Cute cabin was just right for my wife and I. The location was ideal; close to rocky mtn national park and just far enough out of Estes Park hustle and bustle. We loved having the BBQ Grill for cooking our lunches and dinners. We even acquired some Elk from the local market just down the street. The booking included 2 cabins, one we did not use but would work well if we bring the grandkids next time.

We loved staying at the cabins, they were so cute, comfortable, and convenient as well as being so well stocked with items travelers need. The location was perfect for entrance to the park and also for shopping and restaurants. Having two couples, it was nice having two cabins.

This was our second stay here, and it was excellent both times. The location could not be better for spending time in RMNP. The cabins are in a quiet location and are in great shape. We’ve had turkeys, deer and elk in the yard. The hosts are very friendly and unfailingly helpful. We will be back!

Best vacation ever!

This was the best vacation our family has ever had. The location was very convenient to downtown Estes Park as well as Rocky mountain national Park. The double cabins were the perfect situation for my wife and kids and I, and my mother and father-in-law that joined us on our trip it let us spend time together, while at the same time having our own space. Everything you could possibly need was already stocked in the cabins to include utensils, cookware, laundry supplies, etc. We would definitely like to stay here again in the future!

Perfect stay!

My partner and I were in Estes Park for the hiking mostly. This cabin was perfect for our needs. It was a great place to recharge after a long day on the trails. We appreciated the A/C in this cabin as it was very hot for the first part of our stay. We also appreciated the location as it is close to the park and to downtown. Scott and Karen were excellent hosts. SUPER communicative and gave us lots of recommendations for places to eat and how to avoid the construction downtown. Five stars. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Estes Park Stay

We visited Estes Park with our two college age kids. Having two cabins was great for each of us to have our own space. The cabins were super clean, the beds comfortable, and The Smiling Elk was well stocked. We loved the location-close to the main park entrance and restaurants/grocery store without having to go into Downtown, but also close to downtown when needed. We had a minor issue of a smoke detector needing a battery change, and the owners took care of it right away. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

2 cabins - Perfect for a family with teens

We loved staying in these beautiful cabins for the week! The proximity to the park was key as we were able to quickly start our morning hikes or see sunrise and sunset and take an afternoon nap to recharge when needed. It was about 10 minutes to get through the park entrance and the Bear Lake timed entry check point, without traffic. The beds were comfortable and the cabins well stocked with everything we needed. Our daughter was able to take advantage of the trolley stop close by one day after shopping in Estes. The owners quickly responded to any questions we had leading up to our trip.

Wonderful, comfortable, and cozy stay

Our family loved staying in these cabins. We have older children and they thought it was so fun to be able to stay in a separate cabin from the grown ups. It was close to RMNP and conveniently located to a small market and an incredibly delicious deli/bakery called "Scratch." We also saw plenty of nature (little rabbits, birds, and elk) in the yard as well. The owners were super responsive when we had questions, though most things were self-explanatory. They had huge washers and dryers in the very spacious bathroom in the main cabin. What a great bonus after hiking at RMNP! The owners also stock with essentials like laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and even makeup remover. The only caveat I would give to these cabins is that the main cabin has a fairly small kitchen that is well stocked with dishes and utensils, but had only a small and pretty damaged collection of pots, trays, etc.. We were able to do some minimal cooking, but not the way we are used to with most VRBOS we stay at. If you are planning on doing a lot of indoor cooking, this may not be the place for you. For everyone else, I'd highly recommend staying here.
