Cozy Rustic Townhome – Private End Unit with Golf Course & Mountain Views

Escape to this secluded 3-bedroom + loft, 2.5-bath townhome, a private end unit offering the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comforts. With cathedral ceilings, a river rock fireplace, and breathtaking views, this 2,000 sq. ft. retreat is ideal for your mountain getaway.

This home offers magnificent views of the 5th fairway and surrounding mountain range, visible from the kitchen, living room, dining room, master bedroom, queen bedroom, and loft. Large windows in the great room provide stunning year-round scenery, from wildlife on the golf course to the ever-changing mountain backdrop.

During the fall rut season, guests are treated to the incredible sight and sound of elk bugling and battling for dominance—a truly unforgettable experience. Elk are frequently spotted right from the deck, grazing on the golf course or wandering through the area. Whether it's the haunting calls of the bull elk in autumn or the peaceful presence of a herd in the winter snow, elk viewing is one of the highlights of staying at this townhome.

The spacious master suite features private deck access, a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a floor-to-ceiling tiled, walk-in double-headed shower, a Jacuzzi tub, and his-and-hers vessel sinks with granite countertops. A walk-in closet provides ample storage.

Upstairs, the second and third bedrooms each include a queen bed. A full bath with double vessel sinks, a granite countertop, and a tiled shower/tub combo is conveniently located nearby. The loft area includes a desk, office chair, and an additional big-screen television with satellite cable. A double sleeper sofa in the loft provides extra sleeping space.

The fully equipped kitchen features upgraded appliances, granite countertops, and hickory cabinets, with all the essentials for cooking and dining for up to eight guests. The dining area includes a granite-top table seating six, with six additional barstools at the breakfast bar to ensure everyone can gather comfortably.

Step outside onto the spacious, private deck and enjoy a gas BBQ grill, seating for four at the table, and additional park bench seating. This end-unit townhome offers the tranquility of a cabin in the woods while being just minutes from town.

A walking path provides easy access to downtown, just 1.5 miles away. Several great restaurants are within a half-mile, including Mother's Cafe, Cousin Pat’s, and La Cocina De Mama. The new recreation and aquatic center, Stanley Field ballpark, tennis courts, basketball courts, picnic areas, and Lake Estes are also within a half-mile. For great eats and a fun indoor activity, The Bull Pin bowling alley and entertainment center is the perfect place to spend a rainy day or unwind with family and friends.

About the host

Hosted by Michele Johnson

Host profile image
We are Roy and Michele Johnson and we started building and renting luxury condo's in 1995 when we realized there were very few if any places big enough and nice enough for a family of 6 to stay for a week. We decided to build something we would be proud to offer to our own extended family and friends. That is how Mountainview Vacation Rentals was created.

Why they chose this property

Roy and I have lived in Estes Park for over 30 years. We are raising a family and we love this town.

What makes this property unique

While you can view the golfers and the surrounding beautiful golf course, only in Estes Park can you also see the elk, deer, mountain lion, bear and coyotes on that same course. Not to mention the majestic mountains.
