Fantastic hub for our Colorado vacation
We reviewed many properties before choosing this one. Some of the features that stood out in the listing and came through in our actual stay...the views-SO nice, location-zip right over to the park, the rustic homey feel of the place, the comfy couches and living room area, enough bedrooms for the kids to spread out, laundry, deck, bonus was the sunroom (we had a puzzle going while we were there), all the rooms had what you would expect (towels, dishes, etc). The owners were fantastic to communicate with and helped remind us about those important details like trash day! We had a mixup with silly Amazon being way late with our order and they went above and beyond to help connect the item with us! We saw wildlife on the property, we enjoyed the proximity to the park and town. We took a day trip to Loveland and basically had the Loveland Lazer Tag place to ourselves. Most of the group hiked everyday with the favorites being Alberta Falls, Skypond, and Flattop Mountain. Overall everything was great and we'd stay there again if we have the chance to return in the future!

Wonderful stay at "On the Rocks"!
The house was well furnished. The pinball machine was very popular with us and guests! (.50/game or 5 games for $2.00) Kitchen was outfitted nicely to prepare meals. The gas grill was a bonus. Plenty of room for guests to stay comfortably. The wood burning fireplace was so cozy. We ordered some wood to be delivered and had a fire most evenings. The views from the deck and living room were specular! We had 3 to 4 inches of snow three times. We never tired of the views! Enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and driving all around Estes Park. We were thrilled to see so much wildlife! A lot of mule deer, elk and a bobcat hunting mice on a couple of occasions. Our stay was a month long and we hated to leave. The Acela's were always prompt to address any questions. We would definitely like to return!

Beautiful location
The location was wonderful (close to RMNP and Estes Park) and the property was clean. The property had everything that we needed. The owner was prompt in all communication and responses to questions. I most enjoyed the views from the living and dining room. I rated it 4 stars for 2 reasons. We arrived on Monday Jan 1 and the 2 extra large trash cans in the garage were overflowing with trash from the previous occupants. By Tuesday the trash odor could be smelled in the bottom level of the home and continued until trash pick up on Thursday. The owners communicated that we were responsible for taking the trashcans to the curb for trash pick up. I asked about the overflowing trash cans and the owners requested that we do our best to close the trashcans so that the animals would not get into the trash (if they did we would be assessed a fine). I don't mind dealing with my own trash but I do not like having to handle and be responsible for other people's trash. The previous occupants left patio furniture outside on the deck (the house instructions say to move all of the patio furniture into the enclosed porch). We did not use or move any of the patio furniture. When I asked about leaving the patio furniture as it was when we arrived, I was told that it needed to be moved to the enclosed porch. I did not like having to be responsible for the previous occupants' failure to comply with the house rules.

Picture Perfect Mountain View
House on the Rocks was inviting and cozy. It provided all the amenities that we were looking for a Christmas/Graduation celebration. The hosts were so kind, had great communication, and check-in, and check-out were easy. The views were amazing, and the house is in a convenient location. we made many wonderful memories while staying here!

Beautiful View, Plenty of Wildlife
The "On The Rocks" estate is a cabin built in the 90s, and it certainly looks the part. But don't let that deter you! This property is wonderfully clean, charmingly decorated, and spacey enough to house a small army. This cabin has a perfect view of the mountains toward the South Side of the park, and you'll see plenty of wildlife wandering through the yard during your stay. It's a breezy 5 minute drive from the cabin to the park entrance. The hosts are very friendly and communicative - we really appreciated all of their helpful tips, activity suggestions, and comprehensive cabin instructions! The heating and cooling are a little fickle, as the air is released via baseboard radiators that are scattered around the cabin, but once we got used to it, we were able to properly control the temperature. I highly recommend!

Great location, perfect cabin feel yet near town
We really enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed to cook meals, it was so nice to have a good gathering space for family, the proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park was fantastic, and downtown Estes Park was great too. The mountain views were phenomenal and the wildlife was really fun to watch. It was a bit difficult to cool the house down on hot days, but I think we picked a really hot week to go. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay. Will recommend to friends and family.
