We had a wonderful stay here at Dao house. I booked it knowing I wanted something close to the Rockies and I couldn’t have been happier. Very tranquil experience, friendly staff and cozy room. Thank you for giving us a nice stay!

Dao House was a perfect stay for a family with kids. We rested deeply, got off our devices, and connected with nature. Will definitely be coming again!

A Lovely Quite setting near Estes Park, Colorado.

I must admit when I discovered that we would be virtually be "cold turkey" off our computer, phone, and tv, we were delighted to enjoy a mind-cleansing evening of quiet peace and lightness. I highly recommend this location, the staff and feeling of well-being when you leave the property

Extra helpful staff!!

Booked very last minute but Kristina happily accommodated us! She was super helpful and made it easy for us to come and go throughout the night cause we were watching for the Northern Lights. We'd go again!

It was beautiful and very unique. My view was absolutely beautiful

Great place all around. For people looking, be aware that this place has limited WiFi, limited service, no coffee. Those were surely missed, but otherwise there were no complaints - - it was great.
Austin, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

After we saw the property we decided not to stay. DOA house is located far from Estes Park. There were no restaurants on the property or near by.

The room was nice and the view is beautiful, but the information on Expedia describing it as a B&B is false; there aren't any amenities
Timothy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff pleasant, room and grounds clean, quiet. Toilet tank leaks causing tank to keep refilling. Ceiling fan rattles.
Edward, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lots of potential here! The theme is weird and just doesn’t fit the property. Its an overall beautiful place, gorgeous scenery and the private entrance was a bonus. The Wi-Fi was not good but served us on an as needed basis. Nice location, quiet and comfortable.
Brandi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Like the area. Very beautiful mountain view, quiet. It is a good deal for the money you pay compared with other properties around the areas. Staffs are friendly and even offer snacks, water, fruits, coffee and tea at the lobby. Close to Long peak , twin sister, Lilly Lake trail. Cons: no cell service. Need to log in wifi every 1 hr. No room service. Will stay here again next time since i like the quietness, amazing mountian view!

Property was dark and kind of creepy. Could be really nice, but needs some TLC.
Amanda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We saw one staff member for 10 mins on the day of check in and check out. We were there for 2 nights, our car was the only one besides staff car. I don’t think there were any guests in our building. It was very strange and weird, we never saw any people in the lobby. Reception area was always empty. Room was clean. There are no facilities on the property except water and coffee in the lobby till 8 am.
Sonia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This was just an awkward experience. The staff was very nice and pleasant and the views from the hotel are beautiful. The awkwardness is the property itself. A log cabin semi-decorated in a Chinese theme. There is very little landscaping, making things look overgrown and messy. It has a lot of potential, but needs some help. Rooms don't have a TV or A/C and there is no cell phone service, internet or wifi connection to speak of. We left out at 6am and there was no coffee or breakfast ready so we stopped in town on our way to the park. It was a bit disappointing.
Amanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property has lots of potential but it seems neglected with no amenities at this point in time. Not even a coffee maker or fridge (or TV, on purpose) in the room. And my phone didn’t work at all when I was there. I was told the property was recently sold so maybe it will be redone in time. When we were there, it was desolate. Only about 4 cars in the parking lot at any given time. It felt a little weird. But like I said, the place has all kinds of potential. But there’s nothing going on there right now. On the plus side, it’s away from all the bustle of the city, very quiet, kinda quaint, and most importantly clean.
Cheryl, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

When i book at room, I will always check that it has WiFi as I am depending on this to work, so when I arrive at a hotel and am informed that the wifi is not working in the rooms, but I am free to use the lobby, it's bad. No amenities, no possibility for breakfast. Surroundings are beautiful.
