"I can’t begin to explain the beauty of the property. It is truly heaven to wake up, look out your window and see the mountains! I sat by the river and crocheted. Looking at the gorgeous scenery and hearing the peaceful river is beyond bliss. The place is absolutely gorgeous, spotless, unique, close to town, and has an awesome breakfast. It’s not a matter of if we come back, but when. I don’t know what else to say except you will NOT be disappointed if you book any room in this wonderful...

"Historic Mountainside Cabin At Braeside" Pet friendly.

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the cabin… quiet, clean and a beautiful setting."

Rivendell Log Cabin - walk into RMNP! Continental Divide Views! Large Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"Rivendale was the perfect property for our friend group annual retreat! It was easy to find, accommodating, great views, and perfectly private. Gorgeous house, big hot tub, comfy beds and adequate bedding. The description/listing could be updated as there have been upgrades to furniture etc. and there are more sleeping spaces than what are described. We would highly recommend the property!"

Cabin Retreat • Updated • Rocky Mountain Views • Backs to Rocky Mountain Park!!!

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute small cabin nestled high up on the hill with Great views ! 5 minutes to town and to Rocky Mountain National Park. Sitting on the balcony looking at the mountains was so nice. Had several deer visitors out front as well.Upstairs was a bit small and made for kids.Host was responsive and helpful.Everything you need was available …..just bring the food"

Walk to RMNP, hot tub, mountain views and river access.

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. The house is as-advertised. It would be great for people of all ages, but was especially well-equipped for our group - 4 adults and 5 young kids. We especially enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings after kids went to bed. The location is perfect - a short stop from the YMCA and a short drive to downtown Estes Park and RMNP. We've stayed in Aspen Brook once before. We'll be back again one day soon."
