We had a wonderful two night stay for my boyfriend’s birthday this weekend! The room was truly such a cozy, warm oasis to escape the snowy weather. The room was clean, had all the extra stuff we needed (kitchen utensils, towels, etc.) and the bed was very comfortable. The star of the show was the hot tub in the room, we LOVED being able to jump in whenever we wanted without having to leave the cabin. We will definitely be back!

This was our first time at this property. I was pleasantly surprised. It was so cozy and clean. I love the hot tub inside the cabin. The room was immaculately clean. They even had coffee and hot chocolate. The fire place was a nice touch as well. We were so close to everything. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again as well as recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the Estes Park area.

We absolutely loved Mountain Shadows and hope to stay here again when we're back in Estes Park. The cabin was conveniently located near Rocky Mountain National Park and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including air conditioning, kitchen and a hot tub.

STAY HERE IT'S LITERALLY PERFECT

Very great place! Haven't stayed at a place this cared for and well kept in a while! It's clear that the owners have poured their heart and soul into this place, and have made sure to be involved at every level to make sure things are exceeding expectations. My expectations were surely exceeded and their friendliness and homely touches were not unnoticed. It was very nice to actually have everything we needed! Utensils, dish soap, trash in the kitchen, extra water bottles... These are typically things always forgotten at other places... But not here!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this cozy cabin, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Even days before we were scheduled to arrive, communication with Pam was excellent. She was extremely helpful and accommodating. The cabin itself was impeccable and incredibly comfortable, providing a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. One of the highlights of my stay was the hot tub right next to the bed, which was the ideal spot to unwind and relax.. The addition of a charming chimney in the room added an extra touch of coziness, making the atmosphere truly magical. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with outstanding service, this cabin is the place to be! I would give it a 10 out of 5 stars if I could! Thank you, Mountain Shadows Resort, for an unforgettable experience! We will definitely be back soon and plan to make this an annual retreat.
