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."

"Our stay at Aspen Brook was perfect! It was conveniently located near RMNP and downtown Estes Park. There was enough room for all 5 of us without feeling on top of each other. The Spice Rack was within walking distance. Def check it out for coffee and pastries. Communications leading up to and during our stay were clear and concise. The check-in and check-out couldn't have been smoother."

Soaring Eagle River - 5 bedroom luxury home on River with Hot Tub

Soaring Eagle River - 5 bedroom luxury home on River with Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent
"The house is spacious, clean, comfortable and has a very attractive location on the banks of the Big Thompson River. The river provided a beautiful view and the soothing noise of running water. It’s the best feature of the property. We enjoyed using the decks that faced the river. Very good hot tub. The property description calls it a “luxury” property. Having stayed in many a VRBO, I think this is a bit of an overstatement. E.g., the dining table has two heavy benches without backs and only two chairs with backs. The main furnishings are clean, functional, but neither new nor stylish. But for the price, it’s a fair value."
