Great family home with privacy and ammenities
We enjoyed our stay with my family for my son’s wedding. The property is on a private road very, very close to the wild Basin lodge. So much wildlife right outside your door including a family of Moose! Inside this home has everything you need to be comfortable. I was worried it did not not have air-conditioning, but that turns out not to be a problem as it’s always very comfortable in the home. Owner was very responsive to any questions I had. Great

Lone Star cabin
Very clean, owners very responsive to only slight issues. Kitchen well stocked, (no Keurig though). The only reason I docked one star was cabin is pretty close to hwy 7. We typically stay more farther from hwy. no noise issue from road just hoped for more wild life. Tons of hummingbirds!

Travelled with family and small children
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The owners live on the property in a travel trailer right next to the home, sharing utilities, and watch every move you make. Then called us to complain because we moved a chair, even though we left the home very clean. We did move a chair out of a tiny space in a room and into the living room that had little seating. We felt harassment from the owners, with calls and dirty looks, and comments to our family. They walked around the property at night with flashlights. They were angry that we brought our dog to the home that was pet friendly. We were undecided about whether or not to bring him and decided to at the last minute. She questioned us several times on why we did not pre- pay. Which I have never done, yet was apparently in the description. I asked if I could Venmo her the cash, no: then she said they would have VRBO bill us, which was fine, after I asked where an ATM was. Then I said great please bill us. She called after well left angry that we had not left cash and she had offer told to bill us vs driving 45 minutes to the nearest town to get cash. We bring our dog often and pay upon check out. Not before we arrive. I would not recommend the home as it is not private with the owners living in their trailer 10 yds away. There are over 8 acres, yet the home is between the trailer, horse corral and the garage. So very little privacy. Our entire family felt like unwelcome guests. It is very close to a road so there is a lot of road noise. Would never stay here again.

This house is beautiful. We stayed for Christmas and the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to cook and bake. We loved having a white Christmas, but really would like to see this place in the summer. The wrap around deck is beautiful too! Rosemary was great with communicating and even told us a lot about the history of the cabin. So fascinating! 10/10 would recommend staying here!

Beautiful Setting & Cozy House
We selected this home for it's proximity to Wild Basin. The wooded setting and resident Llama and Horse made this location idyllic! The house was country cozy with a newer kitchen. The owners were very responsive to our emails. Great place for a family or group of friends!

A very comfortable, well-equipped house
The house and all it’s furnishings were great. Can't think of anything that could have made it better…except, the nightly rate was greatly reduced after we booked but before we arrived, and we were not offered any reduction in the charges. We had to ask for it, and even then, it was not what was being quoted on the website.

This was our first ever vacation for the entire family. We took are grown children and grandchildren to Colorado for the first time ever. We have been coming to the Allenspark area for many years now and wanted to share it with the rest of our family. Simply put, it could not have been a better family experience. Our hosts, Brian and Rosemary were friendly, helpful And their Lonestar property left nothing to be desired. It is virtually minutes from everything you could want to see or do in the Estes Park, RMNP area. The entire family, grandchildren included, absolutely raved about the experience and convinced us that this should not be the last. Overall, an experience that exceeded our expectations.

We stayed 3 nights & hiked Longs Peak— less than 5 miles away from the trailhead. This is a PERFECT combination of secluded and well-appointed home. Every thing we could have needed was here. I’m so grateful we stayed at Rosemary & Brian’s cabin.

Family gathering to remember who had passed away several years ago. We had several generations of several family groups from around the US - Kansas, Iowa, Maryland, Illinois, possibly other states. Gathering location was near Allenspark so this location was minutes from the "home site".

The house was perfect, lots of space, everything you could need and beautiful location. Loved the hummingbirds, the horse and llama. Elk came near one evening which was amazing. The hosts were very helpful and we love exploring the area. Rocky Mtn National Park was breath taking and not to be missed. We had a great time and look forward to returning.
