Please note that my wife and I usually live in the property. From May 2012 to September 2012, we will move out, and the available space in the house increases. We will be here from October to April year round. We are outgoing and easy to get on with so it's not an issue unless you are looking for complete privacy for your group. The arrangement has worked fine so far with groups we have had stay. Feel free to contact to discuss further. We do everything we can to make your stay a memorable and happy one!
Contact us for winter specials - many incentives available for bookings of 2 nights or longer! Free snowshoe or cross country ski hire for 2 people for 24 hours; or free half hour massage for 1 person; or free meal for 2 at a local restaurant; or a free wildlife print by local photographer.
December 2007 - we now collect new, part-used and worn running shoes and trainers, and shorts and t-shirts in good condition. We take them to One World Running in Boulder who send the new or part-used items to needy families in Central America and sub-Saharan Africa. Used shoes are recycled and generate money that One World Running use to send new clothes and shoes to needy families. Don't leave your old running and sports gear at home - bring it with you and give back to the World!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
We are an English couple that relocated to Estes Park, Colorado in 2006 to pursue our dreams. We had driven through Colorado in 1998 and fallen in love with the mountains, forests, and wild places. We are both passionate about being active outdoors - it is so easy to be active outdoors in Colorado! Terry manages the vacation rental property, greets guests, and helps guests to have a memorable stay! Terry's wife Jacqui, is a massage therapist and manages her own business in Estes Park.
Why the Owner Chose Estes Park
We were looking for somewhere that was in a quiet, secluded location, yet also close enough to Estes Park, Boulder and DIA, that shops, restaurants and support services are also close at hand. Downtown Estes is just 10 minutes door to door, while RMNP is 15 minutes away, and DIA is only 75 minutes. We are in an ideal location so that guests feel that they are up in the mountains, with amazing views and curious wildlife that wanders and flies in and around the property.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The best feature of our property location is the mountain location overlooking Estes Valley. We have amazing mountain views that you could just spend all day looking at! We are a short distance away from National Forest access with an abundance of trails that are great for trail running, mountain biking, hiking, and dog walking! We are also opposite an Open Space area, Hermit Park, that also has trail access for running, hiking and mountain biking.
We have personal connections with local restaurants, massage therapists, cycle hire, guided climbing, photographic and wildlife safaris, guided snowshoeing, guided hikes, and much more! If there is anything you would especially like to do while you stay with us, we will find a way to make it happen!

Our best to you both and thank you again for making our 2011 Christmas so special! George and Miekka and the rest of the family. George and Miekka and all our family.

Terry & Jacqui - you both welcomed us into your home so graciously. This was certainly THE perfect place for our reunion! We felt so very comfortable here, even though, as you remember, I was somewhat concerned about walking through your living area to our bedroom. Terry - you predicted I would be comfortable by the end of the week. Well it only took...less than 24 hours!! Thank you so much for all your help. I truly believe that God led Katie to find you two for all of us!

Terry, you and your family are ossum possums! What a wonderful time we've had in your home, with you and Jacqui. You have given us some great insight, ideas and clear positive perspective. I am anxious to go home now and tackle life and implement the "action plan" We are definitely leaving better than when we came - thank you so much - it feels so good to be laughing again!
