We will definitely rent this place again and recommend it to friends. Communication with the host was extremely easy — probably the easiest I’ve ever experienced. The views are terrific, the house is great, and the location is perfect. It feels nicely secluded from town, but it’s still very close and convenient.

I can’t say enough about this home and the owner. We loved every second of our stay here. The views were incredible. Everything we needed was there, ready to go. It was far enough outside Estes to feel like we were outside the general population but close enough to get there in 10 minutes. I was trying to figure out how to move in. Great size home for the group we brought. Clean! We loved it. And Leah was an incredible host. We texted a few times during our stay. She was so helpful with the home and area. Highly recommend for your family’s stay in Estes Park.

This is one of the very best properties we have ever stayed in. Location was perfect for us, near enough to Estes park to easily get to shopping, restaurants, and shopping, but quiet and private. Very clean, cleverly decorated, great kitchen, and stunning view of Long’s Peak and Rocky Mountain national park.
