Fantastic stay

This place has it all. Gary is a fantastic host and always available for questions or concerns. Location is fantastic for Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes. Entertainment center set-up is insane. My family loves this place and we hope to be back. Gary is always available but I think the best thing I can say is that we didn’t need him because everything you need is already there with excellent instructions. Can’t recommend any higher.

Great place to be in Estes...in the snow!

This place was cozy, well-appointed, and a perfect place to watch the snow, hang out, cook and enjoy the area. We saw deer several times, enjoyed the hot tub, and ventured out into Rocky Mountain National Park a couple of times!

The house was perfect-we were to have 10 guests but four were unable to join us due to school and work commitments. My nephew was able to join us so we did have a group of 7, 3 of which had never visited Colorado including my youngest grandson, age 17. The younger folks loved the hot tub and used it at least 3 times. As far as the kitchen, I've never rented a home or condo that was as stocked with everything you could possibly need. The home was clean and lacked for nothing. We also enjoy having several game nights as the owners have lots of games to choose from. Thank you for everything! This home was perfect and I hope to return in the next year of so with my folks who couldn't come along last week and we will definitely look at staying at this home once again.

We have stayed in this home twice in the past year. It fits our family perfectly. The house is so comfortable and homey with everything you need to fix family meals and is also the most stocked home I’ve ever stayed at. The location is also wonderful.
