Riverfront Thor`s Cabin

We had a great time at this cabin. It had everything you needed to make it like home. The only thing that was the traffic as far as getting in and out on a busy highway and the noise, other than that it was a great place to stay.

The owner was very quick to respond to any issues and felt with them quickly the house was clean and we loved staying there

The cabin was nice and clean. But the host expected my family and my small dog to stay in the cabin with daytime temperatures of record breaking heat. We were told that nighttime temps would be low 60s. Even with windows open and fans going there was no relief. We rented the cabin to relax but there was no way we could stay. It was not known if the temperature was going to moderate. The rest of the week was high nineties. It would have been too hot to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. What were we supposed to do until 12 am when it was supposedly 60 degrees. Yes we’re under contract. But where’s the humanity in expecting 75 year old people to with stand this kind of heat. We received 25% of the total. Our stay was for 7 days.

For the most part, Thor's cabin was clean and presented as described. But there are areas that other guests need to be aware of. For one, the proximity to the street is understated. The property sits about 10 ft off the road. Getting kids and dogs out of the car can be dangerous and you have to be very careful. Cars drive by at high speeds, the cabin is on the end of a bend in the road, and traffic is constant. If you have a dog, the fenced back area is ok, but know there is no where to walk. You can't walk a dog on the street and there is just no where to go. I did find a very small trail about 50 yards down the street that lead to the river. It's not great, but it is what we used to get the dog to do what he needed to. The second issue was that we stayed on a very warm weekend. Arriving shortly after the 4pm checkin, the cabin was locked up with all windows closed. So it was like a sauna inside. We tried to air it out, but there are only 3 windows that open, so even by 11pm, it was still very warm inside. Luckily in Colorado Mtns, the air cools off even in the middle of summer, so by morning it had cooled inside a bit. The third issue is the price we paid per night. At the right price, I can deal with some of the issues. But we paid a premium to stay here. More than I have paid for some 4 star hotels in major cities. To pay so much I expect better. It's too bad, but this place is just not worth the price.

This was perfect for a weekend getaway to Estes Park. It was close to town, but quiet and conveniently located on the highway. Exactly as pictured, very clean and excellent, friendly communication. Loved the comfy outdoor furniture in the back and being able to walk right across the road to the river. The pullout sofa wasn’t that comfy for our teenager, but I’ve never seen a comfortable one. Our daughter just laid a pallet of pillows on the couch and then it was perfect, so just something to keep in mind if you’re traveling with multiple kids We’re already planning our next stay!
