We have a large family and purchased this home to be welcoming to family gatherings. Within walking distance to *RMNP and the YMCA of the Rockies**, it has a great location and our frequent visitors include local wildlife. Sick of the traffic in and out of the park during the summer? Walk into the park and climb aboard the RMNP free shuttle bus to many great hikes and picnic locations! We are also within 3 miles of downtown and during the summer months you can hop on the Estes Park Shuttle for a stress free visit to the local shops and restaurants.

This is an open floor plan with 3 stories. The Main floor consists of a large kitchen with utensils, and a dining room table that seats 10. Just off the kitchen is the family room with two couches and gas fireplace and a picturesque view of Long’s Peak. Equipped with Wireless Internet service, a large, flat screen TV with Dish Network and DVD, this room provides the comforts of your own home.

This level also has the Master bedroom w/King Bed, flat screen TV w/ Dish Network and DVD, spacious master bath with jetted tub, the utility room with half bath, washer/dryer, and access to the 600sf wrap around deck. On the deck is a propane grill and picnic table.

Upstairs are two bedrooms, one w/Queen and twin beds, the other with a Queen bed, and between the rooms a full bath.

The Bottom floor has large, community sleeping area (we call it the "dorm room") with a double, twin and trundle beds and a full bath. New heating system installed downstairs in 2009 to complement the central a/c.

The main floors of the house rents for one price that can include up to 7 guests. For an additional fee the downstairs bedroom and bath are available and can sleep 5 more guests.(The downstairs is NEVER rented on its own, only as a part of the upstairs rental.)

**The house is located 1/2 mile from the YMCA, 3 miles from downtown, with 5 minute access to the Big Thompson River and 20 min walking distance to Moraine Park in RMNP.

*Rocky Mountain National Park has over 350 miles of hiking trails, with over half above tree line. Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous paved road in the U.S. reaching 12,200 ft above sea level in its 20 mile stretch across the tundra.

Our neighborhood is quiet and a few hundred yards from the boundary to RMNP.

Hiking, fishing, biking, and wildlife abound.

                        This home was wonderful for our family reunion weekend. It accommodated 4 separate families very well (infant, toddlers and teens). The house is clean and well kept. The beds were very comfortable and the jet bathtub in master bath was great. The mountain view of Longs Peak from the deck is awesome. We enjoyed walking on the nearby trail going into Rocky Mountain National Park and seeing elk and deer in the neighborhood. Hope we can return!

                        This cabin far exceeded our expectations in every way. It was perfect for our family of 7. It is located convenient to town and also to the National Park and the YMCA. It was spotless and had everything we needed for our week long stay. The owner was very helpful in recommending places to eat and things to do in Estes Park and RMNP. The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to cook meals and there are lots of informative books about the local area. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels available. We traveled light so it was nice to be able to use the washer and dryer for our clothes. We hope to return one day soon.

                        We had a very nice stay at this lovely home. It met all our needs and is very close to everything in Estes Park. The kids loved playing in the river/stream just across the road and the deer in the yard was a special treat! We don't see deer that big here in Wisconsin! We were a large group and there was plenty of towels, sheets, etc to accomodate us. Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. We especially appreciated having a washer and dryer. My only complaint would be lack of pans, pots, cookware. There was one very large skillet and nothing in between. Also, the propane tank on the gas grill was low and so we had to replace that....which we hope future guests would appreciate!

                        Owner response: We try to keep as much as we can in kitchen for renters use and we have plates, bowls,cups and utensils for more than 12. Pots and pans have always been enough for our large family, but we will continue to add more supplies as the needs present themself.

                        We stayed at the home and had a wonderful time. It was perfect for our 3 families. The home was clean and furnished very nicely. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us. If we were to rent another home in the Estes Park area we would not hesitate to rent it again.

                        We had three couples and a 1 year old child. Plenty of room for all. Good proximity to town and Rocky Mt. National Park. Nice deck to view the stars, and they were plentiful. We would come back.

                        4 siblings and their spouses gathered here to celebrate 60th birthday for a week in July. The house was perfect for us, with 4 bedrooms (2 with private baths). We enjoyed the family room as a meeting place and had some nice meals in the well-equipped kitchen. We had some nice hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park, one walking right from the house into the park. We also enjoyed wonderful meals at Dunraven Inn (walking distance), Rock Inn Mountain Tavern, Twin Owls, Mary's Lake Lodge, and Nicky's Steak House. We appreciate the effort the owners have made to make this a comfortable getaway.

                        We found this home was perfect for our vacation with our extended family (our children & their families). There were 12 of us altogether including 2 babies. The house was very spacious. Every family was able to have their own room. The lower level room is a little more rustic than the rest of the house, but worked well for our son with the older children. It was a little chilly down there even in the summer, but thanks to a neighbor's little plug in heater they were comfortable. The grandkids loved the big tub in the master bedroom. The house was also well furnished it had everything we needed (except food). We had many meals around the large table and made lots of memories watching the kids all play in the living room. I hope that we are able to vacation here again.

                      Owner info

                      Year Purchased: 2007

                      About the owner: We are the Zavada family from Ft. Myers, Florida. We started vacationing in Estes Park in 1994, returning almost every summer since. During that time we rented houses to stay in and shared our love of Estes with many other friends and family. We were blessed to be able to purchase our Estes home in 2007 and want to share the experiences we have had over the years with other lovers of Estes Park and families just now finding RMNP. We hope our home will be your home during your stay with us.

                      Why the Owner Chose Estes Park:
                      We find this to be the best location for families. We are within a half mile of the YMCA of the Rockies, with all its many activities for families both young and old. We are a few hundred yards from the Big Thompson river for avid fishermen. From the house there is a trail that leads you to Moraine Park in RMNP, about a 20 minute hike. Our neighborhood is wonderful with great neighbors and lots of wildlife that routinely crosses our yards. We are also 5 minutes from the park and 5 minutes to town by car.

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      Our home is open and roomy. Our kitchen table can seat 10 (and we have even squeezed 12) and is perfect for family get togethers. If you love to hike or fish, you can do so without the use of a car with the close by trails and rivers. Wildlife viewing is like no other place we have visited. From our deck we have seen elk, deer, turkeys, coyotes, and even bears and their cubs. For days that may be cloudy, we have a HD flat screen TV with Dish Network and wireless internet access in the house (during season). We are more than happy to provide our knowledge of Estes Park and RMNP to our guests, just ask!
