The Good: The size and space of the property fit our 4 adults with room to spare. Location to the park and town was perfect. Listening to the river was very relaxing. We were blessed with a visit from a couple elk in the evening. Getting to hear him bugle was a nice treat.The Bad: This unit has not had any simple and common upgrades to the kitchen setup. The coffee maker must be a least 10 years old - the carafe spills when pouring, you can not pull it out without spilling coffee everywhere and it does not turn off by itself. The pans look like they have been purchased from someone's yard sale and then have been in the unit for years. Toaster only toasts on one side. The dishwasher does not open the door to let out the detergent turning the wash cycle. Furniture: the couch is very uncomfortable, the cushions slid out constantly. There is only 4 places to sit and nowhere to stretch out. The master bed is ok but squeaks every time you move. The sheets were mismatched and very cheap quality. The outdoor furniture is a joke the 2 chairs had rips in the seat fabric making them unusable. Would I stay here again? No, there are so many other properties to choose from and for the price you pay to stay here it is not worth it. But, if they would do some basic upgrades it would be worth a second look.

Great location. The creek was great to have in the backyard. Easy access to RMNP. I'd give it a 9/10. Floors were a little dirty when we checked in and we had to mop them. Overall, great stay, and would stay there again.

Great location

Excellent location. Very close to shopping, dining, entertainment and RMNP. River off the back deck was very nice. We saw deer every morning and evening. One thing to note is that the king sized bed is upstairs, not downstairs in the primary. There are only 2 tvs in the unit. One in the living room and one in the primary.

Really more like 4.5. Loved the location - easy drives to both RMNP entrance and downtown. Also really like how close it was to the river. As stated in previous reviews, some minor things broken/missing that make you think “why wouldn’t they just fix/update this…”It was nice that they provided paper towels, tissues, shampoo/conditioner, and little mini soaps. The neighborhood is quiet and well-kept, and we saw lots of wildlife while we were there. Would definitely stay here again.

I would choose somewhere else...

The condo is very nice on the inside. Some small items need to be repaired. There is no air conditioning so you must open the windows for ventilation on the warmer days. We happened to have one of those warmer days and the interior was quite warm. A few windows are unable to open due to damaged latches. Overall, very comfortable place. My biggest issue is the patio. You are right by a beautiful stream and would love to spend a lot of time out there, but the furniture is minimal and dirty, and the grill is an outright lie. The listing stated it had a grill, it even pictured it. If you are on a long road trip you might want to not eat in yet another restaurant and I wanted to grill up a nice meal. What we found was a rusted out hulk, with a broken igniter and not even a gas tank installed. I started reading reviews and this was reported repeatedly going back several years. I cannot fathom how you can advertise a grill yet you know darn well it is not functional for several years. That is misleading enough for me to not recommend this place. There are too many wonderful options nearby. Spend some time and money making the repairs to this place that are reported in the reviews and you just might have a charming place on your hands.

Nice location

The unit was advertised for having a grill, called to get the tank filled. Come to find out the grill is just for show, it was broken. I was disappointed with the condition of the place for the price point of the unit. The walls in the kitchen were dirty, and walls going up the stairs looks like it had 20 yrs of bags banged against them. The amenities/appliances provide were bare bones. For me it was the coffee pot, old pot and the carafe was not the correct one for the maker. You would pull out the carafe and the coffee would run all over the counter. Something like buying the correct carafe for the brew station says a lot about the rental owner/ management. You can tell this has been a rental for a long while. Nice location to town though.

Fabulous vacation condo!!

This condo was in an excellent location, just steps from the flowing Big Thompson river, with beautiful views, a peaceful setting that was very roomy, well decorated, and perfect for an hour family of 6. Its location is less than five minutes from downtown Estes Park, which has some fabulous restaurants, lots of activities for kids, shopping, and beautiful views of the mountains. We would definitely rent it again. The property management staff was exceptional!

We were in town for a wedding staying three nights. It met our needs perfectly with 4 adults and 2 children. It was everything we hoped for and more. The location is wonderful, the home was clean, and the beds were comfortable. The stream out back had a trail to walk on and was very relaxing to sit at the chairs and drink your coffee. It will definitely go back.
