"Perfectly OK room with a comfortable bed. The room next door had a barking dog that was abandoned by its owners for several hours, which was not cool. The person at the front desk was friendly and helpful. Rooms are not as nice as they look in the photos. They were hastily remodeled, and not that nice. Maybe overpriced for what you get, but it’s Steamboat- everything is expensive."

"This cabin is in an excellent location for visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. It was also convenient to Estes Park shopping and restaurants. The cabin was comfortable and clean. They advertised a hot tub, but it was not available. The grill needed work and wasn't in good shape. We enjoyed the wild turkeys and elk that wandered through the property! Overall, we did enjoy our stay."
