Loved this cabin. It was beautiful and quiet. Inside was bright and open. Things that made it great were: the fireplace, the large bathroom with both jetted tub (although, how do you turn on the jets?) & the walk-in shower, double sinks, and the hot tub. This cabin is the highest point on the ranch, surrounded by mountains and had a trail right behind it. We loved that it was pet-friendly. Proximity was 30ish mins to Estes Park & 45ish mins to Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. The check-in process was a little confusing - we went to the office in the lodge and they told us to just use the door code in our email. Sure, seems simple, but that’s not a normal check-in process. Would recommend making this process more clear/adapting to more common check-in processes. I find that a “hot tub” fee is obnoxious when it is included in the listing - I hate secret fees. Would highly recommend adding a table or two for the chairs to set food and drinks. Appreciated the mini-fridge and coffee maker. The water tasted bad - perhaps offer bottles of water, or at least a vending machine to buy them? All of that aside - the only reasons I’m not giving this a 5 are (and these are simple fixes): 1-the front door latch is a PAIN. I know it looks rustic, but it was challenging to open and lock from the outside due to the wood warping with the weather. Just put a normal door knob on, PLEASE. 2-the vanities in the bathroom have too low a profile - stubbed toes many times:(
