Great for RMNP visits.

Stayed in #2 Hummingbird. Plenty of space for family of 4. Perfect outside of town landing point when visiting RMNP. No view of river from this particular cabin, but plenty of spots by the river to relax. Pros: clean, convenient to town and RMNP. Nice porch to sip coffee on a cool morning. Cons: Shower is short and small, had to bend down to get my head wet. Not a big deal, just an annoyance.

Great Atmosphere and comfort

My cabin was about two feet from the roaring Big Thompson river. That was so cool. Can't imagine if the river was higher. Crazy. At first you think, wow that river is loud, but it lulls you to sleep right away. Everything was comfortable, maybe a little worn, but it was great. A bit expensive too. But the porch swing on the river was really nice.

Firm beds

The beds were firm for our tastes, ages from 90 to 15. The drain on the bathroom sink could only be opened or clsed from under the sink. Overall a good experience.
