You belong in this picture - Estes Park Lodging

A tranquil setting, convenient to the Rocky Mountain National Park and to the town of Estes Park. A five minute drive will put you at the Rocky Mountain National Park entrance. Five minutes will also get you to the center of downtown Estes Park. Most restaurants are within ten minutes and all of the fine dining within fifteen minutes of this property.

This 2700 square foot home sits at an elevation of 8200 feet at the base of Rams Horn Mountain. Natural beauty and Wilderness are right outside the door.

Elk,deer,hummingbirds,chipmunks,rabbits,ground squirrels,hawks and falcons are seen daily here.

We have named our mountain house "Dream Lake" after one of our favorite hiking trail stops. Hiking trails in Rocky Mountain National Park to Emerald Lake and Lake Haiyaha take us past Dream Lake. Our choice of name is also influenced by the brightness of the stars in the night sky,the Quiet,and the view so beautiful it seems surreal!

The property is managed for us by Ponderosa Realty and management, Inc. And they have done a very fine job of taking care of our guests.
