This home was very clean, well furnished and in a nice neighborhood / location. We were very impressed with the number of rutting elk that passed through every day. We hope to stay here again!!
Great place to stay near Rocky Mountain National Park. We thought house was more in the mountains but was in a quite neighborhood with Elk everywhere. We all had a great experience.
A wonderful property and a wonderful location. The house was very clean and the different levels with living areas worked well with our multigenerational family. The best part of our stay was the wildlife! We saw deer, baby deers, elk, baby elk and wild turkeys, all while sitting on our deck! Incredible stay and I would highly recommend this home.

We all enjoyed our staying at the property. It is well built with plenty amenities. It is also clean and in a good location. Property owner was very helpful providing a lot of information about RMNP. Thanks, Sara.
We came as large family: Grandparents, Adult kids, Grandchildren. Large, comfortable home with floor to ceiling windows showing views of the woods and mountains. Elk and deer came through yard as we sat on upper balcony. Neighborhood nice and safe for morning and evening walks. Would recommend.

Beautiful home, very comfortable with nice outdoor space and excellent hot tub too!
This property has all the amenities & great location to all the events going on in Estes Park. We spent a full afternoon with Elk within 20 feet of us in the backyard. The house had excellent space in seperating all families. The hot tub was very relaxing.

The place is exactly as listed! Very large home with lots of gathering places to play games and watch tv. Kitchen was well equipped and the hot tub was perfect!! The bed was extremely comfortable.

The Gathering Place…a wonderful family getaway by all!!!
Our family of 7 adults and an infant enjoyed our stay in this lovely home nestled in the pines with deer and birds to our delight! Comfy and cozy atmosphere with 3 levels of space to play games, watch a movie, or let the stove fire place flames mesmerize you! We stayed in, as the weather didn’t alway much outdoor activity, but the large windows made it feel as if you were
Here with friends for 3 days of fly fishing. Very convenient to good rivers and downtown Estes Park.
The house was very spacious and set up for groups having their own space on different floors.
Owners have the place well equipped and comfortable. They clearly take pride in creating a wonderful environment.
Our stay at the Gathering Place felt like home. Very accommodating for our multi-generational family to spread out, and to gather.The well-equipped kitchen and main living room area are exceptionally awesome, with expansive windows giving us views of the woods, wildlife and mountains. We witnessed elk, deer and turkeys pass through the property every day. Enjoyed the large deck and new grill. The hot tub was an added bonus.Located in a nice, walkable neighborhood, we were a convenient distance from downtown EP and RMNP.Our host, Sara, was very receptive to our needs.We can't wait to return!P.S. Upon your arrival you may be greeted by a bull elk lounging in the front yard. We were!!
Everything was better than We expected. From cleanliness to communication to comfort of the home. We will definitely be be having more family gatherings there
This property was absolutley amazing! Great location. Spacious and clean. Wild life all around. The hot tub was an added bonus. Beds were comfortable. Everyone in our party was flabbergasted on how perfect it was! No one wanted to leave. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
Well equipped kitchen. Appreciated shampoo, conditioner, etc. Appreciated baggies and foil. Ice maker was terrible. No tv in the living room?!?! No garage access.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your review. We appreciate your feedback regarding your stay.
We would like to clarify the features of the property concerning the entertainment areas. The residence includes three distinct living areas, two of which are equipped with large smart televisions for guest enjoyment. We also maintain one living area specifically designed as an electronic-free retreat, offering a tranquil space to appreciate the peaceful mountain scenery.
Regarding property access, the listing clearly indicates that guest access does not include the garage at this time.
We are sorry to hear about the issue with the ice machine. We have scheduled maintenance to inspect and service the unit. Had this concern been brought to my attention the couple of times we chatted on the phone, I would have been glad to provide you with a bag of ice.
We strive to ensure all guests have a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I live in Estes Park and available whenever a guest needs something or has questions.
Everything about this home was ideal! Communication from the time we booked through after our check out was smooth, easy and productive. The house is as described, laid out in such a way that there was plenty of privacy in the multiple bedrooms for when we wanted it - yet also ideal for when we all wanted to be together. We'll definitely return!
The house was perfect for our family and small children. The boys, ages 4 and 3, played outside on the rocks and among the trees. We saw deer through the window every day, as well as turkeys and rabbits.
Great neighborhood to walk in, and the house was great for our extended family.
Would definitely recommend!
Wonderful home for family vacation. Kitchen well stocked, plenty of room to spread out on 3 levels. Linens high quality, enjoyed hot tub, used grill and excellent gas cooktop.
Enjoyed walking in the neighborhood, lots of wildlife.
Appreciated the proximity to the grocery store, Estes park visitor center and Estes Lake. Close to entrance to the Rocky Mt National Park.
Family already talking about visiting again
