Lovely view of Longspeak from picture windows. Furnishings were nice, wifi worked good.
Needed some maintenance. A repair list left with property manager. Enjoyed our stay.
Everything was more than expected. The location was gorgeous. The owners thought of every detail and made sure their guests had everything needed to have a wonderful time. Perfect setting for our wedding!
This property is in an excellent location. Itâs only minutes from town, right off the side of the mountain. We took our 3 horses and the accommodations were just as good for them as they were for us. There are great trials to ride or hike up the mountain. The owners were very accommodating and helpful with every situation that we asked about. I would highly recommend this place.
We couldnât have made a better choice for choosing this property. It was everything we hoped for and more. The property was everything as it was described and more. I could have sat on the deck all day and night. Star gazing without trees blocking the view was amazing. Each of us had plenty of space to spread out. I would highly recommend this location to families &/or adults. We did enjoy watching the elk who came by every day. Think he enjoyed watching us also because he made himself comfortable in front of the cabin and stayed all afternoon!!
The Heard's beautiful property was just what our multi-generational family needed to re-connect in these uncertain times. All three cabins were comfortable, but with a deck like this, we spent very little time inside! We had several family members, aged 7 months to 82, including teenage boys, and everyone had the time of their life. A very well-equipped kitchen provided everything we needed to prepare several family meals, and the indoor/outdoor living provided plenty of seating.. Plenty of linens and comfy blankets for cool nights. AND THE VIEW - the pictures do not do it justice. Dan and Kelly were amazing hosts, we will be back! ( And if you have horses, the equine facilities are top notch!)
I wish I could give this property a higher rating but unfortunately this is a renter-beware listing as we had problem after problem with this rental. I should state that I have rented many vrboâs in my familyâs past. This was one of the worst experiences Iâve ever had, and I am a very low maintenance renter.
- first, when you rent this property donât expect youâre actually renting the entire 3 cabins even though the listing indicates it. I rented the property and was told I didnât have access to anything but the main house. I was initially a party of three and went to a party of seven (after requesting approval from the owner for the change in my reservation). Really needed the extra space but was told my rate didnât include the other cabins - even though I paid nearly full price and the same cleaning fee.
- When my daughters and I arrived, I was greeted with a text to say hello to my girls from the owner...who was watching our arrival from the security camera. Not a feeling a mother with two daughters ever wants to feel - unsafe! I never felt safe and like I wasnât being watched the remainder of my visit.
- we were not allowed to use the fireplace even though the listing said it was available.
- there were no sheets on one of the beds which created a fiasco on our first night.
- I was asked which of the rooms I used in the main house so the cleaners would know which to clean. FYI, I expect ALL rooms to be cleaned when I rent a home, whether they were slept in or not.
- I was asked several times to leave a five star review to help their ratings as a new rental.
I am hopeful the owners will get a better handle on this property but I definitely left feeling like I was bait and switched and that I overpaid for what I got.
Enjoy the view, but know what youâre in for.
Had a large family gathering for a week in Colorado. This cabin was great accommodated perfectly. The view is incredible and the deck was amazing. Nice and close to everything yet very private. Saw a bobcat the first day which was neat. Overall great setup for a family stay.
This property was perfect for our family reunion/celebration of life for my mother. The views of Long's Peak are AMAZING! The deck is filled with more than a dozen chairs and plenty of tables. The main cabin provides a large enough gathering space and yet the additional cabins allow for spreading out when desired. Everything was clean and the host and cleaning person were both very responsive to our needs. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was well furnished with everything we needed to cook large meals for the whole family.
Everything about Bella Vista was perfect. Sharon, the property manager, was so communicative and accommodating. The images in the listing don't come close to capturing how beautiful the mountain views are. This was the perfect venue for our micro wedding. <3
My favorite part of the property is the beautiful view of the mountains you can enjoy all day. The main home is perfect for family gatherings and the guest house and mi era cabins are adorable. We all thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
So enjoyed our time at Bella Vista. We were able to bring our dogs and horses with us and truly utilize all the property has to offer. Had a delightful BBQ celebration there the night before our wedding. All our guests loved the property. Our parents, all in their 80s, were able to stay with us. Thank you for helping make our memories so special.
Overall our stay was amazing, we had more than enough room for our two sons and their families. I was a little disappointed that the tub in the small cabin was not operational, but that was a very small thing and did not affect our trip. We made some great memories and hope to come back.
It was a great place to stay. Loved being away from town and the craziness of Estes Park. It is a beautiful location, close to Lily Lake where we went to walk every night and see the moose. Highly recommend it for a family vacation. Enough space to spread out, but still spend time as a family.
We had an absolutely delightful getaway- we loved the location, it's close to the Rocky Mountain National Park & a not too far away drive to Estes, yet still peaceful & in the mountains! We had a herd of elk pass by within 35 yards from the cabin one evening which was super exciting for adults & kids alike! A highlight was the brand new deck with a beautiful view of Longs Peak & Lady Washington. The kitchen is well equipped to cook- during our 7 night stay we only ate out once! The grill works & there's plenty of refrigerator space. Definately recommend!
The deck alone is worth the price of admission. It is new, spacious and has an amazing view of Longs Peak. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for cooking. The beds are very comfortable, equipped with quality linens and plenty of high end pillows. It is secluded but only a short drive to RMNP. I highly recommend Bella Vista.
You will not find a better view of Longs Peak!! Superb location close enough to town for shopping and dining yet out just enough for solitude. 12 acres is a rarity for a getaway rental nowadays and it was a welcomed gift! Communication with the owners was fantastic! Give this one a shot!!!!!!
This is a beautiful property on a large wooded lot with a spectacular view of Longs Peak. We found it clean, well furnished, and well equipped, with a comfortable, rustic feel. It was a relaxing retreat just a short drive from Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Perfect property for 6 adults & 6 kids. Excellent location with great beds.
Cannot imagine a better place for our small family vacation. The big house has plenty of room for all indoor eating and activities. The guest was ideal for parents with infant & the miner's cabin for for kids.

We fell in love with Estes Park in 1994 when we started going to the YMCA with our 4 children. We love the hiking, the wildlife - especially elk and moose - and the amazing blue sky and mountain vistas! We still come many times a year. As long term VRBO hosts of another cabin in Estes, we know what it means to be gracious and elegant.
We looked for years for a special property that would show off the best part of Estes for us - the mountain views. This is absolutely the best view of Longs Peak you can get. And the property is very large at 12 acres so plenty of walking and hanging out space. The location is still convenient with Estes just 15 minutes or less away.
If you hike with your dogs, note that here you are close to Roosevelt National Forest, where dogs are allowed. The best hike close to us where dogs are allowed is the Lilly Mountain Trail, just north of us about 2 miles. Also look in Estes for "Hermit Park" - another popular dog-approved area.
Unusually special view and large deck, vintage quality knotty pine paneling, wood burning fireplace, and cozy kitchen, and amazingly comfortable beds!!!
The summer months have become so crowded in Estes Park you will enjoy being out along highway 7 - with easy access to areas like the Wild Basin entrance to RMNP, the Indian Creek Wilderness area, Eldora Ski Area in the winter and Lilly Lake you will have plenty of options to enjoy the Park and other recreation areas. Aggressive hikers will appreciate a short 10 minute drive to the Longs Peak trailhead and the Twin Sisters trailhead. Great restaurants in Estes and Allenspark are available in the summer and fall. We have enjoyed The Summit View restaurant which is just a mile away, too.
