Overall, we had a great stay at Fawn Valley. The location has 360* views of the mountains which can’t be beat. Our kids enjoyed the heated pool and it was never overly crowded. The condo was comfy and provided a nice place to relax after days of walking around downtown Estes Park, swimming in the pool, and our most strenuous day at Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s very conveniently located just a mile from the entrance. The only items we would like to note so they can be addressed by management to make the stay even better for the next guests, and the reasons for a 4 star review instead of 5:
- the shower in the bathroom off the bedroom is not working properly. The temperature of the water could not be controlled, going between flashes of excruciatingly hot water to instantly unbearably freezing. We only used it once each (to make sure it wasn’t a user error) and then we switched to using the shower in the other bathroom. Someone could be injured by the scalding water.
- the oven doesn’t get up to temperature and took a long time to cook food, no potholders
- there is no screen door on the patio door so to be able to hear the river you have to keep the door open with no screen. We ended up with some flying bugs inside because of this.
- the picture of the unit shows a wood burning stove. We may or may not have used it since it’s summer, but cool at night, and it’s not in the unit at all. Pictures of listing and the VRBO listing itself need to be updated.
