About this property

Huge Views, 15 Acre Private Estate, Wildlife, Multi-Family Cottage Near RMNP

Larimer County Approval number 20-NCD0182

We felt so fortunate to have this little piece of paradise that we decided to share with others. This charming cottage sleep 12 in beds and is one of three homes on the Estate at Fish Creek. All three properties together sleep nearly 42 people in beds, a wonderful opportunity for family get-togethers. We have built/remodeled/updated to melt rustic and luxury together while embracing quality craftsmanship. Our home 'Newly remodeled' is the perfect spot for your getaway! With 2 levels, there is plenty of space to be together, and plenty of space to have a little quiet time away from the rest. Check out the other 2 on VRBO #653697 and #573004

Main level, new kitchen with all the bells and whistles... large dining room table in the great room, two couches, one has a queen sofa bed with memory foam mattress, additional seating, game table and chairs, two queen bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms, and large windows with spectacular views of the snowcapped mountains and surrounding vistas...

The upper level has 2 queen bedrooms, one with a trundle bed, both have large windows for fabulous views. Also, a charming half bath with the best view in the house!

The location is close enough to Estes Park (a few minutes away) to enjoy it's mountain charm, and just a short walk to the 18 hole golf course, and yet far enough away to be a quiet refuge.

Our home (and everything in it) is top quality, clean, and comfortable! All the furnishings were purchased with quality and comfort in mind. All of the bed linens and towels are luxurious and top quality, All new Serta Presidential Suite mattresses. We have outfitted the kitchen with the best of everything - and everything we could think of...

'Vista View Cottage' feels secluded but is just minutes from everything you'd want to do. It is complete with WiFi internet, stack washer and dryer, beautifully decorated to create a cozy relaxing atmosphere, did I tell you about the fantastic views? ....and is ready for you and your family to enjoy time after time.

Ideal accommodation!

Very nice location close to the main shopping and restaurant areas of Estes. The house had everything you'd need from kitchen supplies, laundry detergent, to fans for some extra breeze if it was too warm...

We needed a big place to stay for our hiking trip. This place was great. It had everything we needed and was close to the location of our hike. Communication with Jodi was incredible the whole time. A deer even came right up to us when we were on the deck. Great property!

Fabulous quiet location with great views & wildlife only a few minutes from all Estes has to offer! In town was very busy so we loved coming here at the end of the day. Our group of 10 fit great here and shared the 2 main bathrooms on the first floor. The property was very clean. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location - could use some TLC

Great location with wonderful patio. Very comfy home. We have stayed here a few years ago. There are several small things that need updating or a little TLC (light bulbs needing to be replaced, primary bathroom door broken, paint touch ups and removing items that don't work or are broken) There is a hefty cleaning fee but guests

Perfect spot

The property was clean, close to town, yet private. We saw lots of wildlife close by. Plenty of sleeping space for everyone. Views were fantastic. We were there in late Sept and not having air conditioning was no issue. Amenities were great, except for the pillows ( maybe some new ones would be more comfortable) as well as check in. Thanks!

Nice Spot with Great Views

Nice property on the hillside with views of the surrounding mountains. Saw some deer around closeby a few times and a black bear up the hill a ways that we enjoyed watching as he traversed the clearing. Everything worked well for the group we had and had plenty of space for eating, playing, and gathering. It is secluded enough from other houses you feel you have good privacy.

Great spot out in nature.

Awesome little cabin out in a field surrounded by Elk our entire visit. Comfortable and spacious for a family of four and two adult friends. Everything was great, and only improvement would be better mattresses on the beds (not looking for luxe, but they were not comfortable).

Colorful Colorado

Awesome place to spend a vacation with family and friends. Great location and very scenic view of the mountains from the cottage and patio, downtown Estes was only minutes away as well as the entry to the Rocky Mountains. Plenty of wildlife around the cottage to include a lot of turkey, elk, mule deer and rabbits that would hang out around the house at times.

Wonderful winter retreat

This house was perfect for the 8 members of our adult family. It was spacious and clean and such a wonderful location. I can’t say enough great things about it. It was stocked and the host was very acccommodating. I would stay there again ! If you are there in the snow you must have 4 wheel drive.

About the host

Hosted by Jody Lockhart

Host profile image
My wife and I are from a warmer and more humid part of North America, our children are grown and we enjoy the flexibility of travel to a cooler climate. Estes Park is one of the best-kept secrets in the country. We feel so fortunate to have stumbled across this beautiful landscape!

Why they chose this property

We had traveled to beautiful Estes Park many times over the years, and decided it was time for us to own our own piece of paradise, we purchased our first property in 1980, since then when an adjacent parcel became available, we continued to add to our 'Little World'. We are so fortunate to have the benefits of tremendous views of the golf course, snowcapped mountains and overlook the peaceful waters of fish creek.

What makes this property unique

We felt so fortunate to have this little piece of paradise that we decided to share with others, The three properties together sleep nearly 42 people in beds, a wonderful opportunity for family get-togethers. We have built/remodeled/updated to melt rustic and luxury together while embracing quality craftsmanship.
