Family-friendly holiday rentals in Shadow Mountain Lake

This delightful cabin was just magical! It was the perfect location, we were able to walk to “downtown Estes”, walk to get coffee in the morning with the pups, the pups love this huge backyard, it was just a perfect and beautiful day! Saw lots of wildlife, had a ton of fun! And Oakley couldn’t be faster and more efficient with my questions! Do not hesitate to rent this cabin! I have stayed in Estes many times and this to me was my favorite, there’s something so nice about having a larger cabin than a smaller one! And being able to soak in the hot tub in the morning in the evenings was just divine! And a fun kitchen to cook in! Thank you!!

We had a beautiful stay at Melany’s. Everything was as described. We had several adults and a baby. Great for kids with toys, games, a baby-safe deck, and pool access! Rooms besides the primary are a little tight, but not a problem for us as we were out and about all day. We loved sitting on the deck and looking at the river! Wish the neighborhood was more walkable to downtown, but the scenery made up for it!

I can not say enough about this place it was exactly what our family was looking for. If you are looking to get out of the city and relax then this is the place for you. We spent every evening in the hot tub with the most beautiful views. Sitting on the porch one morning a fox came down the driveway, a moose came right to the water 15 ft in front of me, an elk was walking through the trees to the right of me and a momma duck had her babies out on the lake in front of me all within an hour. God really showed off that day. The home was so spacious there was plenty of room for all 6 of us. It was very clean and well cared for. There are plenty of hiking trails within a few miles if that’s your thing. We also spent a day in the hot tub, played board games and cooked on the grill, so if you don’t want to go anywhere there is plenty to do right at the cabin! 10 out of 10 would recommend Chris and Catherine’s place!

Wonderful cabin and despite being right in the middle of town the trees and greenery make you feel like you’re out in the woods when you’re relaxing on the back deck or in the hot tub.

Wonderful and comfortable place. The host was very helpful and made the trip hassle free. Highly recommended.

Michelle was an extremely gracious and responsive host! We will definitely stay here again if the opportunity presents itself. The view exceeds expectations.

Steve was very communicative and helpful from the check in process, recommendations, through check out. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. We would stay here again.

A lovely log cabin style home with comfortable furniture, big rooms, modern bathrooms, and helpful notes & labels on things

The house was wonderful, and everyone had a fantastic time. We all felt very comfortable throughout our stay. Our hosts were incredibly responsive and readily available to assist whenever needed. The check-in and check-out instructions were clear and easy to follow. The location is perfect—conveniently close, yet peacefully removed from the hustle and bustle. We highly recommend this place! Thank you again!

We stayed in the Boulder Cabin for 2 nights while we explored RMNP. Location is private but still close to Estes Park. Cabin was clean & bed comfortable. Cabin is very rustic with small rooms. We have stayed at many Airbnb’s & rentals but this was the first place we’ve stayed that had so many rules that you couldn’t keep up with them all. Host is very particular about what you can and can’t do in the cabin, right down to how you shut the door. Also, not that it’s a bad thing but we have never had a host be so communicative. He wants you to call him when you arrive & call when you check out. He called when we were on our way & again when he seen we arrived at 11pm. He also wanted to come visit us when he seen we were back from a day in the park. Most hosts message & make sure you don’t need anything then leave you alone to enjoy your stay, so this was different for us. Overall, if you need a place to sleep for a night or two & don’t mind an on-site host, this will do the trick.

We had a great stay at Tim's place! We spend a lot of time between Golden Gate Canyon State park and Nederland/Rollinsville, and his place is perfectly situated in between all those! Loved the space, beds and couch were comfy as well. Tim was responsive if I had a question. Would love to stay again when we are out here again fall of next year!!

This cabin was beautiful inside and out. The location was gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Thomas’s cabin. Highly recommend!

We thought this place was marvelous. Nature all around, but close to amenities and adventure. 6 deer in front yard. mountain bluejays . beds oh so comfy, shower great. I slept on the porch.. excellent use of space. really good lighting for reading. rushing Creek out kitchen window. glorious.

Stunning views! Located so close to the national park that we did multiple day trips. Plenty of room for our whole group of 11 and the kids loved the loft upstairs! Hot tub on the deck was an added bonus. The house is close to many wonderful restaurants and shops.

Amazing place to stay at! The house was clean and very accommodating and we always love coming back to this house every year!

Loved our stay at the chalet. It rained most of our visit, but we were warm and cozy inside with the wood stove. The rain made it feel misty and magical. The house was fully stocked with cooking supplies, firewood, toiletries, etc. There is a coffee maker, French Press, and coffee filters. On our last morning, we woke up to the sun streaming through the windows and a gorgeous VIEW of the snow-covered Indian Peaks. I was worried about using the ladder to the loft, but I got the hang of it quickly. I also enjoyed reading the guest book and learning how meaningful the house has been to so many people. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Great location and communication with host! Will stay again if we return to Winter Park.

This was our second time staying here, and it was just as wonderful as the first! Quiet and cozy and the beds are just like sleeping at home. Highly recommend this location when needing a large home for a trip. Our two families of five each had a great vacation here. Each level has its own bathroom and living space and plenty of room for all your gear. It is easy to walk to the ski lifts and base area, or drive and drop off skiers in just a couple minutes. The property manager is very responsive and addresses any issues promptly.

Clean, convenient to slopes, nice size rooms. Highly recommend!!

great stay awesome place

Trish was a wonderful host. Very accommodating for our needs. She was thorough in her check in and out instructions. The place was cozy and had all we need. It was located in walking distance to the rec room and a very short drive to Safeway. Awesome stay!

I was traveling solo so this place felt HUGE! I loved the private patio. It was close to the hiking I was doing in the area. I would definitely stay again and I’d love to bring my boys next time! I didn’t use the pool or hot tub but the community area is beautiful and very close to this unit.

We had a great stay at Lisa’s . The kitchen was well stocked with a few condiments and a variety of cooking items. The hot tub and pool were easily accessible and felt great after a big day skiing . Loved the lighted toilet 😊.

Just as described. Had everything we needed to cook meals, sleep well, and relax after a ski day (hot tub access and the fireplace). Loved the record player in the evenings. Will stay again if available!
