It is recommend AWD or 4WD during snowy season. The drive relatively easy for the elevation we are located at HOWEVER, this is subjective to each individual experience with the climate and natural elements. Parking is on the driveway only. Snow removal in the winter months for the Driveway before arrival and do our very best to maintain it but with unpredictable high winds throughout the year, snow drifts are common. We cannot guarantee the sidewalk will be completely cleared prior to your arrival. Please come prepared with the right gear. This means hiking shoes or snow boots with good footing. We do provide snow shovels for guests to use. Many guests love and enjoy this experience, but if you are not the adventurous type or do not have experience in these elements this might not be the rental for you. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns before booking.

"This beautiful house was perfect for our family! We enjoyed the area with numerous wildlife sightings, proximity to Estes Park, and ability to spend time together as a family. The management was so easy to communicate with and made our trip easy to plan! VRBO 2022

"We loved the house - particularly as there was a lower level where my adult daughter and significant other could sleep and watch TV. It was decorated for Christmas, so even tho we were away for the holiday, it felt like home.

Gorgeous views and great amenities for the whole family!

"We spent Thanksgiving here in 2021. Even with two families, there was plenty of room. The house is lovely on its own, but they had included lots of great fall decorations throughout the house, which really added to the festivities during our stay. The views from the back deck are absolutely beautiful. We especially enjoyed that while in the hot tub. The house is in a very quiet area, but still close enough to downtown. The weather took a bit of a turn one of the days we were there, but thanks to all the wonderful "extras" we still had a fun day. There are coloring books and puzzles for the kids and lots of board games for the whole family. We spent most of our time in the garage that day. The adults played cornhole and the kids had a blast playing with a giant Jenga set and giant Connect 4 game. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful location, short drive from town

Review Date: September 19, 2022

Vacation Date: September 9, 2023

"Our stay at this home was lovely. It is a beautiful location, not right on top of things and only a short drive to town and the park. Wonderful outdoor space and nice amenities (including great hiking guides and things to keep kids occupied). The property manager was very response to a couple questions I had. The only downside (or maybe upside depending on who you are) is the stairs were a little creaky so no one can sneak in or out! VRBO 9/23
