About this property

Custom built Estes Park Home! Family friendly and room for everyone!

Enjoy your stay in Estes Park by staying in the Tranquil Vale! (Lic #3508) An open and spacious ranch-style home, that sits on a large lot within a gated garden oasis. The custom built home has been set up with an open concept kitchen, dining, and living space so no one feels left out of the fun. The bedrooms are all tucked away in various corners of the house giving everyone that special feel of privacy.
There are garden paths that meander through the property giving people access to great outdoor spaces for reading, bbq cooking or swinging.
The multiple bedrooms features a variety of bedding arrangements; one queen bed, two double beds, and multiple twin beds means everyone will have plenty of places to sleep.
The living room is large and open with a wood burning fireplace, large leather sofa, chair, and rocker that is perfect for relaxing. There is a 55” Samsung Internet TV hooked up for Netflix, HBO GO, Chrome-Cast, Amazon, or Hulu. There is also an HD DVD player hooked up and ready to go.

This home is very convenient to Estes Park, only 1.5 miles from the southern edge of town, just off Highway 7, on a paved road.

Please, no smoking and SMALL pets only allowed.

Please note: their is a nice renter in a downstairs apartment below front of the house only. They usually make little or no noise. The renter has their own driveway and entrance.

NEW 2019 - we had extra sound proofing and insulation put in during the Spring of 2019. Wasn't really an issue but wanted VRBO renters to feel comfortable making noise without worrying.

NEW 2020 - we just had a very nice 8 person hot tub put in on the back deck. We also added a fire pit in the back yard - so bring your s’mores sticks.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The house is beautiful and in a very convenient location for access to both RMNP and downtown Estes Park. The hosts have great communication. There are plenty of things offered to do at the house. We played darts and cornhole and had access to numerous games and puzzles. The kitchen is large and well equipped. Overall, it was a fantastic stay! I highly recommend.

Perfect Mountain Retreat in Estes Park!

We had a wonderful stay at this mountain home! The location was unbeatable – close to everything yet surrounded by nature. The fenced-in yard was perfect for our pets, and the hot tub was a great way to unwind after a day of exploring. The house itself was spacious, with plenty of sleeping options for our family of 5. It truly felt like a home away from home, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Estes Park!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this home. This is truly a "home" and I appreciate the owners sharing it with us. I appreciate the little things, like: plenty of towel racks/ plug ins/ and fully stocked kitchen. There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap... There were some condiments in the fridge that was helpful. Seeing previous reviews, there were complaints about the cleanliness. Could it be cleaner? Yes, but so could my house. I appreciated the price and the lack of a cleaning fee. The owners were very helpful when we needed them.

Great get-away in Estes Park

The property is great, Joe/Diane were great to deal with and communicate quickly. The hot tub was great, the backyard is smaller than advertised but more than sufficient. Lots of wildlife close, very quick drive to town, and house has everything you need for a long term stay. Would definitely book again.

Tranquil Lane

Overall was a great stay! Picture is a bit misleading on the size of the yard as the picture is showing yard of renters down below. Unfortunately for the owners, there is a large multistory unit being built behind their house which was an active construction site. The house had ample space and sleeping arrangements. Kitchen was fully stocked for all our cooking needs (except a cheese grader 😃 )! Hot tub was excellent!

Thanks for the review and feedback on the property! We should make it more clear about the yard area - that actually IS an area for our guests to use... downstairs renter has a small side yard he can use ... it’s just not signed well (we will get that updated). We are coordinating with the city on privacy issues surrounding the multi story unit they are building behind our property - been a frustrating few months. We have a plan in place and that should be completed this Spring (2021). Glad you had a good stay. Joe and Diane

Lovely winter getaway!

We really enjoyed the property. The kitchen, dining and living room are all 1 open space which was great for everyone to hang out together. We also really enjoyed the hot tub! We were disappointed in the beds. The mattresses were really uncomfortable and there were only twin or full sizes, no queen or king sized beds. Also would have been good to know that 2 of the bedrooms connect so that you have to walk through one to get to the other. I would recommend to the owners to update all of the finishes and furnishings for a more modern feel, right now everything is pretty outdated and it doesn't really feel like a vacation home.

Great feedback Norma! Hopefully this gives new renters a good idea of the layout. We do have a Queen sized bed (new mattress as of 2020) in the main bedroom (not sure if you realized it was a queen). Additionally we have two full sized and the rest are twins (four with new mattresses). Our goal is to replace all the remaining mattresses in the next year. Another goal is to replace the furniture in the main living area within two years and add in some new fixtures to boot! Thanks for staying at the house!

There were 6 cars and 2 large RV's adjacent to the home when we arrived. This is where the renter takes access to the basement of the home. One of the RV's has a blue tarp covering the roof. Very unsightly, especially from the views of the second floor.The owner stated the renter was very quiet. The renter was NOT quiet! Around 6am on our first morning we woke up to the sound of the renter starting their car and letting it warm up for 10 minutes before leaving. Later that day when we arrived at the house around 5pm after being gone all day, we could hear what sounded like 2 individuals having a very loud and heated argument. We left the property hoping the argument would be resolved by the time we returned. We got back to the house around 6:30 pm. At this time we could hear what sounded like 3 or more voices screeching, laughing and yelling. The party continued nonstop for over 2 hours when we decided to leave the property and head home.Several condiments in the kitchen cupboards have an expiration date going back to 2018.There was black material on the grout behind the kitchen sink - we assumed it was mold.The kitchen sink spray wand is broken and the collar around the hose at the sink is loose and exposes the cabinet below.There were fans in the house available for use but many of them were caked with dirt from heavy use.There was anice entire wall of shelves displaying games and dvd's. The 2 ceiling lights above the selves were burnt out.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 16, 2025
Thanks for the feedback. I believe we got all the lights fixed and the fans cleaned. The house is used by our family during the summer and we feel like we get most everything ready for guests for the Fall and Winter. We will check on the sprayer and the sink - usually works fine for us. The couple downstairs that rents are so nice never get complaints and it is easy for me to let them know if they are ever too loud (there is sound proofing and insulation we had put in as well so not sure if you had a window open?) unfortunately you never let us know you heard them and just left the property to write a bad review. As you can tell from all the other reviews they are never an issue.

We were a group of old college friends who like to get together once a year in cool places and hike and reconnect. This house had plenty of beds, a very functional full kitchen and grill (which we used), a comfortable gathering space to connect (and watch football). Hot tub was great after a day hiking. Great location to explore Estes and RMNP

Large home with 4 bedrooms & multiple beds. You do have to go through 2 bedrooms to go to the backyard & hot tub but it wasn't a problem for us. The back yard, patio, & hot tub were nice. It was a good value for the price. We would definitely go there again. One morning we saw 5 elk right across the driveway.

About the host

Hosted by Joseph Croteau

Host profile image

We live in Longmont, Colorado and purchased Tranquil Vale for our large family to use for family gatherings and special occasions. We are not far away should you need anything for your stay!

Why they chose this property

We have a big family and use this property for family get togethers. We have taken care of the cleaning fee into the price which makes it much more affordable for families to afford to come to Estes Park and experience the Rocky Mountains together. It has everything one could need to spend anywhere from a couple of nights to an entire week. Enjoy the location and proximity to everything Estes Park has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The fenced in nature of the property makes it unique. Wandering paths through gardens and built in outdoor space makes it ideal for people who want to comforts of a mountain home but also enjoy being outside.
