Great location to RMNP and Estes

This place was exactly what we were hoping for in our stay. Close to RMNP for morning hikes and close to Estes Park for ice cream runs. The owners were great and responsive to questions. This was one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever had for a VRBO home. Great place to unwind and just hang out.
