Although estetically pleasing, this high priced home was definately worth it. When I spend this much money to rent a VRBO, I expect things to be in good working order and at least the bed to be comfortabe. The master bedroom was a wreck. Lumpy and overused bed topper, broken shower handle, no plug for the oversized tub. Bathroom dirtu, urine behind toilet lid, overall highly disappiinted.

Our family, adults and three teens, thoroughly enjoyed our Estes Park vacation at this property. Great, quiet location, amenities, open floor plan, wild animal viewing, fishing in the river, walks to the store/ice cream and close to RMNP entrance. Highly recommend!

Beautiful ranch style cabin with privacy and close proximity to Estes. Loved the layout, hot tub, great kitchen, and wood burning fireplace. Definitely looking forward to staying here again!

House was large and very equipped with things you needed or might have forgotten to bring.
We saw mule deer , elk and turkey nearby.
Quiet area. We were comfortable.
Recommend better vacuum for cleaning and thorough dusting for cobwebs in house.

This home is AMAZING!
We had elk in the back yard and direct access to Thompson River.

This beautiful cabin is tucked in the middle of this amazing property. We had elk visit us every evening while we were sitting on the beautiful porch overlooking the property. We really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub star gazing every night. We were close to estes park and close to the rocky mountain national park entrance. I will be going back and staying at this beautiful home again next year!!

This is a beautiful property with all the amenities you need. Stayed here with my husband and 1 year old son, and both sets of grandparents. Adequate space, clean, and an abundance of wildlife viewings from the huge picture windows. Great location to the park, while being private and quiet! Highly recommend.

It was good wish there was more communication about things happening in town like special events. House is great but the biting bugs at the property this year made sitting by the river impossible.

This property is top notch. Very clean, cleaning staff happen to be still working. Very thoughtful couple and they did a good job of preparing the home for us. No problems.

Lovely and spacious. We were in Estes Park for a family wedding and this property was comfortable for all.

Our week in this property was wonderful.

We would definitely stay here again. Our son was getting married at the Landings of Estes Park and we could walk to and from there with ease. The home was beautiful, comfortable and perfect for the week. We cooked several meals and had what we needed. Being situated on the river was beautiful and we enjoyed many moments relaxing on the chairs provided. The elk didn’t disappoint and walked through the property a couple times. We rent vacation homes often and this was one of the best. And Estes Park is a quaint town with shops and great restaurants. Honestly perfect week!

This log home offers the perfect accommodations for enjoying all that Estes Park and RMNP have to offer. Come home from a day of hiking and relax in the hot tub! Take a short stroll to the riverbank and sit and read a book or have your morning coffee while you listen to the water roll by. Wonderful! Clean and comfortable bedrooms and baths. The kitchen is well appointed and stocked with all of what you need for cookware and supplies. The check in process could be made easier for guests with the addition of a keypad on the door so you don't have to stop by the property manager's office to pick up and drop off keys. The only thing we noticed that could use attention (and I'm sure it will be addressed) is that we had very slow drainage in the primary bathroom sinks, which made them almost unusable during our stay. Other than that, I'd say this place is perfect. We'd love to return. Thanks for an awesome get away!
4.8
The house was a great location for easy access to Estes or to hiking in RMNP. Comfortable and nice layout for a be small family get away The river was a big selling point for us but actually a little too buggy and raging to be fun and safe for kids to play near, and the kitchen is not as user friendly as we'd have liked, but all in all a great stay.

The property was amazing! The property manager responded in a quick fashion and took care of our needs. We will stay here everytime!

The home is as listed, beautiful inside, would have preferred more mowed area to access stream. The property had an extra propane bottle which was fantastic when the original ran out. Highly recommend!

Stunning home
This property is stunning. It served all of our needs! It is gorgeous and very spacious. It is close to town and close to Rocky Mountain National Park. There is a nice little store close by also which was very convenient! The Mountain Views are limited but being able to enjoy a drink or cup of coffee right by the river was very enjoyable. We got to see elk and deer right
out the big beautiful window of this stunning home. The nice big table and lovely granite island were great for serving family meals. We also enjoyed being able to sit out and watch the elk from the lovely covered back patio with nice table and chairs. We loved this home and the location!

This house was the perfect home base for our family, as we enjoyed exploring RMNP and downtown Estes Park. The house had all the nessesities, as well as the constant sound of the river and daily visits from some friendly elk. What a beautiful place!

We loved our stay here so much! It has just the right amount of space with the three bedrooms. And the laundry/mud room was big enough to put our sons pack in play in where he had his own space as well! Some things to bring if you are able to would be baking sheets as there were none, and extra towels. The hall bathroom only had 2 for both of the guest rooms. We had to wash towels daily but luckily we had brought beach towels for the hot tub. They could also fix the sinks in the bathrooms as they did not drain very well. There was some really tall grass when we arrived but it got mowed halfway through our stay just around the house itself. Overall, we had a great stay at the Forest Glen! We loved being in a private area with a hot tub and a house big enough for our whole family.

Fun Family vacation
The house is beautiful on the inside. We did a lot of cooking due to the spacious kitchen, pots and pans. The house is in a great location, 6 minutes from the town of Estes and 20 minutes from the Rocky National State Park. I do have a few suggestions, please clean the grill before next guest arrive, my husband and boys spent a hour taking the grill apart and cleaning several pieces so the grill would work. Maybe mow a small path from the house to the stream. We understand why you don't mow the property due to the Elk that come daily to feed, Our last morning in the house, there was 20 Elk walking around the front and back of the house.. We will definitely rent this property again.
