About this property

Charming Mountain Getaway, 5 minutes to Downtown Estes Park

3 Bed/3 bath-Extra ordinary Mountain Views and close to downtown!
Registration Number 3211
Ideal family, mountain getaway. You will love your stay at Northridge Nest, a spacious ranch-style home, that sits on a large lot in a quiet, established neighborhood with wide open spaces and dramatic views of the continental divide. The interior of the home has been remodeled with a new kitchen, and all three baths have been renovated. New carpet and floor coverings were added throughout in 2015. We also listen to guest recommendations and have added screen doors to both sliding doors in the house, and replaced wifi modem to be more efficient and high speed.
Property highlights:
Game room, featuring a ping pong table, bar and television and table, in garage is a family favorite! Kids can be entertained for hours while adults can enjoy the relaxing views. It’s a wonderful place to make memories. Owners continually update furniture, paint, linens and dishes to keep the home feeling clean, comfortable and modern. Updates are made every year! Home is professionally cleaned, top to bottom, in between every guest.
Bedroom highlights:
The rooms are tastefully decorated with quality linens and furnishings. Every window has mountain views! Wake up to elk in yard surrounding the property. The master bedroom features a king bed, with private full bath adjacent, featuring two vanities. Bedroom two also has a king, with a shared ¾ bath. The third bedroom is exceptionally large, with two queen beds, and a private full bath with double vanity and a large walk-in closet. Walk in closet is large enough for pack n play or extra storage. In addition there is a queen air mattress located in the closet.
Kitchen highlights:
Ideal for cooking a large holiday meal, the updated eat-in kitchen has new cabinets and fixtures, and is well equipped with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, crock pot and cooking utensils. If you read the reviews the home is complimented for being the “best stocked kitchen”. There is also a dinette set that seats six, a bar with two stools, and a formal dining room with seating for eight. The kitchen has an electric range/oven, over the oven hooded microwave, refrigerator with cold water and ice maker, and dishwasher.
Outdoor area:
The large patio, adjacent to the kitchen, has a gas grill, 2 sets of table and chairs, and an awesome 360 degree view of the continental divide. Grilling a meal outside is a must during summer months!
Living Space:
The living room is large and open with a portable gas fireplace, a large sofa and chair, so the entire family can watch the new Sony 46” High Definition TV, Satellite High Definition DirecTV service, with local, sports and movie channels, ROKU-Netflix movie library with 300+ movies and High Definition Blue Ray DVD Player with Pandora Radio and NETFLIX movies. Board games, DVD movies, books, and many other extra comforts of home are included.
Accessibility:
There is an expansive feeling in the house because the rooms are all so spacious, and with the exception of five steps at the front entrance and two at the back, there are no stairs.
Amenities:
High-speed wireless internet is provided and a large desk is provided in case you need to conduct business while on vacation.
There is a laundry room with full-sized washer and dryer as well.
Extras for families with kids include a pack n'play and high chair.
The oversized garage even features a ping-pong table!
This home is convenient to Estes Park, only a mile from the eastern edge of town, just off Highway 34, on a paved road. There are nice views of mountains from every angle of the yard, and deer and elk frequently congregate on the lawn.
Please, take a moment to read our fabulous reviews! We want you to have a wonderful stay at this house and do our best to ensure that you are happy!

Perfect layout for three couples

The house was very spacious, beds were comfortable, the kitchen was very useable with decent pans and great kitchen table. The bedroom layouts were great. The only issue was the house temperature when we got in at 4pm was 45 degrees. It took three hours to warm up.

Great house for families

The house was very clean. Plenty of room and things to do provided. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes ,glasses, cookware and utensils! My family was very comfortable. The location was perfect for visiting the national park as well as restaurants and grocery store. A unexpected and fun group of visitors also came with the rental. A herd of 19 elk visited every day!!

Estes Park Gem

Loved our stay here. The location was great (even an elk on the lawn when we arrived) and the inside was so spacious. We had more than enough room to spread out and the game room in the garage was an added bonus!

Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park

We had six of us, my husband and I as well as his two sisters and their husbands, that gathered together to enjoy family time as well as exploring Estes Park And Rocky Mountain NP. The house was very spacious and comfortable for all of us. The kitchen is well stocked as well. I will point out that the house could use a bit of sprucing up and there is a musty smell inside. Overall we enjoyed our stay and having the elk in the yard with us was fun.

Spacious and comfortable

7 adults enjoyed staying comfortably at the cabin. Great location, especially for this time of year. We drove through herds of elk to get to the cabin more than once. We would use this cabin again if with a large group again. Also seemed to have lots of stuff for young children.

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, easy access to everything!

We loved it!! It was perfect for our family of 5. We didn’t want to leave and would definitely stay again! Only suggestion would be a pair of Adirondack chairs on the back patio to enjoy your coffee or watch the sun sets.

Quality Family Time

We were three families who stayed in the property for a week. Check-in was easy. The location of the house was quiet and had fantastic views of the mountains. It was also not too far from downtown. The amenities were complete, and everyone had enough space for themselves. My toddler absolutely loved the converted garage/game room and spent many hours playing and making art in the kid's table.

Deer abound

Very nice property. We would definitely stay here again. It is extremely quiet, day and night. Owner was a delight, We had a minor plumbing issue but it was resolved immediately and hassle free. The plumber was a very polite and extremely competent young man. I appreciate the fact that when on a family vacation we never had a single worry about our accommodations. Overall we were very comfortable and felt right at home the entire time.

Everything you will need

Couldn't have asked for a better place to vacation with our family. We had our grandkids ages 6 and 3 and they had so much fun in the game room. Not to mention our nightly neighborhood walk looking for wild life. We saw numerous elk on several occasions. Perfect location for entering the RMNP and going into town. Plenty of space to spread out and not get in each other's way.

Home away from home.

Wonderful time for 6 members of 3 generation family. The kitchen had all of the necessities and then some. It lacked nothing and even had many staples provided. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect sizes. The views were spectacular from front and back of the home. The entire family enjoyed the game room, especially the ping pong table. Located perfect distance from shopping area which included Safeway grocery store. The home made you feel as if you were in your own home.
