Comfortable cabin. Beautiful river view. 5 minute drive to Beaver Point entrance to the park. Wonderful restaurant within walking distance. Only downside was the shower which had extremely poor water pressure. We ended up just doing a quick sponge bath. Everything else was great and super convenient for park access.

Jennifer, thank you so much for staying with us and are so pleased with our location! Just an FYI, the guest staying immediately after you reported a problem with the shower pressure. We've replaced the shower head (it was the culprit) with a brand new one, and are pleased to report that everything is working wonderfully again!

Great location near RNMP entrance. We stayed in cabin#1 which was by the road- some traffic noise. Excellent quality mattress, linens,towels. Cheap paper products- would bring your own toilet paper. Significant crack under outside door- hopefully fixed by owner after our stay. Also shower very poor pressure- hopefully fixed as well. Kitchenette very adequate for 4 -day stay. Didn’t use TV- DVD option would have been nice. Limited times to contact owner/housekeeping but responsive to text during that time. Would definitely stay again if door and shower fixed.

We really did like it here! It was affordable and had everything we needed. The cabin wasn’t perfect, but it was perfect for us. The only downside was the water pressure in the shower needs some attention, it’s a trickle at best. The location was great, far enough from the hustle and bustle of downtown but close enough for a few minute drive to town. The property is also across the road from the Rocky Mountain Tavern, which has amazing food and drinks!

Cabin itself was ok. A typical old rustic cabin; and super conveniently located. Close to the national park, restaurants, the town! Now, there does seem to be some sort of miscommunication between Expedia and the actual cabin hosts - on Expedia and via email j was told I’d get check in instructions 24 hours before check in. I also spoke with the property via Expedia chat and was told I’d get my check in instructions “shortly” (this was a day before check in). I realized later I never got them. What I did get, despite asking for early check-in, was a text at 11:22 the day of, asking me for my CC info. I was driving and kind of in the middle of nowhere with limited service and by the time I arrived at my destination my phone died shortly after and I wasn’t in a place to call someone and give them my cc info (there was a lot of other people), then my phone died. By the time I finished my tour, it was 5:45. I went to my car, charged my phone got a text saying I wasn’t gonna get my check in info and that they had closed at 5:30. I panicked and called and after 2x of calling they picked up. The guy who picked up was rude and not friendly at all. He said “none else had this issue before,” well Karen, since when is everyone the same? Anyways he was super rude and I just read him the number so he would stop being rude. I got back that night pretty late, I noticed the cabin was FREEZING. UNBEARABLE. FOR 3 nights I suffered and I even had to buy a 40$ sweater!!! I want to write more..

Maria, we enjoyed hosting you and communicating with you over the course of many days. It was our pleasure to grant you an early check in as well as a late check out, as per your request. Given our many conversations together, we are admittedly surprised at your unfavorable review. We had wholeheartedly accepted your apology for your outburst upon arrival to the property — you took the time to explain your ongoing issues with us and we understand that people go through difficulties. We always want our place to be one of peace and tranquility — we don’t ever want our check in procedures to trigger anxiety. Each and every day, we receive excellent feedback from guests regarding our easy and convenient check in process, and we are proud to continue to offer this. We do require an incidental credit card on file for guests who pre-pay through a third party booking channel, prior to entry into a lodging unit. This is just in case anything is damaged, which we hope you can understand. Wishing you much joy in life!

We regret that you didn't enjoy your one-night stay with us, Grant. In looking at your reservation, I see that you booked our economy cabin last minute. That particular cabin just turned 100 years old. It does offer quirky, unique details that some of our guests return for year after year. Regrettably, it just wasn't a good fit for you. All that aside, we wish you the best!

This property is very convenient if you plan on going to Rocky Mountain National Park. Our cabin was very clean and we enjoyed having two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen has a full size fridge, but the sink didn't work right. The kitchenette could definitely use some updating. It was ok for making a few tiny things but I wouldn't want to try to cook a full meal with those appliances. The showers were exceptionally tiny. We are not large people, but found ourselves barely able to turn around without accidentally bumping the shower knob. The property is close to the river, but there isn't anywhere to sit out there. There is, however, a little porch outside of every unit with chairs to sit. The staff texted me every morning asking if there was anything we needed. Overall, we had a good experience.
