loved our stay!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house is spacious and laid out well. We only had 3 in our party but would easily accommodate more (it's much more spacious inside than it looks from the outside, so trust the pictures as they accurately portray how roomy and cozy the house is). The sight and sound of the Thompson River is such a bonus - so beautiful and relaxing. We spent a lot of time on the porch and I highly recommend refilling the hummingbird feeder, as those cuties provided us with lots of entertainment! You can't beat the convenience to RMNP and we really enjoyed being close to Estes Park, without being right in the hustle of it (road construction right now causes delays). Hiking - I recommend the Cub Lake Trail and Sprague Lake/Glacier Creek trails (both are within driving distance). We had some great meals but our favorite was at Bird & Jim, right up the street. We really loved our stay here and hope to return at some point!

Beautiful Mountain Home

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying in your beautiful home in Big Thompson canyon. It was the most immaculate VRBO I have stayed in with a kitchen that was well equipped. Linens and beds were all high quality. Communication with rental company/owner was very prompt addressing any of our issues. I would absolutely stay again!

Lovely Holiday Retreat

My family stayed here the week between Xmas and New Year's. It was the perfect winter retreat. Very cozy little cabin right by the YMCA and entrance to RMNP. My girls absolutely loved playing in the snow and then coming in to warm up by the fire. Hosts were very communicative and place was spotless and very warmly decorated.

Relaxing

It was helpful to “wake up” the door lock by placing a hand over the face of the lock, and used the “check mark” at the end. The home is as pictured. We are used to air conditioning, so it felt a bit stuffy to us, but was obviously very well cleaned. The kitchen is large with ample dining space, and all the cooking supplies you would need are present. The living room is comfortable with plenty of seating, we were here in October and spent most of our time outside by the river. This house has the best outdoor space in the neighborhood by far. The beds were comfortable, I was happy I brought a firm pillow though, these were all fluffy. The bathrooms are great, they included shampoos etc which I find is a bonus when renting a house. The location is relaxing, away from the hustle of downtown Estes, a short drive into town, there is not really any space to go for walks in the neighborhood (that I found), but is so close to the Rocky Mountain National Park, that you will want to do all your walking there 😊 I was delighted they had extra blankets in each of the bedrooms, it was cool in the evenings and we each had something to wrap up in while relaxing by the river. They also had extra box fans, extra toilet paper, plenty of dish towels and rags, a generous amount of towels, a generous of supplies for our stay. I also greatly appreciated they didn’t ask us to strip the beds and start the laundry before checking out.

Stream side perfection

My wife and I had a fabulous stay at Pinehenge. The location on the Big T is perfect. Whether we were fishing for a few hours or just sitting stream side drinking wine, we felt at home. My wife used the word “cozy” to describe the fireplaces and accommodations. The only issue upon arrival was some confusion on how to activate the digital lock to enter the code. Tapping didn’t work…… you needed to place hand over to take it out of sleep mode. When calling the management company they tried to convince me I was at the wrong place but we knew better. Specific instruction might benefit future renters. After clearing that hurdle, the rest was paradise. We would absolutely recommend this property and look forward to returning.

Pinehenge on the River

Excellent home on the river. Beautiful location. We loved the porch and being able to listen to the river. Kitchen was well stocked and the master suite large and comfortable. The bathrooms were well equipped with lots of towels and soaps, etc. The colors, paintings and decor were just perfect for the mountains. The neighborhood was quiet and clean. We did have a problem with the TV as the cable was unplugged and no directions on how to reconnect. It just took a while of several tries to get it on. We did have a problem with the garbage shed code as it did not work. We were lucky to find a neighbor who allowed us to put the trash in his private bin. Otherwise, the property was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a family or a quiet spot for just two. Enjoyed having a grill.

Peaceful and beautiful view

We couldn't get enough of coffee in the morning sitting by the river and playing in the river throughout the day. The place is spacious and, with three older children, we appreciated three total queen beds in the secondary bedrooms - two queen beds in one of the secondary bedrooms instead of the usual just one queen bed in each of the secondary bedrooms. Access to RMNP & Estes downtown was so close and we appreciated being close, but feeling secluded.

Great getaway when visiting RMNP

Two families with kids stayed here comfortably. It has every kitchen amenity you need to make meals. Just 5 minutes to RMNP Beaver Meadows Entrance, it made our early morning timed entry so easy! I would definitely stay here again! The only thing I found confusing was the trash. Directions were left saying recycling was mandatory and gave an off-site address to drop it. However, the recycling center was closed the day we checked out.

Weekend with a View

Our family enjoyed this location and the place was beautiful. We were very comfortable there. Sitting right along the river was spectacular. Very relaxing. Some of the ceiling fans weren’t working and we had a hard time getting the Keureg coffee pot to brew a full pot. Or brew correctly, even when we followed the directions. So we used the extra Mr. Coffee pot in the pantry for 2 mornings. There were plenty of cups, dishes, pots/pans that suit our family great. Very comfortable beds & extra fans provided as well. Very very nice stay!

Excellent property! The Big Thompson River really does flow in front of the town house; it is very close to Rocky Mountain National Park and the town of Estes Park; it is spacious, beautifully furnished, and outfitted with all of the dishes, utensils, and other items than a family could ever use!

Fantastic, right on river!

My family had such a wonderful stay in Estes at this vacation home right on the river. One highlight was a herd of elk that walked right by our back door! My sons really enjoyed fishing and caught many trout while we sat in the coziest balcony overlooking the river. The back patio is especially wonderful. We made friends with neighbors, had a BBQ, and slept to the sound of rushing river at night. Very comfortable, spacious, and clean. Well equipped kitchen for cooking. Highly recommended!

Spectacular river retreat

This house is lovely, beautifully furnished, and very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and away from the crowds of downtown yet only a mile or two from everything you need. Everything you need is already in the house, even fishing poles. The back porch is where we spent most of our time listening to the river a few feet away and watching the hummingbirds swarm around the feeder. Our only suggestions are to make sure the WiFi passwords and garbage bin codes posted on the refrigerator, modem, and on Vrbo are all the same, we had some confusion connecting to the wifi and taking the trash out. Also, it would be great to install some non-slid strips in the bath tub and a handle bar for safety. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this house to anyone traveling to Estes Park and RMNP! Thank you to the owners and hosts!
