Amazing place for an amazing trip

My family and I stayed here for the Rocky Mountain National Park part of our Denver family vacation. The hosts were responsive and lovely, the entire place was fully stocked and great for a family trip. The outdoor games were a favorite of my kids (especially the foosball). One of the best experiences we have had.

Great Getaway!

The cabin was very well equipped/stocked with anything that you would normally have in your home. The owners were very accommodating and available at all times. There is abundant wildlife (i.e. deer, birds, rabbits, etc.) to watch at dawn and dusk and the view of the mountains was beautiful. We will definitely rebook on a future return trip!

Perfect location

This cabin was perfect for our family of 6 from 2.5 years to 68. The location, accessiblity, and being just far enough away from the city bustle was perfect for us. We loved how fully stocked the kitchen was to meet our daily needs and how relaxing the set-up was in the rest of the house. The gliding rockers were perfect for snuggling with our grandchild. Mary was a perfect hostess, responding quickly to our every need.

Lovely Home!

Cozy home. Gorgeous views. Comfy beds. There was enough room for all 6 of us! Fully stocked kitchen. Nice location. Minutes away from RMNP entrance. Also a nice grocery store that we love to shop at! We saw elk and deer in the yard! Would definitely recommend!

Cozy Cabin Close to RMNP

Mary's cabin was very comfortable for our group of 4. The kitchen was well equipped and contained everything necessary to prepare meals, including basic supplies such as cooking oil and spices. The front porch, while facing a road which was heavily travelled at times, was a great place to relax at the end of a day in the park. There was a well-stocked market and gas station nearby and the primary eastern entrance to RMNP was just a few minutes drive. The downtown area was also only several minutes away. One possible concern for anyone with mobility issue is that you must manage several stairs in order to access the property from the driveway. The other being that there is no AC, and while the windows provide great airflow, hot weather may make the cabin uncomfortably warm, especially in the upstairs bedrooms. Overall, though, a great place.

The cabin was a great choice! Mary made sure everything we needed was available for us to use.

The cabin was a great place to relax after hiking all day! Everyone enjoyed the deer and elk walking through the front yard. It wasn’t far from town when we went shopping yet provided a serene place to relax. We would definitely return for another stay!

Nice cabin in a convenient setting

We had three people staying at this property for a week in the summer season. We liked the location, as it's a mile or two outside the summer crush of downtown Estes Park, but within quick driving distance of a grocery store and gas station. The cabin itself was well-appointed, and sits on three acres that is frequented by elk and other wildlife that drink from a small pond. If it had a dishwasher, I'd have given it 5 stars. Nice place to stay.

Genuine Rocky Mountain experience!

Property is amazingly authentic and comfortable. Everything you want. Such attention to details and necessities to make you comfortable. Saw elk several times. The view is incredible. The proximity to the park made hiking expeditions in the park so easy. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Great place to stay!

The listing was accurate. The property is very close to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. They also have tons of toys my baby enjoyed playing with. As mentioned in the listing, there isn't AC. It isn't a huge problem but when the high is 80 degrees, it does get a little warm in the upstairs bedrooms. Other than that, it's a perfect place to stay, and we would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place in a quiet neighborhood.

Check in was easy, the doors were unlocked and everything was ready for us.We did a lot of cooking. The kitchen items were ok, it would have been nice to have a little bit better cookware and utensils. We used the laundry room, it would have been nice to have a basket to put clothes in. We didn’t think to bring that. We loved the front porch! The chairs were comfortable and we enjoyed sitting outside each morning and evening, watching for deer to make their way through. I wish we could have opened some of the downstairs windows to get a breeze through the house, sometimes cooking really heated up the kitchen area. Something we didn’t realize in advance was that there were other houses very close by. Our crew gets kind of loud sometimes so that’s something to note if you’re bringing your kids! We were visited by the owner one morning and he was very friendly and helpful.

An Enjoyable way to spend Christmas with the family

We enjoyed ourselves completely. The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We just added our Christmas stockings and were ready to celebrate Christmas. The grandkids enjoyed exploring the outdoors with their dad. There was enough room for them to run around and run off some steam. We are hoping to do this at some other time. It was great fun and beautiful. Vicky

Mary Doty, the owner was very kind and assisted us with all needs. We enjoyed our stay.

As is the case with life nothing is perfect but this cabin came close. I would only suggest that the upstairs bathroom needs a latch to use the bathroom in priracy, also one of the upstairs rooms has no heater and the room get cold at night. Lastly we found a dead mouse in the lower cabinet when pulling out a pan to use and this was a bit upsetting for the girls but on a positive note we saw mouse traps. Our overall experience was positive and we are thankful for this. We would come back again because the cabin is cozy and the area so beautiful.

Great location, Well stocked, Nice place

We loved the location. Wildlife through the property each day. The house was very well stocked. Nice having privacy around us on the lot. Communication with host was good. The only thing keeping us from putting 5 starts is a mouse that was in the lower bedroom and ate and got in a lot of our food in the kitchen. This alone is not good but our host new this was an issue. It would have been nice to have been made aware of this so we could keep our food not in the fridge in harder to place contianers or areas.

Beautiful Modernized Log Cabin With All Amenities

The only reason for anyone not to give Aspen Acres 5 stars is to keep this gem "below the radar" so others won't find it! We had a wonderful stay there in late Sept. with our two adult daughters, son-in-law and 10-month old granddaughter. It was very clean upon arrival and has all the amenities you'll ever need ... and then some! The owner, Mary, has put a lot of thought into what families might need during their vacation stay and has tried hard to fill those needs. Just a few examples: games and books for adults, toys for kids of all ages, a permanent child gate at the top of the stairway to the 2nd floor bedrooms, a desk in the loft, not one but two types of coffee makers, dozens of kitchen utensils and pans and pots, chopped wood in plastic cans (to keep it dry) next to an outside firepit, and even Hershey bars, graham crackers, marshmallows, and stainless steal sticks/skewers to make S'mores. The cabin is only 3-4 minutes from town but with its 3 acres and pond in front, it clearly feels out in the country. There was more than enough room for all of us to spread out, including on the large, covered front porch overlooking the pond. We'll no doubt be back!

Great place to stay!

The property was beautiful and met the need for our family of 5. The owners were easy to work with and considerate! It was cute, well stocked, and extremely convenient for everything we wanted to do. My only "complaints" aren't even complaints, just feedback for those booking the property. 1. It's not as remote as you may make it in your head when looking at the pictures, it is on a busy road but you are set back enough from the road that the only real impact on your stay is hearing the road noise when you are sitting outside - I was still able to relax and read for hours outside. 2. There are only 3 beds, 2 upstairs and 1 downstairs. I'm sure this is clear in the description but I read that there were 4 beds including 2 singles. It was actually 3 beds, one single bed and one single air mattress, had 3 teenagers (19G,17B,16B) and only 2 beds. There is a fold down couch, 2 air mattresses and a playpen in addition to the beds but having to pick who gets shafted to an alternate bed when you are on vacation for a week isn't an easy conversation.
