FANTASTIC!

Husband and I were looking for a secluded, romantic, nature getaway for our 12 year anniversary. This house checked all the boxes! We saw elk, moose, deer, turkeys, you name it! We even arrived late due to our airline (thanks Frontier), but check in was flawless. House was absolutely gorgeous and the views were to die for. We can’t wait to take our kids back to visit!

Family Reunion Christmas with young children

The Rivendall Log Cabin is in a wonderful location (hiking trailhead, RMNP adjacent, and Estes Park nearby) and large enough to house a family reunion of fourteen. The cabin was nicely decorated for Christmas. There are numerous sitting areas on each of the three floors to enjoy the views and meals. The lower ratings are due to (1) uncleanliness on arrival, (2) a broken window, (3) inability to handle trash, (4) out-of-order hot-tub, and (5) absence of help by on-site property manager/owner. While this may be unusual, it was a downer for us.

Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is beautiful, so well stocked, lots of space and plenty of bedrooms for everyone. We gathered in the sunroom, played board games, built a snowman, sledded and more. Eight deer visited the cabin on Saturday and Sunday, and we saw two moose yesterday also! Thank you…we arrived after dark and the Christmas lights/Christmas tree being on was very welcoming, and bringing us extra firewood was so thoughtful. After it snowed all night, it was a welcome surprise for someone to come plow the driveway and shovel the walk! Thank you again for sharing your property with us. We will definitely recommend it to our family and friends, and we hope to be back soon!

Beautiful cabin in the woods

Our favorite place was the glassed in sunroom over looking the mountain’s, so beautiful. Our family of 14, 12 adults and 2 under the age of 2 loved staying in this cabin. It’s 3 floors, all with at least 1 bath and a sitting room and was perfect for our needs. The kitchen is well equipped, we actually had our Thanksgiving Dinner there. We would love to meet our family there again next year. Trish was so good to work with, 😊 Terry & Jeanette

Family Retreat was a success!

Mom & Dad's 50th anniversary celebration was great! We had 3 generations in the house and the whole family enjoyed the trip :-) We hiked all over (Bear Lake and Alberta Falls were our favorite spots) and saw elk, moose and mule deer! Wildfires were happening during our stay but Trish kept us up to date about all the ongoings and made sure we were safe and well taken care of during our stay. Would 100% stay again if we find ourselves traveling westward in the future. Highly Recommend!

Fantastic Family Time at Rivendell

What a wonderful time our family had at Rivendell. Everything was perfect - from the amenities to the location - we couldn't have been more pleased. There was room for everyone to be together as well as places to go to be alone. The location has beautiful scenery and is so quiet. The location also provides very easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park as well as the town of Estes Park. It is a place for us to return to in the future. Thank you.

July 5-13 family reunion

We chose this property specifically because of the location outside the hubbub of Estes Park and yet near enough to be no trouble to get into town whenever we needed to. It has nice large bedrooms and a large wrap around porch. The back sitting room that overlooks the back wooded area of the property is enclosed which was nice on cooler evenings. Our large family had plenty of space. Bring supplies such as shampoo and extra towels - or plan to do laundry often if you’re a large family. The trailhead at the end of the road - about 1/4 mile away - leads right into RMNP, which is a huge plus when at the height of the season and time entry passes. We saw moose, deer, coyotes, bighorn sheep, wild turkeys and lots of stars at night. Would stay again - at a less crowded time of year in Estes Park.
