Wendy Cottages, (TOUJOURS) la grande pêche, terrasse privée et bain à remous

Wendy's Cottage (Ever After) was a very comfortable cabin with an amazing back porch view overlooking a beautiful mountain river, complete with the sounds of water rushing over rocks and vistas of mountains in the distance. It was very conveniently located within minutes of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Other reviewers mention the highway "noise", but it did not seem very loud and was more than compensated by the location of the cabin along this small highway running through a gorge. It was not isolated, but certainly did not feel crowded by the surrounding properties. It was also wonderful having a hot tub on the back porch. The only downside was that it was very small and had no convenient space to leave an open suitcase. The host, Wendy, was wonderful and very gracious, answering all my questions when I contacted her. I would stay there again.

Awesome! Wendy is great!

The Ever After cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to cook and just lounge around. Although there was traffic noise during the day, the white noise of the river made our stay very restful. The bed was exceptional. I have a bad lower back, but the bed and pillows were so good that I slept better there than in any hotel we have ever stayed and we travel a lot! We kept the windows open and fell asleep to the sound of the river. We sat on the deck both morning and evening enjoying our surroundings and the wildlife visits. The first evening we looked up from our reading and discovered an elk about 40 yards from us. She left the river and grazed for about half an hour. The next morning, we saw either a black mink or river otter diving in the river and then running over the rocks just upstream. Of course, we were always seeing the ground squirrels, hummingbirds, a few trout, and then 2 deer visited the river just before we left. On Hwy 34 and near the cabin, we saw both big horn sheep and several mountain goats on 2 different occasions. Although the cabin has close neighbors both next door and across the river, neither we nor the wildlife found it obtrusive. Estes Park with its many restaurants, movie theater and stores is just a very few minutes away. There is a nice Safeway too. This cabin is really meant for a couple and it was perfect for us. We didn't watch much t.v., but we did enjoy having the internet.

I hope we can return some day!

Amazing cabin, location and views! Home away from home. We will definitely be back in the near future!

My husband and I decided to go to Estes Park Co for our 23rd Wedding Anniversary. We picked this cabin for the location. We loved that it was right on the water and only about 5 min drive to Estes Park. The Hot tub was very private with 3 of the 4 sides secluded. We could not see the other cabins but could see some homes across the river. It was well kept but small. We had 3 bags total between us and had a hard time finding a place to put them. One we kept in the Living area so we could walk around the bed but we were okay with that. They have a place to hang clothes but no hangers. Plenty of linens and towels. We did not use the grill but it was on the outside deck. Had a full size fridge, stove and microwave which we utilized to cook breakfast most mornings. parking was limited but we only had one car so suited us well but was fairly full each night. The complex is right off of the hwy but we did not find the road noise to be a problem. We spent several nights here and highly recommend it.
