“Clean and romantic cabins in the heart of Estes Park”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

After much research on TripAdvisor I found Mountain Shadows resort and we're glad we did! We were looking for a cabin that allowed pets as we have a 6 month old Aussie and he along with us loved the cabin. The owners are very friendly and when we checked in we even got a little baggie of doggie treats which was a nice touch. We were lucky to have a group of elk right outside our cabin as we checked in and deer show up too which was very cool.We stayed in the Rustic Romance cabin and loved it. It is very well maintained, clean and a cozy. When you first enter you do smell chlorine from the hot tub in the room but having it in the room is a big plus and plus its not that strong and you can always open a window. The cabins are attached and very close together which is unfortunate but we never had any problem with noise. We had a friendly couple staying next to us who also had a pet so that was nice.

One major highlight with these cabins beside the hot tub is the wonderful beds! One of the most comfortable king beds we've ever slept in. The sheets were top quality as was the bed which made for very restful nights. The unit also has a nicely appointed kitchenette and outside two gas grills for use that are not shown on the website.

We highly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Room Tip: Flower Passion room has best view on property

The decor in the cabins is warm and inviting. The owners are very kind and gracious. We have stayed there 4 times now and have never been disappointed.

“Now this is our idea of a cabin!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2010

Having stayed at a suite in the Della Terra Mountain Chatuea on our last trip to Estes Park we have rather high expectations of Estes Park and we were impressed with our cabin at Mountain Shadows! The pictures on the website are exactly what the cabin looked like inside! The things the website does not show but that made the difference between staying at a rustic cabin and this cabin are: the 400 thread count sheets, a great bed, a warm fireplace at the flip of a switch, delicious muffins with hot chocolate after dinner, a walk shower with dual shower heads, and it was quiet! The layout is such that there is no connecting wall to another room. I must add that as a Veteran, my wife and I deeply appreciated the service of the Owner and the acknowledgement of my service by gifting us the cabin the night before Veterans day. We plan to return! For those who want a rustic cabin, you may want to enjoy these well appointed Mountain Shadows cabins instead!

“Great Location and Setup”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

Staying at Mountain Shadows was great. The location is nice, with an elevated view of the Mountains and RMNP, as well as quick access to great resturaunts and shops. The room was comfortable with a nice bed, kitchen, TV and DVD player with a hottub inside the room. The only thing I would recommend would be to have a home cooked breakfast to complete the "Bed and Breakfast", although a nice breakfast snack is included
