Beautiful property - Felt right at home

This property is perfection. It accommodated 6 adults very comfortably. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The house was very clean and everything we needed for our stay was provided. We sat at the patio table every morning drinking our coffee and enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake and mountains and in the evenings, watched the elk take a swim in the lake. Upon arrival, we met the hosts and they are truly kind and genuine people. I felt right at home and can’t think of one thing that would need to be improved upon.

Lovely Antler View Retreat

Antler View Retreat is blessed! Lovely girlfriend weekend to enjoy amazing views while visiting. The immaculate clean accommodations with comfortable beds and new LR furnishings made for a restfully retreat. Excellent location on Lake Estes, walking distance to town visitor center and lake activities. So so very grateful for the breakfast items provided by gracious. I appreciate the excellent property management communication with timely response time! Would love to stay again! Hopeful the unit will have its own private washer dryer next time. It would make Antler View Retreat the perfect Lake Estes home away from home for longer stays with family.

This is not a house!

This is a very lovely, clean basement apartment with a wonderful view and the owners live upstairs. There is a washer and dryer in their part of the house. As long as you are comfortable with having owners onsite this is a wonderful place to stay, but when we booked the listing was very unclear about the situation. There is also no A/C but it stays relatively comfortable with the dry climate.

Wonderful place!

This is an absolutely beautiful home that is right on the lake, as pictured! The inside is immaculate, modern, light, and well stocked. It feels brand new. Beds were very comfortable. We had everything needed and more. The owners were very kind. It was a lovely place to spend 9 nights! We have to admit, however, that we didn't understand what the "B&B" aspect of the listing meant. Perhaps in our naivety, we thought breakfast was dropped off on certain days or something--we really didn't think twice about it. So we were surprised when we arrived and realized that the rental is just the downstairs portion of the large house you see in the pictures of the listing. We had just assumed that we were renting a full house. Perhaps most other people know this is what "B&B" means, which is why we don't want to subtract from the overall rating. But for those, like us, who wouldn't realize they aren't getting a full house to themselves (especially for the money), we feel the listing should state this explicitly. We would not have rented if we had known this was the case. To be clear, it has nothing to do with the owners--they were wonderful. But we have 3 teens who can be quite loud and it felt like we spent the week telling them to keep their voices down, etc. We could also hear people upstairs. So it felt more like staying in a very luxurious downstairs apartment than renting a house. Again, the house is gorgeous. We just think the listing should be more clear.

Breathtaking Views

The house is simply stunning. Very clean, location and views are unmatched in Estes Park. We were traveling for my daughter's national softball tournament and wanted to stay in the mountains. The hosts were very kind people. Our only issue was the listing included washer and dryer. This was very important for us traveling with 2 kids and 4 adults for a week and also given we had softball games every day with dirty/smelly clothes. We also live in TX and traveled two days to get there with hopes of being able to do our laundry upon arrival. There is a washer and dryer on the property, but they are located in the owner's home above the downstairs appt/suite. I may have missed that somewhere in the listing, but we are very private people and did not appreciate paying so much and not having our own access to washer and dryer as promised. I would not have booked a property without it. I felt very uncomfortable with the entire situation and having to go up into their home to do our laundry. I did voice my concerns to management, but was not offered any money back. At this price point, I don't think that is good business. There was a washer/dryer hook-up in the master bath, so hopefully they are planning on installing prior to hosting any further guests. Aside from the laundry issue, the property has direct access to the lake and there are many activities for children/families at the marina a short distance away. We couldn't get enough of the mountain views.

Wonderful stay for our family near Rocky Mountain National Park

The location, stay and hosts were perfect for our Rocky Mountain National Park vacation. Everything was set up perfectly for guests (bath supplies, kitchen items, luggage racks) and was like staying in a high-end hotel, but with plenty of room for our family. The showers were hot with good pressure, and the bedding/linens were comfortable. The unit was cleaned to perfection. You can tell there is a professional touch all around in how this VBRO is managed. The hosts communicated well and were super helpful when we had a touch of altitude sickness after a hike. We really appreciated the coffee, juice and breakfast items. We didn't have to shop or stop for breakfast, so we could be out the door for a hike the first morning! The unit is in a lovely location with a perfect view for that morning coffee or afternoon drink on the patio with the friendly hummingbirds. We grabbed some delicious Thai takeout and enjoyed a dinner on the patio because we wanted to have a nice meal with a view! The location provides easy access to both east entrances of RMNP, downtown Estes, Stanley Hotel and plenty of restaurants/shopping. There's no shortage of things to do it the area. We wished we had planned to stay longer! Thank you hosts!

Wonderful home - wonderful hosts

We spent 7 nights at this wonderful retreat at Estes Lake. The home was very comfortable, spacious, well furnished, and nicely decorated. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting the hosts, Eunice and Jim. Hope to come back and would definitely select this home again. Close to town for dinners and strolling downtown. The highlight of course was the hiking in RMNP.. We hiked every day and got a timed entry ticket for 8-10 am entry.
