Staff was almost impossible to find. Coffee only in the lobby was rarely made. Not one time in 4 days were we offered towels or anything for our room. The best thing about that place was the view.

It was a beautiful location, though the day we arrived there was no running water. It came back on at night. Though next day the water was gone again. So if you’re planning a trip, just be mindful of the possibility of not having running water.

No cell service and spotty wifi. Poorly maintained gravel road and parking lot. The groundskeeper weed whacked a rock into my windshield and cracked it — I had to get it fully replaced and they refused to discount my stay by even one penny. There are 50 better places to book in the Estes Park area. Will not be staying here again.

We were visiting our daughter who was working at a camp down the road, and landed at the Dao House. We stayed in the lodge, which was beautiful. Our room had a door to a shared balcony and hummingbirds were everywhere. We had 2 queen beds for my family, and the room arrangement worked really well for the four of us (2 teens). Everything was very clean and the staff was beyond helpful. We went horseback riding at Elkhorn stables on the property, which made for a great afternoon. My hubby and kids enjoyed tennis and basketball on site, and we took advantage of the books and games down the hall. Although they don't really offer breakfast, we were pleasantly surprised to find they had muffins along with the tea and coffee. We had stopped by Safeway in Estes Park for milk, cereal, oatmeal, etc. We were able to keep perishables in the community mini fridge and heat what we needed in the microwave. Some of the cabins looked like they could use a fresh coat of paint, but the property was beautiful and relaxing and a wonderful get away. We would stay there again.
