Cabins were very clean, cozy and conveniently located near RMNP. The only problem was that there were no sponges for dishwashing and the hosts never reacted to any of our messages about this, during or after our stay.

Great RMNP homebase

close to RMNP and just far enough away from Estes Park, which was very busy. We enjoyed the quiet location and the 2 cabins proved to be very useful for our dynamic group. Highly recommend!

Ideal location to get to the park and get to town. Very cute cabins. Spouse and I stayed in Smiling Elk with the queen bed, laundry and kitchen. Mom and sister stayed in Little Bear with mini fridge and 2 twin beds. We had separation when wanted but could also get together for evening activities.

Cute cabin was just right for my wife and I. The location was ideal; close to rocky mtn national park and just far enough out of Estes Park hustle and bustle. We loved having the BBQ Grill for cooking our lunches and dinners. We even acquired some Elk from the local market just down the street. The booking included 2 cabins, one we did not use but would work well if we bring the grandkids next time.

Our hosts were top notch. We rented cabin 913 & 915 and they had everything that we needed. 913 had the full bathroom, stove and washer/dryer, but 915 had everything that you need for hiking and seeing Estes Park & RMNP. Karen stocked the cabin with evrything that we needed. Even stopped by to check-in on us! A hosts and stay. Would highly recommend to anyone. When we come back to RMNP, we will stay here for sure
