Perfect location to reset in the mountains
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. The VIEWS, the LOCATION! We both said "this is a do over!" We decided several evenings to do take out just so we could see the sunset. We saw turkeys, rabbits, chipmunks and elk!

Perfect cabin for a “summer” vacation
We had a cold week in Estes Park but this cabin kept us nice and cozy. Great king size bed and the view off the big deck is worth staring at for hours. Best part is being so close town but feeling like we were out in the middle of nowhere!

Awesome secluded cabin with easy acess to national park
We stayed here to visit the national park and everythjng was great. Property was easy to find and nice and srcluded with an amazing view. We even had turkey come up to the cabin the first night. At night everything was pitch black and perfect to star-gaze. Will be back.

Counting Stars in Estes Park Colorado
Can't say enough about D'Rae and Michelle. They are the best hosts and the property was very well kept with impeccable views. I had an issue with my personal vehicle and the hosts accommodated us with an extension of our stay. They are simply the BEST.

Great place. I’ll go back.
The cabin is at least as good as the pictures show. We stayed a few days, drove and hiked the park, toured the Stanley, and had the best vacation I can remember.

This place ROCKS!
Clean and cozy place for the two of us. Great dark sky for watching the stars. Coffee on the deck in the morning watching the deer graze. Easy drive to restaurants and national park. Stanley Hotel for drinks and then catch "The Shining" movie at the theater in Estes. Awesome stay!

30th Anniversary Trip
Counting Stars Cabin was absolutely perfect for us! This sweet little cabin was secluded, yet close to everything. It had everything we needed for a three night stay. Cozy and inviting, the bed was so comfortable, just the right amount of space for two people, lovely deck with a grill and propane fire pit, and so quiet and serene. Whether star-gazing at night, or waking up to see a family of deer eating on the property, we can't say enough about how wonderful this place was to celebrate our milestone. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Disappointed with host communication
First and foremost
I contacted host via VRBO asking possible early check in I was informed to text when in town to see if cabin was ready. I contacted host and NEVER received a response. I needed to get WIFI to check on hometown where a major hurricane was coming.
Pros: location is great for absolutely quiet sleep and star watching. Bed is super comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. Cabin was spotless. Couch and recliner are very comfortable.
Cons: bathroom is not in bedroom, must walk through living area to get to bathroom. Front door needs fixing as the deadbolt lock doesn’t work properly because door being uneven. It’s a weird feeling being out there with no deadbolt on. Shower is super small. It listed supplies provided by host included shampoo, there was none. Dishwashing sponge was not new, Ive never had a wet used sponge to use as a guest. I was ok with the previously used body liquid soap. This is my absolute honest opinion and I hope it helps others and host.

Love the location - secluded and serene with spectacular views. Another plus is downtown shops and restaurants are close by. The cabin was perfectly sized and had everything we needed for a great stay. My husband and I enjoyed spending time on the deck. We're looking forward to making a return visit next year.
