Cute cabin
The cabin was wonderful. About half way between Loveland and Estes Park. Very clean, nice kitchen. Host responds very quickly to questions and dealt with the small issue we had very fast. We plan on coming back!

Beautiful cabin
My family had such a relaxing 3 day stay. The drive up there is so pretty, the canyon is beautiful! The covered patio with the hot tube was nice. The beds and pillows were super comfortable. The cabin was clean and the inside aesthetics of the cabin are pretty. We went a couple days before Christmas and the cute Christmas tree they had set up was a really nice touch. You can hear the stream up to the cabin and the walk down the trail to the stream was so beautiful. The owner and his assistants stayed in contact with us the whole stay to make sure we needed anything and were very personable.

Great Location
We had a nice stay at this cabin! The location is perfect, nestled between Loveland and Estes Park, making it easy to explore both areas. The cabin itself is peaceful and serene, with the soothing sound of a stream nearby that added to the overall tranquility. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a cozy and quiet escape.

Mountain Relaxation
Great place for a cozy and relaxing getaway for my spouse and I. Close to Estes Park for day trips and great for morning and evening R&R. Can hear the river stream while sitting on the porch by the table fireplace and in the jacuzzi. Enjoyed this stay very much and would come back.

Updated and very clean cabin for a long weekend!
We really enjoyed our long weekend at Big Thompson Cabin. It was clean, updated, and very cozy. Halfway up the canyon, which makes it easy to get up to Estes (but not pay Estes prices), while also being about to get to Loveland relatively quickly. Would definitely stay here again! 5 stars!

Relaxing and pet freindly
The cabin is clean and has everything you need. The hot tub is new since our last visit. There is no cell service, but that's to be expected due to the location in canyon. The river is beautiful, we saw bighorn sheep twice while driving to town. We like being between Estes Park and Loveland so we visit both. Having the garage is nice but we didn't use it.
Finding a nice cabin that allows pets is the best thing ever, our dog loves to travel with us.

Big Thompson
Great cabin, stocked with things you need for bath and kitchen. Had to wash the sheets and blankets before sleeping in them due to the overwhelming smell of dogs but other than that it was good. Saw a mama bear and a baby bear outside of the master bedroom! Apparently there’s an apple tree outside the window and The mama climbed it!
The hot tub was nice. You can hear the highway but it was bothersome as the sound blended in with the river sound!
Darin was responsive and his handyman was awesome!

There was a mishap with the hot tub and it didn’t work. Was to get a discount on the stay, we’ll see. It was finally ready for use the night before we left. The location is great and easy to get to where we wanted to be.

Beautiful area, peaceful, cozy cabin
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is located fairly close to the busy road, but you can’t hear it because of the river. The view from the hot tub and porch is unbeatable- with the Mountains and the sunset in view are priceless.
A little disappointment came from the cleanliness- there were a rather large amount of chip crumbs and bread crumbs on the comforter and on the ground beside the bed making me think it wasn’t thoroughly cleaned and was a little disturbing. There was also dog hair that was everywhere- floors, couches, beds, but dogs are allowed. So that’s expected as well.
I’ve seen comments about the area being overgrown- yes. This is true. It’s a mountain cabin. So it’s what I’d expect. But it’s definitely not groomed/manicured as is pictured- so that’s the only issue to note there.
The washer went out while we were there and that was a huge inconvenience since we had a 1 and 2 year old that needed clothes washed. But Darin got it replaced while we were there and refunded some money. Great customer service!!
