Spectacular Views in Forest Setting-Coaster Passes-HotTub-Fireplace-King Bed-AC
EP #3541. Beautiful 840 sq ft. studio house in Estes Park with a vaulted ceiling, large windows, and stunning views of Twin Sisters and Mt. Meeker. Lots of wildlife. Elk can often be seen while sitting on the deck. Relax in the private hot tub after a day of sightseeing or hiking and enjoy amazing views of the stars in this dark sky community. Sleep on a king size Casper Original, one of the highest rated mattresses by Consumer Reports. Only 5 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park.
This house is one large open space and does not have separate bedrooms. Also, please note that there are no curtains on the upper windows. This has been done intentionally for the views. During the nighttime, starlight and moonlight can come in through the upper windows.
The house has two unlimited ride passes to the Mustang Mountain Coaster that you are welcome to use during your stay. Zip through the forest at nearly 30 mph or take it slow and enjoy the scenery down 3,000 ft of track. You can ride the coaster alone or with a passenger. The coaster is located at 1180 Dry Gulch Rd in Estes Park, which is a 5.5 mile drive (approximately 10 minutes) from the house. Please call or visit their website for days and hours of operation. (Some days they are closed.) Please note, there is a $250 replacement fee for each pass that is missing from the house upon check-out.
Due to my house cleaner's schedule, I am unable to make arrangements for an early check in or a late check out. On the day of check in, I will send you a message as soon as the house is ready to go. (The house is typically ready to go between 2pm and 3pm.)
My insurance company does not allow for any open flames or outdoor smoking at the house due to fire risk.
The house is connected to the town's Trailblazer fiber optic gigabit internet service. The hot tub is available year round but cannot be used during high winds.
During the autumn, winter, and spring, I strongly recommend you bring a vehicle with 4WD / AWD. The town generally does a good job of plowing and sanding the roads in the neighborhood in a timely manner after each snow storm, but if you need to drive while the snow is still falling, or you are going up to higher elevations such as Rocky Mountain National Park where they tend to get more snow, it's a good idea to have it.
The house is decorated for the holidays with an artificial Christmas tree and Christmas wreath. (Typically the week after Thanksgiving through New Year's Day)

Check-out instructions
The host requires you complete the following before checking out:
Remove personal items
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
Check Out (10am): Please double check that the range and fireplace are off, the windows are closed, the hot tub cover is latched, and the doors are locked.
If you have a minute and are able to put the dishes in the dishwasher and start it up, that would be great (but please don't worry about it if you are short on time).
No need to do anything with the bedding, towels or trash. Lastly, if you can message me when you have checked out, that will allow me to let our cleaner know that she is ok to start cleaning.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

About the host
Hosted by Violet Tuskind
Hi! My name is Violet. I feel very fortunate to live in Estes Park, a lovely town near the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. I enjoy hiking, biking, and camping with family and friends. One of my favorite things to do in the morning is to make myself a cup of coffee and watch the wildlife pass by.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I built this small house in 2019. This is a quiet neighborhood with homes that sit on half acre lots with trees, wildlife, and mountain views. We hope you enjoy the house as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
The house has 2 unlimited ride passes to the Mustang Mountain Coaster that you are welcome to use during your stay. A 3-pack of tickets costs $35 so if 2 people were to ride 3 times each, this is a $70 value. Zip through the forest at nearly 30 mph or take it slow and enjoy the scenery down 3,000 ft of track. You can ride the coaster alone or with a passenger. The coaster is located at 1180 Dry Gulch Rd in Estes Park, which is a 5 mile drive (approximately 10 minutes) from the house. Days and hours are limited during the winter and the coaster may be closed during inclement weather. Please note that there is a $250 replacement fee for each pass that is missing from the house upon check-out.
