We loved staying here! The home was very cozy, well appointed, and had everything we needed. The owner/manager was very responsive before and during our stay. We had a huge snowstorm that turned the place into a winter wonderland. We were in town for a wedding but didn’t want to leave the house! I would definitely recommend this home.

We loved the cabin. It was extremely well stocked with any kitchen item needed. Peaceful. Relaxing on the porch, enjoying the Mountain View, was my favorite.

Fell off the steps -no railing twice. Black and blue all over my face. Solar lights old and don’t work.
Closets locked only one closet up stairs to use with vacuum and mop and bucket..stored.
Not enough towels
Lights in refrigerator works then doesn’t.

Hi Debra, we want our guests to feel safe and comfortable during their stay, so we're sorry to hear about your fall. After sharing your feedback with the homeowner, they wanted to address some of your concerns:
- We're truly sorry to hear that you fell and hope that you are well and safe. The porch and steps are built to county safety standards, which do not require railings for this design. However, we’re sorry for the discomfort you experienced and will look into adding updated lighting for improved visibility at night.
- Closet space is available for guest use, though some storage areas are reserved for supplies. There are also dressers and wardrobes for added storage options during your stay.
- A set of towels is provided for each guest, and a washer and dryer with detergent are available for added convenience if you need fresh towels mid-stay.
- We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will check on the refrigerator light to ensure it’s working reliably.
Thank you for sharing this valuable feedback with us. We’re always looking to improve and hope to provide a seamless experience for future guests.
Our family of 6 - all adults- had a wonderful stay at Pinecone Palace. The cabin was as photographed. Beds slept great. Everything worked. Plenty of space for us to be together and to spread out. We hiked in RMNP and Roosevelt. Spent time in Lyons - do your main grocery shopping in Longmont. The road up was very rutted, but our minivan did fine. We had a wonderful time!
