We had an amazing time at your beautiful home and there just isn't enough space here to express how memorable this vacation was for us!!  It has left a lasting impression and priceless memories for us - especially the kids!  We were able to experience warmer weather and also a tremendous amount of snow for sledding.  We saw many elk and deer and were able to get priceless videos.  We cannot imagine spending this vacation anywhere but Awestruck!!  We will definitely be back!!  Thank you a million times over!!

Awestruck was the perfect getaway.  My husband just returned from a 9 month deployment to Afghanistan.  This was such a great way to relax and reconnect with eachother.  We couldn't have asked for a nicer place.

Words can't describe this beautiful vacation home and amazing views!  Thank you for allowing my family to spend a winter get-a-way in your amazing home.  Everything we needed was here and it is hard to leave this wonderful home!  We can't wait to return and are already planning our summer escape to Awestruck!
Robert and Family
2/4/12 - 2/8/12

This was our family's Christmas present to rent your beautiful vacation home.  Creating memories instead of gifts.  We loved everything about your home and appreciate all the details.  It was a 5-star experience.  We all loved your photos.  When we arrived, we were greeted by 5 deer  that visited us every day.  Two bobcats crossed the road in front of our car and stopped to check us out.  We also saw 5 coyotes and lots of elk.  
Mark, Laura and family
1/7/12- 1/11/12

What an awesome vacation house!  Thank you David and Beth for sharing this beautiful home, view, park and amazing animals with us.  All I can say is I really don't want to go home yet - snow, mountains, cozy blankets - who could ask for more?  We've really been blessed to be here.  
William, Amy, Abby and Max
11/19/11- 11/26/11

Sheryl and Mike
11/10/11- 11/13/11

It's hard to find words of thanks to you for renting your home.  Our trips here are truly priceless.  Yesterday we fed deer from out hands!!  Today it is snowing!  Your vacation home is a class 1 vacation home; you go all out with the "extras" you provide.  When you call to "check in", I feel we have been friends for years.  We thank you both very much.
Karen and Jerry
11/3/11- 11/6/11

What a magical five days.  This was our second time staying in your beautiful vacation home.  The second day we were here, it snowed 20 inches - a winter wonderland in October!  Thank you so much for making it possible to have such a marvelous vacation.  Your home is so warm and comfortable.  We plan to be back and rent many more times.  God bless you and your family.

What a wonderful place. Awestruck is well named; the views are tremendous. The house has captured the character of the Rockies by virtue of its position and careful choice of furnishings and décor. The quality of the accommodations is top class and provided us with a lovely base from which to explore the National Park. Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us!

Michael, Jamie, and Ellie
6/11/11 - 6/17/11

Thank you so much for your generosity in allowing others to enjoy this sublime location. It was difficult to leave Estes Park and this vacation home. All of us love the mountain and hiking, so we were hard-wired for this particular vacation. Of course, even if we were couch potatoes, we would have been content to just sit here and enjoy your spectacular panoramic views. My wife, the budding photographer, is particularly envious of your wonderful pictures that so enhance your beautiful vacation house. Next time, weather permitting, we intend to do Longs Peak. We felt like guests and not just renters.
John, John, Melanie and May

We came to Awestruck for my husband’s 40th birthday. It was a surprise to him that we were staying here, and he said it was more than he could imagine or had hoped for. Thank you for making my husband’s special day all the more memorable! We will be back!
Jennifer and Scott
6/1/11- 6/4/11

This is a great home with an amazingly warm feel.  I came here to purchase a new home and I wanted to see other homes in the area so I would know what to expect from the rental process.   When I saw how beautiful and perfect your home is, I almost panicked at the thought of making my home come up to your standards.  I look forward to being your neighbor.      
Terry
3/9/2011 - 3/11/2011

5 Stars
Our week in Estes Park was serene and beautiful.
Our theme for the week was seek and you shall find.  Everything you could need in a home was at Awestruck.  The kitchen had all of the necessary gadgets to cook a big family meal.  The views were gorgeous from so many vantage points in the home.  We had a spectacular week and although I like to visit many different places, my husband and I have traveled to Rocky Mountain National Park many times and could definitely see ourselves coming back.  If so, Awestruck would be our only choice in the area.  Awestruck is a fabulous home with all the creature comforts you could ask for in a home.

Awestruck was absolutely perfect!
I invited two other couples to join us for my birthday weekend and we had an amazing time.   The house had everything you could ever need.  We hated to leave!  I was very impressed that the owner call us the first morning to see if we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our stay.  Such a nice personal touch!

The photos don’t do it justice.
You know how sometimes you look at the on-line photos of a property and the real thing just doesn't live up to the pictures? You know how sometimes you read the rave reviews and when you get there you wonder what those people were thinking? Well awestruck is far better than the pictures. The view is far better than the pictures. The property is far better than the reviews. And snowshoeing in Rocky Mountain National Park is heaven. And following a cold, snowing day in the mountains with a really hot hot tub (and really cold beer) is the best of all. Full disclosure: the property managers keep the house in tip top condition, but we found them difficult to deal with. They raised the price above the price quoted on Flip Key, and wouldn't honor their advertised price (bait and switch), but we went anyway and the place was worth the money. They pushed the "property damage insurance" (which we declined) and then we had a hassle at the end over some small damage -- in fairness, this was resolved satisfactorily. Conclusion: we'll go back again and again.

Gorgeous, warm, cozy, perfect house.
It is hard to describe how gorgeous and wonderful Awestruck is, or how perfect our stay at Awestruck was. The house is warm, beautiful and equipped with everything you could possibly want, and the views from all windows are stunning.  We had such an amazing weekend, and saw deer and elk each day of our stay.  My family cannot wait to go back.  I can't think of a more perfect place to spend a family vacation.  Than you for opening your home to us!

A beautiful vacation home that lives up to the great reviews
We are a family of four (Mom, Dad, 2 young, adult children) who stayed for 5 days at Awestruck in Estes Park this September. Thanks to Trip Adviser and Flip Key reviews, we had very high expectations. This place is truly worthy of all the great reviews!  It starts with extremely friendly and customer-oriented owners, who clearly have worked hard to provide an outstanding experience for their guests.

The home is very nicely furnished in true "mountain retreat" style, with every amenity you could ask for. We cooked several meals there, and always found whatever we needed to prepare and serve our food.  All of the utensils, dishes, and appliances were very high quality and super-clean.

The views were entrancing, whether from the deck or from inside the house.  After hours of hiking, we sure appreciated the hot tub to tend to our sore muscles! I loved the photographs that adorned every room, all taken by the owner, with amazing shots of wildlife from Colorado and Alaska (and other places, I'm sure).

The folks at the gatehouse, where you check in, are very friendly and helpful, with good advice on sensible precautions (bears are active this year!) and suggestions for local activities.  Honestly, the home was so clean and welcoming, the only problem I had with the place was checking out...we really hated to leave.

Highly, highly, recommended for couples or families who are looking for an amazing place to stay that offers privacy and all the comforts of home, in a fabulous mountain setting.

Absolutely Amazing
Let me just say that Awestruck is the perfect name for this house. Not only was this home more beautiful than we expected, the views were incredible. There was nothing anyone could need staying here, the owners thought of everything. every little detail was thought out and perfect. For some of us, it was our first trip to the area and Awestruck spoiled us. I loved that David, the owner even called us upon arrival to see if we needed anything..I loved that. Would definitely stay again!

Fabulous Family Retreat
We enjoyed a great week at awestruck. The owners have provided everything you could need or want for a great vacation. If traveling with toddlers, be prepared to use your ingenuity to block off 2 stair cases. The views are amazing in this comfortably luxurious home. The Windcliff staff was very responsive and took care of the few issues we had in the week. We enjoyed the location as well, far enough out of Estes to be very serene and quiet.

Service was terrific. The home is beautifully decorated. The pictures don't do it justice!! Seems like a small thing, but since cell phones don't work there, the owner has provided a land line for all to use--they have thought of everything. The hot tub was enjoyed by all. Our kids enjoyed hiking the trails right on the mountain. We had a wonderful week of vacation and would rent from Windcliff again!!

Exceeded Expectations
We had high expectations after reading reviews and seeing photos of Awestruck and we were not disappointed. We were in awe from the minute we stepped inside! The house does not have the feel of a rental...it's more like a home of a friend.

My wife and I traveled with my 20 year old son and 18 year old daughter (tough ages to please) and they truly enjoyed hanging in the great room, playing xBox, and reading on the deck overlooking Rocky Mountain National Park. They also took use of the iHome unit in the kitchen by playing country music via an iPhone throughout our stay and watched a few of the movies available in the well stocked collection.

During our stay we took advantage of activities within 20 minutes - golf, fishing, downtown shopping, dinning out, touring the park, and horseback riding. The later I do not recommend the day before a 4 hour flight home as our bottoms are somewhat sore :-). We also spotted Elk and deer almost ever time we ventured out.

I would recommend Awestruck to anyone looking for the adventures of the Estes Park area or someone looking for high end accommodations (at a decent price) for relaxing whilst taking in awesome views.

Some tips - you may want to check out what's in the kitchen before doing any serious food shopping as the kitchen is well stocked with the basics. I also suggest getting use to the altitude for a few days before traveling into the higher sections of the park. You also want to avoid downtown on the weekends if possible as it gets busy (or venture into town early or later in the evening). We went horseback ridding just down the road at Cowpoke Corner Corral and took the 2 hour tour which was basically switchbacks up and down the mountain. While we did enjoy the ride and views, I think we would have preferred their sister stable rides in the park. And again, you may not want to ride the day before a long journey home.

I wanted to end my review by saying the house has all the comfort of home...but...we don't have a 7 person hot tub, a great room with such views, a sunken tub in our master bedroom, a king size bed in our daughters room, views of the Rocky Mountains, or so many actives within 15 minutes of our home. We make a point to do something special during our annual vacation together and this one is going down as one of the best!

Awestruck offered us luxury and comfort in our very favorite place
Awestruck is a beautiful home located in a spectacular setting. Offering terrific views of the mountains, every creature-comfort one could want, and personal touches that make it more of a vacation "home" than a rental house, Awestruck was the perfect place for us to stay. It is immaculate, wonderfully decorated, and furnished perfectly. The amenities are unsurpassed...every appliance you could want...fully stocked kitchenware...upscale TVs and video equipment...comfy furniture & beds...gas grill...washer/dryer...the works! Perhaps one of the very best features of the home is the vast collection of wildlife photography (all taken by the owner, himself)...stunning work that truly adds to value of the home! We cannot say enough great things about Awestruck...we'll be back, for sure!

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and having a most enjoyable stay. We appreciate all you provided in your home for your guests to use. The view is beautiful. We were married while in Estes, with our reception/dinner at the Stanley Hotel. We are high school sweet hearts that re-united after being apart for 31 years and missing each other all that time. Our phrase on the bottom of our wedding invitations is "It is never too late to live happily ever after". We could not believe our eyes when we walked in to the master bedroom and saw the needle point framed picture of the same phrase. We knew it was meant to be for us to spend that special time in your home. We enjoyed much wildlife near the house; mule deer right outside our windows, elk, wild turkey, rabbits, chipmunks, humming birds, many other birds.

Awestruck in an understatment
I felt like a Queen staying at this castle!  The attention to detail was amazing & there wasn't  a single thing I would have changed (okay maybe the road getting in, but I understand without the trek I wouldn't have the views...so it was well worth it).  High end everything and truly unbelievable views.  Best beds we have ever slept on and by far the best place we have every stayed.  Next time, we're bringing guests!  I'm still speechless.  The pics don't even do justice to it.  Do keep in mind, though, that Windcliff has a zero cancellation policy w/n 30 days of arrival, and they told me that includes weather that would prohibit you from accessing the cabin. For us, it was a gamble worth taking, but I also think it is worth mentioning.

Absolutlely amazing property and mountain views...just outstanding
We planned a trip to "Awestruck" to surprise my Mother who is battling liver cancer so bravely! I don't know what to say but thank you Beth and David for allowing us to spend the most wonderful time together as a family! We played games, set by the fire, grilled out on the deck with the amazing views, enjoyed the hot tub, and watched the Giants win the Super Bowl (Go Giants!). There were seven of us that stayed and we had plenty of room throughout this amazing house! My Mom had such a wonderful time and I think this is just what she needed to get her mind and spirit in a good place. I feel when she returns home she will be able to fight even harder to beat her cancer! We took lots of pictures of the deer and elk that wandered by the property. My brothers and I enjoyed some morning runs around the Eaglecliff Circle loop but since I'm from Indiana I had to walk up the hills, the altitude will humble you no matter what kind of shape you are in. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this property with us and special thanks to Windcliff Properties for making the reservation and stay effortless! We can’t wait to come back!!!

5 Stars The house made for a magical honeymoon!
This house was simply amazing!  So much room and so many things to do!  My husband and I chose this house for our honeymoon because of its location, good reviews and breathtaking scenery The pictures posted cannot portray the beauty of the scenery surrounding this home.  Another reason we chose this house is for seclusion (just enough seclusion that we wouldn't have other homes in our view of the mountains).  We stopped to get groceries and were not bored for 1 second at this home for the 3 days we stayed.  The hot tub, games in the loft, movies that are provided & wildlife surrounding the area made our vacation enjoyable and relaxing.  We are from Texas and were worried about driving in the snow, but the roads leading to this home are very well kept!  Windcliff office staff were super friendly and the owner will call you the first night of your stay to welcome you. We've already started to plan our next vacation to this home for next year!

A+ Rental from the Home to the Staff
Our first trip to Estes Park was in 1978. We started coming on a regular basis, 1-2 times per year, since 1990. The Awestruck is by far our favorite home at Windcliff, not that all the homes are Great ... But the Awestruck goes above & Beyond! For example, all homes come equipped with the essentials (hair dryers, iron & ironing board, etc) but David & Beth provide you with Top Notch products. They also continue to improve their home with new items. This year we were surprised to see they added Heated Floors in the bathrooms!! What a Plus!! There were also new decorations in the home. David makes it a point to call all guests on their first night ... Just to be sure everything is OK!! He makes you feel as if you have been "friends" for a long time. We look forward to all our trips at the Awestruck Home and will be counting the months until we come back.

This house was one of the most beautiful homes I have seen, & the views where spectacular. It meant a lot to us that the owner contacted us when we got there and asked us how things were going. We enjoyed his booklet giving us a little history on his vision on how he wanted this house to be enjoyed by all guests. Everything in that house from the furniture, to the wall decor is so inviting, You become so relaxed in this house. This was one off the most relaxing vacations I have ever been on. I will definitely come back and stay here again. Thanks to the owners for letting us enjoy your beautiful home!!!
I will recommend this place to everybody I know.

I spent a long "girls getaway" weekend at Awestruck with two friends.   The house is beautiful and much bigger than needed.  The views are superb.  It is very near the entrance to the national park, and the town of Estes Park.  The only drawback to the house is that the downstairs bedrooms share a bath, knocking the feeling of luxury down just a step.  Also, it would have been nice to have had some basic food staples available.  The kitchen was well appointed for cooking, but we had to buy everything (condiments, etc.) so it was a bit pricey.  Would definitely recommend the house, though.  The management and owner are all very helpful and attentive.  Mountain views from every room!

Awestruck has it all!
We loved everything about this house - the setting, the views, the amenities and the furnishings.  The owners have taken great care to make this the perfect getaway.  David, the owner, even check in with us the first evening to be sure that we were comfortable and that everything met our expectations.

Fantastic Home
This was our seventh September at Windcliff and the fifth home we have stayed in. It is a wonderful home with great views and every imaginable amenity. If this house doesn't have it you probably don't need it. This was the first time an owner has actually called us at the home to introduce himself and tell us about the unique features of the home. This made us feel as though we were true guests as opposed to mere renters. This is a truly lovely and welcoming house that we hope to occupy for many September visits to come. If I were ever to use superlatives to describe a place (which I do not as rule) this would surely be the exception as per the title of this review.

I would give it more stars if I could!
Simply a wonderful house!  We loved everything about it and the location!  There was plenty of room for everyone (me, my wife, our 10 month old son and my parents). We cooked at the house every night and enjoyed some spectacular views. The living room does get warm in the afternoon, but we just opened windows and got a really nice breeze going through the house. Besides, I will gladly take the warmth in the afternoon to get the views that we were afforded out of those living room windows!

Loved it!
We had a wonderful time at Awestruck. The home was beautiful and so were the views of the mountains. It was a real treat for our family to be able to spend some time there. As opposed to some rental properties, Awestruck really felt like a home. It is clear that the owners took a great deal of pride in furnishing and decorating this home. Our family was very comfortable at Awestruck - we enjoyed the mountain views from the great room, deck, and hot tub. It was a really nice touch for the owner to call us the day we arrived to make sure we had gotten settled in and to see if there was anything we needed. We had a great time and have many wonderful memories (not to mention photos and video) of our time at Awestruck.

A beautiful house, in a magnificant location
The attention to detail in the house, where comfort and luxury are woven together, ensured we lacked for nothing.  We are all from Europe and have spent many vacations in rental houses throughout France, Italy, Switzerland and England. Awestruck ranks as one of the very finest. Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine, after hiking in the Rocky Mountain National Park, enjoying the panoramic view of the snow-capped mountains of the continental divide was just fabulous.

Wonderful
The best vacation we have ever had. The house was beautiful and spotless. Everything you could possibly need was already there. The views from the house were breathtaking. Perfect weather. The homeowner even called our first day to see if we got there OK and did we need anything. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Our family will be booking this house again. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Awestruck was ahhh-mazing!
I rented this home for three nights as a surprise for my husband's 40th birthday.  I was expecting a beautiful home from the pictures, but you know how it is...sometimes pictures lie. Not with this house. If anything, the pictures did not do this home justice!!! Everything was breathtakingly amazing... words fail me when I try to accurately express how blown away we were by this house!! The home has every amenity you could possibly want or need... in fact, hubby and I started playing a game where we purposely attempted to think of random items and then try to find them in the house. I thought I had "won" when I wanted a cookie sheet and couldn't find one, but realized my attempt was thwarted when he discovered a multitude of cookie sheets in the drawer beneath the oven (don't know why I didn't look there first!). We never did come up with anything that the house didn't have. There were plenty of towels, about 10 extra pillows if the ones on the beds weren't to your liking, tons of dishes, cups, etc. We truly felt like we were home.  I would 100% recommend this property, as well as Windcliff, to friends or family...with no hesitation whatsoever!!

Best Vacation Home We Ever Rented
It was a pleasure dealing with the Windcliff Properties. We had our two babies along with our family and they stated that they had pack-n-plays and high chairs so we requested that two of each would be there. When we arrived we noted that there were no high chairs there, we called Windcliff and before we knew it a very nice girl was delivering our highchairs. We appreciated their promptness. Their staff was very friendly and courteous. As for Awestruck it was amazing. We have never felt so at home as we did here. The house is amazing and there is a beautiful view from every window. David, the owner, called us to see how everything was going and if we were enjoying ourselves on the first day. My son on Saturday wanted to watch some fights on t.v. that were a paid per view site and I called Windcliff to see if it would be possible for us to get that and they said they would contact the owner but they were not making any promises. A few hours later, David called and talked to my son and he arranged for us to be able to watch the fights and they just added it to our bill. I was so impressed that he took the time to do that for my son and we very much appreciated that. We hope to come back again next year. I would recommend this house to anyone, it was so clean and furnished so beautifully I cant imagine anyone not falling in love with it. We have been to Estes Park many times and I can't even imagine coming back here and not staying at Awestruck. The only negative feedback I could give is that I wished they supplied you with a few more dish towels and dish cloths, I think there were 2 or 3 of each and we did a lot of cooking so we had to wash them everyday which was fine since there was a washer and dryer that we were able to use. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home, we will be back again!  The style and furnishings of the home went beyond our expectations in spending a few restful and peaceful days together in a mountain cabin. We couldn't get enough of staring out the window or sitting on the deck of Awestruck at the panoramic beauty that only the Rocky Mountains can offer. It was a most romantic getaway with the comfort of the house, the views, the hot tub and the fireplace. We will definitely visit Awestruck again. Thank you.

Didn't Want to Leave
We enjoyed every minute of luxury and comfort at Awestruck.  It was a wonderful place to get away with good friends.  Highlights were relaxing in the cozy couches, making s'mores in the wood-burning fireplace, and grilling on the back patio.  Our only complaint was not being able to find oven mitts - that is how hard we had to try to find something to complain about!

We were "Awestuck" by Awestruck - Beautiful, Warm and Amazing Home
Awestruck is the best home we've ever rented.  The owners thought of absolutely everything to make  their guests feel at home.  The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need for cooking, baking and entertaining.  There is even an "Honor Bar" that stocks bottles of wine that you replace if you drink. The decor in the home is beautiful; wildlife photos taken by David, the owner, line the walls of the home. The sheets on the very comfortable beds are soft and of a high-quality grade, which is usually uncommon for a rental home. Anyone could literally move right in to this home and not need to bring anything but their clothes. There is an Xbox and games, Blue Ray DVD player and movies, CD player and CD's, a connection for your Ipod and speakers, a hot tub that seats up to 6 people, and top-of- the- line T.V.'s. The scenery from where this home sits is magnificent.  You can really tell how much pride the owners take in this home. It is also evident how seriously they take making their guests happy. David even called us to welcome us, ensure everything was in working order, and give us tidbits of information on great things to do while here.  The check-in office staff are so welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable of the area and all it has to offer.  There is even a resident kitty who lives in the check-in office named Mr. Bond and he greets you as well with open paws.  We don't want to leave but alas, we must.  This is where we will stay when we return though.  No need to look into any other rental properties.

A Room with a View
After some initial weather related setbacks, which were no ones fault and which were handled admirably by the reception staff, we settled in for a very pleasant 5 night stay.  The house is quite beautiful and fully appointed; a great room with fireplace and a dramatic view of the Rockies, a kitchen dining area with every need satisfied, bedrooms with beautiful views and comfortable beds and bedding, sitting areas with tvs, videos, games, etc.  We wanted for nothing and enjoyed the location, convenient to both Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park, where we enjoyed snowshoeing and hiking through the forests and around the lakes.  Highly recommended.

Our Trip and Stay was Awestruck in Every Way
Our family was "Awestruck” during our entire stay at Awestruck! My husband, our 10 year old daughter and 4 month old baby girl all made the trip from sunny Florida to Estes Park. This was a memorable and wonderful get away. It was our older daughter's first time seeing snow. Our family pictures were amazing. The mountains in the back drop. The wild animals we saw every day…elk, deer and rabbits.  The home was so comfortable for us. It had every convenience that we could have ever asked for or expected. Awestruck exceeded our expectations.  It was so private and roomy. I love to cook and I have never rented a home that had a kitchen as well stocked with kitchen ware as this one. A cooks dream!  Even the last detail of providing glass storage Tupperware for left over's made cleaning up so easy.  Everywhere we went in the home, we could see the beauty surrounding us. The views from everywhere were just breathtaking.  Waking up in the morning, eating meals and lounging around a fire in the evening all provided the most relaxing and gorgeous views.  A nice fun touch was the games that we supplied in the house. Very cool, this owner thought of the guests every possible need.  I loved that we never ran out of towels and had an overage of pillows and blankets. The full size washer and dryer made keeping up with family laundry easy. The hangers supplied in all the closets made it easy for us to keep things neat and organized.  It was all the little things that made our stay effortless. The home, its decor and the comfortable furniture made this our favorite home away from home. We can't wait to visit awestruck again and look forward to sharing our experience and wonderful vacation with our friends and family now that we are home.

Phenomenal
My wife and I spent Nov. 1 - Nov. 5 at Awestruck. Besides the obvious that the views and location are ideal, Awestruck (what an appropriate name) is a phenomenal place to stay.  We have stayed at 7 different properties at Windcliff and Awestruck is in our opinion the best so far!  The owners have thought of every detail to make this an unforgettable place to vacation. We did not need anything that wasn't provided by the owners, in fact we always bring a laptop with us on vacation but a desktop computer is provided to be used by the guests.  They even go so far as to provide an "Instruction Manual" that details how to operate the blu-ray system, theater system, DTV, hot tub, whirlpool, etc... and where to find items within the home that may be needed while vacationing.  Speaking of DTV we found the many music stations provided by DTV to be ideal when relaxing on the deck with the doors opened.  The furnishings and interior decorations are comfortable and inviting and the photos lining the walls, sitting on tables, counters, etc. are ideal for a mountain vacation home.  We just hope the word about this property doesn't spread, we're afraid it won't be available the next time we plan at trip to the mountains!

Awestruck was really awesome.  The house was a great find.  View was terrific.  Checking in and out was easy.  Awestruck had everything in it we needed.  Only thing was that we prefer music to tv.  Would have been nice to have a sound system.  But it was a great week none the less.  Great time watching the full moon in the front of the fire.  We loved everything about it and will return.

This was by far our best rental experience ever (30 + years)!  The cabin was immaculate, the decor reflected the mountain experience and the view was spectacular.  I was also impressed by the fact that the owner called to find out if everything was OK and if we were having a good time.  In fact, he took the time to suggest some very creative hikes in the park.  We are definitely interested in returning again to Awestruck next year if the property is available.

Awestruck was the most enjoyable place we have stayed at Windcliff or anywhere else on our travels.  The attention to detail was superb, the setting was ideal and the photo gallery was inspiring! Our family had plenty of space for 7 adults and an almost two-year old.  As former owners at Windcliff, we greatly appreciate how special the setting can be year round. We definitely plan to return next summer for two more glorious weeks in the Rockies.

Absolutely Awestruck
My wife and I stayed at Awestruck during our Honeymoon in Estes Park. Since we arrived on Sunday, the office was closed.  However, there was a packet left for us with keys, directions, etc. The drive up the mountain was incredible with deer, elk, and the most amazing view of the Rockies. We were told a 4x4 is a must, and though I recommend one if possible, some folks had small cars. As for the house, we could not have asked for more. The house was clean, comfortable, and way more than enough for a couple.  With 2 kings, 2 twins, and pull outs there is plenty of sleeping room for a larger family. Awestruck has a Rustic feel, while keeping all the comforts of home. Internet is available, long distance included, and direct tv in all the rooms.  There's nothing bad about Awestruck other than the feeling of leaving. We loved it!

I Would Do it Again
We went for a weekend during late January 2010, for some snow shoeing and winter activities. The weather was very cold outside nice and warm inside.  No need to leave the house, it had enough amenities to keep us occupied. Well stocked kitchen with tools. There were only 2 of us but the house is big enough for 6 comfortably. We normally visit Estes Park twice a year and rent a cabin with hot tub.  Never again, it will be a house with a hot tub, for the little bit of extra money per night it is worth it.Clean, a lot of room and nice.

The home was beautiful and well furnished. The view from the living room was amazing.  The hot tub and Jacuzzi tub in the master bath were great. The furnace fan went out the first day, so the first night was chilly.  We did not want to move, so the staff supplied radiant heaters and extra firewood for the fireplace and wood burning stove.  The home was nice and cozy for the remainder of the vacation.  We hope to stay in this home again next year.

When decorating and remodeling Awestruck, we worked with a professional designer and local artisans to create a luxurious and extremely comfortable mountainside vacation home that would be the perfect Estes Park lodging destination.  Fortunately, our guests agree that Estes Park, Colorado is a great place to visit, that Windcliff is a beautiful community, that Rocky Mountain National Park is spectacular and that Awestruck is a very special vacation home rental.
