Accommodations: Inn, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 9-11)
Welcome to our secluded mountain retreat on the river. Due to these difficult financial times, we are offering a fall special with significant savings on our weekly and nightly rates!! From Oct - Dec (except holidays) our wonderful 1600 square foot, 4 bedroom home is available for ONLY $1400/week or $225/night.
Wade, sit on the rocks, or fish for wild trout in the Big Thompson River and feel your worries fade away. Eat lunch on one of the picnic tables as you admire the mountains, roast marshmallows in the fire pit, or simply relax on the large manicured lawn. Enjoy coffee or tea in the morning in the dinning room as you watch the wildlife through 5 large windows. Or watch the wildlife from almost any of the other 30 windows in this cozy house - including the four windows surrounding the jetted tub in the master bath! End your day relaxing in one of the large recliners in the sunroom - listening to the river and the other sounds of nature. Views of the snow-capped mountains and the smell of the evergreen trees will stay with you long after you leave.
Our home is in a prime location. We are at the end of a quiet drive with a large private yard next to the river. The entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park is only a little over one mile away where you can enjoy the many trails, rivers, and wonderful sights the park has to offer. Shopping also is available less than one mile away with many quaint stores, restaurants, and peaceful walks along the river.

Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Estes Park
Jim and Gail bought Mountain Haven as their future retirement home. They love the mountains, the rivers, the incredible wildlife, and the people of Estes Park!
The Unique Benefits at this Inn
Estes Park is a wonderful community with a multitude of activities. You can hike one of the hundreds of fabulous trails in Rocky Mountain Park, drive the Trail Ridge Road, watch animals, talk to friendly people, shop or eat in "one of a kind" shops and restaurants, or walk along the river and enjoy the many water works in the center of town.

"Dear Walt and Andrea, Thank you so much for helping us enjoy our vacation to CO! Your home is beautiful and the location was so convenient to everything. We enjoyed seeing deer in the backyard and soaking our sore feet in the whirlpool tub after climbing Long's Peak (2 of us made it)! Thank you for all the little "extras" your home contains. We will always remember our time here and definitely tell our friends and family about it!"
