The fireplace was nice and cozy and the kitchen was large and easy to make meals in. As others have said, the lack of locks in bathrooms was not ideal and the walls are thin, so you can hear every little thing. But overall, it was a nice place for a quick mountain getaway for our family. We felt it had everything we needed. Host's response: Thank you for all of your feedback we appreciate it. We are so happy you enjoyed the fireplace and the great kitchen. Ronda Stayed Oct, 2024 Review This was great much better then a hotel and same price. Thanks Host's response: Exactly - much better than a hotel. We hope more people find out about SkyRun Vacation Rentals here in Estes Park Lori Stayed Sep, 2024 Review My nephew kept saying this place is so nice. Host's response: That is great to hear. I like this cabin too! SkyRun Rocky Mountain would love to host your next trip to Estes Park. Tiffiny Stayed Sep, 2024 Review This was great place to stay. The house was clean and perfect for a family. The wildlife in the area was so neat to see. Host's response: We are happy to hear this home was perfect for your family. It is always fun to see the wildlife. SkyRun Rocky Mountain would love to host your next trip to Estes Park. Jessica Stayed Aug, 2024 Review This was a great cozy place. It worked really well for 5 people. I highly recommend this place and hope to stay again in the future. Host's response: We would love to host you all again. Lazy Elk is a great spot in the trees. Yet close to the town of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park Rebecca Stayed Aug, 2024 Review We had a great time at this location. It is very close to the Beaver Meadows entrance station of RMNP and easy drive back to downtown Estes Park. Home was comfortable and clean with plenty of included supplies. We had 4 adults and two small kids in our group and this house easily accommodated everything we needed. We did not have any need to contact the host while there, but they did reach out to us regarding a nearby forest fire and road closure, which we appreciated.The only thing not matching the listing was that photos showed a swingset that was not there, but that was not a huge issue for us. Host's response: Sorry we were a little slow taking that picture of the swing set down- the owners took it down for safety reasons. We are glad the rest of the home worked for your family. I love this cabin Nicholas Or Mary Stayed Jul, 2024 Review Spacious place to stay for our family. They were very responsive to our questions. Host's response: Thank you Nicholas & Mary- we appreciate your review - We wish could have gotten a 5 star review - Please let us know how we can improve your experience for your next RMNP SkyRun Estes Park visit. Darlene Stayed Jun, 2024 Review very convenient Host's response: Thank you Darlene - Lazy Elk Retreat in Estes Park is kind of off the beaten path but close enough to the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and restaurants. Amanda Stayed Jun, 2024 Review Great place to stay, clean and felt right at home. Host's response: Glad you felt at home! SkyRun Rocky Mountain would love to host your next trip to Estes Park! Elvis Stayed May, 2024 Review Skyrun was nice and a great location. The cabin and fireplace make you feel at home, and the two showers are nice for multiple people. I did reach out to the host on an issue of using the Apple TV (someone previously signed in with a vpn) i ended up figuring out but the host never responded. Nice to have a grill too, but it was extremely dirty and not cleaned before we got there. Host's response: Thank you for your review. We are glad the fireplace made you feel at home. Your message about the Apple TV was sent after hours, the text sent with your door code tells you how to contact us after hours. Your message should have been answered the next day, I apologize that it was missed. I will remind our outside services team to take care of the grills before guest arrivals. Mina Stayed May, 2024 Review Wonderful place. It was the PERFECT home base to come back to mid day during Rocky Mountain hikes. Our toddler was obsessed with all the wildlife- birds, deer, chipmunks that came right into the yards and he loved watching them through the window. Host's response: Thank you for the great review - It's wonderful to share the wildlife with people that don't normally get to see it. We'd Love to host you again soon. Daniel Stayed May, 2024 Review We LOVED the place! It was a very nicely kept home that we thoroughly enjoyed. Host's response: Thank you for your review. We are glad you loved this home. SkyRun Rocky Mountain would love to host your next trip to Estes Park. Jeremy Stayed Apr, 2024 Review Great stay highly recommended will stay again soon Host's response: Thank you for your review. We would love to host you again soon. Jeremiah Stayed Apr, 2024 Review Great and relaxing place to stay! Other than unclear instructions on how to work the fireplace, everything was clearly labeled, simple and easy to use. It was a nice stay and would recommend. Host's response: Always nice to have a relaxing vacation! There is an on/off switch on the right hand side of the frame for the fireplace. It is black and blends in with the frame so you have to feel for it. We would love to host you again. Sarah Stayed Jan, 2024 Review This cabin is newly updated and gorgeous. It was more spacious than we anticipated, especially the living area and kitchen. It was also pristinely clean. It was really cold during our stay, and the electric blanket was a nice bonus. We have three young children, and the setup was fantastic for us. This cabin is a great location in Estes Park. It is close to everything, and only a five minute drive from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. We would stay here again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend that you do too! Host's response: Thank you so much for a glowing review- We appreciate ALL of your feed back. We love when others love our properties. We'd love to host you again soon. Bonnie Stayed Dec, 2023 Review A very comfortable home for our large family. The town and national park are only a short drive away. After a day of hiking, we played outside in the snow and snuggled up by the fire! Host's response: Thank you, Bonnie! We are so delighted to hear you had a great time while visiting Estes Park. We would love to host you again. Esther Stayed Dec, 2023 Review muchsimas gracias Host's response: We would love to host you again. Cliff Stayed Dec, 2023 Review Cozy place with a great kitchen! We sat around the fireplace and played board games on a cold night. Just what we wanted. Host's response: Sitting around the fireplace playing board games is a great way to spend time with family. SkyRun Estes Park would love to host your next trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Adolph Stayed Nov, 2023 Review Beautiful cabin in a beautiful location. Cant wait to come back again! Will definitely recommend Skyrun to friends and family. Host's response: Thank you Adolph - We'd love to host you at any of our SkyRun Estes Park homes Brian Stayed Oct, 2023 Review Just what we were looking for. Very cozy and feels secluded, without being too far from downtown. Host's response: We are glad Lazy Elk is just what you were looking for! SkyRun Estes Park would love to host you again. Kathryn Stayed Aug, 2023 Review Extremely clean home with great amenities. The only downside is that the drive to get there has been a bit washed out. Host's response: Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the home! The rains we have been getting lately (it is currently monsoon season in Colorado) really have been wreaking havoc on our driveways in town, but the season should be over soon. SkyRun Estes Park would love to host you again. Adriana Stayed Aug, 2023 Review Loved this property! Host's response: Adriana Thank you for all of your feedback. We appreciate you choosing SkyRun Estes Park. Ryan Stayed Jul, 2023 Review Nice location for Rocky Mountain National Park entrance. Very close. Host's response: Thank you Ryan we'll pass along all of the review to the owners. Kathleen Stayed Jul, 2023 Review Had a great stay with 4 adults and 2 kids. Amazing location, 10 minutes or less from everything we wanted to do in Estes Park. We saw elk every day - would definitely come back! Host's response: Thank you Kathleen for a great review - Estes Park is the place to see Elk - SkyRun is happy you want to come back as we would love to host you again. Jesus Stayed Jun, 2023 Review Nice place to relax, perfect location, not too far from downtown. Lovely place to bring the family, loved the spacious kitchen it had. Host's response: Jesus, We are so glad you had a great time during your visit to Estes Park, It is always super nice to be close to downtown and all the shopping areas it is super convenient. I hope you had some delicious meals with your family! We hope to host you again soon. Mark Stayed Jun, 2023 Review Close to the RMNP and provided the basic amenities. Host's response: Thank you for your review. Come back and visit again soon, we would love to host you again! SkyRun Estes Park Hairong C. Stayed Jun, 2023 Cozy and convenient This house is very close to Rocky Mountain national park entrance. Very convenient to restaurants and grocery stores. Friendly neighborhood with wild animal's visit. Cute deer showed up in front of living room window to say hi with. Kids enjoined the place and we are very happy with the stays. The only complain is the ground daybed mattress (it is broken). Host's response: Thank you Hairong. We love all the wildlife and the new baby's are the cutest. We hope you have the opportunity to return to Estes Park and we would love to host you again. Mark Stayed Mar, 2023 Review SkyRun and its staff do such a great job at accommodating guests. Properties are fully furnished and include all the necessary details for a relaxing stay. I was most impressed with the friendliness and promptness of the team to respond to communication, questions and issues. Highly recommended! Host's response: Mark, Thank you so much! We truly appreciate this feedback. It makes us extremely content that our staff was able to provide excellent customer service. Please come back soon! Skyrun Estes Park would love to host you again! Anthony Stayed Dec, 2022 Review Great spot. Id do it again. Host's response: Thank you Anthony. We look forward to your return and have a wonderful winter. Jim and Nancy H. Stayed Nov, 2022 Beautiful Very beautiful place lots of fire wood to use just a few things get some new frying pans a cookie sheet some salt and pepper other than that it was a beautiful place we saw elk deer turkeys and a bob car so cool Host's response: SkyRun is so happy you enjoyed your stay at Lazy Elk. We will pass it on to the owner. Hurry back , we would love to host you again.. Jared Stayed Nov, 2022 Review Clean cabin. Close to town. Wildlife in the area. Everything we wanted! Host's response: Excellent, Thank you so much for a great review. SkyRun Estes Park would love to host you again soon. Luis D. Stayed Oct, 2022 If God's willing we're doing it again next year That was wild Turkey backyard and a big elk such a beautiful place we loved it my siblings and me had a great time they are exactly how they show on pictures thank you so much Host's response: Thank you for staying with SkyRun Estes Park and the great review. Looking forward to seeing you next year.Cheers, Dawn Marie Susan B. Stayed Oct, 2022 Great location for easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park Great location with easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. We loved the wildlife in the neighborhood - saw deer, elk, and wild turkeys! Everything was as advertised - very nice accommodations, quiet location, definitely recommend. Host's response: We are so happy that the wild life was accommodating. We still get excited seeing the Elk fight and the new babies in the spring. We'd love to host you again soon. Jeffrey Stayed Oct, 2022 Review The home was clean when we arrived. We did need to call for maintenance on a few items and a maintenance person either came out that day or the next day, even on a Sunday. Host's response: Thank you for staying with SkyRun Estes Park. We would love to host you again. Kate A. Stayed Aug, 2022 Perfect Only recommendation is to have some umbrellas there and some extra throw pillows! Otherwise it was really easy to access really easy to get into very beautiful outside Host's response: Thank you we are always looking for ways to improve our properties. Happy you enjoyed your stay and please let SkyRun host you again soon. Adrian F. Stayed Aug, 2022 Location is excellent! Very nice cabin. Very close to east entrance, just 5 minutes away. Nice amenities, nice wood fireplace (w/provided wood), outside grill (itself was very clean, some rental grills are not that way). Family room had a very large TV, WiFi worked well with 5+ devices. Mattresses were very comfortable. I thought the small electric water heater would be a problem, however it kept up with the whole family in terms of showers after a long hike and using the washer/dryer. The secondary bathroom's shower is very small, however the primary shower was more than adequate. The only thing I would say was a disappointment was the kitchen. The photos show a very large kitchen (and it is), however the secondary oven doesn't function, cabinets needed repair, and the kitchen itself was not really well stocked (could use newer pots/pans/equipment). Primary oven worked so it didn't affect our stay. Everyday there was wildlife (mostly deer) walking across the property. Overall an excellent stay and location cannot be beat Host's response: Thank you for the review. We were not aware of the convection not functioning we will have our Maintenance crew check on that and the kitchen cabinets. We are always looking to improve our properties, Thank you for the feedback. We'd love to host you again soon. Ron Y. Stayed Aug, 2022 Relaxing place Spacious, and a great place to relax after some long hikes at RMNP (also nice for acclimating to the altitude! )Would come again! Host's response: That's an awesome review thank you for choosing SkyRun Estes Park we hope to host you again soon. Joaquin Stayed Jul, 2022 Review Place was great. Clean quick drive to downtown shops and rmnp. We hope to stay again Host's response: Thank you for staying with SkyRun Estes Park. We would love to host you again. Joseph Stayed Jul, 2022 Review very nice spot close to downtown estes and great hiking Host's response: Thank you for your review. SkyRun Estes Park would love to host you again. Randall P. Stayed Jul, 2022 Wonderful Seeing all the Elk and deer made this property even better Host's response: Wonderful to hear you experienced the magic of this home. Hurry back SkyRun would love to host you again. Frank Stayed Jul, 2022 Review We enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and reasonably close to town. We would stay there again. Host's response: Thank you for your review. We would love to host your next trip to Estes Park Andrew Stayed Jun, 2022 Review this place was amazing. very spacious and comfortable Host's response: We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with SkyRun, Andrew! We'd love to host you again, come back and visit us in Estes Park soon! Julie Stayed Jun, 2022 Review Lovely home where we enjoyed the deck and the beds were comfy. Location was great. Only downside was the road was beat up and our sports car wasnt made for it. Overall, very clean and had everything you need. The breezes through the home were lovely too! Host's response: We are glad you were able to enjoy the deck at this great home! Estes Park is a rural mountain community, most homes are are dirt roads which can be difficult for low riding vehicles. Thank you for staying with SkyRun Estes Park. We would love to host you again. Daniel Stayed Jun, 2022 Review Spacious, accommodating cabin 10 minutes from the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park. It was the perfect place to meet up with family for a vacation/hiking trip. It was a bit lacking in amenities but other than that a great stay. Host's response: Thanks Daniel, we're glad you enjoyed your stay with SkyRun! Shana Stayed Jun, 2022 Review Plenty of space, quiet peaceful location Host's response: We are glad you had plenty of space and enjoyed the peaceful location. We would love to host you again. Saundra H. Stayed Jun, 2022 Beautiful home, Very Comfortable The pictures of this home are very accurate. The inside was clean, and very nicely decorated. The king bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. We were very pleased with our stay! The outside of the home and the neighborhood did not have great visual appeal, but the inside and the convenient location definitely made up for it. Host's response: Thank you for staying with SkyRun Estes Park. We would love to host you again. Carol L. Stayed May, 2022 Beautiful cabin with great touches and great location! Beautiful cabin with great touches and great location!Submitted: Jan 3, 2018 Stayed: December 2017 Source: VRBO, from HomeAway Ramit Stayed May, 2022 Review Very nice place, very spacious. The 3rd bedroom is tiny and the bed isn't the most comfortable. It also has a skylight so it wakes you up at like am. There are 2 heaters but they weren't very effective while we were there. It also suddenly got super cold so that might have something to do with it.The place was very clean though and had everything we needed. The location is great, near the downtown. Host's response: We are glad you had plenty of room for your family. This home is mainly heated by the wood burning fireplace. We would love to host you again. Sagar Stayed May, 2022 Review Well managed, clean, and picturesque cabin. Offers great views of the Rockies and a short drive to downtown Estes. 8 guests is pushing it but it's perfect for 6 imo. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are planning to stay here again in the future. Host's response: Thanks for the great feedback, Sagar! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with SkyRun. We'd be delighted to host you again in the future! Chris Stayed Mar, 2022 Review Great location minutes from RMNP. Cozy cabin, very clean and comfortable. The house doesn't have central heat, so be prepared to rely on radiators and space heaters. There were a couple of minor things they didn't have provided in the kitchen. Overall an excellent experience. Thank you for a home base for our family mountain vacation. Host's response: We are happy to hear you enjoyed your family mountain vacation in this comfortable, cozy cabin. In addition to the radiators and space heaters there is a wood burning fireplace but this home does not have central heat. SkyRun Estes Park would love to host you again. Lisa S. Stayed Jan, 2022 Christmas holiday We stayed for Christmas and loved the cabin. The photos make it appear more secluded so we were surprised to be in a thickly settled neighborhood but with the Elk and Mule deer walking through the yard, we couldnt have been more happy. It was also nice to be so close to town. The hot water tap was my favorite feature and want to have one at home now. I would recommend. Host's response: Thank you for staying with SkyRun! We're very glad you had a wonderful stay! We're happy you enjoyed the home and wildlife. We hope you can stay again! James Stayed Jan, 2022 Review Perfect stay. It snowed everyday. Fireplace was great. Plenty of room for our group of five. We cooked most meals and enjoyed the abundant wildlife that greeted us every morning. Due to the heavy snow a 4-wheel vehicle was necessary. Our family loved our stay and we'll be back next year. Host's response: Thank you for the great feedback, James! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with SkyRun, we'd be happy to host you again soon! Shuaib Stayed Dec, 2021 Review This is a beautiful cabin. Quiet neighborhood, and close to downtown. The cabin was very clean and spacious. Host's response: Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed this beautiful cabin. It is nice to find a quiet neighbor hood close to town. We hope you will stay with SkyRun Estes Park again. ThantZin Stayed Nov, 2021 Review Quiet neighborhood, and clean house Host's response: We are happy to hear you enjoyed this property. SkyRun Estes Park would love to host you again. James V. Stayed Oct, 2021 Perfect! We loved all the amenities this property had to offer! The location was fantastic and the cabin was super clean! We hated to have to leave! Host's response: We are glad you enjoyed this cabin and all of its amenities. We hope you will stay with SkyRun Estes Park again. Ruth K. Stayed Sep, 2021 Home off the beaten path We enjoyed our 3 night stay. Home was as advertised and we slept well. This home was very clean and has nice comfortable furnishings As previously mentioned there is a short bit of road that is pretty rough but this should not pose a problem for any vehicle. Customer service was responsive when we contacted them. We really liked the location as you were away from the hustle and bustle of Estes Park and yet minutes to access anything you may need. If we were to return to the area we would love to stay here again. Host's response: Thank you for staying with us, Ruth! We're so glad to hear you had a fantastic stay! It is a beautiful place to unwind! Brittany Stayed Sep, 2021 Review Awesome layout. Easy to find. Clean comfy and fun. The road is a little rough, but you are on it for a very short time. If you are seeking quiet, know that there is a lot of road noise. Great views, but a lot of traffic noise. Host's response: We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with SkyRun, Brittany! We hope to see you again soon! Dan J. Stayed Aug, 2021 Getaway Loved the location and the home was just the mountain retreat we were looking for. Very clean. Had everything we needed! Host's response: We're so glad you had a wonderful time at Lazy Elk Retreat, Dan! We would love to host you again soon! Adam Stayed Aug, 2021 Review Clean and in a great location. Host's response: Thanks Adam, we're glad you enjoyed your stay with SkyRun! Heidi Stayed Aug, 2021 Review This is a great place to stay, it is very spacious and the location is excellent. We were two families traveling together, cooked our meals at this place and had plenty of room to space out. Great place and we highly recommend. Host's response: So happy to hear you enjoyed this property and had plenty of room for both families to relax. We hope you stay with us again. Will Stayed Aug, 2021 Review awesome! Host's response: Thanks Will! We're glad you had an awesome time with us! Julie Stayed Jul, 2021 Review Fantastic location and very clean accommodations. My family had a wonderful time watching the deer and elk eat in the mornings and evenings. Host's response: Hi Juilie! We are so glad everything met your expectations. It's fun to see the wildlife and enjoy the beautiful scenery! Dillon Stayed Jun, 2021 Review Gorgeous view, easy to get around and easy to find. Out of the hustle and bustle of Estes but so close to downtown that you get a full, authentic Estes Park experience Host's response: We are glad you enjoyed your stay at our SkyRun managed property. Nicholas Stayed Jun, 2021 Review Close to town yet a country feel! Host's response: Thanks Nicholas. Happpy you enjoyed your stay! Dione/SkyRun Melissa L. Stayed Jun, 2021 Loved this house My family and I stayed at this house for our vacation. We loved it! The house was clean and so cozy and beautiful! So many details thought out in the house to make it such a comfortable stay! It is in a great location, just minutes from town and from Rocky Mountain Park. We saw a bunch of elk in the yard everyday. The property manager was so helpful and accommodation! Would highly recommend! Host's response: Thanks for the great feedback, Melissa! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us (and the wildlife)! We hope to host you again soon. John W. Stayed Jun, 2021 Great place This home was even better than expected. Comfortably fit 6 adults and was close to all things you would want to do in Estes Park. Would definitely recommend. Host's response: Happy you enjoyed your stay with SkyRun Estes Park! Please come back and visit anytime! Dione/SkyRun Judy M. Stayed Jun, 2021 Dream Vacation Beautiful location and environment. Loved waking up to the Elk & wild life. The decor of your cabin was so pretty & the fireplace was so cozy. The only down side was no locks on the interior doors & the sliding glass bedroom door didnt close all the way or lock. Host's response: Thank you for choosing a SkyRun property for your stay in Estes Park! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! Timothy Stayed Jun, 2021 Review Very beautiful cabin in a beautiful town. It was super clean when we got there and everything was wonderful. Host's response: We're happy to see you had a wonderful stay at our SkyRun vacation property. We hope to see you again soon! Logan Stayed May, 2021 Review Awesome location for hiking and spending time at RMNP. Convenient to Estes Park and all sorts of things to do. Highly recommended Mandi Stayed May, 2021 Review The location of this cabin was perfect for getting out of town and into the mountains for a few days. It was close enough to restaurants and coffee shops to let us indulge and have variety, but also removed enough to be surrounded by wildlife and quiet. Also within 5 - 10 minutes drives of beautiful hikes! We did encounter a few hiccups (broken coffee machine, malfunctioning toilet), but everything was dealt with within a few hours! The fireplace and grill both were excellent amenities, the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and grilling, and the rooms were cozy and comfortable. Host's response: Mandi was a great guest. Pam Stayed Apr, 2021 Review This cabin was very nice, very clean, and had pretty good amount of space.A couple things to note. The spare bedrooms do not have dressers for clothing/storage. The swing set was missing (could be a winter thing) and there is no outside fires (firepit) allowed.Our stay was amazing. It snowed every day. We had deer, turkeys, and Elk stop by the house. Will definitely be back! Host's response: Thank you, Pam! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at the cabin and hope that you're able to make that return trip soon! We aren't able to permit outdoor fires due to local fire bans, but I will pass your other feedback on, we appreciate it! Elli Stayed Apr, 2021 Review cozy cabin, very clean. convenient location to everything. lots of elk and turkeys in the yard! Elizabeth Stayed Mar, 2021 Review Lovely location and great space! Host's response: Thank you, Elizabeth! We're so glad that you were happy with the home and hope that you'll be back to stay with us again soon! Cheryl Stayed Mar, 2021 Review Amenities, location, and wildlife added up to a low-key, relaxing break. Melena Stayed Mar, 2021 Review The Lazy Elk Retreat exceeded our expectations. The proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park was hard to beat. We enjoyed watching the elk, turkeys, bunnies, and deer wander the property. The full sized kitchen was great for staying in and cooking meals. If you need a clean and cozy home to stay at while visiting the park and want to avoid crowds and eating out in our current covid world, the Lazy Elk Retreat is the place for you. John Stayed Feb, 2021 Review Big space lots of amenities and very clean shaun m. Stayed Feb, 2021 Stay in Estes park The house was great. The scenery was incredible. Thank you for a painless experience!!!! Jackie S. Stayed Jan, 2021 Great stay! We really enjoyed our stay here! There was so much wildlife around to watch! I would highly recommend. Veronica V. Stayed Jan, 2021 Perfect Vacation This has been one of the best days ! Seen the Elk every morning and sliding on snow was amazing. We hope to come back !! Host's response: Thank you, Veronica! We're so glad that you enjoyed the home and also hope that you'll be making that return trip soon! Heather Stayed Jan, 2021 Review This is a Great Location! Makes you feel at home and the wildlife is great! Great access to town and beautiful views around! ROBIN H. Stayed Jan, 2021 Sweet cabin Sweet cabin, very comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed watching wildlife move through the yard (deer and turkeys), and sitting by picture window near fireplace and watching clouds move over the mountains. Jason W. Stayed Dec, 2020 Wonderful This is our second time staying at this property. The location and cabin are awesome. Would definitely recommend. Only down side was the furnace didnt heat the entire place well but there were space heater and a fireplace that worked to do the extra needed. Will stay again. Host's response: So glad you enjoyed your stay. Usually lots of wildlife in that area also. Samantha L. Stayed Oct, 2020 Estes stay Such a great cabin, plenty of space and super clean. Great location. Our family loved it. Calvin H. Stayed Oct, 2020 Nice Place - needs some furniture updating Overall, the property is well-kept and mostly private. We did some food preparation, but mostly ate out. Kitchen pots and pans show quite a bit of life with scratched bottoms, etc. Our biggest issue was with the family room furniture. The seats in the couch and matching chair are so worn out that the pillows you see in the photo are required to be sat on in order not to sink in a hole. As those were the only seats, other than a rocking chair which was okay, we constantly fought with getting pillows arranged right so that we were comfortable.Perhaps our age (74) and home facilities affect our opinion about the bathrooms. We are accustomed to seat-level toilets and those in the property are the normal sized which were somewhat difficult to use minus a neaby grab bar. Host's response: Thanks so much for the constructive suggestions. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Chris Stayed Oct, 2020 Review Great house to stay in! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Bruce Stayed Oct, 2020 Review Clean, comfortable, and fantastic location. The descriptions of the place in the listing did not mention the wildlife that came to see us. Turkeys every morning, a young elk bull one morning. Bill Stayed Sep, 2020 Review The cabin is very nice and clean. It is a perfect location for going into Rocky Mountain National Park. The kitchen is especially nice. We cooked all of our meals there and had plenty of room to spread out. The washer and dryer were also great to have. We also had daily visits from elk, deer, and turkeys. Kenneth Stayed Sep, 2020 Review Our trip to Estes Park started off somewhat chaotic as the Lazy Elk cabin had heating issues that were not easily remedied. This would not have been an issue except that we arrived the day after the early September snow where the evening temps were down in the 20s... Rachel from SkyRun moved us to a very nice unit at the Peaks at Marys Lake where we spent two nights and then on to another unit there for the third night. Although this was a bit disruptive, I commend SkyRun and specifically Rachel for doing a great job to accommodate us. They are a class act and I would both recommend and repeat the use of their services. All three of the units we visited were spotless and very nice. We had a great week in Colorado complete with fire smoke, early snow and eventual sun! Host's response: Thank you, Kenneth. We so appreciated your understanding and patience through the unexpected disruption to your original plans, and are very happy to hear that you were comfortable in the condos at Marys Lake and were still able to enjoy your time in Estes Park. We would love the opportunity to host you again! Beautiful Home! We took in Lake Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park. Our favorite time was just hanging out in this beautiful home! Beautiful Place! Thank you for providing such a beautiful place to stay. We fell in love with this place. It was very hard to pack up and head home! Rosa T. Stayed Jul, 2020 Vacation time The cabin is very pretty and big, surrounded by trees, we really enjoyed staying with you guys. Host's response: So glad you enjoyed your stay at Lazy Elk. Please come visit again soon. Elisha Stayed Jun, 2020 Review We had a great time, the space was just the outdoorsy, but cozy space we were looking for! Sarah S. Stayed Jun, 2020 Beautiful Place to Stay The property was beautiful inside and had a nice little patio with a table to sit at night and watch the sun go down. Everything was clean and nice. Would recommend. Host's response: Thank you, Sarah! We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay at the Lazy Elk Retreat and hope that you'll be back for a return visit soon! April Stayed Jun, 2020 Review This is a perfect fit for a family with kiddos. We have a family of 5 and everyone was able to have the own bed. The kitchen was great to cook in, as we did every evening with open windows. Overall, this house has great amenities and is very close to town. We enjoyed our stay here. Cherri A. Stayed Jun, 2020 June Vacation We LOVED our stay here! Tina was so kind and very helpful! The house was comfortable, very clean and kitchen was amazing! We enjoyed our dinners together at the dining table! There were elk everyday right in the yard and beautiful lilacs and poppies! It really was lovely! It's a short drive into town and the park and a grocery store very close by! We'll definitely be back! ? Host's response: Thank you, Cherri! We're so glad that you enjoyed your time at the Lazy Elk Retreat and hope that you'll be back to stay with us again soon! Kyle R. Stayed Jun, 2020 Great place and amazing scenery The property was excellent. The location was excellent. While onsight, it was hard to contact manager as there were a few small things wrong with the property that we wanted to notify the manager about so we would not be dinged with an additional fee. Other than that the place was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Can't beat the views. Host's response: Thank you, Kyle! We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay at the home and hope you're able to make the return trip soon! I'm sorry that you had a difficult time reaching us, but I can assure you that you were not charged or 'dinged' for any damages. Carla F. Stayed Jan, 2020 A.M.A.Z.I.N.G It was a really beautiful experience. Quality time with Family and is a Great place to start a NEW YEAR! Host's response: So glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope you come back soon and visit. It's always a great time in the mountains! Oleg Stayed Oct, 2019 Review Nice, clean, conveniently located very close to RMNP. Has that attractive cabin vibe. The SkyRun management was very responsive. We discovered the kitchen sink was clogged and they had a person working on it within a couple hours. This created a mess but they also promptly sent a cleaning crew when we requested a clean up. One note: the heaters did not seem like they could handle really cold temperatures. So if you are staying in the winter be prepared to bundle up. Overall, we really enjoy our stay. Having a fireplace was great. Sarah W. Stayed Sep, 2019 Perfect for a family We have a 2 year old and 4 year old and this cabin met all of our needs. We used the bbq pit, spent lots of time outside and on the swing set. Views Around every corner and lots of wildlife. Loved sitting at the breakfast nook, and kitchen had everything we needed. Its close enough to everything but still lots of privacy. Host's response: Thank you, Sarah! We're so glad that the home met all of your family's vacation needs and that you enjoyed its views and wildlife! We hope that you'll be back again soon! Thomas Stayed Aug, 2019 Review Great space that comfortably fit 7. The patio with the grill is perfect for enjoying the outdoors after a day in the mountains. Host's response: We're pleased you found the vacation home to be comfortable and enjoyed using the grill. We look forward to hosting you again! Ava C. Stayed Aug, 2019 Had a great time ! The cabin was perfect for our stay . We will plan on staying there again . Loved the cabin , we will stay again . Host's response: Thank you, Ava! We're so happy to hear that you loved the cabin and look forward to your return trip! Bill Stayed Aug, 2019 Review Really terrific layout and great for younger kids. In the morning we saw elk from the large kitchen window. We enjoyed grilling out and the nighttime silence! Host's response: We're so pleased you and the kids enjoyed your vacation home, the elk and nighttime silence. We look forward to your return! Richard G. Stayed Aug, 2019 Great time Clean modern amenities good location. Absolutely no downside. Host's response: Thank you! We're so glad that you were happy with the Lazy Elk Retreat and hope that you'll be back again soon! Gary N. Stayed Aug, 2019 Great stay It was very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped with everything we needed. Great views and conveniently located 5 minutes from the entrance of RMNP. Host's response: We're so pleased you were comfortable and had everything you needed for your Rocky Mountain getaway. We look forward to your return. Carmen Stayed Aug, 2019 Review Beautiful cabin! We absolutely loved the decor and how spacious it was. The kitchen is amazing and has everything you need! It is located close to great restaurants and shops. Most importantly it is very close to RMNP which is perfect for those early hikes and beating the crowds. Would absolutely stay here again without hesitation. Host's response: We're so pleased you enjoyed the accommodations and location. And you took advantage of everything Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park! This calls for a return visit - don't you think? We look forward to your return! Jason Stayed Aug, 2019 Review Awesome cabin! Lots of space. Great out door space. Quiet area just 5 minutes away from downtown Estes. Host's response: We're so pleased you enjoyed Lazy Elk Retreat. You know - it's a wonderful home to stay in for a Fall or Winter Rocky Mountain getaway! George Stayed Jul, 2019 Review Wonderful hosts! We absolutely loved our stay and the ease of using SkyRun properties. Clean, cozy, and comfortable. Perfect location to both downtown Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Quiet and convenient. Host's response: Thank you, George! We're so glad to hear that you loved your stay and enjoyed the condo's location. We hope you'll be returning again soon! Jena And James Stayed Jul, 2019 Review We came as two young families for a week vacation together. The home is lovely and we appreciated the well-equipped kitchen (we cooked in most nights) and plenty of space for 4 adults and 3 small children. Our little kids loved the third bedroom designed just for them! The location is conveniently close to a small grocery store, to RMNP and is minutes from downtown. While the home is close to a main road and the yard feels like its sharing space with other homes yards, the place was peaceful nonetheless. Lots of deer and elk sighting, too! We so enjoyed our stay and are strongly considering coming back next summer to this same place. Host's response: Thank you for staying with us. We're pleased the entire family enjoyed the home and amenities. We look forward to your return. Nancy Stayed Jul, 2019 Review Very clean, nicely appointed cabin located at the far end of a dead end street. Nestled in the trees with plenty of privacy and opportunity for wildlife viewing from your own backyard. Close to RMNP and the center of Estes Park. But not so close to town that you feel hemmed in. Your family will feel quite and home in this relaxed setting as you enjoy all the comforts of home and this more quite location. Host's response: Thank you, Nancy! We are so glad that you were happy with the cabin and its location and we hope that you and your family will be back to stay with us again soon! Andrew Stayed Jun, 2019 Review A very nice cabin in a nice and quiet part of town. Fast wifi and a big TV with satellite was key to keeping the family entertained while unwinding from busy days in Estes and RMNP! Host's response: We thank you for your comments and are pleased you were able to unwind. Come again! Benjamin Stayed Jun, 2019 Review Great area, far enough outside of the main town to be quiet and less touristy but close enough to easily get to the National Park and back into town. Amenities were great, kitchen was great. Would definitely come back Host's response: SkyRun is pleased you enjoyed your accommodations and location. We look forward to your return visit! Fall and winter are magical times to enjoy our mountains and Estes Park. We hope to see you then! Kevin D. Stayed May, 2019 Beautiful place. Extremely close to the park Beautiful place. Fully equipped kitchen. Lots of board games. Good wifi.But the main thing. It is extremely close to the park. Just a 10 min drive and you're in the park Host's response: Thank you for your review! We're so glad that the home was a good fit for your vacation needs and that you enjoyed being so close to the park! Definitely a great perk! We hope that you'll be back to stay again soon! Jason Stayed Mar, 2019 Review Was a wonderful cabin just enough away from town yet close enough to be very convenient. Get amenities and stylish decor. Lots of wildlife. Host's response: We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in the cabin! We hope that you'll stay with us again in the future! (Fall is a great time for wildlife!) Matthew Stayed Jan, 2019 Review Properties run by SkyRun are sure to be well maintained and offer excellent service. I ran into a minor problem and they immediately responded. Estes is a great place nice family get away. Highly recommend! Host's response: Thanks Matthew!Please bring the family back up again soon! Some sledding on the hill??Cheers!SkyRun Estes Park Team Tim B. Stayed Sep, 2018 Modern amenities, rustic charm Great updated interior, homey and warm. Kitchen has been updated, and no expense was spared. Host's response: Thank you for your review and comments. We strive to provide every guest with a 5-star vacation home and experience. Please remember us when you plan a return visit. Perhaps a winter getaway, snowshoeing experience in the Rocky Mountains??? Paul Stayed Aug, 2018 Review Close to everything. Great place. Host's response: Thank Paul! We hope you'll come back soon to Estes Park and SkyRun's Lazy Elk Retreat. Roxanna Aug 2018 Kathleen G. Stayed Jul, 2018 Lovely Cabin, Convenient and Esthetically Pleasing My husband and I rented Lazy Elk for a 4 day stay. We anticipated that our sons may be able to join us from Denver, but work demands would not allow them. We loved this cabin. It is very convenient to hikes and drives in Rocky Mountain National Park; we walked downtown, took the Tram for exceptional views and toured the historic Stanley Hotel. The furnishings, attributes and layout of this place are wonderful. The only downsides we would mention is it's proximity to adjacent homes and the road, Riverside which is quite busy as the bypass to the Main Street and it's crowds. The busyness and noise was only observed when enjoying the patio, but not too bad. We had 4 Elk decide to lay around the yard one day, and observed a passing deer and bunnies. Lastly, the check-in and check-out times are very tight, and not in-line with other places we've stayed. I would suggest amending at least the check-out time to 11am as we were scrambling to get out by 10am. Thanks SkyRun for a great stay in Estes Park, Rocky Mountains! Kathy & Dan Griffin Ben Stayed Jul, 2018 Review We had a great stay at the Elk Lodge. The space was very clean, private, and comfortable. It is nicely located about 5 minutes from downtown and approximately 30 min from various trailheads inside the park. I would definitely recommend. Host's response: Thank you for staying at Lazy Elk Retreat in Estes Park. Please come stay with us again for another Rocky Mountain adventure! Carol Proud Father of the Bride Stayed Jul, 2018 Amazing Stay The cabin was amazing. Extremely clean. Rooms were great size. Easy to find in the middle of everything but far enough away to be private. My daughter got married close to the cabin and the stay was great. Family from NY stayed with us and the 20+ elk hanging out on the lawn was amazing. My daughter had a great wedding and the stay was effortless. I appreciated the communication with everyone involved with my stay. Thank you so much! Ed L. Stayed Jun, 2018 Beautiful cabin. Near RMNP entrance. Close to downtown. Quiet, peaceful setting. Four of us stayed in late June. Room for more. Elk walked through the yard in the morning and evening. Very comfortable. Amanda B. Stayed Jun, 2018 Perfect place for a family to stay! The home was lovely, everything you need is provided, and if you have any questions, you get a timely response! We definitely plan to stay here again! Jon Ginger S. Stayed Jun, 2018 Great location My family and I stayed at the Lazy Elk for about a week and we are familiar with the area. The cabin is clean and comfortable. There is a grill and patio seating outside. The sliding doors did not have screens which would have been nice to get a cross breeze to cool things off. The Welcome booklet asked for you to start a load of laundry before you left but we couldnt find any detergent. (Not a big deal unless you dont realize this until the night before your departure and you have to find a store open to buy it.) Everyday we were visited by elk and deer and the morning we left we even saw a coyote. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would rent again. Alicea L.
