Cozy A-Frame! 2 Bedroom 1 Bath Close to YMCA and RMNP- Dogs OK!

10/10 Excellent
"This cozy A-frame was the perfect basecamp and it was so close to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. The kitchen had everything we needed to easily cook all our meals at home, which made the trip feel so relaxed. The setting is beautiful and surrounded by nature. We got to spot wild turkeys, deer, chipmunks, and even a couple of bears right nearby! Huge thanks to the property manager for being so responsive and easy to communicate with. We truly enjoyed every minute."
