"Historic Mountainside Cabin At Braeside" Pet friendly.

10/10 Excellent
"Braeside is a very nice, built well, authentic log cabin, perfect for 2. We have been visiting Estes Park every year in the fall, for over 30 years. This cabin was the cleanest and cozy so far! Well equipped, firm bed, and beautiful scenery. Quiet neighborhood with many opportunities to see wildlife. When we arrived, a cow Elk and her baby were laying under the tree, outside the bathroom window to greet us!"

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."
