Moose Mountain will steal your heart and leave you yearning for a return visit.
Just rockin’ in the Rockies!

Upon my arrival to this gorgeous Estes mountain log home, I was stunned by its beauty. There were many trees surrounding the home and a handy stone walkway to the stairs which led to the front door. I made my way inside to find that the interior was just as wonderful as the exterior! I was greeted by a hanging antler chandelier in the dining room and an enormous moose head looking right at me from above the fireplace in the living room. The hardwood floors and vaulted wood ceilings were simply spectacular.
Everything I needed was conveniently on the main floor: the spacious kitchen, dining room, living room with fireplace and TV (complete with cable and a surround sound system), bedrooms, bathroom and even a hot tub! The loft on the upper level had a stunning view of the Rocky Mountains and I enjoyed waking up to the scenic views each and every morning.
Of course, you can’t go to Estes Park without doing a little souvenir shopping. This home was perfectly situated 5-10 minutes from the excitement of downtown.
Being the busy bear that I am, I needed to work while on vacation but it was no problem at all since the home had free wireless high speed Internet. After I got my work done, I relaxed by dipping my furry feet into the hot tub.
This was one weekend away I’ll never forget and I hope to make it back up the mountain again soon!

Christmas 2011 With the Family at Moose Mountain Lodge Was EXCELLENT!!

Our family of 5 adults and 2 granddaughters (4 and 7 yr olds) had a Christmas to remember at Moose Mountain Lodge!!! We found the house to far exceed our expectations in size, quality, cleanliness, and location! It was well described in the listing but was much nicer than we even expected! G-Ma took along decorations, a tree, lights etc such that the girls would have a nice Christmas Eve and morning. The beautiful fireplace and family room set the mood. Everything was perfect with Santa and also even a beautiful deer visiting the house on Christmas morning. With snow on the ground the girls were able to sled and play near the house. We visited RMNP three times, once for sledding and some hiking. Estes Park was decorated for Christmas and had nice shops and stores. We found good restaurants in the city and I even experienced a moose burger! The locals were very friendly and pleasant and helpful. The owners provided detailed maps, access info for the property and they answered some pre-trip questions. We found the house in excellent condition, well stocked with assorted supplies, and equipped such that we cooked several Christmas meals with the help of the local Safeway. We especially enjoyed the ping pong table and hot tub. We all would like to return to Moose Mountain for a summer visit to RMNP. We highly recommend the property to others, especially family groups. Thanks very much to Randy and Mitzi for making Moose Mountain Lodge available. This visit provided a Christmas to remember for all of our family! z

Randy and Mitzi – Just a note to let you know that all went well with our stay at your home! We have enjoyed it very much and it was a very fun and different Christmas for the family and our two granddaughters (7 and 3yrs). The nine inches of snow that fell a day before we arrived was perfect and allowed for some sledding at the cabin and in the park. We enjoyed the table tennis also with a couple family tournaments! Overall things were just great and we’d definitely like to come back sometime. The girls enjoyed the deer and the whole herd of elk! Hope you have a great 2012! Thanks much, D Z Bartlesville, OK 74006

My family and I stayed at Moose Mountain Lodge Oct. 2011, we had not been to Colorado in the fall and it was a GREAT trip, good time to go and avoid the summer crowds, and we found the perfect place to stay at Moose Mountain Lodge. All descriptions and pictures were accurate and beyond our expectations, the hot tub was enjoyed by all and the instructions for use of were very thorough. The house was well kept and very clean, the bottle of wine was an added bonus!! We would highly recommend this property, and hope to use it again in the future.

Moose Mountain Lodge was the perfect place to return to after long days of hiking in RMNP. We stayed there with our two teenage sons, my sister, and her husband. The kids loved the ping pong table in the basement and having the extra bed,bath & laundry facilities down there was great! the porch & deck were lovely, and though we never got a chance to use the hot tub, it looked so inviting out there. The place was immaculate, very well-maintained and comfortable. Great location! Peaceful & quiet and only minutes from the house to RMNP and the town of Estes Park. Though there were plenty of restaurants to choose from in town, it was great to have a Safeway grocery store so close by since we cooked dinner in most nights. Thank you to the owners, Randy & Mitzi for making the rental/check-in process so easy and for sharing your beautiful mountain home.

The place was just as described: warm, inviting, peaceful, beautiful views and lots of wildlife. There were eight of us, including 5 teenagers, and there was plenty of room to spread out. We loved it. We hiked, relaxed on the front porch, soaked in the hot tub, played some vicious ping pong tournaments and enjoyed my mom's incredible home cooking. Fantastic experience!! Randy and Mitzi are excellent hosts. We definitely will be back.

Moose Mountain Lodge Family Experience

My family recently returned from Estes Park, Co where we had the wonderful opportunity to stay at the Moose Mountain Lodge. It is a beautiful, well-maintained home with magnificient views of the Rockie Mountains. It was a real pleasure to return to this lovely home after our day's activities. Our family really enjoyed sitting out on the porches each afternoon, cooking out and enjoying the cool air and gorgeous sunsets. We saw deer every morning and afternoon. They would literally come right up to the back porch. One of our favorite experiences was seeing a mother deer and her two fawns follick right outside the dining room windows one early morning. Our 8 year old grandson was thrilled! It is a fabulous property with very nice owners, Randy & Mitzi. We felt very comfortable communicating with them. Their pride of ownership is reflected in this lovely home.

The perfect cabin for your Estes Park stay

This cabin was conveniently located to everything we wanted to do & see in Estes. It was super clean, very spacious and overall was the perfect place to stay on our vacation. I would gladly stay here again and would recommend this place to anyone. While it was just the two of us with our 11 month old, 6 to 8 people could easily stay here.
Owner response:Thanks to our guests from Springfield, MO. It was a pleasure to serve you. For future guests, we want to make you aware that we have a "Pack & Play" as well as a solid wood high chair to make life easy for you and your small children. -Randy & Mitzi

Our family of four plus our son's fiance' spent a week at Moose Mountain. What a treasure! Every morning we saw deer in the yard, including twin fawns. One evening as we returned from town we came upon 5 BIG bull elk. Moose Mountain was perfect for us! We got to spend quality time together in such a warm and inviting atmosphere. After horseback riding and hiking all day it was amazing to slide into the hot tub with the mountain views. Every room was so nicely decorated and the ping pong table in the basement hosted some fierce competitions during our stay. After staying at Moose Mountain I doubt we'll ever vacation at a hotel again. But Moose Mountain will be a tough act to follow now that our expectations will be so high! Randy and Mitzi know how to do it with the utmost quality and ease for their guests! Thank you for making our vacation one of unlimited memories for us and our children.

My husband, our 14 year old neice, and I enjoyed a beautiful week at Moose Mountain Lodge, May 31st - June 5, 2011. We have booked vacation homes through VRBO several times and have always been pleased, but Moose Mountain was among the BEST we've rented! Our top priority when booking was "the view", and we were not disappointed - it was spectacular! The first evening we sat in the hot-tub on the back deck and watched a glorious sunset over the snow-capped mountain range. As we were getting out of the hottub just after dark, my neice spotted an owl in the top of a pine tree, "welcoming" us to Moose Mountain. That was the first of our wildlife viewing for the week. The next morning, we were thrilled to wake up and look out the wall of windows to see the mountains and watch deer grazing in the yard. This home was immaculately clean when we arrived and obviously very well maintained. It is very well appointed with everything we needed for cooking some meals, doing laundry, watching movies, playing games, and of course, the hottub, as I mentioned! The location was ideal for our needs. We loved being "out" enough to have a view, but also the convenience of being able to run into town within a matter of minutes for restaurants and shopping. Rocky Mountain National Park is just a short drive (maybe 20 minutes?) away. Just the three of us had way more than enough room in this house! We could have chosen a smaller home, but the ammenities at Moose Mountain were just what we were looking for and we're so glad we chose it. We checked out on Sunday morning and had a two and 1/2 day drive back to Ohio. The day after we got home, we had our security deposit back in the mail! That impressed us! Thanks, Randy and Mitzi, for sharing your beautiful mountain retreat with us - it's surely a blessing too sweet to keep to yourselves! Tim and Tami Ledford, Willard, OH

First Time in Colorado / Estest Park and We Found a Great Cabin to Return to!

This was our first time visiting Colorado and our first time in Estes Park. What a beautiful place and we enjoyed every minute in the Moose Mountain Lodge! If you're looking for a nice cabin will great amenities, then look no further. If you're looking for local wildlife in the area, you won't have to look far -- we saw elk, deer, chipmunks and all sorts of birds nearby. We were only minutes from downtown Estes Park as well as a short drive to Rocky Mountain National Park. Great location, will be back next time we are in Colorado!
