Quick Estes trip

We really enjoyed the hottub on the deck after driving all day. Thought the place was easy to find and was very clean. Cute rooms, perfect size for 2 of us and a dog. By far, though, the best feature was the great access to the beautiful creek in back. The only hiccup was out of the owner's control and that was a loud neighhbor. We would definitely come back .

quick trip

It was a cute place and clean but it could use some things in the kitchen like filters for the coffee pot, maybe some foil, salt and pepper. But overall a cute place for a quick stay and it was easy to find and the communication with the host was easy and quick responses.

Canyon River

The canyon river cabin was right on the road outside of Estes Park. It had cute rustic decorations, a full kitchen and a great porch to enjoy right by the river. Perfect for our evening after Rocky Mountain National Park.

Quiet, peaceful beautiful place to stay. I loved staying in the river and listening to it during the night. The cabin was very neat and clean. I also like the fact it was out of town a little bit got away from the crowded areas. We would go back and stay there again.

Amazing stay and fly fishing!

We loved our time spent at this cabin! Very clean, perfectly stocked for 2, and great fly fishing out back (on private property—so no one else was there). Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend getaway!

Beautiful location

This was the perfect location regarding nature and proximity to Estes Park and the RMNP. Quiet and serene with a few furry neighbors that would visit for a meal. I'm referring to the beautiful Elk we saw on multiple occassions off our balcony. We would definitely come back!

Nice but overpriced

Lovely cabin right on the river. For the price, though, we were disappointed by: not enough gas in grill to cook hot dogs only two forks in the kitchen? no "one pager" explaining how to access wifi, TV or cooling fans no extra blanket for cool evening temps

Perfect getaway!

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this little cottage in the mountains, even closer to Estes than we imagined but still far enough away that you can have peace and quiet. I loved how cozy it was and the hot tub was really nice! And that view was to die for! I loved that we had the option to cook meals there if we wanted to too! Loved this place definitely recommend!!!

Wonderfully relaxing

Our three night stay was wonderful. Communication from owner was great and check in check out was easy. The location was perfect. Close to nature and only two miles to Estes park. Traffic noise was not bad as I mostly heard the moving water of the big Thompson out back. Great cabin for fly fishing and easy access hiking in Roosevelt national forest. Cabin is small and quant but enough room for two to move around. The hot tub was amazing and thr stars on a clear night are perfect

Great stay!Lovely location right on the river. Daily elk visitors were amazing. Property was as advertised and clean. Location is right next to the highway but the sound of the river made this less noticeable. Back deck on the river is very calming. Owner communication was prompt.There are some things to know before you go. We rent VRBO’s for two main reasons: to be able to cook our own meals and have our fur babies with us. - The kitchen: only includes the bare minimum. One fork, one pan, no large bowls, no larger knives, no filters for the coffee maker, not stocked with essentials like foil or simple spices. If you plan on cooking, bring what you need or you will have to be very creative- Furniture: Outside chairs are there but falling apart. Inside couch and chairs not comfortable. We used the pillows from the couch to make sitting outside or at the kitchen table more comfortable- Water: has a strange taste. We bought water for our cooking and consumption needs. - Cleaning supplies: all that is there is dish soap. Nothing to really clean with. No sponge/scrubber, sink cleaner, vacuum, etc. - Internet: very weak- TV: it’s all streaming so almost impossible to watch- Crazy neighbor across the river: she spends a lot of the day staring and swearing loudly at you if you are outside. All in all, it was a good stay. Just a little less relaxing with some of the challenges.

Perfect getaway!

We are from Greeley and just came up for the night. We went downtown Estes for dinner then came back to the room. We sat in the hot tub under a completely clear sky! We could see every star! The sound of the river is very calming. We did contact the owner. He got back to us in a matter of minutes! Very easy process and a great night away. We will be back!

Cozy Rustic Cottage

We truly enjoyed our stay in Rustic Charm. Owners Wendy and Kevin were very responsive to the few things we needed addressing (TV setting, paper products). Charming farmhouse decor. On the whole it was very clean however the overhead fan and lights over the food prep area needed dusting. We stayed a week and I cleaned them myself given I have allergies. The back porch overlooking the Big Thompson River was perfection! We would return. Great value given comparatives in Estes Park.

Our topsy turvy stay at Coles Cabins

Our stay at your cabin was not a comfortable time. With the current times it's hard to save money and get time off to take a vacation and relax from the everyday hustle and bustle of our lives.First of all, we didn't have two full days having to arrive at 4 pm and depart at 11am.Upon arrival we found the cabin hadnt been cleaned, wads of hair in bathroom shower & elsewhere. The jacuzzi water was dirty & cloudy. Old outdated bedding & mattress, with trash underneath it, my husband got bedbug bites. Partial lighting throughout cabin, no outdoor front light, glad we brought our flashlights! The smoke alarm kept going off during the night screaming FIRE! No latch for safety on back sliding door. Dirty bath towels. Few extremely outdated kitchen cooking pans & few super flimsy utensils. Lastly, The permanent neighbors across the river appear to be severely mentally challenged. They began yelling and screaming profanities every time we would go out to the deck to do anything, a very weird and uncomfortable situation.Because of these unacceptable disappointing experiences, we requested a refund for our stay and the rude owners scoffed and got angry at my husband.The pleasant description that is listed on your website is incorrect and misleading, far from what we experienced. I'd send some of the photos we took while there but they won't load. (We didnt get to take photos of the troubles, except the bedbug bites, bc my husband cleaned up before I even thought to take them.)
