The cabin itself was very nice, but could have used another chair in the living room. The location of the cabin was not conducive to strolling the grounds, but that's a very minor consideration when you're only a mile or so from National Park trailheads.

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and well stocked. It got warm during the day, so a window a/c or something would have been nice. The cool nights made up for the minor inconvenience. We will consider this location in the future. The location was handy and close to the national park and Long Peak.

This quaint house sleeps six, but only comfortable seating for two or less. I also believe it needs a deep clean. Great location and accomodating management.

Hiking vacation at RMNP

Can't beat the location of the Lazy R cabins- right on the doorstep of RMNP. Even though it is on the main drag, the location beats all other considerations. The cabin was a perfect base of operations as we headed deep into the Park each day. Communication was good, check-in was smooth, and we were very comfortable. We had a few minor issues with the keypad lock and thought we would have to call for help, but things worked out just fine. Thanks for hosting a great property

Just OK

If you're looking for a place to rest after a day of hiking and exploring, this place meets that description. It's a bit older and obviously has been rented for many years so it's a bit worn and not intended for a luxury stay. Met the mark for a weekend with the boys who are used to tent camping so by that standard it was great but if you're looking to take the wife for a weekend in Estes, throw a few more dollars at it and stay in a more updated place off the road.

Jeff, Thank you for your detailed review, we are glad to hear you enjoyed our place after visiting the national park. We do offer multiple vacation rentals in all sizes and price ranges some more modernized than the rustic cabin feel. We would love to put you in the perfect place in the future.

Nice holiday

This is our second summer visit to the cabins. Both times have been delightful. They are easy and comfortable. The kitchen has the basics. The beds are comfortable. I like the summer camp feel of the place. The location is close to the park. I like having a small grocery store close to the property (Across the highway). The highway in front of the cabins is very busy. This is a bit of detraction. If you want access, it is good, though.
