Our family loved this rental. We had 3 rentals while visiting RMNP, and this was our favorite. We stayed in Estes, then Grand Lake, and spent our last two nights here so we would be closer to the airport when we left. I’m so glad we did. The cabin was so cute and perfect for our needs. There were hummingbirds everywhere! We sat on the porch and watched them zoom around and eat from the feeders when we returned in the afternoons. We were also able to visit some very nice sights in the area we probably wouldn’t have if we hadn’t stayed here. It wasn’t too far to also drive back into RMNP, which we did our last day of vacation. I definitely recommend this cabin.

Beautiful Cabin!

My family of 4 throughly enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is close to Rocky Mountain National park. There was plenty of room for us to spread out after a day of exploring. It was nice to sit on the front porch and watch the hummingbirds.

The Pinecone Palace was the perfect getaway for our family. It was close enough to town to be convenient but far enough to feel like we really had space to relax. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed to cook a few meals as well. We had fun exploring the property a bit and enjoyed the proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park as well. We would absolutely stay here agin if we ever return to the area.

Amazing location.

The location was wonderful. The property was beautiful and functional. Our family came from out of town to attend a wedding and stayed for almost a week.The owner/manager was very responsive before and during our stay. We would definitely consider booking again in the future.

Mountain Life

We absolutely loved stay at this location! The house was very spacious, comfortable and clean. We also saw plenty of wildlife, deer, turkey, squirrels and rams ( maybe it was called something else, but it had horns like a ram). We would definitely stay here again when in the Lyons area!

The Pinecone Palace Performed Perfectly!

We loved staying here! The home was very cozy, well appointed, and had everything we needed. The owner/manager was very responsive before and during our stay. We had a huge snowstorm that turned the place into a winter wonderland. We were in town for a wedding but didn’t want to leave the house! I would definitely recommend this home.

The property is very nice. It's updated and gorgeous inside and out. There is a nice view from the deck and plenty of area to park. Unfortunately, there was a burn ban while we were there, so we could not have any fires at all. We had been looking forward to sitting around the fire pit at night. With that said there is plenty to do otherwise. We went hiking 2 days in RMNP and spent another day shopping in Estes Park. Be aware though, this house is secluded. You're about 15-20 minutes from Lyons and 30-40 from Estes Park. If seclusion is what you're looking for, than this is the place.

Cabin in the mountains! Erik’s pinecone palace is a wonderful place to getaway. Three very large bed rooms, with very comfortable beds, large showers and a claw foot tub. A wraparound porch with a wonderful view of the mountains. You can hear the stream running in the distance, it’s that quiet. The kitchen is very large and spacious. Games available if that’s your thing. Ceiling fans move the summer air. We were ther when the high for the day in Lyons was 93 and had to close the windows at night because it got too cool. Perfect size for three couples plus kids.

Family Tie

Our family of 6 - all adults- had a wonderful stay at Pinecone Palace. The cabin was as photographed. Beds slept great. Everything worked. Plenty of space for us to be together and to spread out. We hiked in RMNP and Roosevelt. Spent time in Lyons - do your main grocery shopping in Longmont. The road up was very rutted, but our minivan did fine. We had a wonderful time!
