Our family thoroughly enjoyed this house! The spacious dining table with roller chairs was excellent, the smaller table for 4 was perfect for an ongoing "national parks monopoly" game purchased at the alpine visitor center! The outdoor space was incredible! Our grands loved playing in the water! The hiking tips from the hosts were very helpful and appreciated!

Wedding weekend

We travelled in for a wedding and the groom’s family stayed here. The space was great for a variety of ages in the family from a newborn, multiple toddlers, 2 teens, to the adults. The river was calming and beautiful and located perfectly outside of town where it was not too far but not too close either. The host was very communicative from booking to checkout. Thanks for a great stay!

Just what we wanted!

We booked this as a relaxing work retreat/team building weekend. It was perfect! The location is just fabulous with the river literally right off the back deck. We enjoyed the walking trails and the great coffee shop/bakery across the street. The house was lovely and gave each family their own space but the living room and game room were such great communal areas! Will likely stay there again!

Spacious house with good location close to Rocky Mountain NP.

This huge, beautiful house was perfect for our family of 15. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed the upper balcony over the roaring river below. It is located close to the Beaver Meadows Entrance to Rocky Mountain NP. We went hiking 3 days in a row. So many wonderful memories were created during our stay here.

Clean, well taken care of. The host was great. The running river by the house was so peaceful. Three deer walked right up to the house eating grass. Beautiful setting. Foosball, arcade and ping pong were lots of fun in the basement. We took full advantage of the Rocky Mountain YMCA just 1/2 mile away. Very close to all the great things to do in Estes Park.

Outstanding Property!

This house is perfect for a large group of people. It rained every afternoon during the trip so that was a perfect time for ping pong tournaments downstairs. The hosts truly go above and beyond to make your stay welcoming. The house was also spotless when we arrived. Rocky Mountain National Park is well within walking distance for hikes. Also, a free Estes Park shuttle stops very close to the house so you don’t have to drive into town and search for parking. The river is right beside the house, giving you a beautiful view. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to stay again.

Awesome property

Huge cabin with lots of rooms and bathrooms for big groups. I had 14 people in my group and we were all very comfortable. The game room is awesome for kids, and backed up to the river is great for fly fishing! Very quiet neighborhood and very peaceful. Plenty of room for parking unless you have several big trucks. Only bad thing was downstairs fridge didn’t really work and no ice makers worked. Overall it was a great stay!
