"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."

"This house was perfect for our group in nearly every way. The split levels gave each family privacy but allowed us to spend as much time together as we wanted. We all thoroughly enjoyed the surroundings and the views, we really felt like we got the most out of our trip to Colorado by being so surrounded by its natural beauty at all times. The house felt totally private but still close to RMNP and town. It was clean and well appointed, and the 2 interactions I had with staff were easy and professional. We would all happily return!"
