10/10 Excellent
"The house was very well stocked and had plenty of room for our group of 9. It’s in a great location for entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. We enjoyed dinner at several restaurants nearby such as Smokin Dave’s BBQ, Estes Thai, and Antonio’s pizza. There was also a small coffee and pastry shop just across the road from the neighborhood that was an easy walk. They had lots of games which our group enjoyed. The extra refrigerator in the garage was very helpful."

"Historic Mountainside Cabin At Braeside"  Pet friendly.

"Historic Mountainside Cabin At Braeside" Pet friendly.

8/10 Good
"The location of this cabin is fantastic for visiting Rocky Mountain National Park—less than a 10-minute drive away. It is wonderfully peaceful and private, away from the crowds of Estes Park while still being very convenient, with a lovely supermarket only five minutes away. Communication with the property manager was seamless, with replies usually received within minutes.The cabin has lots of historic character, and we especially enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings. We knew it was a small, older cabin when booking, but it did feel a bit more compact in person. This was manageable for us, although for a longer stay some guests may find the space a little restrictive.We appreciated the rustic charm, but felt a few thoughtful updates would make it more comfortable, particularly for the price. There is no air conditioning, which was fine for us, although some windows were difficult to open and close. The cabin is also quite dark inside, so a little additional or brighter lighting would help. The bathroom is functional, although the position of the tap makes the sink slightly awkward to use, and the charming porch chairs were not especially comfortable for longer periods.These points did not stop us from having a lovely stay. The cabin’s privacy, peaceful setting and proximity to the park are its greatest strengths, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there."

"Our cottage at Swiftcurrent Was amazing. The location is wonderful, and everyone was friendly and helpful. The Spice Rack bakery/store on property is a huge plus; it was easy to grab delicious coffee, and their baked goods are out of this world. I hope we can stay there again."

"If you are looking for luxury with a view, this is your place. I can’t imagine Estes Park having a better place to stay. The panoramic views of the mountains were breathtaking! Hands down, one of the best luxury stays we’ve ever had. The double island and large table in the kitchen was where we gathered most of the time, whether it was eating/snacking and having cocktails or playing card games at night. It was an unforgettable family vacation!"
