Great place for our family of 7. Great location.

Great place for our family. Close to RMNP and walking distance to many things in Estes Park. During our stay we just walked across the street to 2 breweries and the Estes Park Aerial Tram. Property was clean, comfortable, and inviting. Property is on the ground floor and single story. Excellent communication with host. Will definitely be coming back again!

Comfortable condo Great location

We were in town for a few days to visit friends and this condo proved to be perfect. Easy to walk to town, and only 1.5 miles from our friends! We found the accommodations clean and comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked, and Jordanne, easy to communicate with. As an added bonus, for this time of the year, the condo was nicely decorated for the holidays! We will definitely keep this condo on our list for future visits.

Perfect Vacation Rental

My wife and I and our grown sons and their wives stayed at this ideally located home in Estes Park. It is only a 5 minute walk to downtown and on a quiet road. There was lots of parking and it is easy to get to. We stayed 4 days and had a wonderful time. The home is very well appointed and is just like the photos. We highly recommend this place for your stay. We hope to be back soon.

Extended Family vacation

Our group had a wonderful stay in Estes Park and this condo was a great location for it! We appreciated the location being within a short walk to town, the Estes Tram and several activities & restaurants. Rocky Mountain National Park is a short drive away as are all other places in Estes if you prefer not to walk. The condo was well supplied with kitchen and bathroom items, games, additional bedding, portable fans, etc. They aren't listed on the site but there was even a toaster, blender, and crock pot in addition to the basics. We prepared several meals while there and found everything we needed.A member of our party has difficulty walking and this condo was a good fit for them with one level from the parking lot, one level inside and a handicap accessible bathroom. We had 7 adults aged from early 20s to over 70 and found that it accommodated us well. We appreciated being able to bring our dog too.The host was friendly & responsive and we would recommend this location for your stay!

Moms trip

Took mom to enjoy the beauty of Colorado. Location was perfect and convenient to all activities. Great views. Herds (12-14) of elk grazing 6 feet from our front door every morning. So clean and cozy!! Jordanne always responded to anything in a matter of minutes. Well stocked with everything we needed. Enjoyed the gas fireplace on the cool mornings.

Perfect Estes and RMNP Getaway

We had such a wonderful time staying at this property with my in-laws. The place was very clean and it was very apparent the owners put so much thought into every little detail. It is within easy walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants in downtown Estes Park, and it also a very short drive to Rocky Mountain National Park. We spent hours playing games around the table (we brought our own but there is a cabinet full of games at the property), and found the kitchen very well-equipped to make breakfast one morning. The hosts are very communicative and helpful - they have an entire binder of suggested things to do and see. We loved both their recommendations for breakfast and dinner. Overall, it was an excellent stay and would definitely recommend this spot!

Excellent location...just a 1/2 mile walk to downtown. The condo is nicely furnished and comes complete with just about everything you could need / want. Owner is very responsive. I would definitely give this a 5 star rating. My only negative is that there is some noise from the people in their bedroom upstairs.

This is our 4th visit to Estes Park, and this was the best rental to date. The house is clean and the kitchen is well stocked. It was quiet. It was so nice to be able to walk to town. The entrance to the PRk was close too. The communication with the hosts was great - prompt and thorough. We hope to return to this rental!

Our new favorite new home away from home!

This VRBO unit was wonderful. We loved this place and the owners are very friendly, helpful, and professional. The unit was very clean, up-to-date, and enough room for 7 adults. The easy entrance for elderly folks was perfect for our moms. We visit Estes Park every Fall for a girl's weekend. We all agreed this is our new favorite place to stay and we will definitely be coming back next Fall! Such a warm and welcoming place to stay. Thank you to the owners! You made our trip so fun and easy.
