Family Thanksgiving
We had a wonderful stay at Rivendell! The whole multi-generational family(14 of us) was able to stay in comfort while relaxing, playing and enjoying the property, inside and out! The kitchen is well stocked and made it easy to prepare a full Thanksgiving meal! We hope to stay again in the summer!

Beautiful cabin in the woods
Our favorite place was the glassed in sunroom over looking the mountain’s, so beautiful. Our family of 14, 12 adults and 2 under the age of 2 loved staying in this cabin. It’s 3 floors, all with at least 1 bath and a sitting room and was perfect for our needs. The kitchen is well equipped, we actually had our Thanksgiving Dinner there. We would love to meet our family there again next year. Trish was so good to work with, 😊 Terry & Jeanette

Family Retreat was a success!
Mom & Dad's 50th anniversary celebration was great! We had 3 generations in the house and the whole family enjoyed the trip :-) We hiked all over (Bear Lake and Alberta Falls were our favorite spots) and saw elk, moose and mule deer! Wildfires were happening during our stay but Trish kept us up to date about all the ongoings and made sure we were safe and well taken care of during our stay. Would 100% stay again if we find ourselves traveling westward in the future. Highly Recommend!

Nice large house in a great location
There were 10 adults for this trip and we all had enough room. The bedrooms are a nice size and the living spaces were wonderful (especially the porch area). It was nice that we were so close to RMNP too, as we were hiking every day. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic Family Time at Rivendell
What a wonderful time our family had at Rivendell. Everything was perfect - from the amenities to the location - we couldn't have been more pleased. There was room for everyone to be together as well as places to go to be alone. The location has beautiful scenery and is so quiet. The location also provides very easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park as well as the town of Estes Park. It is a place for us to return to in the future. Thank you.

July 5-13 family reunion
We chose this property specifically because of the location outside the hubbub of Estes Park and yet near enough to be no trouble to get into town whenever we needed to. It has nice large bedrooms and a large wrap around porch. The back sitting room that overlooks the back wooded area of the property is enclosed which was nice on cooler evenings. Our large family had plenty of space. Bring supplies such as shampoo and extra towels - or plan to do laundry often if you’re a large family. The trailhead at the end of the road - about 1/4 mile away - leads right into RMNP, which is a huge plus when at the height of the season and time entry passes. We saw moose, deer, coyotes, bighorn sheep, wild turkeys and lots of stars at night. Would stay again - at a less crowded time of year in Estes Park.

Amazing Accommodation
Family from CA, AZ, and WA came together to stay for our brother's wedding and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kids had a blast exploring the outdoor space and playing in the game rooms. The beds were so comfy and the amazingly stocker kitchen worked well to cook many meals for many people. Would absolutely stay again.

This cabin was so great for our large family. The location was perfect and close to RMNP and Estes Park. Wildlife in the back yard most every day. We had no problems with the cabin, but had to contact Sharon, the manager, just for a couple of things and she quickly responded and helped us. We will return to this cabin again if we can. Absolutely wonderful!

Family vacation in Estes
Took the kids and grandkids for a few days getaway and stayed in this amazing cabin. So much room for the family as far as bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. Kitchen very well stocked with all the utensils and such to cook like it was one's own kitchen. The back enclosed porch was the family favorite - watching the hummingbirds and view of the Rocky Mountains - just beautiful. I recommend this cabin to anyone.

Rivendell did not disappoint!
Our family truly were blown away by the stunning views of the Rocky Mountains from the porch and master bedroom deck of Rivendell. The house had every amenity we could possibly enjoy including two picnic tables. We really enjoyed eating our meals outdoors on these tables while enjoying the many deer grazing the property and views of the surrounding mountains. Also enjoyed the sounds of birdsong and insects emanating from the land around Rivendell, which is kept natural. We have a family member who is wheelchair bound and it was very easy for her to navigate the house. Can’t recommend Rivendell highly enough! Lots of great memories made this trip.
