The homes are nestled in a real, beautifully wooded neighborhood, not in the more congested part of town. You can experience all the best of the views and tranquility of Estes Park, just like the locals do. And the national park is super close!

    Overall we had a very pleasant trip to Estes Park. The Schultze home was a very nice home. Well…read moredecorated and well stocked with anything you might need from a vacation rental. We enjoyed using the gas grill and pleased that they had plenty of pots and pans available to have a cook out. The home has a view of the river from the patio that we enjoyed. The management was very helpful and stayed in touch with us right before our arrival. On our last night there we thought to pack the truck and get everything ready to head back home at 4am the next day. We got back from Denver pretty late that evening as it started to get dark. My husband and father loaded the truck with our luggage on our luggage rack on top of our SUV. It is pitch black at night in Aspen Brook. No problem for us we didn't want to inconvenience anyone, except that its rather difficult to load a truck in the dark. Our parking spot was not next to the home it was across the road, so my husband parked the car right next to the home to finish loading the truck and get some visibility with the porch light on. As we were finishing up management called me and told me we could not park there and I told her we were just finishing up loading the truck and would move it in a few minutes, she agreed and hung up. When I got off the phone I walked over to the porch and saw an older man standing next to our truck flashing a light into the windows of the truck. When I asked him if I could help him he yelled and said I couldn't park there to which I replied that we were almost done loading and would move it asap as soon as we were done and that we had just gotten a call from property management. He screamed "what if an ambulance needs to come by"!!!?? I repeated to him again that we were almost done and would move it soon and went back inside. I tried calling management back to ask who this man was, no answer. At that point I emailed property management. I said we had no problem with the call but was it really necessary for the older guy to come yell at us and on top of that snoop/shine his light into our truck??? Its a week later and never got a response from the email I sent to property management.

    We stayed during the moderately-high season of fall color and the elk rut. It was a last-minute…read moredecision to do a day trip that turned into an overnight. CC was one of the few who still had vacancy. Now we know why. While I don't know what type of low-grade accommodations the high reviewers are accustomed to, as a very frequent traveler, I do know that this place does not deserve anything higher than 3 stars. Pros: very simple, homey old-timey cottages that hearken back to a 1940's grandma's house. Central location right outside one of RMNP's entrances. Nice touches with working fireplaces, 1 free bundle of firewood, variety of games and dvds to choose from, and fairly ample kitchenette offerings including a mini-stove, full sink and place settings. Restaurant choices across the street. Cons: this place is TIRED. Everything is run-down and dingey from the raggedy bedspreads to the broken kitchenette drawers, to the shower handle that fell off when we went to turn it on. Outside lawn chairs were moldy and crusty - uninviting. Curtains were dusty with gnats stuck to them. The children's mini-playground area - which could've otherwise been such a nice touch - was littered with dog poo and other debris from apparently months of neglect. If the rental charge were more appropriate for this low-level of accommodation, like $75-$100, I might give more stars. But $200? Uh no.

    We stayed here a month or so ago but didn't get around to this review until now. This was our…read moresecond time staying here. The first time was 20 years ago and we loved it back then which is why we decided to go back. In the past I'd have given it 4 or even 5 stars. However.... Pros are the great location close to so many amenities such as restaurants and stores, very quaint appearance, dogs allowed, wood burning fireplace, parking right outside your unit's door, easy self check-in, and how quiet it is even though it's off a fairly busy street. This place has tons of potential. Cons are a general lack of maintenance including a broken bar in the sleeper sofa that didn't support any weight and collapsed, unusable very disgusting cooking pans, dirty oven, and a general lack of cleanliness. For example under the chair cushions were years of dust and a variety of objects like socks, loose change, hair ties, etc. Tons of dirt under the sofa and bed, the fireplace glass screen was so dirty you couldn't see the fire so we cleaned it ourselves, all the dishes were filthy, lots of loose hair in the bathroom, etc. You get the idea. Housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired. We love rustic but these cottages cross the line into decrepit compared to other places we've stayed. They are in need of some refurbishment and replacement of furniture and household items.

My how things have changed. Back in 1995, the customer service was 10/10. Now, 2/5 at best. The only saving grace keeping this from a 1 star review was the exceptional agent that I worked with during the booking process. We checked in after hours and were able to find our way up the mountain to our home without any issues. However, when we walked in the door, we were very surprised to find that the home was 3 levels (not expected), multiple smoke detectors were "chirping", and the home was very warm inside. I immediately called the office to let them know about the smoke detectors and our displeasure with the property, not expecting a response until the next day. The next day came without any response. The smoke detectors stopped chirping on their own, but we should have been contacted by maintenance nonetheless. On our 4th afternoon, the chirping returned. I called the office during regular business hours (4:11pm) to alert about the detectors again, but did not receive a return call. I called again at 4:33pm and followed up with an email, but no one ever responded back to me. Upon check out, prior to business hours, I returned their packet of "required" information. They state they will post my review and comments to their website, but I highly doubt they will actually post anything negative. I will say that Estes Park is one of my favorite places on earth. It's breathtakingly beautiful and I will definitely return again...sadly, just not to Windcliff.

    Absolutely unmatched customer support and amazing rental properties…read more We have made 6 trips to Windcliff (5 at Aspen Leaf and 1 at Awestruck) and each time we are blown away. The houses are gorgeous, the views are breathtaking and the location is unmatched. The houses are well appointed and have everything you could need. The staff are also amazing. They are responsive and do what they can to make your stay enjoyable. We will continue to come here each year as the past 6 have been perfect.
