About this property
House, hot tub, playground, dog friendly + option of 2nd building!
Come escape the stress and enjoy the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains in Estes Park at licensed vacation rental property 20-NCD0374! Large lot and 2 buildings to spread out. Breathe the fresh mountain air and go for secluded hikes come back to enjoy a soak in the hot tub! Fast (1 gig) internet for working remote.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not advertise on Craigslist. Please communicate with us through VRBO only.
We are located in a PERFECT location! Close to everything, yet plenty of space. 2 miles from the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park, 2 miles away from downtown Estes Park and 2 miles from the YMCA on Highway 66. The free Estes Park shuttle bus stops near the property on Highway 66. So park your car and enjoy the mountains. We are on the Brown Route. Note: Town shuttles operate daily from June 24 through September 10.
Enjoy being together on vacation yet spread out with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths in 2 buildings. The main house is a ranch style home with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and open living, dining, and kitchen area. It sleeps 6 people and has 2 smart TVs with cable. The studio building is 10 feet from the home with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a microwave, small refrigerator, coffee maker, and a smart TV connected to cable. Families on different schedules... no worries. Get a wonderful night sleep without distractions of others in your party but enjoy time together in the large living area, outside on the covered deck, or in the 7 person hot tub.
Have young kids? We created a safe enclosed private toddler playground behind the studio building with a climbing wall, wagon, sandbox, slide, seesaw, and little tykes cars sure to entertain the youngsters while you sit on the bench, sip a beverage, relax and enjoy the mountain air.
Having a big family reunion? Check out the Paradise RV Park nearby. Some can camp while others stay at the Happy Elk!
Have well behaved fur babies (dogs) you want to bring along? This is the perfect property with a brand new 6 foot fence to let your dogs enjoy the open space as well. Please inform the owner if you are bringing any pets along there is a small fee. (No cats please. I love them too... but some guests are often allergic.)
Basic price is listed for main house ONLY which sleeps 6. Studio which sleeps 4 is additional. No more than 8 can rent the property at any one time. House and studio will never be booked to different parties on same dates.
The property is in on nearly an acre with a hammock, grill, hot tub and yard games. Our landscaping is similar to most mountain properties in that it constantly changes based on nature. We keep it natural for our guests' benefit as it gives a welcoming habitat for animals to come and better wildlife viewing opportunities from the comfort of the home. The deer graze and recharge in the yard while the hummingbirds enjoy the wildflowers. Enjoy the mountain views while relaxing on the deck watching elk graze and take a rest under a tree. Please note the pictures were taken in May. Landscaping changes continually and the lawn is not able to be maintained with a lawnmower due to the large natural rock formations on the property.
Home has been completely updated. All new cozy mattresses, soft linens, thick warm duvets, and comfy towels! Kitchen updated with new stainless appliances. Fully licensed as a vacation rental in Estes Park.
Enjoy the warmth of the remote controlled gas fireplace while watching TV, catching up with family or friends, and playing games.
Washer and dryer are available for guest use.
Please note: check fire current fire restrictions at https://www.estesvalleyfire.org/fire-restrictions-bans. At this time, no short term rentals or bed and breakfasts are allowed to have outdoor wood burning fires.
We use security cameras on the drive way only.

About the host
Hosted by Joan Weiss
I am a retired globetrotting grandmother who knows the value of time spent with family and friends in the majestic mountain scenery of Estes Park.
Why they chose this property
Estes Park has always been close to my heart. Close enough to escape the hustle of Denver for the day yet provides the complete wilderness experience. It is the best of both worlds!
What makes this property unique
While traveling with my kids and grandchildren, I realized the value of being together yet giving everyone their own space. This property allows the unique opportunity with having 2 separate buildings for sleeping yet large living space to play games and make memories that will last a lifetime. Icing on the cake: I created a private enclosed playground for the kids to play safely while the adults relax on the bench and catch up.
I also realize how nice it is to be with my dog when traveling and wanted to provide this for my guests. I created 2 fenced in areas (other than the kids playground area) that dogs can feel free to roam and enjoy their time in the mountains.
