About this property
Luxury Mountain Retreat Near Estes Park Stunning Views, Perfect Family Getaway
Tahosa Ranch is a beautiful hand-crafted log mountain home designed for guests who want space, privacy, and unforgettable Rocky Mountain views. Set on 5.55 acres bordering National Forest, this three-story retreat offers a true mountain escape with the comfort of home, the beauty of nature, and direct access to outdoor adventure right from the property.
Inside, the home is warm, spacious, and full of character, with vaulted ceilings, log beams, two stunning stone wood-burning fireplaces, and plenty of room for families and groups to gather. The open main living area flows easily into the kitchen and dining room, where a custom Ponderosa pine table creates the perfect setting for shared meals and memorable conversations. A second living space on the lower level offers even more room to relax, while the loft provides a fun hideaway for kids and a unique bird’s-eye view of the home.
Step outside to the large deck and take in sweeping views of Mt. Meeker, a year-round stream, and a peaceful Aspen grove. Horse Creek runs through the front of the property, and wildlife sightings are part of the experience, with moose, deer, and turkey often seen nearby. Guests love the peaceful setting, the sense of privacy, and the feeling of being surrounded by nature without sacrificing convenience.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Tahosa Ranch is hard to beat. The home has private access to National Forest and the surrounding trail system, making hiking, biking, fishing, and exploring incredibly easy. Wild Basin, Copeland Falls, and Copeland Lake are all less than a mile away, and the Wild Basin entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park is just across Highway 7. In every season, this is an ideal base for Colorado adventure, from summer fly-fishing and horseback riding to winter snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding, and cozy evenings by the fire.
The home is also perfectly located for weddings, family gatherings, and special celebrations, with room for everyone to spread out and enjoy time together. Guests have especially loved the open floor plan, great bedroom layout, peaceful location, mountain views, and responsive hosting. The custom shuffleboard table, games, puzzles, oversized two-car garage, and extra recreation gear add even more fun for all ages.
Tahosa Ranch feels wonderfully tucked away, yet it is only about 15 minutes to Estes Park, 25 minutes to Lyons, and 40 minutes to Boulder or Longmont. Whether you spend your days hiking right out the back door, exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, celebrating with loved ones, or simply relaxing with a cup of coffee while watching the wildlife pass by, Tahosa Ranch is a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat ready to welcome you.

Whoa, a perfect location it secluded and off the road but in a location that is still close to all the attractions in the area. The home was perfect, clean, lots of room and well kept. The owner TJ was very accommodating and quick to answer questions and provide information on the area.
This home is so beautiful and in such a peaceful location. It had everything we needed and we would love to stay there again. The kitchen was fully equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The host was quick to respond with any question we had. I would recommend staying here also because of the breathtaking view of the mountain sunrise from the master bedroom and balcony.
I stayed here with eight other people to be close to the Sunshine Mountain Lodge wedding venue. The house was big enough to accommodate all of us, with three bedrooms and a bathroom on the lower level, one bedroom and bathroom on the main level and two twin beds and a comfortable futon bed in the loft. Check-in was easy and the host was quick to answer questions during booking and during our stay. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the morning. We had a daily visit from a fox and saw bighorn sheep and a moose nearby as well. I recommend this property and would stay here again.
Great location and room for lots of people. I felt it was a little overpriced for the quality of the beds and kitchenware. But that’s most rentals near a national park these days.
place was great! was there for family wedding at meeker lodge. great room was ideal for family diners and in-laws coming over. had the time of our lives! saw a moose down the road from the house!
Beautiful location and perfect for hosting our large group for Christmas. The kids really enjoyed the shuffle board and the games/puzzles selction! Thanks again!
We stayed here for a wedding at the Wild Basin venue. The location was close to the venue. The house could use some updates but overall a nice place to stay for a large family event. The views were beautiful.
We had a blast. Our daughter got married at Wild Basin Lodge Perfect location!!! Great for our group Rehearsal dinner hosted the night before Great open floor plan, great bedrooms. Was clean and hosts were very responsive!
This home was perfect for our family vacation....plenty of room and privacy for 7 adults and 4 kids. Great location, especially if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Estes Park.
Nice cabin but it needed a lot of maintenance done. Needs some more cleaning done. Nice and peaceful location. Hosts were very responsive to questions.
Wonderful house. We truly enjoyed. Plenty of room for our big family. Wish there was more lighting in the dining and living room area

I hate to hear that you did not believe the custom antler lights with 6 bulbs on a dimmer switch, overhead lighting in the kitchen with multiple bulbs, lighting over the stove, lighting over the kitchen table, 2 floor lamps, table lamp lighting with custom leather shades over the shuffleboard, flush lighting in the bookshelves, was sufficient.
We stayed here with our 4 generations of family for my mom's 80th birthday! Everyone loved the house. The modern rustic decor is gorgeous everywhere you look. Every detail is perfection. Everything you could need is in this house: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryers, air mattresses, air pump, grill, smoker, laundry detergent, sunscreen, bug spray, bear spray, lots of pillows and blankets, food warmers, dishes, and on and on...We went for a short walk on the property and came face to face with a moose! We also saw an elk right outside the window early one morning! The coffee pot wouldn't work, but we just bought pods for the Keurig for the next day. We were close to everything to do in Estes Park and even got to park in the garage! So many games, toys, and puzzles for all ages! We saw the creek down the road a ways but never ventured down there and we weren't sure where the private entry to RMNP was, but obviously found plenty to do!The loft is bigger than expected. When the older people go to sleep downstairs, they can't even hear the loud, younger people still having fun and carrying on upstairs. They even had white noise machines that some of us utilized!The upstairs bathroom door does roll open on its own a bit, so just be aware of that...The shuffleboard table is absolutely addicting for everyone in our group ages 1-53! This host and home are phenomenal! We would all love to go back and we will all cherish the memories we made here!
This place was exactly what we were looking for! It was in a beautiful location with access to Estes park within 25 minutes. We even got to see a moose walking alongside the peppery! Our wedding party (immediate family) stayed and there was plenty of room for everyone! We would come back here!
We had a wonderful time during our stay. Great location. Had several family members come stay from out of state. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of them.
Host were very easy to get a hold of and did take care of an request prior to our stay.
We did not need anything from them while we were up there.
Beautiful place highly recommend.
Our family had a great time! We enjoyed our time together and the house made for great memories with how open it is and we really enjoyed the shuffle board table!The house was well stocked and very comfortable. Our grands enjoyed the loft area but it would have been nice to have window coverings to help with the morning light. We had some issues with the windows and screens but were able to get them working. We loved how close we were to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park…we enjoyed both!
Main bathroom needs to get rid of the big tub and step. Scary getting in and out to shower. Should just be a shower. Perfect place for fun and entertaining. Hosts were amazing. Kitchen well stocked
We had a wonderful stay in this great VRBO. It was perfect for our five member family. A large kitchen, we did lots of cooking, very spacious and open floor plan. We loved the shuffleboard. We bought firewood in town to have fires in the upstairs beautiful fireplace. Very comfortable cozy seating. Thank you!
House was as advertised in every way! Homeowner was quick to respond to every question that we had. The suggestions of restaurants, sites, itinerary, companies (white water rafting) were so helpful to maximize the 5 days we had. We followed the suggestions and everyone was great. We would recommend Snowy Peaks Winery.
If you are looking for a place with plenty of room to spread out or a place to have a family gathering, this place will fit the bill! There is room to sit around a large table for meals and afterward to play card or board games.
We would definitely recommend and stay here again!
Wonderful place to disconnect from it all for a week
Location remote- loved it. Moose, elk and coyote we think all seen on property. Fixed all our meals but one for the whole week - kitchen was good. Plenty of space, large open area. Fires in fireplace was wonderful. Bathrooms large. Beds comfy. Some updates needed to home but just a little. Definitely stop at a grocery store before getting to the house save you time. TJ , our host, was the best host we have had in all the VRBOs. He replied to question right away, was very helpful and kind. He went above and beyond and made our stay the best!

About the host
Hosted by TJ Jones
Our family loves wildlife, the Rockies and the serenity of nature. We like to work hard and take getaways to this beautiful and refreshing place, in the mountains. The fresh air supports our health and wellness.
Why they chose this property
We grew up coming to Tahosa Ranch in the 1980's to 2000's to visit our grandparents in this cabin, playing in the creek and hoping to catch a glimpse of a moose. This is an idyllic place to enjoy a family vacation, romantic getaway, relax in solitude or hike for miles. Perfectly situated on Peak to Peak highway, nestled against the forest and minutes from Estes Park, where we love to take our kids and near the Rocky Mountain National Park, where we like to drive through and watch the animals on our way to and from the sled hill. Less than one mile from the amazing Wild Basin with Copeland Lake and Copeland Falls. A very lovely place and experience.
