About this property
Great views from 2 decks, block from town, across from nature preserve, Hot Tub!
Relax, rejuvenate and recharge in this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath mountain cabin that has everything you could hope for in an Estes Park vacation home. It’s within easy walking distance to downtown restaurants and shopping, and a close drive to the main attraction – Rocky Mountain National Park!
This house is perfect for making memories with friends and family. Enjoy your morning coffee on our beautiful outdoor deck, which overlooks parkland and has an amazing view of the Stanley Hotel. Have fun making meals in the fully-stocked kitchen, and eating together as a family around the large dining table. Two living areas (on separate floors) allow you to play games and relax as a family, or split up into your own areas.
After a day of exploring Rocky Mountain National Park (or shopping in Estes Park), a fun evening and a good night’s sleep awaits you. Walk into town for dinner and drinks, or grill out on the outdoor deck. Each bedroom is beautifully decorated with a mountain theme, and is equipped with a flat screen TV if you just want some quiet time. The downstairs game room has a sectional/sleeper sofa and offers a great place to play games and watch movies. Before bed, enjoy a soothing soak in the outdoor hot tub and take in the night sky.
We have highspeed gigabit internet connection (940mbps) for those who need to telework! Great connectivity for video zoom calls, streaming movies, and more! Cable Tv in every room, board games, dominoes, cards and more. Hiking trails directly across the street and large 6 person private hot-tub. Loads of fun for the family at your fingertips.
This property in 100% self-managed. We take pride in our home and offer guest personal experience with suggestions from "locals" on what to do around town, best RMNP hikes, and of course our favorite places to eat and drink. No worries about illegal rentals, the town of Estes Park has strict licensing requirements for vacation rentals and our house is fully compliant and registered (registration number 3222).
Elk Cabin has all the space you need for a large family, or for grandparents or friends to join you.

Check-out instructions
The host requires you complete the following before checking out:
Load and start the dishwasher
Gather used towels
Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks, and take out the trash
Lock the doors
Dishwasher Note: With our housekeeper juggling same-day turnovers during the busy season, starting the 2-hour dishwasher cycle before you leave would be a huge help—thank you!
Laundry Note: To help our very busy housekeeper, please gather used towels and start a load—towels take a long time to wash and dry. No need to worry about sheets; they’re cleaned off-site.
Trash note:
If you’re able, taking the trash to the designated dumpster would be a big help. Our housekeeper is recovering from shoulder surgery and truly appreciates the extra kindness.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

About the host
Hosted by Brent Nations
My wife and I love Colorado. We live in Austin Texas most of the year, but enjoy getting away to the cool mountains, especially during the hot Texas summers.
Why they chose this property
We have rented many houses in Estes Park over the years. A few years ago we rented a house up the hill from Elk Horn Ave. We absolutely loved getting up and walking to get coffee in the mornings. And we loved not having to get into a car to go to dinner either.
When our girls were a little older we were able to let them walk down to the candy and ice cream stores by themselves. The girls loved the freedom! And we decided then if we were to find a place it needed to be in the center of town. And we found the perfect location!

What makes this property unique
The Elk Cabin has something you won't find anywhere else in Estes. A panoramic view of nature preserve, mountains, and the Stanley Hotel. You will feel like you are in the wilderness. But as you will only find at our place, a two block walk into the heart of downtown Estes Park. You simply can't beat the beauty or location.
