  4/5

  The Good:Our stay in Estes Park was great and this property added to the pleasure. Most items were in nice clean condition, well cared for, beautiful log furniture and decor. The recliners were amazing. The Bad:The driveway way was way steeper and scarier to navigate than it explains and we have a 2020 chevy blazer which is a mid size car so anything bigger would take extra skill. My husband didn't have trouble, although he has driven 32' firetrucks in tighter spaces, but I would have had a terrible time myself and I am a pretty good driver in general. We did have to use 4x4 to get into the driveway on the misty days so be prepared. Next, I knew to get to the main floor on the property there were steps, however I saw the lower level entry door on the listing and figured we could use that as I have a fused ankle and steps don't always work best, especially outside steps. Because of the type of door handle and lock box on the handle, it was impossible to open it from the outside or lock it from the outside. The owner should consider changing that for convenience of those who are renting who would rather enter on the lower level, drop their coats and shoes then go upstairs. The hardware/handles on the sliding glass doors were broken and they used the sticks to keep them closed. (This may have just happened on the last rental before we arrived so I understand that they may not have had time to fix this, but there was no note explaining so it made it difficult to enjoy the decks from the patio sliding doors.)The Ugly:The king bed and queen bed were both very uncomfortable mattresses. I wish I could say the beds got better in the next 2 houses however they each got worse as we traveled on. These beds alone I would give 2 stars. My daughters $300 double mattress from costco is a 5 compared to these. If you are lucky and you don't have back issues or hip issues, foot issues, or generally can sleep anywhere, and drive anywhere, then this house is for you and my review won't scare you. This is not meant to scare anyone. It is meant to help those people like me who spend hours and hours researching properties for that once a year family vacation that need good sleeping mattresses for their husbands back, and mine too apparently, by giving my honest opinion and review.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Vicki, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they would like to share the following:
  - Our listing description includes a disclaimer about access to the home and the steps so that guests can decide before booking if this home will work for them. We state that "Access only by stairs, 4WD or AWD required in winter months."
  - The sliding glass doors are not broken, they open and close as designed. The door jams are there as an extra safety precaution.
  - While mattress taste is subjective, we have never received any complaints about this in the past. However, we apologize that you were not completely comfortable and that our specific beds did not suit your personal preferences.
  We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!
