We love your cabin and all the pine-cones ! The view is spectacular and the accommodations are awesome. You thought of everything. The rocky card was a nice touch and the tips to some of your favorites. Fawn Brook Inn--what a lovely little hidden gem. Came home on our last evening here to a deer munching away in the front ...talk about a photo opp! Thank you for everything
We spent one week in that property and it was perfect for our family of 5. The house as a lot of charm and a very nice view of the Estes Park valley with the Stanley Hotel in the far view. The house is very well located, only a few minutes from RMNP main entrance. We would recommend the property to any family or friends.
Amazing place! Super clean, great mountain view and kid friendly! We had an amazing time here in Estes Park and it makes it even better to go back in the evening to a place that is clean, safe, and comfortable! Great price as well! I also appreciate the quick response of the owners with questions.
This beautiful, spacioius cabin is replete with all the amenities one could wish for, including a great hut-tub. It has easy access to Estes downtown and to Rocky Mountain National Park. Gorgeous views over the valley were enhanced by herds of elk passing by the patio. Communication with the owner was great and Janet was incredibly helpful. This is an incredible place for a weekend getaway or a longer stay. I will definitely be back!
What a gorgeous cottage! - clean, spacious, charming, beautifully maintained. Truly a welcoming retreat with mountain charm and all the comforts one could want. Loved the close access to Estes Park and RMNP, but at the same time it felt as though we were far away from the rest of the world. Great for a couple, a family, or a group of friends wanting a getaway. The pictures certainly don't do justice to the beauty and charm of this cottage. Janet was easy to contact and made sure we were welcomed and comfortable. Definitely would recommend to others and hope to be back!
This is a great cabin with everything you need. The Ali family is helpful and accommodating.
We hiked Cub lake, Emerald Lake, and Calypso cascades, all possible for flat landers such as ourselves. Rented a UTV and drove in the mountain near Drake. It rained while we were on our ride but we loved the 4 wheeling in the mud. We went white water rafting out of Fort Collins and it was a ton of fun. We have created some wonderful memories here and hope to return again very soon

I had an amazing time in Colorado, and I cant wait to visit again
We saw a total of 10 different wildlife when we were hoking around Emerald Lake. I noticed an Elk, it ended up coming up on the trail and it was hilarious seeing people reacting to it. Thank you for letting us stay at the cabin. When it was cold, the cabin kept us warm and cozy. Also it was nice that you come up to help fix anything we need.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The views were wonderful. We sat on the deck and watched both sunrises and sunsets. Watching the deer graze in the front yard was also nice. It was conveniently located to many hiking trials. I look forward to staying here again.
Our stay at Pinecone Cottage was wonderful. Pinecone Cottage helps to take all of your troubles away with its spacious clean rooms and wonderful mountain views! The setting creates panoramic vistas of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National park. Best of all Rocky Mountain National park is just minutes away. Imtiaz and Janet, the owners, recommended the hike from Bear Lake to the three higher lakes and that should not be missed, other than the wonderful accommodations, the Bear Lake hike was the highlight of our trip. The cottage itself was a dream and the owners provided coffee, hot chocolate, spices, sugar and more. There were also plenty of towels and a dishwasher!! We had no need to eat out with all of the pots, pans and dishes available. An in-house washer and dryer added to the ease of the stay. The beds are very comfy, and my kids appreciated all of the cable stations and the wireless internet!! Our family of five definitely recommends Pinecone cottage. We will stay here anytime we are in the area.
What a blessing this cabin has been for us. God has shown us remarkable beauty every day and night during our stay. When we booked this cabin it was based on the on the beautiful reviews, deck, coziness, and privacy. We were glad that we were led Pine Cone Cottage and give thanks to God and the owners for sharing such awesome accommodations
Thank you so much for the beautiful gift to our family. Coming here was just what we needed to help us in our healing journey.
Pinecone Cottage, after only 2 visits, feels like our Estes Park home. Great cabin with an excellent view from front porch. Location could not be better: very close to shops, restaurants and grocery store. And just a couple of miles to Rocky Mountain National Park. If you rent Pinecone, please take good care of it because my wife and I will be back.
What a beautiful location. We had an amazing time at the cabin, and in RMNP (Rocky Mountain National Park) as well as neighborhood places. We come to Estes Park often but this is the first time we have experienced the charms of a rustic cabin, and how wonderful it has been !! Thoroughly enjoyed the nature, views and wildlife while sipping coffee in the patio. Our only request is a larger sign at the entrance for navigation.
Great Cabin ! Fantastic views !!
Best hike - Bierstadt Lake
Thanks for having such a wonderful cabin for us to enjoy this week. We traded our corn fields for the mountains this week and loved every moment our time at pinecone cabin. Our daughter joined us which made it extra special. We loved eating and grilling many of our meals outside and drinking fresh coffee in the am while the sun rose over the mountains. Great hiking, wildlife, and adventures. Perfect location for all these activities. Thanks and hoping to come back again.
From the members of the same family who stayed there:
Thank you for opening your lovely cabin to our family this week. We enjoyed hiking, and the scenery at your home. Loved cooking and eating at your porch. We hope to return in the near future.
Pinecone cottage was perfect for the family of four. Our two boys loved climbing and exploring the outside of the cabin. We enjoyed seeing the deer, chipmunks and hummingbirds on the property. The location is ideal..easy access to the Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park Town, but still removed from the touristy part of the town. Thank you so much.
We were very pleased with Pinecone Cottage! It was secluded because it is on 1.78 acres, yet we were close to town and the national park. We felt like we had our own private place on the mountainside.
The cabin was well furnished and very clean and modern, yet it had the decor of a mountain cabin with all the pine wood. Very roomy, yet cozy.
The view from the deck was awesome.
The cabin was well maintained and had everything we needed. Janet was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, even down to the details, like soap, shampoo, trash bags, etc. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed.
After looking at the pictures online, and reading the reviews, it totally met our expectations. We would stay there again.
We enjoyed PineCone cottage. It is quaint and secluded, and the owners have the cabin well furnished so we had everything we needed.
Wonderful views of the area. We saw some deer, rabbits, chipmunks and humming birds. Great hiking in the RMNP and we enjoyed the town of Estes Park as well. Great relaxing and fun week.
We had a wonderful time staying for a week in Estes Park at Pinecone Cottage. The space was great for 2 couples. Clean, well maintained, nicely furnished. And the kitchen, dining area, and deck were great for eating in, when we chose to. The cabin is situated on the side of a hill with beautiful views of the mountains, right outside downtown Estes Park. Our first morning we woke up to an elk strolling by our cabin.
The cabin is very close to Rocky Mountain National Park - not more than a 10 minute drive. There's nothing better than a long day of hiking and coming back to a beautiful cabin and a warm shower!
The owner clearly takes great care of her home. She also provided great customer service from start to finish. When we come back to Estes Park in the future, we'll definitely stay at Pinecone Cottage again!
Pinecone cottage was a perfect place for us ! You have a beautiful mountain home with wonderful views from every window and the porch. It has been a restful and comfortable week. Love the wildlife- birds, rabbits and dear. We hope to visit Estes Park, again !!
We enjoyed 2nd stay here. It has been four years and it has been a beautiful and cozy place to stay. The highlight of our stay was while hiking we had a bighorn sheep cross our path.
I have NOTHING BUT WONDERFUL things to say about the Pinecone Cottage. Its quaint and well appointed at the same time - very clean and new. Can't beat the views - nearly 360 of the Rockies and Estes Park. Great location, easy access to everything you could want, easy to find. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!
We enjoyed this cute, cozy cabin with incredible views. The cabin was comfortable and quite roomy. The beds were great and there were plenty of TV's if you tired of hiking. We saw a huge buck one day out our bedroom window, and then the next morning a whole family of deer. The road was a bit daunting, and could definitely use some repair. If we hadn't had an SUV, it could've been tricky! The kitchen was pretty well equipped, but the dishwasher didn't clean well. Other than that, we loved it and would stay there again.
What a great retreat and location for hiking in RMNP! Property is very clean and beautifully maintained and about 2-3 miles from the best RMNP gate for hiking, especially if you are a fan of alpine lakes with great landscape photo opportunities. Gas grill works better than the $500+ unit I own....gonna look into a Sunbeam next time :). It is also meticulous, as was the rest of the house. My only recommendation would be a metal spatula for the grill. No AC needed at this elevation. Just close the master BR window and shade in the AM, prior to going out hiking for the day (sun hits it pretty hard in July), then when you return (or after 3 pm), open back it up and enjoy the wonderful breeze that comes through the house. Perfectly situated for the early riser that enjoys taking sunrise photos....got some amazing shots just from the deck! Views like this should not be permitted without a little hiking effort....yet here they are! My family and friends had a wonderful time. Everything in the house worked flawlessly...this made our stay so pleasant. I would recommend the restaurant at the bottom of the hill, The Other Side...we ate breakfast there one morning and it was great...crabcakes benedict, smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and cherry pancakes were delicious. We cooked all of our other meals in the kitchen, baked chocolate chip cookies in the oven at least 3 nights (this is permissible when you hike all day :). We hiked 6 days and returned to a comfortable pad every night. The beds were very comfortable and a hot shower every night after hiking was just the ticket. I would, without reservation, recommend this property 100% to my friends and family. Thank you Ali family for providing such an awesome place to stay during our vacation. We will be back! Matt, Renee, Griffin, Uncle Scott and Aunt Aimee
Thank you for letting us use your beautiful cottage.
We had a great time hiking, viewing wildlife and exploring Estes. The kids enjoyed playing with the blocks and horses. The cuckoo clock was a big hit. We named her "cuckoo-looka"
We hope to come back in the future.
Thanks for being a great host too and responsive to all our requests through emails and texts !!
Great time ! Thanks for all your accommodations !
We hiked, saw wildflowers and had a great time.
Fantastic Cabin !!
A terrific week as the sun and summer enter the Rockies, The views spectacular, the company good, and the hiking fantastic. We've had a lovely stay in your cottage, everything worked out perfectly; lovely surroundings, cosy and clean. Kitchen and appliances very, very nice, bed comfy.
A bear, elk and deer on the property, 32 species of birds seen so far (some on your property)
Thanks for letting the old cousins get re-acquainted
We decided t try something different for the thanksgiving break and ended up here at your cottage. Although our stay was short (3 nights) we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for providing us with a little "haven" where we could get away from the world. We may be back.
This cabin is worth staying in!! Plenty of room, very up to date, with great views and room to hike! We definitely would stay again. The owners are very nice!
When I was a little girl, my sister and I played in this cabin for summer vacation; we would play house, have adventures, and shoot my Dad's BB gun at the huge rock behind the house. Today we are much older but the cabin still holds the memories, secrets and familiarities it did 12 years ago. I love being back since it sparks a tender cord with my childhood. I love what the Ali family has done to the cabin to preserve the historic parts of the cabin. We appreciate them letting us stay to reminisce about our childhood. Hopefully it wont be another 12 before we can come back and enjoy the simple pleasures of this cabin and beautiful Estes park
Thank you !!
Our friends and us spent a week in this lovely cabin. The interior exceeded my expectations. We never went out to dinner because the location was lovely and the deck had a great view. Plus you can have a couple glasses of wine without worring about driving back.
We hiked 8-10 miles every day and loved the great showers and beds at night.
I too would recommend more dishes as with four people we were doing the dishes all the time. Otherwise, everything else was well stocked and in good condition. Would definitely rent again when in the area.
