We chose to stay in Allenspark to avoid the crowds and hassles of Estes Park, but still be close to RMNP. We were very happy with our decision and this cabin was a major reason. It was extremely clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and stocked with some basics. Ie. salt, pepper, coffee, tea, napkins, etc. The location was good, neighborhood was quite. Front porch swing was perfect for relaxing. And if you want to hike, travel a half mile up the road and you are in Roosevelt National Forest with some scenic hiking trails.
