work with, friendly, professional and accommodating. I have absolutely no complaints and would highly recommend this home or any home offered by Julie and Anna. We will be back again!
