Perfect Location
We were pleased with the access to all the adventures in the area.The trail next door, Estes Park,Nederland,Lyons (tubing) and Brainard Lake (great for moose sightings). Only thing to note is that you will have to supply paper products(napkins, Kleenex, extra toilet paper). Overall cleanliness was good. It is a camp but perfect for a great Colorado Mountain experience. We especially enjoyed bird watching on the large deck.

Family Vacation
This is the second time we have stayed in the cabin. The first was 2021. Close enough to Estes, RMNP, & Boulder for day trips but walking distance to St Vrain Trailhead. A walk in the National Forest was a great way to start and end the day. The hottub was the best way to follow up the hikes! We saw a large deer or small elk elk about 50ft away from the cabin when we grilled and were eating on the deck. Planning to return for visit #3 2025 or 2026.

Our getaway to Ward Colorado, and skiing at Eldora, and then on to Estes Park!
We enjoyed our wonderful stay here, 7 of us, and the proximity to Eldora Ski Resort. And then we visited Estes Park on the way back easbound. Loved the hot tub (I've owned hot tubs for years; we appreciated that the owner spent the $$ to upgrade his jacuzzi to salt water) ... it was perfect after all day skiing at Eldora. We will return next year!

First of all, The location is beautiful!!! The property is beautiful, the house is cute. The owner was super nice once we got into contact. HOWEVER!!! The hose is in dire need of a deep cleaning. Im not sure if the owner is aware of the state of the house, so we will let him know. We had to re wash everydish we pulled out, clean the fridge. The lights and fans are filled with dead bugs and moths. Blankets were clean and so.e Some weren't. It was requested to fold blanketa and leave on beds and to "try", to wash all linens slept with, and towels. We did spend the extra time for this and ran out of soap. We wanted badly to enjoy the hot tub. We all showered to get in, to realize the hot tub had scum in it and floating debres in it, and it smelled like a filthy fish tank. We wished the house to be clean to enjoy it, and the hot tub. We can tell that it is a loved home. Also, cell service is a NO, their a home phone for local calls only. Do not expect to have strong wifi for work and their is no cable. Also, the maid is rude...and maybe part.of the cleanliness issue. Mixed feelings, about the rental.

Great family house with a funky layout
The property was great! My kids loved the play area outside and the jacuzzi - and gotta love that location! We got a lot of use out of the fire pit and enjoyed the games and toys that awaited us there. We were unprepared for the room layout - the downstairs bathroom is ensuite to the room with two bunk beds, so we had to walk through the kids' room to use it (not ideal after bedtime). The bathtub (upstairs) could not be plugged, which was problematic for washing the little ones, and the hot water needs to be managed or it will run out. That's not so surprising on a mountain property, but altogether it meant our 3yo didn't have a bath the whole time we were there. The internet did go out while we were there, but we reset the router behind the TV and it came back on. The internet is not strong enough for streaming, there's no reception or 3G coverage and there's no broadcast TV, so it's definitely worth it to bring your own DVDs But it is a lovely little property, with all you could ask from a mountain retreat. The deck is so clean and smooth, we all went barefoot, and the stars at night were just breathtaking!! We would love to stay again next time we're in CO! And we're especially grateful to Ray for making the extra effort to get us our 3yo's doll back after she hid it in the playhouse while we were packing! It was above and beyond and very much appreciated!

Great for hikers, and to disconnect
Literally right at the Ceran St. Vrain trailhead. You can easily get in a morning hike up and down the trail before many other people arrive. Situated at about 8100' amongst several hills and mountains, you won't be getting cell signal to be tempted by distractions (although there is wifi available in the cabin if you really need it).

Property not as described!
Prior to our arrival, we had great communication with the owner. Ray called to be sure that we knew how to get to the property, how to enter the property and to give us a few tips about being in that area. Unfortunately, upon arrival the property was not as listed. The weeds and grass were so tall that we were unable to use the fire pit, swingset, and play area the whole week for fear of safety. Entering the cabin, there was a foul odor that we were unable to get rid of all week. Windows unable to open, the ones that were able to open either had ripped screens or were so thick with dust you could not get any air flow in the cabin. The dishes were all dirty and covered in grease and there were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and lights, The shower curtain liner was absolutely filthy, all sheets and towels smelling not fresh. The downstairs bathroom has a horrible smell of fish that will turn your stomach. The shower handle was broken in the basement several lights out of order, plugs not working, and other miscellaneous broken items. Beds very uncomfortable, one with visible mildew on corner of mattress. Fridge froze all of our food items and was thick with dust on top. Despite the property being very disappointing, and feeling that we deserve some money back, the surrounding area is absolutely stunning. We were able to see deer on the property and thoroughly enjoyed the river and trail down the way. We had wonderful weather and loved Boulder county.

Overall our family of 6 had a great stay. We enjoyed having a close hiking trail nearby and the hot tub. It was also a great location to bounce back between the Boulder and Estes Park area. The kids were never bored there with out the TV and found enough toys and games to keep them busy. Everyone slept great in the beds.
