Great family base camp for RMNP!

This house was so clean, well-stocked and super close to RMNP! Perfect for our family of 5 (kids ages 10-16.)For being as close as it is to the park and town we found it super quiet, comfortable and it had the space and everything our family of 5 needed to relax after hiking. The location of the neighborhood on the creek is perfection - I just wish we had more time there. Will definitely try to find this place next time we make it out to the area!

Incredible property!

Unbelievable stay in Estes Park, right near the entrance to RMNP. It was our first time staying here, but the new host has definitely given this place some love. Everything was in immaculate condition, with new living room furniture as well. The location is unbeatable and we even had two large elk grazing outside of the front door one morning. This is a great spot for a family vacation with a fantastic host. Highly recommend, would definitely stay here again!

Estes Park Family/Friends Fun

We loved this property in EP. Gorgeous setting. Mountain view. Babbling brook. It was perfect for us - 2 kids/4 adults. Close to RMNP and Estes Park so easy access wherever we wanted to go. I would stay there again definitely. Host very communicative which is great also.

Perfect family or friend cabin

Great location to walking trails, RMNP, EstesPark area. This cabin was clean, provided basic necessities as well as other amenities for a stress-free stay. Loved the sound of stream sitting on deck or just opening the windows. This host is available, dependable and appreciated for status, needs etc.

Amazing Mountain Stay

If you’re looking for a place to stay in Estes Park, this is it! With gorgeous mountain views, access to town only 10 minutes away and Rocky Mountain National Park even closer you can’t ask for anything more. On top of that the property was amazing. It was well stocked with essentials and all the amenities you really need, which was a huge plus to not have to run to the store for hand soap/paper towels/etc. It was an awesome stay, and Anthony/the host was easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend this stay to anyone looking for a quiet neighborhood in a beautiful setting.

Perfect winter retreat

Our spring break trip to Estes and we found the perfect location. Amazing view of the mountains from the lodge. A bit outside Estes and right next to the National Park so we had easy access to beautiful hikes. Inside the place was perfect. A well stocked kitchen and comfortable living room with a fantastic fireplace. Very clean, well decorated, and in a great neighborhood. A huge winter storm hit the last day, but our host worked with us to make sure we were accommodated even though roads were snowy and flights were cancelled. Highly recommend this place.

Relaxing Cabin

We came to Estes with hiking as the #1 priority. This property gives fast access to RMNP without having to deal with Estes traffic, and you can also enter the park on foot through a nearby trail. It served our needs perfectly. On the rain/snow days, it provided a great view of the mountains while we enjoyed books, board games, and the fireplace. The riverside swings in the neighborhood park were also great. We'll be back!

Comfortable cabin close to RMNP

This cabin was lovely. We stayed with our family of six, and we had enough room. You can tell that the owners take really good care of this cabin. It was very clean and had all the essentials needed to make meals. The beds were very comfortable and having two bathrooms (with showers) made it much easier with the six of us. We really liked how close it was to RMNP, though we did not end up hiking directly from the cabin. It was magical to wake up and sit on the cool deck in the morning. We saw hummingbirds and rabbits around the cabin. The sound of the river was so soothing! We would definitely recommend this cabin to other families/small groups looking for a place to stay.

Just Right

This is our fourth summer visiting Estes Park and we are big fans of the YMCA of the Rockies & Rocky Mountain National Park(RMNP). Our stay at Still Waters Lodge was just right. A perfect size for our family of 5 plus grandma. Walking distance to RMNP and the YMCA of the Rockies. Just far enough from town to not be too busy, yet close enough to make a quick trip to Kind Coffee or to shop. Clean & Comfortable. All the little things you hate to buy on vacation were there (bug spray, laundry detergent, dish soap, salt, pepper, oil, flour, shampoo, hand soap, ice etc.) The hiking guide in the cabin was so good we bought our own copy to plan for next summer!

Family Vacation

This was our first trip as a family to RMNP and this condo was perfect for our vacation. The location was very close to the park. We were comfortable with our family of 5 and grandparents. The house was well stocked and we made all our meals for the week in the kitchen. All the beds and furniture were very comfortable after coming home from hiking during the day. Grandma and Grandpa loved to sit on the deck in the afternoon and evening. The neighbors were so friendly. It is close to the Thompson River which was fun to walk down to and dip into. Estes Park is 5 minutes away which had grocery stores, delicious coffee houses, and ice cream shops! We are grateful to Anthony for the warm hospitality, advice for the area, and great communication. We hope to return in the future. We loved this condo and will always remember this special vacation!!

Clean, comfortable, and cozy for a relaxing family retreat

Spotlessly clean. Looks and feels recently refreshed. The color scheme looks freshly painted; the furniture and appliances looked and felt new; the kitchen had all the equipment needed for cooking family meals; linens and towels felt new. Huge windows fill the living space with daylight and great views. Little details add up to a quality vibe: a gas range inside and solid gas grill outside; matching china and drinkware; comfy beds; board games, books, and TV when occasional afternoon rains pop up. Strong, fast, reliable Wi-fi. Dual-function coffee machine let us choose a pot of drip style, or single-serve pods. Refreshingly, there are no decorations with tacky puns about wine or weed. Family friendly and welcoming! Easy to access RMNP, which is quicker to reach from the west side of Estes Park than the east. One morning we crossed the street and walked into Moraine Park for a quick but memorable hike. The Lodge is the perfect short distance away from the buzz of downtown EP. The development is quiet, and you can see and hear the Big Thompson River rolling by the north side of the neighborhood. The development has a nice playground for the kiddos. River access was easy for making a few quick casts in between activities (we always have our own fishing gear). Twice saw elk casually strolling through the neighborhood. Memories the kids will never forget! Friendly, responsive owners. Highly recommend Still Waters Lodge!

great mountain get away

We had a great experience staying at the Bierhaus. The property provided plenty of room for our family of four including two children. Little details such as paper towels, hand soap, laundry detergent, coffee filters were appreciated. The beds we used (we used two of the three bedrooms) were comfortable. The front porch was perfect for viewing the mountains while relaxing after a day of hiking. The location is just outside of town so perfect to avoid the busy downtown while still being very close/accessible.

Best Base Camp for RMNP/Estes Park

Kitchen was well appointed and well stocked. Beds were comfortable with extra blankets and pillows. Spotless on arrival, with easy check in. Have stayed in various locations in/around the Estes Park area over the last fifteen years, by far this has been our favorite. Hate to give it too good of review in a way, bc would like to keep this gem to ourselves. Grilled out multiple days and listened to the Big Thompson (steps away from the house). Perfect location; close to Beaver Meadows entrance, but easy to get to Estes. Thanks for letting us enjoy the home; certainly look forward to visiting again.....hopefully sooner rather than later.

Beautiful Estes Park Cabin

The Bierhaus was the perfect base camp for our 3 day Estes Park visit. It was close enough to the main area for an easy car ride into town while also being extremely close to RMNP. We even saw a gorgeous male Elk down by the river our last day. We enjoyed hiking into the park directly from the cabin when we didn't have a reserved time slot. It's extremely close to the Beaver Meadows entrance, although I recommend a VERY early arrival to beat the crowd at the entrance. When we left the park around 11:30AM the line to enter was extremely long. The cabin itself was well stocked, clean and exactly what we needed when we were there.

Summer is definitely peak season in Estes Park. Getting to the park and the trailheads very early, even on vacation, is key to maximizing your time and enjoyment in RMNP. We're glad you found the easy way to visit RMNP...just walk into the Moraine Park area directly from the cabin.
