"I can’t begin to explain the beauty of the property. It is truly heaven to wake up, look out your window and see the mountains! I sat by the river and crocheted. Looking at the gorgeous scenery and hearing the peaceful river is beyond bliss. The place is absolutely gorgeous, spotless, unique, close to town, and has an awesome breakfast. It’s not a matter of if we come back, but when. I don’t know what else to say except you will NOT be disappointed if you book any room in this wonderful...

"Super cute, clean, perfect area. Will be staying again!"

Bears Then

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute small cabin nestled high up on the hill with Great views ! 5 minutes to town and to Rocky Mountain National Park. Sitting on the balcony looking at the mountains was so nice. Had several deer visitors out front as well.Upstairs was a bit small and made for kids.Host was responsive and helpful.Everything you need was available …..just bring the food"

"Historic Mountainside Cabin At Braeside" Pet friendly.

10/10 Excellent

"Braeside is a very nice, built well, authentic log cabin, perfect for 2. We have been visiting Estes Park every year in the fall, for over 30 years. This cabin was the cleanest and cozy so far! Well equipped, firm bed, and beautiful scenery. Quiet neighborhood with many opportunities to see wildlife. When we arrived, a cow Elk and her baby were laying under the tree, outside the bathroom window to greet us!"

Walk to RMNP, hot tub, mountain views and river access.

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. The house is as-advertised. It would be great for people of all ages, but was especially well-equipped for our group - 4 adults and 5 young kids. We especially enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings after kids went to bed. The location is perfect - a short stop from the YMCA and a short drive to downtown Estes Park and RMNP. We've stayed in Aspen Brook once before. We'll be back again one day soon."
