You can fish from your balcony.
Location was close to Estes Park. Just far enough out of town. The room isnt fancy but you can fish off the back deck. The hot tub worked properly. If you are staying extended days you might need to flag down the cleaning lady and ask for replcement towels. She was very nice. The owners were easy to contact. Did i mention you can fish from the back deck? Cell phone service can be spotty but it wasnt terrible. Ultimately we enjoyed our stay.

Quaint and Comfortable
We stayed here for a week for our honeymoon. We did struggle to find it with the address on VRBO but eventually found it. It is right on the river with a hot tub. The hot tub was everything we hoped for and more. It was hot with great views. It had just enough space for the two of us and was the perfect distance from town. We didn't get lucky enough to see an elk on the river and the sound of the hwy was easily drowned out with a fan. My only complaint would be the no A.C. as it was 95° the first day of our trip. Ans on the knit picky side we also could have used a few more towels being there a week with no laundry access and the decor could use updating. But we will definitely be staying here again. We loved it and it was well worth it to be on the river.

Anniversary stay
We spent our 30th anniversary at this lovely cabin. Had such a great time at the national park and Estes Park. Would definitely recommend and go back. The back deck with the river and jacuzzi were just such a bonus! Had a nice visit from several elk while there.

Disappointing stay
Location was ok. Right on the Big Thompson River. Nice to just walk out and fish. Cabin seemed poorly maintained however . When we arrived the coffee pot was dirty. Several floor tiles were loose. Numerous light bulbs were burnt out, Fireplace is broken so when it got cold so we had to use a space heater, Hot tub stopped working during our stay. Also there’s no AC in this cabin only a box fan and since it’s near the highway you get a lot of road noise with the windows open. Spoke with someone from Texas staying in another cabin who said that his cabin was supposed to have a hot tub and there wasn’t even one there, so I guess we were lucky. Not completely horrible but it could have been and should have been so much better.

The location was wonderful. Close to Estes Park but not in the crowds. The deck was amazing. Right on the Big Thompson River with a lovely hot tub. Nice gas grill as well. Missed a small dining table but the raised coffee table was adequate. Would stay there again!

Great location and hot tub!
While the decor is a bit outdated the cottage itself and location are amazing! It was nice to be a little out of the chaos of downtown Estes Park but still super close. The mini kitchen was well-stocked and great for cooking, and the deck and private hot tub could not be beat. We came right after backpacking for a few days and were dying to take a shower, Wendy was great at communicating and was kind enough to let us check in a couple hours early. The wifi was really weak in the cottage which wasn't a big deal for us but might be for someone who was trying to work or stay connected to the outside world during their stay. Overall great stay that I've already shared with several friends.

Perfect property and great location.
I have nothing but good things to say about this property. It was as good, or better, than the listing. It was comfortable and nicely appointed. Everything you need is there. You get the added bonus of a beautiful deck right on the Big Thompson. The hot tub is a wonderful bonus. I would definitely recommend this property.

The Perfect Spot for Estes Park
Minutes from downtown Estes, waterfront property with fantastic views right in the backyard. We absolutely loved our stay here, it was very private, comfortable and cozy. The cottage was well stocked and had a quick and easy check-in. My wife and I enjoyed the hot tub every day of our stay, and we used the kitchen to cook a few meals. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quiet getaway, we will be back.
