“My fiancé and I stayed in the River Cabin and we couldn’t ask for a better experience. The cabin was perfect. It’s a great location because it’s next to a river and within 10min of Estes park. Checking in and out was super easy! Would highly recommend staying here!”
“This place is amazing in so many ways. You will not be disappointed with your choice to stay here. We rented the river cabin and I was blown away with how beautiful it was. Was very clean and has everything you need for your stay. Kitchen is stocked with essentials and the bathroom has essentials as well. The hot tub and views from the deck are very beautiful. We will definitely be back!”
“We just visited for the second time. We stayed in the mountain cabin once in 2018 and then again this year in 2023. I know there has been a change in ownership between these 2 trips. The cabin was great and the same as we remembered it. A note that the bed is quite small for 2 taller, bigger adults. We are 6’2 and 5’9. We love the hot tub and it is very private in the mountain cabin. The other cabins hot tub look out over the river but they are not as private. I did feel like I didn’t want to go down to the river because I didn’t want to wreck the other cabins privacy. The mountain cabin used to have a deck but that is now gone. That was sad for us even in winter we enjoyed coffee on the private deck looking over the river. You could see the river from a tiny skinny part of the yard but you couldn’t sit there and relax. This is the reason I took a star off, if I haven’t had visited before I may not have noticed. Inside is small and cozy and has most of what you need. I do love the cozy robes and extra blankets!”
“Rustic, Cozy cabin and decorated perfectly. Annie is very thoughtful in supplying day to day things you wouldn't really want to pack making for a relaxed and convenient vacation getaway. Not far from Estes park. The only reason I give a 4 and not a 5 is because the closeness of cabins and being right on the highway. Its not as secluded as one might think but does have its privacy. We enjoyed our stay very much.”
“We had such a great getaway at Annie’s Mountain Retreat! While it was very cold up in Estes this time of year it was still beautiful up in the mountains and very cozy in the River Cabin. The cabin is rustic and charming. Plenty of towels, stocked kitchen, good sized fridge and an oven/cooktop. They have a collection of movies, books and board games to enjoy and they even have cable! The bed was very comfortable we had no issues sleeping and the private deck and hot tub was amazing, especially with the view of the river! You can tell they have made much needed updates to the property and the cabins. Based on old photos of the river cabin you can tell they put in all new flooring on the main level (no more carpet) and it looks like they updated the shower! New privacy fencing for the cabins, new decks and new concrete steps and retaining wall down to the river. On their website it says the tiny cabin is still under maintenance but you can see it when you walk down to the river and from the outside it looks beautiful. We can’t wait to come back and try out that one! Sadly we didn’t see any wildlife however, down at the river you can clearly see the game trails that come through there and I can imagine how amazing it would be sipping coffee on those decks watching the elk or deer. Again it was too cold for that in the mornings so we will be back for warmer weather!”
“My husband and I will definitely be back, we stayed in the River Cabin and really enjoyed the back deck with a beautiful view of the river. There was a hot tub, propane fire pit and a variety of chairs and tables. Everything in the cabin was so cute and comfortable.”
“This was a wonderful cabin, it was well stocked and had absolutely everything we could want (except a pen to write in the guest book). Thank you for a very memorable visit and we hope to be back again next year to enjoy your hospitality.”
