About Ed or Aaron Acela
My Wife, Father and I purchased our home in Estes Park in October of 2000. My father had traveled to Colorado many times with his parents as a kid. When he shared the mountain experience with me for the first time I knew I would always come back. We chose Estes Park as the people here are great and the atmosphere in town is very warm and inviting. In the spring there is lush green and wildflowers. Summer offers beautiful scenery and cool mountain air. Fall abounds with golden aspen and wildlife to include elk, deer, rabbit and even the occasional bear. Winters are mild and there is even downhill skiing and snow boarding within an hours drive. With just five minutes to downtown Estes or the entrance to RMNP we knew this was home.

Why Ed or Aaron Acela chose Front Range
Our family enjoys sitting on the deck and watching the clouds roll in over Longs Peak in the afternoon while our three daughters use grandpa’s binoculars searching the mountain sides and looking at the humming birds. The sky is so blue and the smell of pine trees in the air is relaxing while my wife enjoys a favorite book. Many evenings are spent grilling on the deck and eating as a family at the picnic table. Many nights are spent talking and telling stories next to the fire in the living room and planning the next days hike around Estes or in Rocky Mountain National Park.
What makes this house unique
A breathtaking view and herds of elk in the yard, along with the quiet secluded area and large moss rock fireplace are a few of the unique features of our cabin.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Dear Ed,
We had a lovely time getting to know our future daughter-in-law and catching up with our sons. The view is spectacular as promised.

Great House, Fantastic Vacation
This trip included myself, my husband, parents and in laws (6 total). We were there Sept 1, 2017 - Sept 9, 2017. I'll start with all the great things, offer some tips and end with only two complaints.
First of all, the house is perfect. The right size with plenty of bedroom space. Two full bathrooms, a large dining room table and two decks made the house even better. We cooked breakfast every morning and nearly every evening for dinner. The kitchen was nicely stocked with good pots/pans and utensils. We loved the turquoise dishes! We found several spices and a couple bags of sugar. Take your own salt/pepper/spices just in case if you plan on cooking. The kitchen was equipped with two dish rags, a couple towels, roll of paper towels, a bottle of dish soap and six dishwasher pods. The coffee pot quit working the first or second evening of our stay. I called Ed and he brought over a brand new one before 7:30am the next morning. The bathrooms only had one roll of toilet paper each, so bring extra!! The beds were okay - would be great if they were king sized. Pillows were good too. The house is located within minutes of the RMNP entrance via Hwy 36. Great location! I only have two complaints: 1) Dryer - The house has a washer and dryer and even had a partial bottle of laundry detergent. The dryer was the problem. It would not dry ANYTHING. We would run our towels or clothes through one or two cycles and then hang them to finish drying. 2) Air Conditioner - We are from Oklahoma, so we know heat. This house does not have a/c. I have stayed in another cabin in Estes Park before that did not have a/c and it was extremely comfortable. This house, not so much. It has a sunroom off the kitchen/living room and it acts like an oven. The house was so hot the first two days of our stay, I was starting to question our decision. My mother in law was miserable. The rest of us were okay because the heat didn't bother us. It was in the mid to upper 80's the first two days of our stay so the house was very hot. We found the exhaust fan in the sunroom and it helped a little.
Overall, this is an excellent place to stay. Plenty of room, plenty of kitchen "stuff" and close to RMNP. I recommend this to anyone looking for a large house to rent!
WOW !! Big Home !! Great Location and Fabulous Views !!
Our family has been visiting Estes Park for many years and will definitely stay here again and are already planning when we can come back!!!
We saw lots of elk in the yard and several deer during our week at House on the Rocks…. The amount of hummingbirds on the deck was incredible as there was a humming bird feeder in the garage that we hung up on the deck. We arrived at the house in the evening and enjoyed coffee on the deck our fist morning and still have the views of Longs Peak in our heads. Very Large home with four large bedrooms and two full baths made our family stay very comfortable. The house was very clean and quite. The home was a little dated (inside trim and kitchen cabinets) and offered everything our family needed and was very comfortable. The location was perfect, close to downtown and just a few minutes to RMNP. The cabin is located in a very quite neighborhood with easy access and had a large deck with gas grill . We spent every morning and evening as a family on the deck watching the sunrise/set and the clouds roll over the mountains. We spent many afternoons hiking in the park and shopping downtown.
We cant wait to come back !!!
The Corbins
Our stay at "House on the Rocks" was great.
From the moment we walked in and saw Long's Peak and the Colorado blue skies out the family/dining room windows to a week later as the sun came up and lit up the same scene, we enjoyed ourselves. The accommodations; hot water, great water pressure, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and its utensils and china, and refrigerators made our stay very special. We had family over for supper one evening and being able to sit on the deck looking at the mountains was remarkable. My family wanted to know how I found this special place. We would stay again at 611 Heinz Parkway because it was close to town as well as the entrance to the park. My grandchildren enjoyed the space to play and being able to get to Fun City, the Aerial Tramway and the park without having to sit in the car too long. The bedroom arrangements made it ideal for children because they could be in their bedroom on the lower level and the adults could gather upstairs after bedtime. I am glad I chose House on the rocks. Many family memories were made during our week stay and they will be with us forever.
GREAT VIEW, LOTS OF ROOM, PROPERTY NEEDS SOME IMPROVEMENTS
We enjoyed the great view and roomy house but there could have been some improvements. The house was not overly clean. Shelves and tops of registers were dusty. Kitchen cabinets had very old shelf paper and were not clean. There was a very dirty refrigerator on the sun porch. Deck and outside steps had a lot of loose nails sticking up and broken deck chairs that could be dangerous. We felt we had to clean the dishes before using due to the state of the cabinets and actually tried to clean them up some. Lazy suzan was particularly dirty.
Still Daydreaming...
It doesn't get any better!
The House on the Rocks was perfect for us. Everything we needed was supplied. The house was clean and we felt very comfortable. For one week, it was our special home. The mountain views are just amazing! The property had a secluded feel and was a resting place for many visitors. We had a couple herds of elk take a break in "our" yard in the evenings. We also had one visit from a small herd of deer. There were also many colorful birds (compared to what we see at home), including a few humming-birds. Lots of great pictures!
The area/RMNP is amazing. We hiked the Deer Mountain, Gem Lake and Ute trails (way up there!). We went horseback riding one day and rented ATV's one day. We enjoyed downtown Estes Park and found ourselves there just about every day. All these great places were just a short ride from the house.
We talk of returning, and when we do, we will try to secure the House on the Rocks!
Thanks for the memories!!!
Spectacular House on The Rocks
I stayed here with my wife and 4 adult children . The panoramic view of the Rocky mountains from the balcony was astonishing. There was plenty of private space for all of us.The house had all the amenities of home.My kids commented how quite and peaceful it was and the occasional herd of elk in the yard.Just minutes to the entrance of the RMNP and downtown. My family had a great time here and it was hard to leave. For the size of the property it is probably the best deal in Estes Park. We will be coming back here in the near future.
Map
