Really great home for 3 couples to get away. Magical views, especially at sunset. This home is also away from the tourists! Only downside - quiet hours start at 7pm. Not a huge deal for us as we were up early hiking. But the neighbors complained when we were in the hot tub chatting over a beer at 7:30pm.

The home is lovely and everything inside and outside the home as perfect as the pictures reveal. It was a good size home for our group and very comfortable . It is also within a 7-10 minute ride to town which was extremely convenient. After a long day of hiking, there is nothing better than to jump into a jacuzzi to relax those sore muscles. The outside deck offers a fire pit to relax and enjoy the wonderful mountain view

The property was amazing! We spent lots of time on the patio enjoying the views, hot tub, and watching the bunnies play in the yard. The home was clean and spacious. We went in July and the weather was hot during the day and cooled down at night. The kitchen was well appointed and the restrooms were nicely stocked. It was a quick drive to town, and we enjoyed the Tram, horseback riding and UTV riding. We would stay here again definitely!

We loved our stay! The house was exactly as pictured and the views from the deck were fantastic. It was close to Estes Park city center and to the RMNP entrance. Great experience!

Everything about the rental was just as advertised. Large amount of space for my family of 5 adults. Views are gorgeous from the deck, but really everywhere you look is beautiful. Very easy route from house to Estes, all areas of RMNP, other scenic areas, and of course to and from the Denver airport. Everything seemed clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Used the hot tub a couple of nights with no problem. Nice to look at the stars above. Quiet hours didn't really affect us since we were up and out very early everyday so we weren't necessarily up past10/11 each night anyway. All of the directions provided for entry were accurate and easy. Any time I reached out to the manager prior to the visit and once during, they were very responsive. Definitely recommend this home as long as the quiet hours would not impact your type of stay. Everything was great. Photos of the property is exactly what you get. Everything was in good condition and well maintained.
