"Overall, it's a nice place. Beds are comfy, the unit is clean, and the surroundings were quiet. The only issue I have is the couch. It was like sitting on a rock. Not at all comfortable. I really wish they had kept the previous couch, as it was very comfortable. This new couch is rigid and too hard."

"Rustic 2 bedroom cabin. It was clean. The bedrooms were comfortable. Bathroom adequate. Kitchen area was clean but poorly supplied example 1 cereal bowl, eating utensils were old and limited. Kitchen table scratched and had to be from the 1960's. Living area furniture was poor, the futon was so uncomfortable to sit on, can't image what it would be like to sleep on. The recliner chairs were so old the plastic on them crumbled on your clothes and on the floor. Despite this I would return, as the area was convenient and peaceful. Every morning a flock of turkeys would pass by. Also the restaurant is in walking distance from the cabin."

"Large and well furnished living space, comfortable bed, good wifi, well-equipped kitchen/dining area, and very reasonable price for Estes park. Situated on a lovely stream minutes away from Elkhorn Drive and the city center. The cabin is "rustic", meaning it is well maintained and very clean but not modern, which appeals in some ways but not others. Shower is modern with good showerhead and immediate hot water and good flow. Large refrigerator, nice stove and oven, large dining table overlooking the stream, full set of dishes and utensils. Great for a week stay like ours, although we were gone all day each day and ate out for all meals. Windows are old but open adequately. No AC so can get warm during hot days but several ceiling fans and cool nights keep it in check. No central heat, but floor base heaters in all three rooms work well. Cabins are located in a quieter part of town, but there are several restaurants close by as well as groceries and gas stations and amusements. The RMNP Beaver Meadows Entrance is a hop, skip, and a jump close by. Off-site management is very responsive to requests and questions, on-site service is available on request and very helpful."
