License #: 3444 On the side of Old Man Mountain you will find the Eagles Nest Mountain Retreat. Rejuvenate your family in the crisp mountain air while overlooking the town of Estes Park below you on the wrap-around deck. Access to 16 acres of private land protected by a conservation easement allows for hiking, bouldering, and gaining the summit of Old Man Mountain for a beautiful view of the valley. 5 bedrooms two suites, loft and a bunk room with a total of 8 beds.
As you come up the driveway you will immediately notice the unique features of this property. Rock outcroppings dominate the landscape in all directions including a very large truck-sized boulder that dominates the opening scene. Behind the house the rocky mountain towers over the property several hundred feet up. The opposite direction provides views of the town in the valley below.
Walk in on the main floor to a cozy living room with a HD Smart TV. Off this living room is a bedroom with a queen bed and attached half bath/laundry combo. Upstairs is the main living room with another HD Smart TV, dining room, and kitchen. This level has a wrap-around deck and 4 large sliding glass doors that invite the indoors and outdoors to become one. Go up a half flight of stairs to the three bedrooms and bathrooms - 4 more steps lead to the loft with two queen beds and TV area. The three bedrooms consist of two suites with attached full bathrooms, and a third bedroom with a queen bed and twin over twin bunk bed. The Mountain. This property is part of a 16-acre conservation easement that includes a large portion of Old Man Mountain. The mountain is an icon in Estes Park - visible from most places in town. An easy hike to the top renders picturesque vistas in all directions. The easement protects the wildlife habitat and nature of this historic rock which goes back 5000 years when Native Americans used it as a "vision quest" site. This property allows its guests to get away yet still be so close to town. I don't know that there is another large chunk of land this close to downtown. This property is the last one on the street with a large buffer from everything else - yet you could walk downtown in 15 minutes and see Lake Estes from the deck.

Such a beautiful place in a beautiful setting. Plenty of parking for all vehicles. Plenty of space for people to spread out and great set up.
Would stay again for sure and recommend to others for sure.
We greatly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house in Estes Park. In addition to the great location, the house was the perfect size for our family with plenty of common area and private space. Recent upgrades to the sitting area and bathrooms are beautiful. The large kitchen was well stocked with pans and utensils and a nice outdoor grill was perfect for preparing family dinners to serve around the large dining room table. The view from the large deck was fantastic. We highly recommend this beautiful home for your vacation.
My family really enjoyed the property. We enjoyed the view and the access to nearby old man mountain. Location was close to town but yet far enough away you have some privacy. Overall the property was amazing
Great house walking distance to the main shopping district of Estes Park. Big open room for families to gather and lots of bedrooms/sleeping areas. We really enjoyed our stay and would rent again if/when we have another family occasion.
This house was amazing! The bedrooms and bathrooms are all new and beautifully done. Great location right next to downtown Estes. Beautiful views! The house was well stocked, we were left wanting nothing. The house app the owner created is very handy, making check in and out a breeze. Would book this property again.
Large, clean house perfect for family vacation. Even had a play area with toys for our 2 year old granddaughter. Excellent communication with property manager. I would definitely go back.
Location, location, location! The property is in the best area of Estes Park, with views, places to explore, and serenity of nature. We had teenagers and adults, ages 12 to 78, and it was enjoyed by all. Host was responsive to needs and easy to communicate with. We especially appreciated the multiple bathrooms, including next to the downstairs bedroom. Property is as pictured - the open living area is great for gathering. Added bonus - we were there over July 4th and watching the fireworks from the deck while avoiding all the traffic was fantastic!
All of us enjoyed our stay, the household amenities are well provided. Home is Clean and well cared. Dave is a great host and responded promptly to our queries.
we had a blast staying here. even being snowed in a day! used the sleds to go down the driveway, the fireplace was great, it was exactly as shown in pictures, plenty of room, all our needs met!
the views from just about every room in the house were just phenomenal!
The house was very peaceful and clean. We hiekd up the mountain behind the house and enjoyed seeing the wildlife around (elk, bobcat, etc.). The dogs loved all the space they had to run around inside. We would definitely stay again!
A group of friends and I had a wonderful time. Such a beautiful home, very clean! A bear did come by and thankfully while we were inside! Captured great video! Great memories were created!
The property was the perfect size and location for our stay-we also enjoyed seeing the wildlife around our house as well. Dave was very responsive and a great host!
We had a great stay at the Retreat on Old Man Mountain. He house was great. The views were spectacular. The house is perfect for a family get-together in the mountains.
We were in town for a horse show, very convenient to the fairgrounds, super quiet, amazing deck with beautiful views and comfortable home with well stocked kitchen. I would stay here again in a heart beat!
We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our three generation, family vacation.
The surroundings were absolutely beautiful. We saw a lot of wildlife which the grandchildren were excited about.
The location was perfect for making day trips to Rocky Mountain National Park as well as other points of interest.
A great VRBO for a family vacation. We have NO REGRETS.
