Bishop's Retreat at RMNP

Located very close to the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park with beautiful southerly views and deer walking right by the property, this was a great base for our trips into the park. Main living areas clearly original with updated bedrooms, kitchen and baths. Felt very private, backing up to the mountain and few nearby properties were occupied in mid-October. Would definitely go back!

Wonderful Mountain Chalet

What a wonderful visit we had. The mountain views were spectacular. The elk walking through the yard was such a treat. The early morning coffee on the deck with family was so relaxing. Everything we needed was available and so close to downtown Estes Park. We would definitely recommend this cabin and hoping we can stay there again in the future.

The checkin was very easy. The cabin has everything you will need. The view off the deck of Long’s Peak is spectacular. Entrance to RMNP is like 5 minutes away. Very quiet part of Estes Park.

Bishops Retreat for RMNP Wedding

We had a great experience at this property. We had planned a wedding in Rocky Mountain national Park, and even though it was cold and snowy, everything went off as planned. The home was well appointed and well heated. We had plenty of space for our guests, plenty of hot water for showers, and enjoyed our stay immensely.

Paradise in heaven

Pictures don’t do enough justice for this place. The only thing we regret is that we did not stay longer. How often you get to see group of Mule deers at your backyard? Elks just a few miles away and wake up to a awesome view of snow capped Rocky Mountains. The place was neat and clean with more than enough room for our family. We will come back again for sure.

Million dollar view

The view from the front desk is spectacular, sunrise in particular. Pricey, but worth it in my opinion. Lots of space if you're having a crowd (we had 7).

Great location, beautiful scenery

The house was very spacious for our group of 6. Everyone had their own space and the community areas were awesome. Broad spacious views of the Rockies, short drive into town, just an overall great weekend. Downstairs bedrooms had external private access, or a very tight spiral staircase from the living room area for internal access. We managed it pretty good, but if you had little ones, you may want to bring a gate to ensure they don’t tumble down. Upstairs room is a whole floor to yourself and extremely comfortable. Exterior spaces were more than enough for our group. Would stay here again, but would take the listing recommendation to bring extra toilet paper and paper towels since extras are not provided beyond the initial rolls when you arrive.

Great stay in large cabin home!

Our family had a great stay here! The house is secluded from others and has an amazing view of Longs Peak +. Our group of 8 could be together while never feeling crowded due to the expansive kitchen-dining-great room area, the deck, and the grounds in front of and behind the house. Kids loved exploring. The mule deer passing through seemed so peaceful. Clean, well-appointed, historic but modernized, close to the town and Park = amazing!

Fabulous stay

Great cabin in a marvellously quiet location. A big thank you too, to the SkyRun property team who were really understanding and allowed us to stay well past our checkout time when our rental car had broken down and the rental company (Fox) let us down with a replacement vehicle.

Family hiking at RMNP

Size and scale for a comfortable gathering of 6 to 8 people. Amazing views and great location near park and quick drive into town. Well stocked kitchen, but only 1 bar of soap and no shampoo. Minimal window shades, so plan to get up with the sun.

Hidden Treasure

Three couples made this a destination on our way back to Iowa from Denver. We stayed three days and Loved it. Very clean and kitchen was well stocked. Lots of room so we weren't tripping over ourselves. Extremely close to everything. Saw wildlife in the front yard! There are only two very minor suggestions. 1. make sure you bring a blow dryer if you use one. Luckily the Estes Park True Value was stocked. 2. There are no outside front lights. We left pretty early in the morning to head back and would have been nice to have a lit path down the steps. None of the suggestions would deter us from returning!

5 Star Deck!

The deck alone makes this cabin a 5 star place! Its a bit aged inside, and has some quirks, but everything was functional (minus the coffee pot) and the property management team does a great job caring for the place. Incredible views, marvelous location, and plenty spacious for a big family.
