About this property

Lake and Mountain view, Private, Convenient location, Hot tub, WIFI, Theater

Vacation Home License 20-NCD0278

A tranquil setting, convenient to the Rocky Mountain National Park and to the town of Estes Park. A five minute drive will put you at the Rocky Mountain National Park entrance. Five minutes will also get you to the center of downtown Estes Park. Most restaurants are within ten minutes and all of the fine dining within fifteen minutes of this property.

This 2700 square foot home sits at an elevation of 8200 feet at the base of Rams Horn Mountain. Natural beauty and Wilderness are right outside the door.

We have named our mountain house 'Dream Lake' after one of our favorite hiking trail stops. Hiking trails in Rocky Mountain National Park to Emerald Lake and Lake Haiyaha take us past Dream Lake.

Large Decks with mountain views and log furniture chairs and tables to seat several guests.
Gigabit Internet, Secure Wireless network anywhere in the house and on the decks. Internet computer provided for guest use.Wireless printer with scan and copy.
The hot tub is a Sundance Altamar 850 that seats up to six, and runs year round 24/7.
A well equipped kitchen with everything needed to prepare and serve a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
Hi-def home theater with surround sound, Satellite, DVR, DVD,VCR. Screen is 120' diagonal. Lots of entertainment here.
The theater has its own tv tuner,120 channels of satellite tv, This theater is very unique as you can view the mountains and wildlife while you are watching movies or TV!
Xbox 360 with controllers and games. Four rock band wireless guitars (including the Fender Mustang) with wireless drum set and key board.
Xbox 360 Kinect with games on a separate X-box console so you don't have to change connections.
We have about twenty video game titles at this time with all the popular rock band, Guitar hero, Halo,Kinect, and Wii games.

Maximum number of guests is twelve, that number includes infants and lap children. The county's strict short term rental rules set the number.
Vrbo counts sleeper sofas and pac-n-plays as beds. This is misleading as there are seven "proper" beds, not eleven, like some of the vrbo information says. Three kings, one queen, and three twins. There is one queen size sleeper sofa and one twin size sleeper sofa in the theater room. a twin size roll away is in the down stairs laundry room and it can be moved anywhere downstairs. There is a twin mattress under the twin bed in the downstairs "barn door" bedroom that can be placed anywhere as needed.
There are two "pac-n-play" cribs that can be put anywhere in the house. there are two "dream on me" mattresses for the pac-n-plays and bedding.
We have over three hundred reviews from guests who enjoyed their stay.

We enjoyed the hot tub in the mornings watching the sunrise with coffee, deer, and elk as they came down near the yard. A large bull elk was near the lake one day. Easy in & out to town and RMNP. Lots of beds to rest our heads! Thank you to a great host for answering our questions when needed.

The home was clean and comfortable and a great place to relax each day. The beds were made up with plenty of pillows and blankets, and there was additional bedding available if we needed it, as well as plenty of towels. The house was an easy drive to its location and close to our planned activities (Rocky Mountain National Park, The Stanley Hotel), several restaurants, and a grocery store. There was plenty of space and seating for our group on 9, and we saw elk and deer every day. The hot tub was leaking when during our stay, but our host came by every day to fill it up and it got plenty of use.

The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. I brought vanilla just in case but didn't need it. I was impressed with the amount of stuff was in the kitchen for visitors to use. The rooms were big enough for all of us and the kids had plenty to do. The hot tub was clean and hot, just right for sitting in at night and star gazing. Close to town where we did not have to drive far to get a few thing we forgot to bring. We loved this house and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Estes Park, our family had a great time.

I cannot say enough about how great this rental was. Everything we could possibly need for our large group of three small families was there for us. So much helpful info about the property was provided by the host. We were just minutes from downtown Estes Park and the entrance to RMNP. The host was so helpful with information to us about timed entry into the park which was required starting the day we got there. Thank you!!!!There’s a nearby lake to walk to, as well as trails that part of our party got to run. The house is a little dated but in a way that feels very comfortable. It felt very real-life homey. The only note we had was that the temperature was a little hard to control in the house, but it didn’t cause too many problems. The baseboard heat in the basement helped a little at night but it was still very chilly down there. I bet later in the summer it is not as much of an issue.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Estes Park cabin! The space was extremely comfortable and fully stocked with everything we needed for our visit, condiments, toiletries and coffee including anything we may have needed if we brought a child.The beds were cozy, and there were plenty of blankets to keep us warm. The host was very accommodating and even allowed us to check in a bit earlier, which we really appreciated. The water pressure in the showers was excellent.The wrap-around deck was amazing—perfect for enjoying the views and relaxing outside. The hot tub was a lovely bonus; while it was only at 96 degrees when we arrived, it was still very enjoyable and felt wonderfully private. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone visiting the area!

I can't say enough good things about both this property and the owner. If I could give it 10 stars, I would!The house is situated in a very quiet neighborhood, yet is close to the Rocky Mountain National Park as well as restaurants and shops. It is immaculate, and is very well maintained. We had fun using the modern, well-stocked kitchen. The porches/decks provide lovely views of the mountains, and the yard is frequented by birds, deer, and other wildlife. Our kids also enjoyed the hot tub. It's a great place to relax and unwind.Gary, the owner, was an ideal host. He was very quick to respond to questions via text, and went out of his way to ensure that we were comfortable. Prior to our arrival, he sent us a massive information packet which answered any and all imaginable questions regarding the property. He also went out of his way to remove the snow that unexpectedly arrived just prior to our move-in date, and thus ensured our safety.Overall, it was the best VRBO experience we've had, and deserves an A rating!

About the host

Hosted by Gary Peak

Host profile image
We live a little less than an hour away in Fort Collins.
We have vacationed all over and often rented homes to stay in, and those were our best vacation memories.

Why they chose this property

It's all about the view! This area of the Rockies is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and one of the few very beautiful locations that has year-round activities.
The location and convenience are a nice bonus, but the views were the main consideration in choosing this property.Every room, every window in this house has a great view. We looked for years at Estes Park and Grand lake for a second home that would be an investment and eventually a retirement home for us. We saw lots of properties with no nice view, or tiny windows, or neighbors too close,too small,or too 'inconvenient' to get to. This home is in a perfect, very quiet spot. Our neighbors are few, they are not close by, and do not spoil the view. Getting to the Park, the restaurants, and the shopping are easy from this location. On Summer weekends when the town is jammed with tourists, it is easy to bypass the traffic by using Peak View and Riverside drive.
We love to go hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, and access to the park is quick and easy from this location. The drive to the Park from our property does not go through town and traffic is never an issue even on Summer weekends.

What makes this property unique

We have gone a bit overboard with guest amenities.
No vacation home has more entertainment options. The home theater with video games and movies will occupy the kids down stairs while the adults enjoy the view and 50 inch plasma tv upstairs.
