Reviews of Big Thompson Pool Cabin (Travel Agency)

Danny Johnson

Great cabin with plenty of space for 7 adults and 3 kids. Has everything you need from cooking utensils to pool toys. Not far from Estes and and still get great privacy.

We just spent a few days at this property.. My only regret is we didn’t book for a longer stay. Our adult children, their spouses Granddaughter and Great Granddaughter had a great time. This home has everything you need and more. . The Sound system that can be played throughout the home and or outdoors is a added bonus. The owners are so very friendly and helpful and just a few minutes away should you need their assistance. We live in Colorado and usually travel out of state for our vacations, but no more. Can’t wait to plan our next vacation in this home in Drake Colorado. I highly recommend this property for your next vacation.

Just spent 5 days at The Big Thompson Pool cabin, Oct. 10th-15th, 2017. 3 adults and 3 young adults ages 18-20. We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the sauna, jacuzzi, pool table, fire pit and the guitar with a binder of chords and chord music. The sonos app was a hit! The younger adults could jam downstairs, playing pool while us adults were upstairs watching a movie. We loved the app because you can play music in all rooms or just one or two and even outside when you like. The cabin is stocked very well with every kitchen item you can think of. Tons of towels and extra blankets as well. I was surprised that two of us that had Iphones were able to facetime with friends while at the cabin and also able to text and receive texts at times. The first morning there we enjoyed watching the Bighorn sheep just up the mountain side behind the cabin while we had our morning coffee. We hiked that mountain later that afternoon and my son made it all the way to the top while the rest of us only half the way. Definitely, a work out!! We were very concerned about the road closure on 34 between Estes and Loveland. However, it ended up not being a big deal with a little planning in advance. We made sure that we booked our flight early enough to arrive at Denver International Airport get our rental car and groceries so we could make it into loveland before road closed at 7 pm. We thought we would have to book 48 hours in advance to get a pilot car to take us from cabin into Estes Park on 43 when the roads were closed but that was not the case at all we could go to Estes Park and then into Rocky Mountain National Park anytime we pleased. Clare's cabin is just up the road on the right about a 1/4 mile from 43 which takes you into Estes. So, we just jumped in the car and drove down to 43 and the workers would let us through. We never had to wait more than 3 minutes. I was very glad however, that we did get a rental car with GPS navigation system because there is no cell service in the canyon. The GPS allowed us to find places in Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park with ease which otherwise we would not had been able to do on our phone. So, definitely, keep that in mind especially if you are not familiar with the area. We left on Sunday and were able to stay till our check out time at 10 because on Sunday they had pilot cars running every 15 mins on 34 to and from Loveland which was nice because we got to sleep in a bit. I never met Clare or her hubby but spoke on the phone many times with Clare. She was very sweet and answered the millions of questions I had about the road closure. Clare, does have a land line at the cabin where you can receive calls and call out anywhere in the U.S. for free. So, if you need to book stuff in Estes it's not a problem. The only thing I regret, is that we didn't stay longer!!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Everything worked great, it was very clean, and well stocked with the little things needed to make the stay comfortable. We’re looking forward to going back!

My husband and I were part of a group of 6 (all in our late 20s) that shared this house and all we could say was WOW. The road closures weren't even the slightest issue and actually helped us plan our days more easily. We all loved enjoying coffee on the sauna deck in the mornings; cooked all but one of our meals for a WEEK using all of the different types of grills and the stove/oven as well as the infinite number of utensils/cookware necessary; swimming in the 90-degree pool; enjoying the huge TVs and watching our HBO shows as they aired live -- and these are just the things we did IN the house. We enjoyed Rocky Mountain National Park, Carter Lake, Devil's Backbone, Fort Collins, Boulder, and Estes Park. We were genuinely overwhelmed by how phenomenal our vacation was and none of us wanted to leave. Beds were beyond comfortable, showers were incredible, and linens were never an issue. Clare and Armando went above and beyond in all they communicated with and provided for us. We are so grateful that they are so willing to share this slice of utopia with others! The only thing we ever had trouble with was the Sonos sound system - which is AMAZING - because the WiFi is kind of spotty sometimes, but it really didn't detract from our experience at all. If you're stuck between deciding between this house and another, PICK THIS ONE. We cannot wait to come back!!

Tammy McGuire

Such a beautiful house with wonderful staff and attentive owners.

Olivia Montoya

Pure bliss. Attentive, yet non-invasive owner and staff make you feel like the space really is yours while on vacation.

Absolutely Magical! We spent our honeymoon here, and although we had initially planned to head into RMNP to do some photography, we ended up never leaving the cabin. Our days and nights were spent enjoying the awesome sound system, heated pool, hot tub, sauna, fire pit, beautiful canyon scenery, cedar rock shower, star gazing while floating in the pool, and many many hours playing pool in the lower level. Clare made sure everything was in place upon arrival and that we were well taken care of, you really can't go wrong staying here if you enjoy a private oasis atmosphere with easy access to the more touristy areas. The worst part of the trip was leaving. Absolutely MAGICAL!
