Modern Mountain Family Home with Elk Views, Style, and Space to Breathe

Welcome to our family’s home-away-from-everything. We built this place as a retreat—one that balances beauty and function, calm and play, space and connection. It’s where we go to slow down, hear the wind in the pines, and remember what matters. We’re thrilled to open it up and let others experience the magic of Estes Park from this exact spot.

From the deck, you can see the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and—if you're lucky—elk, deer, or even the occasional fox passing through the yard. These sightings happen almost daily. Mornings here start with coffee and birdsong. Evenings end with laughter on the deck, grilled dinners, or stargazing in the crisp mountain air.

Inside, the home is anything but your typical mountain rental.

We skipped the log cabin clichés and leaned into clean lines and thoughtful design—drawing inspiration from Japanese simplicity and Scandinavian warmth. Hygge if you will. :)

The space is open, airy, and full of natural light.

Windows everywhere.

Breezeways you’ll want to walk through barefoot.

A sense of ease built into every room.

*Built for Families*
We’re a family of five, and we designed this space with kids in mind—from our own experience traveling.

There’s a large playroom in the basement that once had a climbing wall, tunnels, and a ball pit (note: the climbing wall will be removed, and the walls repainted to a neutral tone—updated photos coming soon).

Outside, there’s a fenced-in yard for dogs and kids to roam freely, and a playset under the trees where our girls have spent hours.

*Dog-Friendly*
We welcome well-behaved pups.

The fenced backyard makes things easy, and there are plenty of trails nearby for walk-and-sniff adventures.

*Local Flavor, Minutes Away*
This home is perfectly located—quiet and tucked away, but just minutes from Estes Park’s best spots.

Bird’s Nest Coffee is a short walk or drive away for a perfect latte.

Bird & Jim and The Rock Inn are two of our go-to restaurants—great food, great atmosphere, and exactly what you want after a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, which is just up the road.

Country Market (grocery store) accross the street from Bird's Nest.

*What You'll Love About the Area*
Estes Park has something for everyone.

Wildlife watching. Hiking trails for all skill levels.

Fly fishing.

Paddleboarding.

Cozy bookstores.

Summer festivals.

Live music.

Winter snowshoeing.

We’re close enough to town for groceries, coffee, and souvenirs—but far enough to feel like you’re truly in the mountains.

*Other Things to Know*
Noise quiet hours begin at 8 PM to respect the peaceful surroundings.

Our split-level layout means there are stairs and changes in level—it’s not ideal for guests with limited mobility.

Climbing wall shown in some pictures will be removed, and walls will be freshly painted to a neutral tone. The playroom remains fun, open, and kid-ready.

*FAQs*
Q: Is this home good for working remotely?
A: Absolutely. We’ve hosted professionals who worked full days here with no issues.

We have 1GB high-speed internet, strong mesh coverage in every room, and plenty of natural light and quiet nooks to set up with a laptop.

Q: Is the driveway steep or hard to access in winter?
A: Not at all.

The driveway is flat and easily accessible year-round, even when it snows.

No 4WD required, but always check local forecasts during winter months. Snow off and on January-April.

Thanks so much!

We hope our home gives you the same peace, inspiration, and joy it gives us.

Come for the elk and the hikes—but stay for the stillness, the sunrises, and the sense that maybe... life doesn’t have to move quite so fast.
