PLEASE NOTE: our four cabins between Grand Lake and Estes Park are a 35 year family business. We are not a hotel, we do our best to make sure that every guest and group are happy. The cabins are in the mountains and therefore small furry and crawly friends may visit from time to time, especially in the late fall. All of our cabins are NO SMOKING inside or on the decks and patios, the Rocky Mountains are under constant fire danger and our cabins are all made of wood. We also want to respect the smells and preferences of other guests. If our onsite managers smell smoke of any type then the entire deposit is forfeit. Our cabins in Estes Park are on well systems. That means the sinks can have streaks when clean and the HOT TUBS can be off color as the minerals react with the cleaning chemicals. The water is safe to drink and very clean! PETS are allowed in BOTH cabins, however, we only cater to dogs and only very well behaved ones. This cabin can have 2 dogs, the other only 1. Please keep dogs crated when not home. We do not have dog runs at this time. Please clean up after dogs. We employ an additional cleaning service for pet dander and rug shampoo so that our allergic guests are also happy. We charge a $40 pet fee for EACH dog that is not usually reflected in the price quote. FIRE: we have gas fire pits at both houses, wood burning is not allowed in Estes Park vacation rentals. PARKING: the driveways visibly have space for 6 vehicles at each house BUT ARE LIMITED TO 3-4 due to city code, please let us know if you are in need of more and we can help you find off-site parking. CAMERAS: we have live closed circuit cameras on the driveways, the main decks, and the water front. These are for safety and security and are only accessed by the owner. There are no recording devices anywhere inside the cabins
CANCELLATION POLICY: If reservations are cancelled within 6 months of check-in we keep a non-refundable 10% fee 50% if cancelled within 90 days 100% if cancelled within 30 days. Our cabins book a year out, it's more difficult to make last minute arrangements so VRBO recommends getting their insurance against cancelations for medical and other last minute issues.

The house has lots and lots of room for families. The view was as beautiful as advertised. We all enjoyed the walking path that surrounds the lake. Estes Park itself was just awesome. So beautiful with plenty of shopping and dining. Rocky Mountain National Park was breathtaking. Our stay held many memories.
We had a great time with a large crowd in this home! The owner did everything he could to make us comfortable and even brought a new dryer when the one in the house started to malfunction. Beautiful vistas and ample space for all.
Beautiful cabin on Lake Estes with stunning views! We caught lots of fish, had a few mule deer visitors and saw eagles, chippies, ground squirrels and rabbits. The cabin was perfect with everything we needed to make our stay perfect!! We also had the best weather and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets!!

Overall it was a decent experience. Unfortunately the hot tub was broken all week and the downstairs shower was only lukewarm. The stove is somewhat hard to understand.
House is beautifully located on lake. Easy to access Estes or RMNP. Our daughter was married in Estes and the porch was absolutely perfect to gather as a family and relax on the lake. Highly recommend.
Stunning family-friendly location. Enjoyed meals together around a spacious dining table, movie nights with the projector, and breathtaking views from the exceptional patio. Every detail is designed for comfort, connection, and lasting memories! Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise!
This was a perfect place to stay to celebrate 3 of our daughters graduating college with varying degrees. We had a great time fishing, hiking, and trying out the mountain coaster! Great times for all ages.
The house location and view was fantastic!!!! We all enjoyed eating in the dining room together around the round table. It made our vacation wonderful time being able to enjoy each other at the house.❤️❤️

5day, 4night stay. Great views and house large enough for our whole family of ten to reside comfortably. Could use repairs, updates, and better/easier tv viewing. Very kind owners.
The photos available from the wrap around deck were stunning. The house was perfect for our family vacation. Everyone went off and did their own thing during the day then came back for evening dinner and discussion of our day and time in the hot tub or fishing. Plentiful time for relaxing too.

The property location is absolutely Beautiful! The property itself needs some TLC as there were several maintenance issues that need to be addressed! The bones of the property was absolutely Beautiful and once it is renovated and maintenance is done, I would absolutely stay here again.
Great views! Great space for a family. No foosball table anymore which was a small bummer as the kids wanted to play against each other but thats probably for a reason. That's really not a big deal as it was such a wonderful & cozy home to sit by the fireplace and enjoy family time. I'm happy we chose this location. Host was wonderful and checked in as well.💜 Highly recommend this home.
We had a family wedding in the Rocky Mountains and 12 of us stayed at this property right in Estes Lake. What a fantastic view and the location was convenient to all. We relaxed on the wrap around deck, took advantage of the walking path along the lake, headed into town with a short drive to the town center and headed into Rocky Mountain National Park. The kids also enjoyed the movie screen and selection of DVDs. Mike (the owner) was accommodating and responsive for any questions we had. Highly recommend this location for a stay in the mountains.

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Our family especially enjoyed the amazing views from the deck. There was enough space in the living room and dining area for all of us to be together. The location was great, but the driveway was a little steep for us at first. An added feature that we weren’t expecting was that the home is now air conditioned. My biggest concern was the communication. It took several emails to get information about the check-in process, and when I called the number listed for the property manager about something that was broken, I never heard back after making two calls over three days. In spite of some concerns, this was a great stay for us in a lovely area.
Great Location of Cabin located right on Estes Lake which is a few minute drive from Stanley Hotel and the “town” with all the restaurants, bars, and shops. 15 minute drive to entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. The cabin Overlooks the mountains and the lake. Plenty of parking space. 5 bedrooms that comfortably fit 12 people. Awesome projector room for sports and/or movie night. Kitchen very clean and spacious. The house had everything we needed to enjoy a getaway in the wintry season. Hot tub was very nice, clean, and is outside overlooking lake as well.
Only 7 butter knives and appliances dated. Great 3 burner Webber grill but drip pan not cleaned and had major burn out. House could have been cleaner. Good experience overall.
I have a summary & pictures of the bad condition this property is in! How can I send U write up I left the owners & pictures? In all the Wonderful stays I’ve done with Ur business, this was a terribly kept home! Take this listing off Ur site or get a bad review of Ur very high standards!

About the host
Hosted by Mike Thomas
Our immediate family has been in Estes, Grand Lake, and Rocky Mountain National Park since my parents got married in Estes in 1982. Before that my Grandfather frequented the Estes YMCA starting in the 50s. We have had a family cabin at Lemmon Lodge in Grand Lake since 1986 and love the area more than anywhere else on Earth. Rocky Mountain National Park will always be the center of our Colorado home.
Why they chose this property
This cabin is made for family reunions and family gatherings. We love to help make memories and appreciate guests who come back year after year. Our goal is that every stay in the Rockies is unique and wonderful, and that we can share our love of the mountains with other families and new friends.
What makes this property unique
We are the ONLY two year round cabins in Estes Park for rent that sit directly on the lake. The views are beautiful, as are the different seasons and the amazing wildlife that makes the area its home. We have unobstructed views of the snowcapped Rockies and continental divide, as well as the surrounding nature with regular visits from bald eagles and elk.
