ON TOP OF THE WORLD! That's how you feel.

The VIEW is truly beautiful!! Enjoy full front views of Long's Peak and Twin Sisters. At night, you can see the lights in Estes Valley and the stars.... let's just say you're in for quite a treat! You'll enjoy the solitude of mountain quiet while sitting on the front balcony or dining on the natural picnic table and stools outside the front door. This home is located (address) at 130 Alpine Dr., Estes Park, CO 80517.
Inside the mountain home, there is enough space for everyone to gather or enjoy their own quiet time. The home is decorated in a functional and upscale mountain-modern decor. There's ample sleeping quarters for 7 people with 3 bedrooms featuring 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds and 1 full futon in the crow's nest loft. The beds are new and comfortable and always have crisp, clean sheets, down blankets and thick comforters. With 2 full baths and 1 half bath, there's plenty of bathroom access. The large kitchen with all the appliances including coffee and espresso makers, has room for three or more cooks to have fun learning how to cook at 8,000 ft! Enjoy eating your gourmet meals at the main dining table, cozy Bavarian nook or breakfast bar or outside on the deck. And at the end of the day, treat yourself to a relaxing evening on the comfy leather sofas and enjoy reading, watching TV (ample satellite channels), or just gazing at the top of the world views.
Make a point to get up a bit early so you can watch the deer and elk stroll by as you sit on the sunny deck sipping your early morning coffee.. Or take the short 10 minute drive into Estes Park to shop till you drop. Then when you return to your vacation home, take time to relax in the hot tub while looking out over Long's Peak. Whatever you choose, you will enjoy every minute in this unforgettable place.
Top of the World!! And that is how you feel. This beautiful and comfortable mountain home is just minutes away from all the activities of Rocky Mountain National Park and the charming mountain town of Estes Park. There is something for everyone; from climbing Long's Peak, one of the most challenging 14eers in Colorado to sitting on a bench watching a quiet mountain stream, you will never want for something to enjoy in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Estes Park is the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, one of the most beautiful places in the United States! You will enjoy every minute of your time in this mountain location.

We had a wonderful experience at this home! The views were amazing and it was located very close to town. The ready to use appliances in the kitchen made it very easy to make meals and enjoy company. The home had plenty of space to relax and play games while looking right outside at the mountains!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the top of the world. The views are fantastic. Thanks for including the handy spotting scope, we really enjoyed checking out the peaks. The hot tub was a hit. The European decorating touches were enjoyed by our family. We got a kick out of the German shopping list. The huge kitchen was perfect for preparing all of our meals. In fact the kitchen was so convenient we didn't eat out at all. This rental feels like a home, not just a rental property as care has been taken with personal decorations and comfy beds & linens. Carol was fabulous to work with, she is very accommodating. I feel as if I made a new friend.

A wonderful and beautiful house to stay in. Minutes away from Estes Park in a very quiet neighborhood. The best part by far, was the amazing deck which overlooked Estes Park and beautiful mountains. Highly recommended!!

I am sitting on the deck of this beautiful home looking across the sun setting on the mountains. We have been traveling for 2 weeks and this is our 5th stop and favorite so far. The setting and location are close to the park and Estes park as well. Very well stocked with anything you could need. Very happy and would recommend to a friend.

What an amazing place to spend some time near Estes Park! Have stayed in Estes a few times now in different cabins and fancied a change of view but nothing could prepare you for what was in store for you when opening the door of this house. Absolutely first class accomodation, immaculate, and everything you could wish for is on hand. Open the blinds and the view is stunning, then go outside and onto the upstairs decking to take it all in, who needs an "indoors" when you have recliners and seats to sit and take it all in? Breakfast and a BBQ in the evenings on the top deck with a glass of wine, Perfect!! We can,t thank the owners enough for letting us sample this wonderful place, give yourselves a treat book it!! Its impossible to be Grumpy when you stay here, well maybe for a short while when you have to leave, but hopefully we will be returning soon!
Owner response:Thank you for your kind review. We welcome you to return again and again and hope your next visit is just as enjoyable.

The house had ample room for a family of five, was clean and comfortable with a very well stocked kitchen. The view was stunning and the deck was always peaceful. My boys made good use of the hot tub after long hikes. Estes Park was a five minute drive and RMNP about 15 minutes. An excellent value!

This is our second year in a row to stay at the mountain top home. Our family loves the views and our kids enjoy exploring the back yard filled with rocks to climb on. The house have every amenity you can imagine to make your stay just like being at home. If you enjoy fly fishing I would highly recommend Scot's Sporting Goods in Estes Park. Our guide John was amazing. We will definitely be coming back again.
Owner response:Thank you for again choosing 130 Alpine Drive for your Estes Park home.. We appreciate your return visit and look forward to your next visit so we can again make you feel at "home away from home". We have a few upgrades planned for the home this fall so it will be even better next year. Thanks again.
