Beautiful Mountain Location
This property was so cozy and lovely, perfect for our stay! The furniture and beds were very comfortable and the decor was beautiful! The cutest coffee shop is a 4 minute walk, a quick drive into RMNP or to the heart of Estes.

Spacious home in a great location
This home is in a great location and was very spacious and we enjoyed our visit to Rocky Mtn National Park and the town of Estes. However, there were some details in the home that need repair and/or replacement that would make future guests stay more enjoyable. The dresser in the downstairs bedroom replaced, the sheets in the king loft bedroom replaced, the blinds on the slider on the main floor replaced and the oven door repaired so it closes tightly.

Great home and location.
This is a great home, furnished beautifully, and a great location. Our family really enjoyed our trip. There are a few things that need to be addressed specifically with the home, but even though those became an issue for us, they were resolved to our satisfaction at the time. You cannot grill with a propane grill. We have requested that all references to that be removed from the listing, welcome email, and documents left in the home. The oven needs to be repaired, the door won’t stay shut so you can’t plan on cooking in the oven until that’s repaired. Lastly, the washer has a hard time coming out of the rinse and spin cycle without external help, and I’ve also requested that that be repaired. If those issues are addressed, then it would definitely be 5+ stars.

The description of this home was spot on. The only improvement I can see would be to put a new mattress on the king bed in the loft.

Great Weekend Getaway
The property was spotless!! We were very pleased with all the accommodations during our limited stay. This location is very close to downtown area, but not for walking to due to the construction. There was plenty of space and great layout for our family of 4.

Great place!
This property was lovely. It was very clean and had all the kitchen amenities you could ask for. Location was convenient to Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes. Very quiet neighborhood. We even had deer and elk visitors in the yard! Loved having the two bedrooms and bathroom in the basement. The loft bedroom and bathroom area is very nice. My only feedback there would be blinds in the upper living room windows because you had to be very careful about having the lights on up in the bedroom at night. Great place; would definitely stay again!

Our golf get away
This property is well maintained and altho the homes are tightly nestled in this subdivision is has been nicely done. The elk had no problem making themselves very comfortable and enjoy this subdivision as well. The deck has a beautiful view with a comfortable table and chairs for 6. The kitchen is nice to work in with a large island and 2 bar/breakfast stools so guests can visit while food is being prepared. The dishes are nice but the cookware isn't! The grill was unfortunately not available but when it is, it is said to be located on the deck which would be nice to have on the same level as the kitchen. This home has several stairs from the main entry, so keep your coolers and suitcases light. The beds are not the best but you can't beat the mountain air for sleeping. It was nice to be able to use the garage as we had lots of golf clubs and it enters the lower 2 bedrooms at ground level. We've come up for this annual golf tournament for almost 50 years and this is in the top 10 places/ VRBO's we've stayed.

Lovely vacation rental conveniently located near RMNP
My family of four stayed here in June. We had plenty of space for the four of us. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. The property is located near the Beaver Meadows RMNP entrance. It is within walking distance of a local coffee shop and not far from downtown. We had a wonderful time here and would absolutely would love to stay here again.

Cozy quiet stay
Great location and comfortable stay at Estes. We had everything we needed to live comfortably while we were in the Park and we saw wildlife every day we were there. Elk and Deer were a regular presence in the community and we even saw wild turkey. We were there a cooler time of year so no A/C was not a concern. We would definitely stay here again, beautiful property.

A great place to stay
We wanted a nice Christmas family get-away and this was perfect. The grown up kids could stay in their own rooms downstairs with their own bathroom while we enjoyed the upstairs room (very comfortable king sized bed). The living room was perfect for card games or watching tv. We loved the fireplace! We cooked meals and had everything we needed (though a knife sharpener would have been nice). One of the most appreciated things was the use of the garage since we had a solid 7 inches of snow one night! The location is great - close to both town and RMNP and an easy walk to a great coffee shop. The place was very clean and the host was very communicative. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

very nice home
The property was clean, in a great location, and very reasonable given the space for the dollar. I did let management know that the oven needed a little bit of attention, and they were very kind and responded to my text. It really wasn't bad at all.... it just needed a bit of attention. The place was wonderful and we will rent there again.

Nice Stay
The House is Great and Spacious. We were comfortable and had everything that we needed. There is no air conditioning, per the listing, and even in May we opened the windows but know that the unit is off of a busy road and there is a lot of car and truck traffic. The WiFi is also extremely slow if that is important to you. We had two laptops accessing email and internet for restaurant searching so we were not trying to watch movies or do any computer gaming. It was a struggle to get sites to load. Also, bring an eye mask if you are sleeping in the loft because the sun is bright quite early. :-) The kitchen is well stocked with plates, glasses, pots, and pans and the house itself if clean and lovely.

A Mixed Experience with Some Significant Drawbacks
We recently stayed at this Vacasa property with a group of five, including our infant, and while the location and spaciousness of the rental were definite highlights, there were some major issues that affected our overall experience. The Positives: The property's proximity to Estes Park downtown and the entrances to Rocky Mountain National Park was a huge plus for us. It made our trips to town and the park incredibly convenient, which is a big deal when traveling with an infant. The rental itself was spacious, and the view from the balcony is something we really enjoyed—definitely a peaceful spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The Negatives: However, there were several significant drawbacks that future guests should be aware of. First and foremost, if you're planning to work remotely, this might not be the place for you. The WiFi was painfully slow, averaging around 3-5mbps, which made even basic tasks a struggle. The cleanliness of the property was another major issue. It was clear that the cleaning job was very superficial—there was dust everywhere, and we found wrappers, leftover socks, and food particles scattered around. We actually had to vacuum and mop the common areas ourselves, which is not something you want to do on vacation. The kitchen utensils provided were also a disappointment. They were cheap and worn out, to the point where we didn't feel comfortable using them for cooking. If you plan on preparing meals during your stay, I'd recommend looking for another rental or bringing your own cookware. Lastly, the lack of air conditioning meant we had to keep the windows open at night, which we didn't mind at first. However, the main road is very close to the bedroom, and the road noise was quite disruptive, especially with an infant who needs a quieter environment to sleep. Overall: While the location and spaciousness of this rental are strong selling points, the issues with cleanliness, WiFi, and noise made our stay less enjoyable than we had hoped. I would recommend this property only to those who prioritize location and views and are less concerned with working remotely or cooking. For others, especially families with young children or those planning to work during their stay, you might want to explore other options.
