The location was wonderful (close to RMNP and Estes Park) and the property was clean. The property had everything that we needed. The owner was prompt in all communication and responses to questions. I most enjoyed the views from the living and dining room. I rated it 4 stars for 2 reasons. We arrived on Monday Jan 1 and the 2 extra large trash cans in the garage were overflowing with trash from the previous occupants. By Tuesday the trash odor could be smelled in the bottom level of the home and continued until trash pick up on Thursday. The owners communicated that we were responsible for taking the trashcans to the curb for trash pick up. I asked about the overflowing trash cans and the owners requested that we do our best to close the trashcans so that the animals would not get into the trash (if they did we would be assessed a fine). I don't mind dealing with my own trash but I do not like having to handle and be responsible for other people's trash. The previous occupants left patio furniture outside on the deck (the house instructions say to move all of the patio furniture into the enclosed porch). We did not use or move any of the patio furniture. When I asked about leaving the patio furniture as it was when we arrived, I was told that it needed to be moved to the enclosed porch. I did not like having to be responsible for the previous occupants' failure to comply with the house rules.

House on the Rocks was inviting and cozy. It provided all the amenities that we were looking for a Christmas/Graduation celebration. The hosts were so kind, had great communication, and check-in, and check-out were easy. The views were amazing, and the house is in a convenient location. we made many wonderful memories while staying here!

Everything was like the comfort of home! We were overly excited with the herd of Elk that just hung around the neighborhood our week stay. We also got our wish come true… we got a foot of SNOW! WOW the Mountains in their most beautiful form! What a wonderful stay we had!

We loved our stay in this nice home. Clean, definitely plenty of space, great views, fun places to go and great hiking near by.

The "On The Rocks" estate is a cabin built in the 90s, and it certainly looks the part. But don't let that deter you! This property is wonderfully clean, charmingly decorated, and spacey enough to house a small army. This cabin has a perfect view of the mountains toward the South Side of the park, and you'll see plenty of wildlife wandering through the yard during your stay. It's a breezy 5 minute drive from the cabin to the park entrance. The hosts are very friendly and communicative - we really appreciated all of their helpful tips, activity suggestions, and comprehensive cabin instructions! The heating and cooling are a little fickle, as the air is released via baseboard radiators that are scattered around the cabin, but once we got used to it, we were able to properly control the temperature. I highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed to cook meals, it was so nice to have a good gathering space for family, the proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park was fantastic, and downtown Estes Park was great too. The mountain views were phenomenal and the wildlife was really fun to watch. It was a bit difficult to cool the house down on hot days, but I think we picked a really hot week to go. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay. Will recommend to friends and family.

Great home for our needs and family. Thanks again

This was a beautiful and clean house. The views were amazing - the photos online don't do it justice. Really incredible. We did a lot of long hikes starting early in the morning. Then we returned to the house and relaxed and rested weary feet in the afternoons watching the "summer monsoons" pass across the peaks which was pretty magical.The location was perfect - just minutes from one of the park entrance station which made it easier on those early morning "timed entry" passes. There is a small grocery store just down the hill too, so it was easy to pick up supplies and cook our own meals and buy hiking food for our daypacks. We loved this place and would definitely recommend it. Communication with the owners was very clear and easy.

Aaron, Heidi, and Ed were great hosts and easy to work with. The check-in process was a breeze, the location of the house was tremendous, and the views of the Rocky Mountains were great from sunrise to sundown. The house was spacious, easily able to accommodate our party of 5, and the grill made for some great afternoon grilling after a long day of hiking. The only thing we were concerned about was the lack of air conditioning but by strategically opening the windows to get a cool breeze and closing the shades during the hottest parts of the day we were able to cool down the house to our liking. Thanks, Aaron, Heidi, and Ed for letting our group use their house to explore Colorado and have a memorable vacation!

Amazing place ! Location was perfect!

Our stay was fabulous. The house was exactly as advertised. We had a group of ten and had a wonderful time. The proximity to the the city and the park made the location great.

We really enjoy staying at On the Rocks at Estes Park. Aaron was very helpful throughout the stay providing detailed directions and info. The view in the morning while having breakfast is just amazing. We are avid hikers and the fact that the Rocky Mountain ranger station was just 6-7 minutes away was really helpful for the adult kids to maximize their sleep. All the amenities were great. Thanks a lot, Aaron.

We give a big shout out to our hosts Ed, Aaron & Heidi for this wonderful VBRO. The home is a great location to the entry point of the Rocky Mountain National Park and close drive to the city of Estes Park. This home has all the immensities of home, plenty of beds, 2 full baths, full kitchen stocked with all the utensils to cook. And wow, what a panoramic view of the Rockies from the living and dinning rooms. We hung out on the deck alot with the same views of the Rockies. This was our second time at this VBRO and we were not disappointed. Thanks for the great vacation experience and a the break from everyday routine....it was worth it!

Property manager was available for all questions.

Hosts were easy and excellent communicators. A great house in a great location. If it is available when we come again, it will definitely be a Repeat for us.

This place was great for my friends and I. We stayed here for spring break so that we could hit a lot of trails. This place was only 15-20 min from a lot of the trail heads within the Rocky Mountain National Park. Ran into no issues with the place. Only weird thing, which was trivial, was the link between the TVs in the bedrooms. My friend and I turned on our tv in one room and it also turned on the tv in the room where another one of my friends was sleeping. I then went in and turned that tv off but my friend who was sleeping later came in and said that his tv was back on.

Beautiful views, comfy atmosphere and beds, very responsive owner. Disappointed in the TV service - not the mainstream channels available. Loved the ability to build a fire in the fireplace.

We had 2 families from out of town come to enjoy this house for a week. The house is perfectly sized for 2 families with kids. It was well stocked with everything we could need! The views from the porch and the windows were amazing!! We had lots of animal visitors which the kids loved. The house is super close to the park, groceries, restaurants and downtown. The location was absolutely perfect. The owners were wonderful and communicated well through the whole trip and booking. I cannot recommend this house enough for you RMNP and Estes Park vacation!!

wonderful setting and great accommodations. rooms were nice and kitchen was great for what we needed. Deck was fabulous. would have liked to have ESPN

This is a great place to stay! Easy check in, and great communication. The property was just as described, and we all had plenty of room. It is a great location just outside the south Rocky Mountain park entrance. Town is right down the road within a few minutes, and I will definitely stay here again.

Close proximity to everything; great views of RMNP; plenty of space for our group of 7; large deck to enjoy scenery

Absolute gorgeous location with old time charm & the BEST views of the Rocky's. Property owners were very friendly & accommodating. Highly recommend this VRBO!

My family and I loved our time at this house. The kitchen was amply supplied for the 8 of us. The house was clean. The view of the mountains and proximity to the park can’t be beat. We’d be happy to stay here again :).

The size and location were just what we wanted and the views and wildlife were awesome.

This place was big enough for the large group we went with for everyone to be comfy for the full week. Would stay here again if given the option!

We have stayed at the cabin on the rocks for many years and look forward to returning every year. The views are incredible and we are often greeted by the wildlife during our morning cup of coffee. Aaron, Ed, and Heidi are gracious hosts and have always made us feel welcome during our annual mountain retreat. We recommend this mountain getaway to anyone who wants to relax and recharge in beautiful Estes Park.

We had a wonderful and peaceful time in Estes Park, the house is in the Best location to see the Rocky Mountains and very close to town. I will definitely recommend this place.

Great views, Great location. We Love Estes Park.

We stayed as a family at the Cabin on the Rocks over spring break 2022 and every single member of my family enjoyed everything the well stocked cabin had to offer from the spaciousness right down to the high quality towels everyone had only good things to say about our weeklong stay. I myself thought it was a wonderful place for a family to stay and enjoy everything the area has to offer . I hope we can return sometime soon to this beautiful, well kept home . Thank you to our wonderful hosts !

Our family of 10 has celebrated Christmas together for the past 10 years at House on the Rocks. The house is very comfortable for all of us, feels like home, and the view of the mountains is spectacular. The Acela family are great hosts, very attentive and accommodating to our needs. We highly recommend their house as a vacation destination in Estes Park.

My husband an I loved our stay at this Beautiful home, Gorgeous views from the deck..Beautiful Mountains, Beautiful home. We had another couple visit for one night.
