A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This is the first bed and breakfast (at the time) that we ever visited. Since then, the place has changed hands several times. On our last visit, we were left without towels and soap. They were prompt to correct the situation but seriously? There are no more amenities like breakfast either at the main house nor in the room. I guess it's just easier to cut it out completely rather than retain some semblance of a cozy resort. They maintain the property well so the paths are clear albeit poorly lit. The path light right outside of our cabin was knocked off of its base and laying in the snow. No one seemed to notice or care except us. I picked it up and reattached it to the base. It worked fine so instead of walking by it, why not take some pride in the property and screw the lid back on? The final disappointment was the kitchette sink. It was clogged with coffee grounds. The staff knew about it but wasn't going to do anything until asked.”
“This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck and enjoying the view. Everything was very clean and stocked with extra toiletries and kitchen supplies. The bed was absolutely comfortable, the shower worked great and it was very spacious.We will definitely be coming back again.”
“Amazing place to stay! Very clean, location was very close to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park! Hot tub was an added bonus and pet friendly! Would definitely stay here stay again! Hosts were very accommodating and helpful.”
“The location was perfect - super close to Rocky Mountain National Park and just minutes from restaurants and shops in Estes Park. The staff was incredibly kind and responsive, and they added thoughtful touches that made our stay feel special. We really appreciated their hospitality and how welcoming they were throughout our trip.”
“We had an amazing stay for our 11th anniversary. We stayed with them for our 2nd anniversary the first time and just had to go back. They offer other romance packages as well that tou can add to your stay. We got the same cabin as last time (#4) which is also dog friendly and we love that. The cabin was clean and comfortable and so so private. It has a full size hot tub in the room, a fire place and kitchenette. A king size bed and full bathroom. We love the privacy and waking up to seeing all the wildlife that walks through the property. We will definitely be back for our next anniversary”
