Great location to RMNP and Estes

This place was exactly what we were hoping for in our stay. Close to RMNP for morning hikes and close to Estes Park for ice cream runs. The owners were great and responsive to questions. This was one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever had for a VRBO home. Great place to unwind and just hang out.

The Estes property on the Big Thompson river was all it was advertised to be. My wife and I loved the location and proximity to the town and Rocky Mountain Forest. The setting, with the Big Thompson just out the back door, walking path along the river, mountain views at the ready. Close enough to walk to town for those that like to walk/hike, but at the same time feeling nestled away with all that we needed to be comfortable, the home was very welcoming and appointed well; We enjoyed the living room with the fire place, the kitchen, and the TV room, while in the home. We spent our days hiking in the forest and walking the town, and felt great coming back to relax at the end of each day. The management was very responsive before, during and after our stay, making sure that we had the best visit. We are definitely looking at returning in the future!
