We have considered ourselves so fortunate in renting VRBO homes. We more often than not have had the good fortune to rent good homes that provided everything we needed for a wonderful stay. This home was above and beyond! The views were amazing. The deck was a perfect place for us to gather and enjoy the family and the views which this time of year included elk. The interior is warm and you can feel the comfort and love of family throughout. From the wonderful story of it’s name to the beautiful decorating. It truly made leaving for all our scheduled events difficult. Details unlike any experienced were not neglected…down to the “make up” towels. Nice touches throughout. Last but certainly not least and should be the first actually is Darren. He was so welcoming and so kind. We made our reservations I think a year before and therefore had much communication with him and he never made me feel as if I were disturbing or annoying him. He responded to questions quickly and often offered even more information that he felt would be helpful. I would love to return to “Ann’s Chalet” and enjoy this beautiful home again.

Great location very nice place 6 adults stayed, very comfortable. Great furnishings

This is an impeccable property where every detail for your stay is beautifully provided. The kitchen meets the needs of every chef; the living spaces are comfortable and tasteful; the bathrooms are current and luxe; and the bedrooms are restful and inviting. If I could give a sixth star I would! To top it all off, the communication with our host Darren was thorough, prompt and so friendly. Aside from the great home, the access to RMNP is so easy and beautiful Lily Lake is just a quick hop up the road. If you want the perfect stay in beautiful Estes Park, this is the place you want to reserve!

This property is better than "A Home Away From Home". Perfect place to stay for a family of 8 in Estes Park. From the fresh cut flowers as a greeting to the suggestions by the owner, we had a perfect week wrapped up by our 5K & Half Marathon Vacation Races. Clean, scenic, plenty of space AND 2 washers and dryers. See you again soon!

This vacation home is extraordinary in every way. Darren has thought of every little thing to make your stay feel comfortable, luxurious, and relaxing. He even accommodated us for an extra night when we needed it! It’s minutes from the national park but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Estes Park. It was the perfect place for our family of four to come home to after a day of playing in the park. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space where we sat and were greeted with hummingbirds every day. It’s a dream—just book it!

We had such a lovely time here. The home is beautiful and very well appointed. Our family loved it and we hope to come back sometime.

We loved that the house seemed close to the Beaver Meadows entrance of RMNP. We went for a wedding, but also explored parts of Estes Park and RMNP. Loved how the house provided all your essential needs. It was easy to communicate with the owner. The view was just the best!

My husband and I and our 2 teenage sons recently spent an amazing week at Ann's Chalet. After an 18 hour drive we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers as we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and fresh banana bread for breakfast. The house is immaculately kept and smelled like Christmas and joy. We immediately felt like home. This house has everything you could possibly need, I mean everything!!! I went grocery shopping and loved cooking in their kitchen. They left a variety of spices that made it easy to make tasty meals for the week. The beds are comfy and the heated floors were an unexpected luxury. I truly can't say enough about the level of care they took to make sure that our stay was truly a vacation. This house is even better than the pictures. You are surrounded with gorgeous views of the lake and mountains. We spotted Elk on the first day and enjoyed watched the hummingbirds on the deck. Everything is organized and easy to find and Darren communicated with us throughout our trip. There are just so many little touches that made this one of our most memorable family vacations and it is just a very short drive to Rocky Mountain National park, where we spent most of our days. I wish we could have stayed an extra week or 2!!!!

This property far exceeded our expectations! Stayed for 7 days for our daughters wedding at Wild Basin Lodge, also an awesome experience. I would highly recommend this place to stay, you will not be disappointed. The view from the rear deck is unbelievable. The place is spotless and has everything you could ever need. Will stay here again I'm sure.

This was the best VRBO experience I have had where the pictures and reality matched in every way! The property is immaculate and so comfortable. All of our guests commented on the comfortableness of the beds. The kitchen and bathrooms are excellently stocked and the location is very beautiful and peaceful. We saw deer, elf and wild turkeys from the property. It was a perfect home for our trip!

This house is the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. From spices to pans to laundry soap…they have really thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The house was so clean, beds were comfortable…and that view can’t be beat! Communication was excellent. I can’t recommend this house highly enough. The layout made the trip with our two families perfect. Two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs and the master upstairs. We will be back!

Second time staying here! The home is so clean and it is amazingly cozy. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Estes Park.

This place was amazing! It was not only beautiful but very well equipped!! The owners made it feel like home!! The best VRBO we have ever rented!! I highly recommend this place.

My sisters and I enjoyed every minute of our stay at Ann’s Chalet. From the streamlined, easy check-in to the fully-stocked kitchen and beyond comfortable beds, this was the most amazing VRBO experience have ever had. We loved the bouquet of flowers that greeted us and the gorgeous views from the back deck. Deer and elk would walk by the property daily too. It was the most serene location in Estes, and still just a short drive to downtown. We will definitely be back!

Ann's Chalet was the perfect vacation home away from home for our group of seven, which included two little ones. Darren was great at communicating before and during our visit. His home is lovely and very comfortable and had space for everyone to spread out. It also has beautiful views and we always enjoyed eating meals and drinking our morning coffee out on the deck whenever we could. This house is also the most well-stocked rental I have stayed in and has ample supplies for your stay, including a kitchen with everything you need to make amazing meals. The house was lit and ready for us upon arrival and the bouquet of flowers was a lovely touch. Everyone enjoyed their stay and we plan to return to Ann's Chalet for future visits to Estes and RMNP!

I was beyond impressed with Ann’s Chalet!! From the minute we walked in - we were floored with all the amenities and how NICE the house was decorated!! Also, the kitchen was very well stocked. What a treat to have homemade banana bread made for us upon arrival. Darren was AWESOME to deal with. The view was absolutely beautiful!! We WILL be back!! Thank you Darren for making this such an awesome trip!!

We had a fabulous time in Estes Park with our grown kids, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ann’s Chalet and would definitely stay there again. The views were stunning and the wildlife walking thru each day was incredible to see, even the hummingbirds on the deck. We had a great time hiking in RMNP and enjoyed our evenings in the house and on the deck.

Luxurious, very clean, and spacious. The owners have spared nothing in their ultra modern updates. (4 remodeled bathrooms! 2 new washers and dryers!) Million views from the deck and living room. Every amenity at your fingertips. We have never stayed in a nicer place! Super comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, and very attentive owners. A private oasis, yet close to RMNP and downtown Estes Park.

A beautiful home with great views!

Great property, well maintained, with a beautiful view!! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time at Ann’s Chalet! Darren was a very informative and attentive host. The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed and more. We could tell a lot of care was put into making the home welcoming and accommodating. We especially enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, the deck, and the lovely remodeled bathrooms!

Ann's Chalet was an ideal property for our family vacation to Rocky Mountain National Park. The property is very well appointed and it is very close to the Beaver Meadows entrance station to the park. The deck overlooks Mary's Lake and is very private as there are no views of the neighbors from the deck. It was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee and gathering for drinks after a day of hiking. We will definitely stay at Ann's Chalet on our next trip to Estes Park.

Darren was the ultimate host. Everything that you could think of needing was provided. He provided information on activities to do, grocery stores and restaurants. We spent most of our time out on the deck enjoying the breathtaking view of the Rocky Mountains. Would definitely recommend 10/10!

We stayed at this fabulous property for a family Christmas in Estes. The description and the photos of this property don’t do it justice. I won’t even be able to describe how wonderful it is. We really felt like we were at home. The owners not only have done a wonderful job of maintaining and decorating this home they have made sure anything you would need while staying there minus clothes and food is available. A chef could stay at this home and love this kitchen. The owners are also a fabulous communicators and they did everything they could to ensure we had a wonderful family Christmas in their home. The views are stunning. The neighborhood is so inviting and friendly. Don’t hesitate renting this property. I could write about every fabulous detail but honestly you have to see it for yourself. Five stars aren’t enough this is a ten star property and they are more than super hosts. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. We made so many wonderful memories that my family will cherish forever.

We had an amazing time staying at Ann’s Chalet this October! We were able to watch the Elk grazing right in the field across the street from the amazing deck outside. The house was extremely clean and wonderfully cozy. The place started to feel like home instantly and we hated to leave at the end of our stay. Absolutely beautiful interior with tons of space for us all to relax. Stop looking for a place in Estes Park and book this one immediately!

This was the perfect place to stay with the perfect host. The house was comfortable, clean and well located, with great views. And the extra touches to welcome us were most appreciated.

The property was the perfect setting to show off Colorado to our Illinois family. The accommodations were superb, fully equipped and very comfortable for a carefree week. The morning sunrises and evening sunsets were inspiring. Darren was an amazing host, providing helpful information and insight into local attractions to help us plan our week. We were greeted with special welcoming touches beyond our expectations. Thank you for helping us make lasting memories. We will definitely be back!

Our family road tripped out to Estes Park for a family vacation and to visit our oldest daughter’s boyfriend, who is a park ranger at RMNP. There was room for all of us in this beautiful home. We hiked, rafted, shopped, and visited breweries while on vacation. The rental was a close drive to everything we visited in Estes Park. We had all of the comforts of home and everything we needed to create meals each day. We had a lovely stay at Ann’s Chalet.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. Amenities are very nice, location is great, and it was a perfect atmosphere for a family vacation.

Working with the home owner was great We loved the location, beautiful view of the mountains. The home was spotless Our favorite location was sitting on The deck enjoy the views. We can’t wait to return!

This was the best VRBO that we have ever stayed in. The views from the back deck were spectacular. The house was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and comfortable. Darren was such a nice host. I highly recommend this home if you ever stay in Estes Park, away from the crowds but close to downtown and RMNP. I can't say enough! June 28, 2021

This house is the perfect vacation spot! From the moment we walked in and saw the breath taking view, til the the day we had to leave...we felt right at home. The house was immaculate and everything we needed to make ourselves at home was already there!! We will definitely be back!
