Great location and well-managed
My family spent a weekend at this house. We really enjoyed the location. We walked from the house to downtown easily. It's a pretty steep hill to downtown, so be aware of that if you have physical limitations. There is a staircase, but not sure whose property it is. House is clean and well managed. No ridiculous check-out tasks!

Nell's House
We have been renting cabins/homes in Estes Park since 2009 while I exhibit my art work at the Memorial Day and Labor Day art shows in Bond Park. We stayed at Maybell’s cabin previously, but this was the first time we stayed at Nell’s. Our daughter’s family from Battlement Mesa, CO joined us, and it was a full house with adults and grandkids. The house is within walking distance of Bond Park which allowed Jean to sleep in while I went to work selling art. The hot tub was great after a day on your feet. Nell’s house was built in 1909 and additions have been made. The grandkids liked exploring where all the doors led. The drawer pulls, cabinet latches and “pass thru” bedrooms reminded me of the house I grew up in. If you plan to stay, bring a couple electrical adapters to make 2-prong outlets accept 3-prong devices. Otherwise, the place is up to date with contemporary conveniences.

Prime Location
This property is in the heart of Estes Park. It is easy to walk to and around the town. The house is spacious. The hot tub is like new and very nice. Many of the furnishing were worn and/or broken. It appeared to be furnished with odds and ends or recycled items. Wall decorations adhere to the wall via thumbtacks. Advertised fans make a lot of noise. The noise was problematic at night. I enjoyed my stay; however, due to the lack of polish on the interior I would not return to this house.

Estes Park Property
The location of this place was incredible. The beds are just fine. However, the fuse went out and we couldn't find the breaker. Because of this, we couldn't use the stove or the microwave for our final day. The hot tub was a bit dirty. I'm not sure if the filter was broken or what so we only went in once. That being said, everything else was amazing. The deck is incredible. The view outside each morning made it a great stay. And the location is fantastic.

Cute and quirky, perfect location!
This place was great. It’s an older cabin, right off the main streets in Estes, and it had everything we needed to feel safe and to have a place to relax and to be close to the city. The only concerning thing was the flooring in front bathroom and kitchen—it wasn’t level and our toddler had a rough time with it. Provided laundry was a huge bonus, the deck and the hot tub were great. We couldn’t turn on the hot tub and they came immediately to fix it. We would love to be able to stay here again.

Nell’s Cabin was the perfect place for us to stay in Estes Park, with lots of room, accommodations and peace and serenity just a few steps away from the heart of downtown. We saw elk grazing just down the street from us! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back!

Great views, great location.
This property is great for a family that may be doing different activities. Having it so close to downtown was a perk, the views were great. The kitchen is a little rough and not very inviting, but the rest of the cabin was just what we needed. The second bathroom had a shower that was so small no one in our party could fit in it, but the master shower was fine, and we all used that.
Overall great time and experience.

Great Location, Spotlessly Clean
The property is a charming 1960's vacation home that hasn't been updated much but is spotlessly clean. There are newer shower enclosures. The decks and views are great, and it's a short walk down a hill to the center of town. The master BR is great; the others are small with twin beds but comfy.

The cabin was large and roomy, very comfortable for 6. The twin beds could use new mattresses, would be fine for kids but was a little uncomfortable for our old bones. The sleep number was great once we found our number. Beautiful view and a short walk to town made it a very plesent stay.

Family vacation
We loved this house! We stayed here with our family of 5 plus 2 grandparents and it was perfect for our family. This cabin is close to RMNP and less than a 1/10 of a mile from Main Street downtown. We used the private stairs to walk down several nights. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen and made meals at home and enjoyed relaxing in the large living room after hiking during the day. This was a perfect fit for our family and a good value. We loved it and would stay here again!

So close to Rocky Mountain National Park
If you want to enjoy Rocky Mountain National Park, then one place to stay is in Estes Park. Estes Park is a cute, but a little busy, town that is only 10 minutes from the park entrance. From this location, you can walk down (and then up again--tough at 7500 feet) some stairs from the cabin to the town. There is a communal jacuzzi for the cabins that we used several times during our stay (great after a long hike). There is a communal washer and dryer that is shared amongst the cabins on the property. This was a great cabin to stay at. Please note that there is not a dishwasher on the property. Also, please be careful on the deck. There are some loose railings, splintering wood and exposed nails out there. So, we never went out there barefoot. We did enjoy seeing Elk, Marmot, and bunny rabbits run around our cabin periodically. Lastly, my security deposit was returned in a timely manner by the owners which was great to see!!
