Real Colorado cabins with wood-burning fireplaces on the shores of the Big Thompson River. Five mintes to Rocky Mountain National Park. Ask about long-term winter rentals.
This is the real deal. Couldn’t believe this was not already average of 5 stars in Unilocal.This place starts off with the most genuine caring group of people that want to ensure your stay in not only their cabins are great but that your stay in their hometown is great as well. They eagerly assisted in providing pamphlets and describing things to do in the area. Seriously, good genuine people that work there. I almost would come back just got the service alone. The cabins. Perfect! Those complaining about it being outdated, I don’t know what you’re looking for. If you want a 50 inch plasma TV then I recommend not choosing estes Park as your place to vacation. Go to Denver. The place comes with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. All good size. I slept very comfortable. I only wish I would’ve stayed longer to enjoy some bbq on the grills of each of our personal decks. I’m already looking forward in coming back and bringing my daughter. This is a perfect getaway from those looking to relax, find peace and tranquility, and meet very caring and affectionate group of locals.

Such a pleasant surprise! Marisa was amazing and squeezed my boyfriend and I in on a very busy weekend — the cottage(3) was so peaceful, clean and rustic! Right on the river there with a picnic table and grill. Loved relaxing outside, listening to the river. Could also hear from the room. Walking distance to liquor store, restaurants and some neat shops. Great experience overall — will definitely be returning to stay for a loner period of time. One of the best experiences I’ve had up in Estes park

The venue is great but the dj plays the music so low it’s impossible to dance. He says something about the neighbors complaining at even 845pm. I would not recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding reception!!!

I’ll start by saying that the customer service at the front desk was excellent for check in and check out. The rest of the time not so much. They don’t offer any housekeeping services during the duration of your stay. I stayed in cabin #9, and thought it was a little outdated, which is was alright since we’re in the middle of the forest. I was just hoping it would be a little bit nicer for the price I paid. I was given one and half rolls of toilet paper, two towels, and two packs of coffee. By the third day, I thought they would at least take out the trash or give me fresh towels. At one point I did request to have someone pick up our trash and they said they’ll send someone right away. No one ever came. I walked around the cabin in socks and noticed that every night the bottom was black. In my friends cabin, since this is a place that’s dog friendly, we noticed some land mines from the previous vacationers dog on the floor when we moved the couch. As for spiders, I killed at least eight of them just in the bathroom alone. They look cute from the outside but, once you get inside, not so good. At least you have good food next door at Smokin’ Daves BBQ.

First I’ll start by saying we enjoyed our stay at Tiny Town Cabins. The customer service was excellent. Everyone we met was sincere and helpful. We arrived a few hours early and they let us check in since the cabin was ready. Tiny Town Cabins are right next to Trout Haven and Smokin’ Daves BBQ which were fun places to visit. The place was confusing to get to because the signs direct you to the old office building. Luckily, the new office is very very close. We stayed in the Aspen cabin, #20, which was a little larger than the others and seemed to have more privacy from the rest of the cabins. It was also closest to the river which we LOVED. You could open the windows and hear the rushing of the water. We both felt like the interior of the cabin was a little outdated which was all right, but for the price, we were hoping it would be a bit nicer. We used the heater on our first night but it sounded and looked scary that I was afraid to use it again. My husband assures me the discoloration on the vent was not burn marks. The cabin did come with a full kitchen: refrigerator with freezer, oven, stove, and microwave. There was also a coffee pot, plates, cups, silverware, and some cooking utensils. There is a tiny charcoal grill out back. We wanted to cook using the gas oven but the fire alarm kept going off, even when all of the windows and doors were open and there was no visible smoke from anything. We lit the gas stove flame to cook on it and the fire alarm went off before we put anything on it. It is right above the stove/oven and apparently, very sensitive. The bathroom looked updated and we had no issues with having enough hot water. They provided towels and linens on the bed. All in all, the location is awesome. We loved being close to RMNP and the little downtown shopping area(1.5 miles away maybe?). Also our cabins being next to the river was beautiful. The customer service was great, but like another reviewer said, there is no formal housekeeping during your stay so be aware of that. It is a very cozy and convenient place to stay. We probably would not stay here again because of the price.

This is a great starter place if you’re new to visiting the national forest. The staff is friendly but not very good at offering any type of housekeeping service. Our third stay at TTC was for a week. We were given 3 towels, two rolls of toilet paper, two packs of coffee and one roll of paper towels. After we’d been there for 3 days and reused the same towels and ran out of toilet paper I called the front and asked them to bring me more. The woman asked me how much longer we’d be staying. I thought she would provide us with enough to make it through the remainder of the trip but instead we got another 2 towels, 2 wash cloths, 2 hand towels and 2 rolls of toilet paper. Knowing that we would be needing much more we went down to the local Safeway and bought a week’s worth of groceries and supplies. This, of course, meant a lot of trash. There’s no trash pick service so I called again and the woman told me there was a dumpster I could put my trash in. No problem, except it was completely full for the entire week. So, we had to load up our trash and take it with us… The cabin itself was cleaned but old and in need of some serious TLC. The carpet is ripped in a couple places and filthy. The bottom of our socks were black each night. And the spiders… I hate spiders. We killed at least a dozen in the week we were there. All in all, we enjoyed the stay but it’s time for us to move on to a nicer place.

My husband and I just returned from two wonderful, restful days at Tiny Town Cabins and we recommend this spot for a weekend get away or longer stay. The space is perfect for two. Our Riverbend cabin was clean, quiet and cosy. We lo ved our wood fireplace — especially on the snowy days. We didn’t do any cooking on the little gas range, but would have if we’d stayed longer. And we appreciated the fridge to store leftovers and snack. The cabin is basic, but the ammenities it has are more than adequate — good lighting, lots of hot water and did I mention the wood fireplace?! Another thing I loved is the mountain view from the kitchen window. And while the cabins are visible from the road, you don’t hear the traffic at all. The staff was friendly and helpful when we checked in and out. I would have liked a second bedside table and some hangers. That was all the was missing.

My husband and I stayed the nights of July 26th and 27th in «The Best View» cabin. It was beautiful! The cabins are so cozy and very nice. They are not old and«woodsy» or full of bugs or anything like that. They had everything we needed: plenty of fresh towels, toothpaste, soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner. The kitchen had all dishes needed to cook a meal, salt and pepper, coffee and a coffee maker-everything. The only thing that I was disappointed about(personally) is that our cabin did not have a bathtub and I LOVE baths and really wanted to take one while I was out there on vacation. But none the less, these cabins are awesome and we would definitely stay again! Oh and there were two elk right outside of the cabins, chipmunks, rabbits and humming birds everywhere! =]

Nice cabins, next to the river and affordable, but ours needed maintenance, it was all a little run down. I’d recommend the place as a great starting point for trips into RMNP and Estes Park.

Let me preface my review with honesty and tell you that I am not a «roughin’ it» kind of girl. So the cabins may be perfect for lots of people, but I could never get comfortable. I’ve listed a few positives and negatives for Tiny Town, but please hear that although I will not stay again, the cabins and the atmosphere are what are advertised.(except for the noise from the patrons of mini golf out front) Positives: Customer service is excellent; convenient to Estes Park for shopping and restaurants; on the Big Thompson River; cabin is very clean; thick bathroom towels; small wildlife everywhere. I was able to appreciate the outdated appliances because the cabin had that 50s/60s feel. Plenty of windows to let in the wonderfully cool breeze. Negatives: Front of property is not very picturesque and has the miniature golf course that is open until late… lots of crowd noise in the summer; pillows flat and uncomfortable; shower curtain was as thin as a garbage bag; awful smell coming from somewhere every morning; bathroom was incredibly small; the only seating is a plastic lawn chair in the«living room»(which is also the bedroom) and wooden dining chairs in the«sun room.» Exposed hot water heater and piping. Our cabin, #10, met our needs for lodging, but would be a little more likable if a decent shower curtain was installed so that it did not cling to the body while showering(there is only a shower). Get a couple of decent pillows and invest in «tiny» furniture for comfortable lounging. We, my husband and I, could never relax in the cabin unless we were ready to go to bed and even then, the bed is pushed against the wall so someone has to climb over the other. I would also recommend a covering for the hot water heater and shutters or curtains that cover a few of the open shelving and exposed piping. Because of this, I would not feel comfortable with small children in the cabin that we were in because of the exposed water piping and rough edges.

We spent two nights at Tiny Town Cabins, and would definitely stay again! The location was great, just about a mile outside the town of Estes Park, and within walking distance to a great BBQ restaurant and pizza joint. Also was a perfect location for hiking, as the park entrance was right down the road, but we didn’t have to drive through town to get there. The cabins were tiny but adorable. Very comfortable, homey and private. Normally I wouldn’t like wood paneling on the walls, but it was a perfect fit in these cabins with the quirky old décor, and I felt like I was staying at a friend’s house in the woods. The things that mattered were high quality: beds, bedding, towels, appliances, etc. But make sure you ask how to work your heater if you go in colder months, we couldn’t get ours turned on. The service was great, very friendly and helpful with directions.
