The property exceeded our expectations. The house was beautiful and the view breathtaking. My personal favorite was the stars from the balcony at night.

Great spot and great house! We loved our stay at Elk Meadow Retreat in Estes Park, plus we had a full day of Elk and deer watching right outside the front door!

Fun family stay

We were a group of 9 (5 adults, 4 kids) and the house was perfect for us. Great views, wonderful playground, and lots of room for everyone. Our hosts were very responsive to our questions and needs. Would definitely stay here again!

Family Vacation enhanced by our Accomodations

Very quiet with beautiful views. Perfect spot for our family. Morning views of Longs Peak with the sun hitting it were stunning!We enjoyed the opportunity watch wildlife, Deer and Elk. It was great to feel we were out away from Estes Park and yet we were able to get to the amenities of the city in just minutes.We will look at staying here again next time we head to Estes.

WOW! What a beautiful, spacious home. We had an amazing weekend celebrating an early Christmas with our family. All you need to bring are clothes and food. The rest is taken care of.
It snowed all day Saturday. We stayed in and enjoyed each others company.

Great property with great views!

The house has an amazing open concept upstairs with enough room for the whole family to enjoy! Kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room stocked so if you forgot something, they had it! We were so happy with our experience here and highly recommend it! It’s just past Mary’s Lake, so close to town to enjoy activities,grab lunch, or enjoy shopping. But close enough to the mountains, we seen elk and mule deer daily! Most of the times in the yard or neighbors! Take a walk around Lake Estes, its beautiful!

Estes vacation 2025

The home and property were beautiful. We saw a lot of wildlife while sitting on the front deck. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and more. Our only complaints were the back deck and play area. The grass was knee high that you had to walk through to get to the play area, and some of the tree branches were way too low that you had to duck around in play area and on the deck. There were some sketchy area’s on the deck where boards were coming up. Very easy to trip on.

Estes vacation

The house we stayed in had amazing views..the best we’ve ever seen on our stays in Estes.. House was great except for not having a toilet seat in one of the bathrooms, and we could never get anyone to fix it. Very inconvenient! We contacted the owners and nothing was ever done. Very disappointing for such a beautiful home!

We're sorry we couldn't get the correct size seat while you were there; it was an odd size, and we couldn't order the correct size in time. The owners arrived after you and fixed it. Hope you come back and stay with us again.

We had a big multi-gen family stay at the house. It was so well equipped and the views were amazing. Everything we could want and more, from the playground and sandbox to all the conversation pits in the main room. It was awesome. Hope to come back one day

The property was superb, even better than the pictures described. Plenty of room for 10 with amazing views. The hot tub was so great after a day of hiking. I would rent this property again without any hesitation. You will not be disappointed!
