A full week and we loved it! Meeker Peek is our favorite cabin of all the ones we have stayed in over the past 20 years. A perfect house base for us to enjoy the hiking and we did a lot! Lake Isabelle, The Loch, Mills Lake, Mount Audubon, Odessa Lake, Fern Lake and Chasm Lake! We loved the peaceful setting and the scenery. Hopefully we will be back again some day. Thanks.

I really enjoyed my time here - even found a little romance at a little horse riding place with a cowboy named Chance! The rides were fun. Then we went fishing and white water rafting. Colorado boys are hot! Come to Georgia please!

OMG! This cabin was amazing! It was my birthday up here and we're having a blast! This place is like a complete getaway and I will be a bit sad to return to the real world tomorrow. We have quite an interesting group: One from GA, two from OR, one from CA, one from CO and one from MI. Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing your cabin. It is perfect for families with small kids! We had a great time relaxing and celebrating our 4th anniversary! The twins had a wonderful time trying to build a snowman. We were pleasantly surprised to find your cabin well stocked with basic necessities and luxuries that made one's stay so much more pleasant. Thanks again!

Day 1 - December 26th - Arrived around 4pm. What a driveway! Unloaded and made a quick run to Estes for liquor. Someone should really
open a liquor store on HWY 7 - they'd make a killing! This place is great. The wesite doesn't do it justice. We brought the 4-wheeler. Kids are praying for snow. Maybe they'll get lucky and it will come down tonight! Mom's excited about the washing machine. Guess it's the little things in life. More tomorrow...
Day 2 - December 27th - We took the kids to Rocky Mountain National Park. We had a great time. Saw some big horn sheep (3 rams) and a bunch of snow up high. Still waiting on it to snow here at the cabin. Did some shopping in Estes, at lunch at the Wapiti Bar - great food!
Day 3 - December 28th - Went back to RMNP so kids could go sledding. They had a blast except when Justin (age 5) wiped out! He ate snow and dirt and bruised his face, but soon was ok. Saw the sheep again on our way out of the park. We went up a national forest road on our way back to the cabin. No one else was around! We found some more snow to sled on. No more accidents! Came back and cooked a big dinner. Hoping for snow tonight!
Day 4 - December 29th - 7:30 a.m. - Woke to snow falling! By 10:00 it had already let up - pretty though! We are spending a quiet dat at the cabin. This is our last day :-(
Day 5 - December 30th - We had a great time! Thank you for letting us stay!

Tim, many many thanks for your generosity. I needed to get away and this was the perfect spot! Your cabin is wonderful! It was warm and cozy after arriving in a snow storm! The peace and quiet was so healing for me, and Paul was able to enjoy it too. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the great stay. We loved being here and we are kind of
sad to be leaving. We can't wait to come back next time we are in Colorado. This place is beautiful. This house feels like
home, everything was wonderful and comfortable. We hiked around and went
snowboarding 30 min away. Estes Park is beautiful. Nancy, the caretaker, is a very nice, sweet
lady. We loved her a lot. The next door neighbor’s dogs were the best. They
went with us on walks; they were the best dogs we have ever met! They are the
hardest part about leaving. Pepper is the best. Thank you so much for
everything. The grill, firewood, radio, towels, etc...you guys really made this
trip special for us. Next time you guys are in Chicago please contact us, we can go out to dinner! Thank
you again very much
Love, Carl, Juliet, Kris, Orla & Ian

We are a group of sketchers and found the cabin just right for us. We saw a
beautiful sunrise. We love all the natural light for our sketching! Beds were
comfortable.

Great cabin, great views. Enjoyed our stay very much. Weather was great until
Friday. However, love the cool weather. This is our 3rd visit the area. However
THIS CABIN and the LOCATION were ideal for us. Hope sometime in the future we

Excellent 2nd time at Meeker Peek! What a lovely lovely place. We did lots of
hiking, especially around Wild Basin, exploring the forest nearby and built a
teepee/castle/fort in the aspen grove! Highly recommend Meeker Park Stables for
trail rides. Thank you!

We had a lovely time enjoying the quiet and very comfortable cabin. We enjoyed
watching the hummingbirds and the elk that meandered up to just below the deck
at about 11:30
pm. We are excited to drive
over Trail
Ridge Road.
Opened Thurs. First time it opened this early in the season. Thanks for the use
of your cabin.

Thanks so much for letting us stay in this lovely cabin over Thanksgiving. We
enjoyed the views and this cozy place! It was roomy and comfortable! Our boys
enjoyed cutting some wood and building a fire in the wood stove. The
neighborhood dog was friendly and took walks with us. It was fun to be close to
Estes for our annual tradition of attending the Christmas parade. We hope to
come back again!

The Cox family vacation was a smashing success. We spent the week hiking,
climbing, eating and drinking with our friends the Bolingers, who stayed just a
few houses down the road. Between us we put down approximately 100 lbs of food
and conquered Ouzel Falls/Calypso
Cascades, the dreaded Estes Cone (which whooped all our butts last year), Chasm Lake, the crater, and Mills Lake. In between meals and treks, mostly we read and
sometimes we played cards. Generally we were in bed by 10. We had the strength
of a 20 year-old by day and the bed time of a 90-year-old by night! Must be the
altitude..

Yes it is beautiful here in the winter. It snowed the night of the 22nd so it
was great! Sharing this house for the holiday was a good idea. We all go our
different ways tomorrow.br>

Wow, our second time to visit this wonderful cabin. Not much has changed since
three years ago -- the mountains haven't moved, but the trails seem a little
longer and steeper! Our first hike was out of Wild Basin on the way to Calypso Cascades. Many hikes this week
and feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Thanks for a place to come
"home" to.

We traveled from Quincy, Il and Chicago for a wedding and vacation. Your cabin
is great, hopefully we'll be able to make the trip again. The scenery and golf
was a bonus. Thanks again

Happy Mother's Day! We had a great time in the sun. We all got our tar on and
drank a little too much! I got to do everything I wanted this weekend. Watch
the AVS with game 1 against St. Louis, write a song, and get stupid with my brother Jeff.
Thanks for the cabin.

From Kansas and Nebraska. Cabin was very cozy and comfortable. Nice to be
away from crowds and town. We went snow shoeing in RMNP 3 days. Great fun.
Absolutely beautiful sights. We went to several frozen lakes. We recommend
snowshoeing.

What a wonderful way to start the REAL new millennium. No snow at the cabin, but plenty in RMNP. Truly a

Happy fourth of July! your cabin provided wonderful respite after awe-filled
days of hiking in RMNP, Wild Basin & Emerald Lake
especially! The hummingbirds provided instant entertainment. The layout of the
cabin lends itself to families even those with teenagers...amazingly enough.
Thanks for sharing your cabin with us as well as its beautiful surroundings.

Great cabin to share - home away from home. We had a great time hiking,
canoeing, horseback riding and just enjoying the spectacular views. I loved
Estes and all it offers. I even got a round of golf in!

We had a wonderful week here. The cabin was great! It snowed right after we got
here then again a few days later. The kids had a great time snow sledding. The
older kids went to Eldora and snow boarded a couple of days. The shops in Estes Park were a lot of fun and we went to Rocky Mountain National Park. Thanks again for helping make this a great vacation!

Thank you very much for the use of your cabin, it is truly a beautiful place.
The hike up to Red
Deer<
/span> Lake was fantastic, blue skies, warm weather and nobody
else but us. Others should try this as long as you don't mind the 15 miles
roundtrip distance but the views are worth it. Highly recommend Alice's Restaurant at Gold Lake Resort, fantastic food and
peaceful quite atmosphere. Thanks again for a fantastic min-vacation
