This was a great property for our large group with a big age range! The big and little kids loved the game room and the adults loved all the space for everyone.
We chose Estes Park area and RMNP last year for our annual family trip. The home is positioned in an area where its short drive and close enough to both RMNP and suburbs; makes it very convenient to see Estes Park, RMNP, and go get forgotten items if needed. Our family of 13 enjoyed our stay there. Cleanlieness, the game room, seperate living areas, and the patio seating was excellent. The front covered porch is lit, and a great place to unwind as the air cooled. We used all of the outdoor spaces as places to unwind and discuss the days activities. The ping pong table also was used A LOT and we all had fun taking turns on it. Everything was clean, the spaces were great, and we loved the home. It is close to the highway, but its down in a low spot and we did not find it being an issue. The view from the porch is awesome and there are no adjacent properties or others around which is a plus. All in all it was a great week for us in Colorado and this place played a role in that great week. 4 star rating on "Accuracy of Online Listing" due to only the room being air conditioned and not the entire home. It was not a real issue though as it cools off enough in the evening to then close up the house during the day to remain cool. Plus there are fans that were used. Thanks for the great hospitality.
This cabin was perfect for my family. It is even cuter than it looks online. There was plenty of table room for our Thanksgiving feast, the kitchen was perfect w two ovens and enough counter space. Every night some were in the hot tub. Ping pong was fun. It was just great. The host, Kevin, was absolutely the nicest and so accommo. Iâd go back today if I could
We had a great stay at Kevin's cabin. Check-in was easy, the house was well equipped with what we needed (some kitchen staples, plenty of cookware, linens and hot-tub towels, etc), and the location near to Lyons and Estes Park was great. The advertised stream was all dried up.. maybe that changes in the spring. Three of the bedrooms are great and what you would expect, but the fourth sits inside of and shares a (lovely) bathroom with the master suite, so that wasn't ideal. But the cabin itself is lovely and the sitting room is fabulous, with a large table for group meals and comfy sofas and ping pong table. And the hot tub was grand. We recommend the property for sure!
We loved our time at the cabin! The property was great to hike around and the cabin was beautiful. We had plenty of room for 6 adults and 4 kids. The owner was very responsive to messages. The ping pong table and shuffler board were huge hits. The kitchen was stocked with everything we need. Easy to drive into both Estes Park and Lyons.
A few things to consider:
(1) This is a rustic cabin in the mountains, not the Ritz. There was a mouse that pretty much lived in the silverware drawer. Several times weâd open the drawer and it was there, one person even pet it. There were some deep ruts in the dirt access road.
(2) There is no AC except in one room. There are no blinds or curtains on any windows except the bathroom. There are fans, but we went in late July and it was very warm. Some people had a hard time sleeping because of heat and light.
(3) One of the bedrooms is only accessible through another bedroom. This wasnât a problem for our group, but it could be for others.
(4) Some things need more upkeep. The hot tub was very cloudy and we had to clean it ourselves to swim. The dryer wasnât working. Even with a small load it would constantly turn off.
(5) This property is listed for sale (we saw it online and featured at a brokers office in Estes). I assume the owner would close after any bookings if under contract. You may even want to buy it!
Overall, itâs a beautiful location that is centrally located to a lot of the front range and RMNP.
Beautiful cabin. We were here for wedding in Lyons and hiking at RMNP. Perfect location. The first floor bedroom worked so well for grandfather. Plenty of space to spread out. It was warm out (90 degrees) but bedrooms cooled down perfectly to sleep at night. Loved being woken to the birds singing. Will stay here again if in area.
Cant say enough great things about this property. Location is incredible. property is extremely well maintained. Host is responsive to all needs. If you are looking for privacy, cool fresh mountain air this is the spot for you. Does not disappoint in the slightest. Kid and adult friendly.
Kevin's house was perfect for our family stay. We loved the house, and wish we would have been able to stay longer. The kids and adults alike loved the game room and exploring outside. We are definitely hoping to come back one day. I would highly recommend staying here.
We had a diverse group of family and friends joining us to celebrate our daughterâs wedding. They came from as far away as Scotland. There was plenty of rom to spread out and wonderful bathrooms to share. The recreation area complete with shuffleboard and ping pong was enjoyed by all. We especially liked breakfast on the front patio. The views were spectacular. We hope to return some day!
Came to Lyons for a family wedding. We were thrilled with the house - it comfortably housed 7 adults and 2 kids. Perfect location. The picture windows into the trees are a delight. The hot tub was a big hit. Iâd stay again in a heartbeat!
The property was perfect for our family. Sitting on the front porch was so relaxing. We even got to see a little wildlife while there which was very exciting for the kids that were with us. Thank you for a great time!
Great time in Estes Park
Like any cabin it had its great point and some down size points as well!
Overall a nice place!
Things that were disappointingâŠ
Thereâs no AC in the bedrooms
We fought mice but to be expected in the mountains
Only one bathroom upstairs for everyone to share
Master guest room had a queen bed was hoping for a king
Very dark not good lighting!
20 minutes away from Estes Park
The grounds were unkept and weeds grownup around the cabin.
Kevin was very responsive and kind
This home was beautiful and well cared for. One bedroom is in another bedroom and itâs probably me but I didnât notice that until we got there. It ended up working well as we were 3 families staying together. Would stay here again with larger group. Playroom was awesome. Grill was great!
The place was great. The only disappointment was that there was only air-conditioning in one end of the house, and the temperature was 100° and it got a little warm at night in some of the bedrooms but otherwise everything was great.
