Quite well cared for property. A lot of stairs which would not be suitable for older guests, but fine for family.

My wife and two small children accompanied me on this trip to Estes Park. I cannot say enough good things about this host. While we were there we had a few questions, and the host was incredibly responsive and timely. The cabin had all that we needed, and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway in Estes Park. The views were also amazing as well as the wildlife!

Pinecone cottage is about 5 minutes to the Park and about 5 minutes to downtown Estes. There is a great view from the deck and we saw deer and heard elk bugling! The cottage was very clean. The owners let us a large welcome basket and thoughtfully supplied drinking water (the cottage has well water that is slightly yellow but doesn’t have any off taste). Overall, a very nice stay!

This was the best VRBO we ever booked. Location was perfect right outside Estes on a hill with mountain views. Cabin was clean, everything worked, and our host Janet provided great coffee and snacks. The road to RMNP was down the street. Loved having coffee in the morning and cocktails at night on the deck. Elk and deer passed right through the property. We cannot say enough good things about this property, our trip and the host!

We are friends that take a trip together each year. I’ve been to Estes Park many times and this is the first time at this cabin. I would rent it again in a heartbeat. It was clean, well equipped, spacious, and comfortable. It’s a quick drive to town and to RMNP. The owners were very helpful and honest about access. There are stone steps from parking up to a regular staircase. If you have mobility issues this could be a bit difficult, but they show this in property description so it wasn’t a surprise. The views are fabulous and we spent mornings and evenings on the large deck. Pay close attention to the directions the first time getting to the house. After that it’s a breeze. Perfect getaway in the mountains.

We had a wonderful time at the Pinecone Cottage. It was very close to the entrance to the national park and to Estes Park. The cottage was very clean and the perfect size for our family of four. It had everything that we needed. I would definitely recommend staying here!
