10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Our weeklong stay at Pinecone Cabin nothing short of fantastic. The property location and views cannot be beat if you have plans involving visiting Estes Park, dining out or visiting RMNP as we did. The cabin was cozy and beds quite comfortable. The cabin decor was nice with a rustic mountain theme which added to our experience. In the mornings and evenings, it was fantastic just to go out on the deck and enjoy the awesome scenery. Also, daily we heard and saw elk bugling from our porch! We would highly recommend the Pinecone Cabin and plan on staying there upon our next return to the Estes Park area. Our weeklong stay was a memory maker! Thanks Janet for hospitality and making our stay enjoyable.

Very nice cabin with very good views. Comfortable furnishings and fully stocked kitchen.. Fast wi-fi and good tv situation. Feels secluded and has a nice deck with mountain views. We stay in Estes Park often and would not hesitate to recommend Pinecone Cottage.

This is a very cute cabin. Nice and rustic. Cozy. I do have to say we were not comfortable with the mattresses in the master. We even tried sleeping in separate beds. Really struggle with the beds. Janet was absolutely ! She was so kind and helpful. I just can’t say enough good things about her. We did contact her about a. Out of things and she is on top of all! Very helpful.
