"Room was fine. Only complaint is that the sink is a pedestal sink with the shelf above the toilet. Not the most ideal placement but not sure there were other options. Other than that, room was fine. We were only there to sleep so didn’t use facilities much. Breakfast was ok, not great, but there are lots of options to go out for breakfast in Estes. "

"Booked cabin 2, it was a good size for 4 adults and 2 kids. Having the patio to go out and relax was great with the views of the mountain side or a short walk to the water. Lots of seating available by the water. Workers were great, we had a bee hive under the patio and they took care of it quick. location to estes downtown is great and to the national park. cons: the sheets/towels had like a old/musty smell, even after we got clean ones. the patio was missing 2 safety boards so we used chairs to keep the kids safe. no cleaning spray was available to clean up counters."
