Amazing home - Relaxation and rejuvenation!!!
Gorgeous home. Perfectly advertised - amazing space for our family of 4. We ended up not using the downstairs bedroom - beautiful space - but a bit chilly down there. Great family room to cozy up in - home is beautifully decorated - and kitchen is amazingly stocked! I love when owners leave spices and baking things you may have forgotten - so thoughtful! One bathroom was fine for we four - and it was lovely - full of all kinds of bath products. The deck overlooking the river was wonderful. Although the main road is across fall river - it was not loud at all. The outside property is beautiful. Nestled in the woods on the river - perfection! The attached spa was a lovely addition to the aesthetics of the property, but also the general feeling of relaxation and slowing down. The owner was wonderful to communicate with and I felt like the house was so fairly priced for such a wonderful space! There were amazing closets for extra storage and unpacking so you can really feel settled in and at home. The home was so clean, so well stocked, and check in and check out was a breeze with a coded door system. We highly recommend - it was awesome!

Family Vacation
The house was beautiful and in a great location. We really enjoyed staying right on the river, and sat outside every night to enjoy the sounds. My wife and I walked into downtown from the house several times. The house was very clean and well-equipped. The owners/property managers were very nice and responded to our questions very quickly. We would definitely recommend this house for anybody!

Retreat was definitely a retreat!
We were nicely surprised at the quality of the retreat. It was in a great location along side a flowing creek. What we really appreciated was the promptness of communication and kindness from the host. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Lovely home walking distance to downtown
Stayed here with my husband and 17-year-old son The house was very cozy and offered lots of space to relax both separately and together. Beds and furniture are very comfortable and the house has all the amenities you’d want, plus more. Downtown is about a quarter-mile walk away so we never had to battle with parking downtown. The only negative thing is the proximity of the house to the highway, which can be pretty loud during peak hours. Mornings and evenings are quiet, though, making it easy to enjoy the sound of the stream in the backyard. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and agreed that the house was exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful retreat full of amenities
We were in town for a wedding and really busy with those activities so it was so nice to return to such a peaceful home. It was stocked with more than we could have asked for (coffee, tea and syrups, plenty of towels, bathroom amenities), very comfortable bed and very clean. We had several wild life visitors right outside as well! I loved the little touches and really appreciated the calming bubble bath recipe. I didn’t have a chance to try the spa this time but this lovely home is definitely due for a return visit.

Great Getaway + Spa!
On our trip was husband (40s), daughter (teen), MIL (70s), and me (30s). When we checked in, Ravit was there to greet us and show us around! It was extremely clean and came with so many amenities - games, books, multiple TVs, information about the local area, maps of hikes and hike information, a two-person hammock (and boy did we use it!!), copious outdoor seating near the river, ice trays (so many places don't supply ice trays!), and, my very favorite, a fan in each room for white noise. The beds & pillows were very comfortable, and we took advantage of both the deck and the lower-level outdoor seating area. Shower pressure was great, and everything you could want for a nice shower or bath was supplied. There was even air freshener in the bathroom! The courtyard is also a great hideout when the elk pass through so you can get good pictures but stay at a safe distance. And we did see elk pass through! A big bull came right by chasing two does. The house is situated right next to the highway to Beaver Meadows entrance, so the street is busy. But you couldn't hear any outside traffic noise from the inside. Here's what I wish I had known: The house is two floors (one bath upstairs, no bath downstairs) with a big staircase. My MIL has mobility issues, so she took the primary, but the bed was a bit high for her with her issues, and the stairs were difficult. It wasn't the most accessible. If it was just us three, it would have been perfect. Will stay again! TRY THE SPA!

Great Stay in Estes
Property was nice and clean. Easy to get in and out. One recommendation to owners would be to have some blankets in the living room area. Fireplace was not working and it got chilly in the evenings. Would have been nice to have some blankets around.

We had a great stay at Ravit's place by the river. We stayed 4 nights, and the house was very clean and had everything we needed, as well as being located close to everything downtown. In the evening deer came down the hill to drink out of the river and were great to watch.

Great Estes Family Home
We spent five nights here with our two grandaughters and enjoyed it immensely. It was away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but an easy drive there and to other attractions when we wanted. The girls are under 10 and Estes Fun City was a short walk so in high demand from these two. The only downside we experienced is the traffic noise from Hwy 34 made it so we didn't feel much like sitting out on the deck or patio. I don't count this against the property as about everything in Estes is close to busy roads in summer. Wish I'd brought my fly fishing gear as the river in the back yard is open for fishing! Overall a great stay and easy to work with the owners.

Great spot for a little time away
Came to Estes for a larger family reunion, this was a great place to retreat to after hiking in RMNP and other family events. Loved listening to the water flow by at night while enjoying the deck or porch. Kitchen had everything we needed, although we didn't use it much after breakfast as we were out and about enjoying the town which was an easy walk away. Bedrooms were comfortable, the shared bathroom was also appointed nicely, even with spa tips!

Just what we needed
I can't say enough about how much I and my extended family enjoyed our stay. The rooms were comfortable. The kitchen actually had things that worked and you could use. The cupboards were as well stocked as any VRBO I've stayed at. And the cherry on top was the on-site spa. I gifted one of my sons a massage and the staff was wonderful. And as a side note - I'm a HUGE Big Lebowski fan. My young cousin was trying to get a kids movie playing downstairs and couldn't figure out the DVD player and eject the disc that was in it. I was wearing a favorite shirt depicting an iconic scene from the movie. I pushed a button and that very scene on my shirt began playing. This Dude was meant to stay here, abiding...

Great location & they thought of everything
Location was a short 5 minute walk to the heart of downtown Estes Park, and even closer to restaurants/breweries. The owners thought of everything from fans, to coolers, coffee, and tylenol. Backs up to a rolling stream. Some road noise l, but the stream blocks most of it out. Overall we had a wonderful stay.

nice for a quiet get-away for up to 6 adults comfortably
nice place, very clean, quiet during our stay, interesting hand-crafted decor and older period furniture, comfortable beds, good attention to extras for convenience and outdoor fun, well-stocked kitchen. Typical sleeper sofa was not so good for adult , but 3 queen+ beds were fine for remaining 3 pairs of adults. Easy drive to downtown Estes Park and Rocky Mtn National Park.
