Our stay was cut short by an emergency but the time we did get was excellent. The house was in an amazing location close enough to the main town area but far enough away to get some seclusion. Inside the home was very clean and well maintained. Anything we need the host was very responsive to help with.

Retreat was definitely a retreat!

We were nicely surprised at the quality of the retreat. It was in a great location along side a flowing creek. What we really appreciated was the promptness of communication and kindness from the host. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Empty nester Mama's getaway and spa weekend

My best friends and I stayed here over two nights to "get away" from it all. It was perfect. The three of us had our own rooms, ate all of our meals in the kitchen, and enjoyed coffee/chatting in the morning, spa time in the afternoon, and wine/food in the evening. We did spend 1/2 day in town, but mostly enjoyed everything about this lovely home! The most perfect part was walking downstairs to the spa for all of our treatments. The host is very communicative and her spa is amazing, highly recommend! We'll definitely be back!

Estes River Retreat

We had a great stay at Ravit's place by the river. We stayed 4 nights, and the house was very clean and had everything we needed, as well as being located close to everything downtown. In the evening deer came down the hill to drink out of the river and were great to watch.

Family Vacation

The house was beautiful and in a great location. We really enjoyed staying right on the river, and sat outside every night to enjoy the sounds. My wife and I walked into downtown from the house several times. The house was very clean and well-equipped. The owners/property managers were very nice and responded to our questions very quickly. We would definitely recommend this house for anybody!

Quiet home well situated near Estes Park

The location of this property kept us close to all things at this park. And it was only about a 10 minute drive to the Beaver Meadows and transfer Rocky Mountain national Park. The house is located at the end of a quiet street which we really appreciated having children traveling with us. We did not realize that the owner‘s business is part of the attached property. This wasn’t really a problem for us other than being worried about our children, making too much noise. Communication with the owner was fantastic and the house was very well appointed with all the things that we needed traveling with a family. We would definitely stay here again!

Great spot for a little time away

Came to Estes for a larger family reunion, this was a great place to retreat to after hiking in RMNP and other family events. Loved listening to the water flow by at night while enjoying the deck or porch. Kitchen had everything we needed, although we didn't use it much after breakfast as we were out and about enjoying the town which was an easy walk away. Bedrooms were comfortable, the shared bathroom was also appointed nicely, even with spa tips!

Great Stay in Estes

Property was nice and clean. Easy to get in and out. One recommendation to owners would be to have some blankets in the living room area. Fireplace was not working and it got chilly in the evenings. Would have been nice to have some blankets around.

Peaceful retreat full of amenities

We were in town for a wedding and really busy with those activities so it was so nice to return to such a peaceful home. It was stocked with more than we could have asked for (coffee, tea and syrups, plenty of towels, bathroom amenities), very comfortable bed and very clean. We had several wild life visitors right outside as well! I loved the little touches and really appreciated the calming bubble bath recipe. I didn’t have a chance to try the spa this time but this lovely home is definitely due for a return visit.

Lovely home walking distance to downtown

Stayed here with my husband and 17-year-old son The house was very cozy and offered lots of space to relax both separately and together. Beds and furniture are very comfortable and the house has all the amenities you’d want, plus more. Downtown is about a quarter-mile walk away so we never had to battle with parking downtown. The only negative thing is the proximity of the house to the highway, which can be pretty loud during peak hours. Mornings and evenings are quiet, though, making it easy to enjoy the sound of the stream in the backyard. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and agreed that the house was exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Estes Family Home

We spent five nights here with our two grandaughters and enjoyed it immensely. It was away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but an easy drive there and to other attractions when we wanted. The girls are under 10 and Estes Fun City was a short walk so in high demand from these two. The only downside we experienced is the traffic noise from Hwy 34 made it so we didn't feel much like sitting out on the deck or patio. I don't count this against the property as about everything in Estes is close to busy roads in summer. Wish I'd brought my fly fishing gear as the river in the back yard is open for fishing! Overall a great stay and easy to work with the owners.

Amazing home - Relaxation and rejuvenation!!!

Gorgeous home. Perfectly advertised - amazing space for our family of 4. We ended up not using the downstairs bedroom - beautiful space - but a bit chilly down there. Great family room to cozy up in - home is beautifully decorated - and kitchen is amazingly stocked! I love when owners leave spices and baking things you may have forgotten - so thoughtful! One bathroom was fine for we four - and it was lovely - full of all kinds of bath products. The deck overlooking the river was wonderful. Although the main road is across fall river - it was not loud at all. The outside property is beautiful. Nestled in the woods on the river - perfection! The attached spa was a lovely addition to the aesthetics of the property, but also the general feeling of relaxation and slowing down. The owner was wonderful to communicate with and I felt like the house was so fairly priced for such a wonderful space! There were amazing closets for extra storage and unpacking so you can really feel settled in and at home. The home was so clean, so well stocked, and check in and check out was a breeze with a coded door system. We highly recommend - it was awesome!

Great Getaway + Spa!

On our trip was husband (40s), daughter (teen), MIL (70s), and me (30s). When we checked in, Ravit was there to greet us and show us around! It was extremely clean and came with so many amenities - games, books, multiple TVs, information about the local area, maps of hikes and hike information, a two-person hammock (and boy did we use it!!), copious outdoor seating near the river, ice trays (so many places don't supply ice trays!), and, my very favorite, a fan in each room for white noise. The beds & pillows were very comfortable, and we took advantage of both the deck and the lower-level outdoor seating area. Shower pressure was great, and everything you could want for a nice shower or bath was supplied. There was even air freshener in the bathroom! The courtyard is also a great hideout when the elk pass through so you can get good pictures but stay at a safe distance. And we did see elk pass through! A big bull came right by chasing two does. The house is situated right next to the highway to Beaver Meadows entrance, so the street is busy. But you couldn't hear any outside traffic noise from the inside. Here's what I wish I had known: The house is two floors (one bath upstairs, no bath downstairs) with a big staircase. My MIL has mobility issues, so she took the primary, but the bed was a bit high for her with her issues, and the stairs were difficult. It wasn't the most accessible. If it was just us three, it would have been perfect. Will stay again! TRY THE SPA!

We had a great time at this location, house was clean, fully furnished and had a lot of fun artistic touches. One of my daughters loved the "cow girl" bedroom. Location is great, on the river, walking distance to the Estes Tram, Estes Brewery, Fun City and walkable to downtown. Also, being next to Massage and Wellness Center is a huge perk, booked and enjoyed a massage while I was there. Great location
