"All worked out. Initially there wasn't anyone at office to check us in. They said they contacted us by phone,but we didn't receive. I think if we would have received the message, there wouldn't have been an issue upon our arrival. Once checked in, all was good Very close to RMNP and to the town of Estes Park. Very pleasant setting with stream and Aspen trees. Would stay again and would certainly recommend to others."

"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.
