Rustic Mountain Retreat | End-Unit on the Golf Course with Incredible Wildlife Viewing
Escape to this peaceful end-unit townhome overlooking the Estes Park Golf Course, where mountain views, abundant wildlife, and a quiet setting create the perfect Rocky Mountain getaway. This beautifully appointed 2-bedroom plus loft, 2-bath home comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests and combines the convenience of main-level living with the privacy of an upper-level guest retreat.
The primary suite, kitchen, dining area, living room, and private deck are all located on the main level, making the home especially comfortable for couples or guests who prefer to avoid stairs. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious second bedroom, a full bath, and an open loft featuring a second TV, dedicated workspace, and a sleeper sofa, creating a separate space for kids, friends, or additional guests.
The open-concept great room welcomes you with soaring cathedral ceilings, a stunning river rock fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase breathtaking mountain and golf course views. The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, upgraded appliances, beautiful hickory cabinetry, and everything you need to prepare meals after a day of exploring Estes Park.
One of the most memorable parts of staying here is the wildlife. Elk frequently graze on the golf course just outside the deck, deer wander through the neighborhood, and during the fall rut you'll hear the unforgettable sound of bugling elk echoing through the valley. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening, wildlife viewing often becomes the highlight of our guests' stay.
Step onto the private deck to enjoy the fresh mountain air, fire up the BBQ grill, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings.
Although the setting feels tucked away, you're just 1.5 miles from downtown Estes Park's shops, restaurants, breweries, and galleries. Lake Estes, Stanley Park, the Estes Park Golf Course, and the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park are all just minutes away. During the summer months, a free shuttle stop nearby makes exploring town easy without needing to drive.
Traveling with little ones? We proudly partner with BabyQuip, allowing you to rent cribs, high chairs, strollers, and other baby gear for delivery before you arrive.
Need additional space for a larger group? We also own a nearby 3-bedroom townhome, making it easy to accommodate extended families or friends traveling together while still enjoying nearby accommodations.
To help every stay feel relaxed and unhurried, we intentionally leave a buffer day before and after many reservations. If your travel dates are flexible or you notice a small opening that isn't available to book online, please reach out. We may be able to accommodate special requests that don't appear on the public calendar.
Our pricing includes all fees with no hidden charges, so you can book with confidence and focus on enjoying your mountain vacation.
Whether you're visiting for hiking, wildlife photography, golf, fall elk season, or simply a peaceful escape to the mountains, we'd love to welcome you to your home away from home in Estes Park.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The condo is even better than pictured! Everything you need and perfect location! My family comes to Estes Park at least once a year, and this is our new favorite spot! Would love to stay here again! Super quiet, and the wildlife, few… everything was perfect!! Michelle was so considerate, making sure our family had everything we needed when the local Safeway was on strike.
