The only downside was that it was near the highway. The river sounds almost drowned out the sound, but not quite. Nobody's fault, and it was overall great. The Rocky Mountain Park was truly spectacular, and surrounding hikes were remarkable! ##### Welman S. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie G. 1 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, convenient location This is a cozy mountain cottage in a great location. We made breakfast every morning and a couple of dinners and had everything that we needed in the kitchen. It was lovely sleeping with the window open and listening to the river outside. The neighbors were extremely friendly, giving my husband advice about where to catch fish in the river. As stated in other reviews, getting in and out is "mountain challenging" but we had no problems with our Toyota 4Runner. The uneven dirt driveway would probably be an issue for a car without ground clearance. The location was a perfect distance to Estes Park- far enough out of the city to get away from the madness of a busy weekend and relax and unwind, but close enough to be convenient. ##### Marie G.

It was great to come back from hiking and be able to relax by the water, drink coffee, and read. We used the kitchen and the grill on deck overlooking water.

A bit surprised by a September snow storm but it was so beautiful no one minded. Being so close to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park is a plus.

Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie S. 4 Jul 2018 #### Absolutely Refreshing The cabin was perfect for our family of three. We would return to the cabin after spending the days hiking, white water rafting, shopping, and sightseeing. My husband and I would sit on the porch and watch our 15 year old son fly fish until it was dark. The cabin was tranquil and relaxing. Driving to RMNP or town was easy and quick. ##### Leslie S.

It was just outside of town, but far enough away to stay away from the town life. The sound of the river flowing was very soothing in the mornings with a cup of coffee on the deck. It also came furnished with just about everything a person could ask for. The owners are very responsive to all and any concerns and /or questions that you may have. ##### Anthony W.

We were able to cook up simple breakfasts before heading out for a days worth of hiking and was a welcome retreat for evenings on the deck sitting riverside, relaxing, and enjoying beverages while recapping the spectacular RMNP experiences of the day. This simple, quaint, and rustic property was EXACTLY what we were looking for! Thank you Seashell for being part of such a memorable vacation :) ##### Amy S.

Sit on the deck and listen to the sound of cascading water. Make sure your vehicle is midsize or smaller because parking is tight. ##### Bryan M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas M. 19 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing stay One of the cleanest properties I've stayed at. We loved waking up near the river with great coffee that our host left for our stay. Quick 10 minute drive into Estes Park and right near the RMNP. Janet (our host) went above & beyond to ensure the property was super clean and Covid-19 safe. We also had a super unique experience in that our cabin was evacuated due to closeby forest fires. Janet was so quick to text us and move us, free of charge to her bigger Cabin on the other side of Estes. She drove 2 hours at 6pm to get to the cabin, spent 2 hours cleaning for us to move in. You can get much better service than this! Thanks for a wonderful, memorable time! Tom ##### Thomas M.

Saw an elk right across the river. Only complaint was that the one bed was way too hard. Other than that loved it. ##### De M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Garrett L. 10 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First time to the mountains. This was our first time visiting the Rocky mountains and it won't be our last. The cabin was in a great location and everything was in nice working order. ##### Garrett L.

Nice rustic cabin on river. Convenient to Estes Park and RMNP and short scenic hour drives to Boulder and Ft. Collins. Beds and amenities were nice. The emphasis on conserving water was a little concerning but not a problem as only evenings/overnight were spent at cabin. The sight and sound of river was relaxing for sitting on deck and sleeping but immediate access to the river catered more to adults rather than kids for fishing. The information was accurate. Anything larger than a Ford Explorer would not fit in drive and would be difficult to maneuver from highway to property and back. ##### Steven S.

Everything went smoothly. Lots of communication with owner. There is a sharp turn to enter the property, but the location is amazing. We were soothed to sleep every night by the sound of the river, and enjoyed our coffee in the morning to the view of the river. It was even closer to Estes Park and RMNP than I expected, but far enough from the city to enjoy the peace and quiet. It fit 2 adults and 2 young (10 and 7) children perfectly. Over all we had an amazing time and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. ##### Bret W.

This was a perfect place for our trip. Close to Estes and RMNP, yet far from the crowds. Loved the sounds of the river and spending the evenings on the deck. Bring your fishing gear! ##### Jerry O.

Located on the river. Only 2-3 miles from Estes Park. Owners were easy to get in touch with. Would definitely stay here again. ##### lanny f.

The owners were very responsive. There are two small bedrooms with what seemed to be double beds (not sure). The kitchen had all the basic needs covered. We were surprised to find bottled water in the fridge and some snacks on the counter. The porch was nice and had two comfortable lounge chairs that weren’t visible in the listing. My husband loved fly fishing in the river at the end of the day, though the fishing was better in some other nearby areas. . ##### Verified traveller ---
