Perfect location, only 20 minutes to the entrance of RMNP which made it super easy to arrive early to beat the crowds. It's also a beautiful drive, the kids were quiet every morning on our trip in as they enjoyed the views and kept their eyes out looking for wildlife, which we saw many elk and deer and marmots.
This place has everything you need and more! It's also one of, if not THE cleanest property we've ever stayed in. There is t a single cobweb or dust to be found. We all loved how honey it felt!! Shelly provided a perfect landing place to rest our tired feet from hiking miles every day. We had plenty of space for a family of 5 and even enjoyed evening dinners with extra family that lives in Colorado. They too enjoyed the short drive from Longmont. We loved the views, breathtaking and you have views from every single room, even the showers!!! I couldn't help but smile as I scrubbed my hair and saw the beautiful mountains. :) She also provides so many blankets, we loved the ample supply to wrap up in as we enjoyed a fire from the deck every evening. A short walk on the property and there is an additional overlook that gives you incredible, wide open views. We spent most of our time in the park, but also went rafting near Ft. Collins and spent time in Estes. Because the location feels remote, but close enough to Estes, you can take trips in to grab groceries, ice cream or visit the shops. We all slept great in the plentiful queen beds, with fans provided in every room. Even on warmer days the home cools down perfectly at night. We enjoyed laying in our beds and seeing the stars from our pillows because the windows are placed just right. I could write a novel about this amazing place, so if you are reading this, book it now, you will be so thankful you did!! It was a vacation we will never forget and we are so grateful for this amazing property!!! THANK YOU!!! We hope to be back again soon!!!
