Perfect little getaway cabin

My son and I had a chance to get away and do some exploring in RMNP, and we lucked out by finding Reflection Cabin for our stay. We loved everything about it - the coziness, the quaint little kitchen with everything we needed, the fresh mountain breeze, and the sound of the river across the street. We loved watching Netflix with a fire each evening after long days of hiking, and also loved how close it was to walk or drive into town for food/shopping/etc. Rick and Cheryl were excellent hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!

Rocky Mountain High on the 4th of July

This adorable red little cabin was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. The beds pushed together easily to make a king, and the owners actually did that for us. The fridge held everything we needed for the week. The bathroom was super cute and we loved the provided amenities. The kitchen really had everything we needed to cook. It was such a short drive to Rocky Mountain National Park that we easily spent our whole days there but absolutely loved walking around town in the evenings and enjoying the restaurants and shops. We will be back!!!

Charming Cottage but too close for comfort to the road

Cheryl was a very accommodating host and met us when we arrived. She thoroughly explained everything and was very gracious. This cabin was very charming and we loved it. The only thing we didn’t like was hearing traffic race by at night and early morning. We were shocked when we measured that the road was only a couple of steps from the front of the cabin, which was probably approximately 6 feet or less. I want to stress again that the cabin was fine but we had no idea that the road was less than 6 feet away and we would hear traffic all night long and in the early morning. A car could easily run into the side of the cabin and cause extreme damage and we felt unsafe.

Charming, well appointed cabin/cottage. We loved how close it was to downtown Estes Park. Enjoyed the real wood fireplace. While small it more than met the needs for my wife and I.

Perfect stay

My husband and I loved our stay at the Reflection cabin! It was a quick walk downtown to shopping and restaurants and less than a 10 minute drive to RMNP. The cabin itself was adorable, super clean and super cozy but still roomy. Our favorite part was the wood burning stove which we used every night to heat the cabin. It was also super sweet that the hosts check you in and make sure you are comfortable for your stay, I never experienced that before and it was nice to know the ins and outs explained to us rather than guessing. Overall, this place may be my favorite rental I ever stayed at and I highly recommend it!

Beautiful Modern Cabin

This was the coziest cabin for a couple's weekend. It was beautifuly decorated but kept a lot of the old character. All finishings were modern and comfortable and the location to the creek and downtown were huge benefits while we were there. Cheryl was a lovely and accommodating host. I would recommend this place to any of my friends and family.
