We had a wonderful stay at the Owl’s Nest in Estes Park.The house was immaculate. Linens were plentiful and of excellent quality. The kitchen was very well equipped. We cooked all our meals. Location was exactly what we wanted…a short walk to Main Street, although a little harder on the return uphill! Our hosts were easyto get in touch with and very accommodating. We would definitely stay again.

This was probably our favorite place we’ve stayed at in Estes Park over the years. The location was within easy walking distance of downtown. The house was stocked well enough that we had everything needed to cook our Thanksgiving dinner. Plus, it had more than enough space and beds to accommodate my family of five. Absolutely amazing!

Even better than expected. You can tell great care was taken in the renovation of this property. Everything is fresh and supplies (kitchen, bath, linens, etc.) are high-quality and abundant. The view of the mountains is a joy to wake up to. And the convenience of being able to easily walk to the Main Street far outweighs the short hike back up the hill after enjoying a wonderful meal downtown. Plus the park entrances are 10 minutes away. The host was very helpful before and during our stay. No question, this is one of our top VRBO experiences.
Such a nice view looking from the front deck to the Rockies.
A view from the living area.
Our first night, we ran into this guy at the downtown bookstore, thinking he was stuffed. He wasn't :)
The home is larger than it looks in the VRBO pic.

Awesome stay, felt like home. House was walking distance to shops (just be ready for a little hike up hill) Also, was SO well stocked with everything you could need. Rented other places before that had nothing, so this was wonderful! Great spot for us and our 3 kids (12,12 &10) Kids LOVED having tv's in their rooms and lots of streaming tv options to relax with after long day of hiking in RMNP! Awesome stay

A wonderful cottage with a great location

This cottage was perfect for our small family reunion! We cooked a lot in the well-stocked kitchen and loved eating on the front deck. One evening we had a great view of many elk! The location allows for quick access to RMNP, and Estes Park shops are just a quick walk away. We hope to return to the Owl’s Nest!
