    Could not have asked for better! Room was clean, cozy, and romantic. Paul's wine tasting was very fun and informative, and his breakfast was gourmet for sure! Lynn was very warm and welcoming when we first arrived and was great about showing us everything we needed to know. We stayed in the Deer Trail room, which was lovely and right next to the kitchen with cookies and hot chocolate. Situated in a residential area, which I enjoyed because of the reduction in traffic noise and it wasn't that far from one of the main streets. I've stayed in Estes tons of times, but this was the best hands down. I'll never stay anywhere else.

    My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to have a co-worker pass on a gift certificate that she had won for a night's stay at A Mountain Valley Home. Once we made our way through the neighborhood, we were excited to see that we would be staying in not only a beautiful home, but also a calm and relaxing neighborhood, much different than other B&Bs or hotels that i have stayed in. We were immediately greeted by Lynn who was warm and welcoming to us. She gave us a tour of the property, showed us our room and made sure we had everything we needed for the evening. Not only did they have snacks and cookies throughout the vacinity, but they also have a ton of restaurant menus for us to decide on where we wanted to go for dinner in addition to a nice selection of movie rentals and games for us to play when we got back. We stayed in the Bear's Den and at first, we tried to name all the bears in our room but there were too many! The room was the perfect size for us and even though our room was adjacent to another guest's room, we never heard them once. The breakfast that Paul made was fantastic. Overall, we left feeling refreshed and rejuvinated. We had an amazing experience here and are looking at coming back very soon. Thanks, Lynn and Paul, for your sincere hospitality and kindness.

    My husband and I stayed February 1, 2011. We requested the Valley View room and were offered a free upgrade to the Mountain View room. The room was as just as pictured online--luxurious and welcoming. This was a spur-of-the-moment getaway, and Lynn worked magic within an hour of our request to both get us a room and arrange massages the next morning. We toured the house, were offered wine tasting, were provided with information on local restaurants and services, and were familiarized with available snacks, drinks, hot-tub, DVDs, and computer access. Breakfast had a beautiful presentation, the food was very good, and Lynn and Paul proved to be wonderful company. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will look forward to another opportunity to visit.

    Nice Decor, High Cancellation fees, a little cold

    This was certainly a beautiful B&B, and the food was good. We didn't feel a friendliness there, though, like we did in the four other B&B's we visited recently. I recommend that you don't book much in advance, because of the high cancellation fees. We had to cancel because of unexpected and serious dental and medical problems that had to take priority. We rebooked later, but still had to pay a $75 fee--and tax was charged on that amount too. Now I don't mind paying a cancellation fee, but I think that is excessive. Another Colorado B&B only charged $40. Overall the place was very clean, except for the hairy dust we saw behind the bed's head rail. Breakfast was tasty, and served on the deck. I wouldr recommend this B&B if you wait until the last minute to book. When you have to cancel because of serious events in your life, high cancel fees makes things a bit cold.

    Innkeeper Response
    There are misrepresentations in the above review, and we would like our future guests to be aware of the facts. Our stated cancellation policy: With two weeks or more advance notice we are happy to reschedule your visit for any convenient date available. If rescheduling is not possible at the time of cancellation with two weeks or more prior notice, you may choose to receive a credit on account for the full amount of your prepayment (valid for six months from date of issue), or you may request a refund of your prepayment minus a $75 per suite cancellation fee. Cancellations with less than two week's notice are non-refundable. When this guest called to cancel, she was offered a credit voucher in the full amount of her prepayment, which she could have used anytime during the next 6 months with NO cancellation fee or loss on her part. She declined and requested a refund with full knowledge of the $75 cancellation fee. Four days later she emailed to question the fee. Because we aim to please, we offered a $50 credit if she were to rebook within 6 months. She did this, and was given a $50 credit toward her suite rental as promised. Therefore, the actual cancellation fee paid was only $25, not $75 as stated in her review. Additionally, there were no taxes charged on her cancellation fee. Itemizations of all charges were emailed to this guest, which resulted in a “thank you” response from her! We try very hard to be sympathetic and accommodating in cancellation situations. Our intent is to minimize stress as well as monetary losses. Therefore, in light of this situation, we have changed our policy to include a 10% cancellation fee, rather than a $75 flat fee. This will insure fairness to guests and us. We warmly welcome every guest to our Inn, and treat all with respect and kindness. To say that we were unfriendly is just baffling! It is unfortunate that these guests view their stay with us as less than enjoyable. We wish them the best!

    The house and rooms are very nice. Jacuzzi in the room was neat. However, when you shell out around $230.00 per night you kind of hope to be welcomed in a somewhat friendly manner. Then again, this was close to a average price for B&B's in the area. The wine tasting was enjoyable but make sure you have some cash on hand as a tip is strongly encouraged. After reading rave reviews of the breakfast, I was disappointed to discover that it was only average. It looked pretty, but I'm more into taste than presentation. Overall it was ok, just overpriced for what I experienced.
