Check-in was seamless. The property is cozy/authentic, feature rich, super clean and 100% functional. Location is 10/10. Joy is extra friendly and responsive when we had questions. This is my 3rd or 4th VRBO stay in recent years. And, while they've all been positive experiences, this one exceeds by a wide margin.
The cabin was perfect. Very clean and well stocked. We loved the rustic decor throughout. The highlights were the elk and deer that visited numerous times. We did all the touristy stuff this year, (5 minute drive to the lake and 7 minutes to town) but next year we will be relaxing on the deck enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery, and fishing. Thanks for everything!
We had a wonderful time at the cabin! It was the perfect location, just a couple minutes to town. We ate all our meals on the deck which was just lovely. The house was really well stocked with kitchen and bathroom items. Having a washer and dryer was so nice since the accommodations that we went to next didn't have laundry service. Joy was very responsive whenever I had a question. We would love to come back someday!
From the get go, communication was on point. The cabin was well stocked, clean, and cute! Great location within walking distance of Lake Estes and even the downtown area. I think we had one question during our stay and the hosts got back to us immediately. It was a great stay and we highly recommend this cabin! Thanks for helping us make some great family memories!
Absolutely fantastic little cabin. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, but also so close that if you needed that shopping fix it was a 5min drive. Also a short drive to RMNP (roughly 10 minutes). The cabin itself had ABSOLUTELY everything you needed and I have to say it was absolutely the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in!!!! It was a dream. The kitchen had everything you needed and I love that guests are encouraged to share what is in the cupboards, things you might need once or twice but don't have to go to the store to buy! We left a few contributions for the next guests as well! Joy, the host was very communicative, helpful and friendly. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Best VRBO experience we have ever had. Cabin was perfect place to hang our hats during our trip. Rich and Joy were fantastic hosts. Hope to come back again
My wife and I stayed in this cabin for over a week, and absolutely loved our time there. It is located quite near the shops, restaurants and stores of Estes Park, but since it lies on the edge of a forest it is wonderfully quiet during the evening. The view from the living room window is towards an expansive field where we saw a bull elk along with several of his harem. Elk were also seen lying down and gadding about just feet away from our lodging.
The cabin is thoroughly equipped and quite comfortable. The master bedroom has a comfy queen bed and we slept very well after hiking. A bathroom with tub/shower is just a few feet away. The living room is completely furnished and features a wood-burning fireplace, books and table games. The kitchen has all the accessories one might need to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner, including a microwave and dishwasher. There is a table for four adjacent to it. We didn't use a second bedroom that has a bunk bed with double mattresses, one which would delight children. A laundry room with new washer and dryer hosts a second toilet and shower.
This is truly not a cabin, but a fully equipped and functional home.
The hosts of the cabin -- Rich and Joy Harvey -- live right across the road. They are what my wife and I call "good people," meaning they are friendly, unassuming and authentic. They accorded us privacy but extended themselves if we needed them. We came to like them very much and think most anyone would also like them.
Great cabin! Views were phenomenal and the host was very responsive and easy to work with. The split bedroom floor plan was perfect for our teen who liked a little privacy. The cabin had lots of âextrasâ lots of hooks, Safeway membership card, spices etc.
We had the best Christmas break family vaca at this cozy home. It snowed tons and my Texas born and raised kiddos adored the fire and games after playing in the snow.
We have stayed at many VRBO s, and Rich and Joys was the BEST!Home was very comfortable and many extras were included, including fully stocked kitchen. This home was so great, we avoided crowded restaurants and ate many meals here. The view was fantastic and saw many animals! Simply put, BEAUTIFUL!
Glad we checked in before shopping at Safeway... our hosts provided several Keurig coffee flavors, fresh mayo, ketchup, etc. No need to buy many staples for a few days' stay! The mountain cabin was very clean, well-equipped, and located a short drive from town. It took about 15 minutes to reach the Beaver Meadows entry into RMNP. Our hosts were easy to contact and very helpful. We would come back in a hot minute!
Communication with property owners was outstanding. Cabin was nice and clean. Great location. Quiet neighborhood. Stocked with kitchen essentials. Elk and Mule Deer right in the yard was a plus! Would stay hear again.
The cabin was as advertised. Met all of our family's needs. Short drive to downtown Estes Park. Close to hiking trails. Beautiful views from the deck. Owners were very helpful and responsive. Would stay here again.
We cannot say enough great things about the property and the hosts. Joy and Rich went above and beyond for our family and they are the most gracious, kind people. We loved the location of this cozy, well kept cabin. We canât wait to return!
Great and comfortable cabin. Joy and Rich were good hosts and very communicative before, during and after our stay. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cabin!
I cannot think of one negative thing to say about our time spent at Rich and Joyâs cabin. The beds/bedding were beyond comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and the entire cabin was warm and welcoming. We honestly didnât want to leave.
My wife and I are seniors and this cabin was perfect for us! Very easy to access, close to Estes ( 4 minutes), completely furnished-just bring yourself!
B & C
We have vacationed in Estes Park since the 1970's, so when it was time to retire we chose the most beautiful place we know. We live right across the road from our vacation cabin which was recently our home.
Charming, historic forestry service cabin, built in 1945, on 1 acre in a very quiet wooded neighborhood, beautiful mountain view, great for a relaxing vacation yet minutes to Rocky Mountain National Park, downtown, outdoor activities or shopping and restaurants. You choose, an active, 'on-the-go' vacation, close to the Lake Estes trail, or a peaceful, relaxing get-away. This is the perfect setting for either.
Beautiful 'cabin in the woods'; yet still close to town in a residential neighborhood, perfect for a couple or two or family. Pack 'n Play available on request. We have a full kitchen perfect for dining at home, (put dinner in the crockpot while you enjoy the area) or many restaurants to choose from within minutes. Hiking trails or fishing in the Big Thompson just a couple minutes walk from your front door. We will send you contact information when you book your stay and directions and access instructions shortly before your arrival.
