Excellent rental

The pictures don't do this home justice! You must see it to believe it. We've stayed in many rentals around the Estes area, normally they are good and pretty much as the photos portray. This home was the exception, it is actually much better than the photos portray. The property was imaculate and very very clean. We stayed for a week and hated to leave. The home is situated in a secluded neighborhood and although it's within walking distance of town you'd never know it. There is no traffic noise and even though it's in a neighborhood, it's situated such that you can't see the neighbors. The kitchen was better equiped than our kitchen at home. If you wanted to throw a lavish dinner party, you'd have all you need an then some. The final piece of the puzzle was our wonderful hosts, Durango and Mark. Durango met us when we arrived and was there to wish us a fond farewell. She showed us where everything was and how everthing worked. She did such a good job that we had no unanswered questions or concerns. Mark was busy chopping firewood for us when we arrived. After seeing how meticulously the house was maintained, it kind of fit. He wanted to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. I'd recommend this house to anyone and everyone. I've got only good things to say about the house and our hosts. Hope we have a chance to experience the cozy warmth of Rockhedge again.

We have stayed at many vacation rentals in Estes and around the country and Rockhedge takes the prize. The home is beautifully remodeled and it has the most well-appointed kitchen one could dream of. We were lucky enough to be there for the first snow of the season and so enjoyed staying in by the cozy fire. There was absolutely nothing we needed or wished we had brought while there. If ever you want to treat yourself to a very special get-a-way this is the perfect retreat, especially if you enjoy cooking!

We had a wonderful time exploring the area. Rockhedge was a perfect place to do this and a wonderful home to stay in. Everything we needed was there. We sat outside in the afternoon an thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet. Durango gave us great recommendations for dinner at the Twin Owls and a great concert. Molly B's is a great breakfast place. We had an excellent tour through Rocky Mountain National Park from Estes Park to Grand Lake with the Green Jeep Tours, ask for Art.

We enjoyed celebrating our 50th anniversary with our family at Rockhedge. It is a lovely home, very private yet so well situated in regard to Estes Park and RMN park activities. The area around the house begs for picnics and rock climbing enjoyment outside. This is an immaculate property, well taken care of and very comfortable and inviting. We recommend it to those looking for an alternative to condo vacationing.

Rockhedge was the perfect spot for our family vacation. Though we spent considerable time driving and hiking through Rocky Mountain National Park, we were so comfortable in the lovely home that we spent a lot of time just enjoying the space and amenities of the home. We all love to cook and the kitchen was even nicer than we had imagined from the description on the home's web page. The kitchen is FULLY stocked with high end appliances, nice pots, pans, baking dishes and plenty of dishes and serving ware. The pantry and fridge also had a very generous stock of basic supplies. We grocery shopped at Whole Foods in Boulder on our way from Denver, but one may want to see what items are available in the kitchen first. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very comfortable and attractive and the home is very clean and well maintained. Durango was very accommodating and helpful upon our arrival. Staying at Rockhedge really added to the quality of our vacation. I would not hesitate at all to recommend it to family or friends, and hope to stay there again sometime ourselves.

My family and I visited for one week in June, 2011. We found Rockhedge to be just as portrayed in the website photos. We have rented a number of homes over the years and you usually need to stock up on all types of necessities other than food. Not so with Rockhedge. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped. You would have to try hard to find a cooking utensil not furnished. The home is very convenient to Rocky Mountain National Park, within a short driving distance from two different entrances. The home was very clean and comfortable, with many shelves of books, dvds and vhs tapes to entertain oneself. Outside the home we saw rabbits, many birds, elk, and even a large, inquisitive bear. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there and wished we could have stayed much longer. The owners and their cleaning person, Toon, were a pleasure to work with. If you stay at Rockhedge you will not be disappointed.

Amazing home within walking distance of town

First off let me thank you for making your beautiful home available to our family and others. We had an amazing time in Estes Park, Rocky Mountain NP and your house. One big reason for us going to Estes Park is to enjoy the wildlife that makes itself home in your beautiful community. We saw plenty of Elk, Deer, rabbits, and even a Raccoon while in town. Not to be outdone we saw some Bighorn Sheep on the way out of town. Simply amazing! Your location to everything is perfect. We were able to walk to town each morning to get the news paper and bagels for those who decided to sleep in. My wife and I walked into Estes Park for dinner on Sunday night. Even the drives to Lily Lake and Rocky Mountain NP were nice a quick. On our trip to the Park we were able to hike some trails while the snow just dropped and dropped. What a mini vacation it was. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience Estes Park from your truly amazing home.

My wife and I have rented four different houses in Estes Park within the last year and this was by far the best. The location is central to town and close to Rocky Mtn. National Park. The house was immaculately clean and had a fully stocked kitchen, including condiments, herbs and spices and all the utensils you would need for serious cooking. We loved the gas range. The architecture of the house is stunning! The style reminds us of a 1920s bungalow, complete with classically tiled bathrooms, a deep bathtub and a master bath with many windows.The great room is large and open, with a high wood ceiling and large windows.The arts and crafts decor compliments the wood framed windows and wood floors. Most of the windows are screened and can be opened to let in the cool mountain air. The lighting fixtures truly add to the atmosphere and most can be dimmed to your liking. There is a gas grill, a charcoal grill and a smoker outside on the patio and the patio has beautiful views of the rock formations nearby. This is truly a beautiful home and a wonderfully relaxing place. We did not want to leave. The owners made sure this place was very well equipped and very clean. We felt more like we were borrowing a best friend's house rather than renting. Rockhedge is incredibly cozy and inviting and we would recommend this over any of the more expensive houses we've rented in Estes Park.

Our family stayed at Rockhedge in early to mid-July, 2010 and had a wonderful time. We've been to Estes Park several times over the years, but this was our first time at Rockhedge. We've stayed at many places found on VRBO all over and none has been equipped as good as this one. The owner met us at the property to go over everything. The home is meticulous cared for and beautifully furnished. We used the Big Green Egg for chicken one night. One late afternoon we arrived to find a deer sitting up next to the house waiting to greet us. The home was perfect for the prep and recovery of our "men" to climb Longs Peak. We would highly recommend Rockhedge and we hope we can stay again one day.
