Beautiful property with many elk next door on the golf course. Room was very clean and bathroom immaculate. It looked like the room had been renovated recently as the bathroom fixtures were very current and the carpeting appeared very new. Our second time staying here. Best place to stay to enjoy the elk in Estes Park!
