About this property

Amazing Views~Modern Rustic~3 miles to RMNP Entrance~Peaceful area of Estes!

Welcome to Elk Meadow Lodge! License #6165. The view off back deck is unbelievable! Relax in this spacious 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 2-story vacation rental that will feel brand new. Conveniently located in the highly sought after Mary’s Lake region. This modern rustic townhome with a first floor master suite is only 3 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park and the town of Estes Park. It's just a short drive to town but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. It has gorgeous mountain and lake views and within walking distance to Mary’s Lake. It also has great WIFI if you need to work from our cabin.

Our townhome can sleep up to 8 people, and offers over 2000 sf of well appointed living space. Relax on the covered deck or lower patio and watch elk, coyotes, deer, and other wildlife graze in the meadow below. The wildflowers are abundant in the spring and early summer and the birds will soar by you as you are sitting on the deck. Enjoy the gas fireplace on chilly evenings in the great room, or watch movies, play games or put together a puzzle in our cozy lower level living room. It's a great area for the kids to get away and it features a pull-out couch and loveseat and a full size Legend Video Arcade including Burgertime, Centipede, Asteroids, Tron, Star Wars, Lion King, Space Invaders, Star Wars, Fix it Felix and many more!

The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need. Plenty of pots and pans, slow cooker, Ninja Blender, teapot, Keurig dual cup/pot coffee maker with filters provided, baking sheets, etc. Beautiful granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances add to the upscale feel and is a great space for enjoying the holidays with friends and family. The large table accomodates 8 people and makes a great place to gather for food, games, puzzles, and cards after a long day in the park. There is also a gas grill on the upper deck for cooking with a view.

Absolutely Wonderful

We loved our stay here! It was clean and very comfortable with any extras we could have needed, like a booster seat and pack and play. We loved the close proximity to the National park. It was just a 5 minute drive which was perfect because we went into the park everyday. We also loved the quiet neighborhood with the great views. Thank you so much for this beautiful place to stay!

Perfect Estes Park and RMNP Home

This was our second stay at Leah and Tom's condo. We love the location, just outside of town and it's proximity to hiking in the park. Our hosts have made the space very comfortable, and the views from the deck with our morning coffee were beautiful. The house is very clean and the kitchen has everything you might need. Would love to stay here again!

Great condo/duplex & views!

We had a great stay for 5 nights. The views and location are very good, but we marked it down slightly due to the road noise from Marys Lake Road which was mainly during the day. Thanks Tom & Leah!

Family Getaway

We enjoyed our time at this beautiful home! It was perfect for our family of 4 plus the grandparents. The view from the back deck was beautiful and the location was perfect! It was so close to downtown that we made a trip to Hayley’s Ice Cream every night for their delicious homemade ice cream. The house was spotless with everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this home!

Top Notch

Condo was absolutely stunning. Very well appointed, comfortable beds and seating areas including power recliners looking out towards the mountains. Had everything we needed. Reserved parking spot in an absolute fantastic location just a short drive away from the hustle and bustle. If (when) we ever visit RNMP again, we'll be looking to reserve this condo again! Highly recommended, you won't be sorry

Wonderful stay!

We enjoyed our stay and the condo is beautiful, well stocked and beautiful views. We had elk out our backdoor every morning & evening. Only complaint is the deck needed more lighting, hard to see while grilling in the evening. Not much parking for more than two cars. We would love to visit again!!!!

Beautiful Place close to RMNP Entry

The townhouse had wonderful views and was perfect for two couples, but would also work for families since the downstairs has two queen beds and a couch in the living area. Both upstairs and downstairs had a deck with gorgeous views as well as living rooms. The area was very quiet and was only a few miles from both the main part of town and the entrance to the park. The kitchen had everything we needed and plenty of space. Would definitely stay here again. While we drove to town several times for meals, we enjoyed being away from the hustle & bustle for quiet evenings and mornings.

What an incredible stay! We were welcomed by a generous and thoughtful gift basket. The view was absolutely gorgeous! Within an hour of arrival we saw both mule deer and elk in the meadow. Coyotes were also spotted down the road. The house was perfect! We are looking forward to another stay, hopefully in the near future!

Gorgeous Home, Amazing Hosts

The property is perfect - we love this neighborhood for it's proximity to many things, and Leah and Tom's spot is outstanding. Lots of time spent on the upper patio with elk and deer visitors throughout the week. Amazing storms rolling in over the Mummy Range which turned into gorgeous rainbow afternoons later. Cozy but spacious; everything we needed.

We enjoy hiking and camping and frequently visit Estes Park.
We are excited to share our beautiful townhome in the majestic Mary’s Lake region of Estes Park!

Why they chose this property

Our townhome is located in the quiet and majestic Mary's Lake region of Estes Park.
We have floor to ceiling windows in our great room which overlook the incredible Rocky Mountains! It's truly breathtaking!
We are just 3 miles away from the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park (Moraine Park Entrance) and 4 miles from downtown Estes Park!
Lily Lake is just 3 miles away, up the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway (Colorado Hwy 7). It is a local favorite, ideal for a picnic or short walk around the lake that is good for the whole family!

What makes this property unique

Our property looks out to Mary's Lake and has amazing views of the Colorado Rockies right out the back door! We often see elk in the meadow right outside our back window and deck. In the Fall we were blessed to hear them bugling!
