Rocky Retreat

Our family visited Estes Park for the 1st time this past week. We stayed at the Rocky Retreat and could not have been happier with our choice. The hosts were very responsive to requests or questions and did everything they could to make our stay memorable. This house is situated in a great spot, close to town, shops, restaurants, and RMNP.

The house was great. Had everything we needed. The stairs to the family room can be difficult to navigate for older folks. They are steep and narrow. Loved the location...we walked right over to the tram and its very close to downtown. The owners are very responsive. Highly recommend.

Great Time & Place for a Getaway

Perfectly comfortable all around and we settled in easily. Taking a glass of wine on the deck and watching the clouds moving in to shroud the surrounding peaks... soaking in the spa... all of it so inspiring. Couples will enjoy myriad comfort elements.

Great House

We loved the house in Estes - great location and was easily walkable to downtown breweries & restaurants. Unfortunately there was a heat wave the couple nights we were there, there is no AC which I’m sure most days are not needed, if you are sensitive to heat please keep this in mind. It was definitely toasty especially during the day! Other than that issue that is uncontrollable - we had an excellent stay and would definitely book again. Thanks!

Estes Cabin Experience

We had a great experience at the Rocky Retreat! This is walking distance to the downtown area (although quite a hill to get to house so it might be challenging for elderly etc). The house worked great for us. Everything was labeled, they had coffee kups, seasoning, and some snacks for guests. Plenty of towels, and washing machine. The master bedroom and bed were the best part. It’s very cute, relaxing and the bed is very comfortable. They have a ton of games for families, too! Great communication from the owners.

Great stay for the cost

In terms of proximity to the park and downtown Estes Park it was a great location. We were able to get to everything we wanted to do. The house offered a hot tub, washer/dryer and full kitchen. There is no air conditioner so the hot days were 78 degrees on the main floor, noting it was much warmer upstairs. There is opportunity to give more attention to details around the property but everything was functional with the exception of the Wi-Fi and some TV remotes, but was addressed upon reaching out to the hosts, who were very helpful. Some of the conditions of the furniture, lighting and structure of the house are off but it suited our needs without breaking the bank.

About the host

Hosted by Laura & Mark Richins

Host profile image
Hi! We are Mark and Laura and love an adventure. As a family with four grown children, we love the outdoors and hiking, kayaking, backpacking and camping. We find joy in spending time with our growing family. We also like to get away and spend time together exploring our amazing world and the beauty that surrounds us. Our love for adventure is what brought us to the mountains to find a home that we could enjoy and share with others.

Why they chose this property

As a family who loves the outdoors and Colorado we wanted to find a place where not only we could make memories but also share with others who wanted to spend time in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. We came across this home that was unique and had personality. With Marks skill and knack for woodworking and remodeling, he went to work making our Rocky Retreat just how we want it and to make it ours. We love how it turned out and how close it is to town but still in the mountains and around wildlife. It is close enough to our hometown of Loveland so we can come up when we just need to get away. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Close to town, activities and attractions but secluded on the mountain with a hot tub and comfortable living area. The boulders that roll off the front porch are a fun and unique feature and a great place to sit and watch the elk, deer, rabbits, chipmunks and other wildlife that might happen to wander through the yard.
