Even More Beautiful Than the Pictures
This home was absolutely perfect for our family gathering over spring break. There were a total of six adults, one teen, one three year old and one infant and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. We chose this home for the gorgeous setting, but also for the one level layout as we have a child with special needs. It was wonderful. The location is just minutes from the national park and also from the downtown area. So many local restaurants to choose from with several breweries too. Communication with owner Jane was super easy...she responded within minutes when I needed to message or call her with a question. This was the best stocked home we have ever rented through VRBO. Plenty of pots and pans, silverware, glasses, pillows and extra blankets. Lastly, the beds were awesome. I highly recommend this home to anyone seeking a beautiful getaway in Estes Park.

The great 2024 Colorado blizzard!
After finally getting a flight out of San Antonio, we were of to Estes Park. Just so happened for our trip to Estes, the had received mor snow than the last few years. It was a white knuckle ride up the mountain. But onece we made it to Estes all was good. We arrived the the house to I bet 3 feet of snow. Our host Jane kept in contact with us tell we made it to the houses. Not much to do in Estes with the amount of snow they had received. Parks closed trails closed. But we had an amazing time with the family playing in the snow, making smores, and enjoying the wildlife. The driveway and road to the house was plowed an maintained to allow access in and out. Just some great family time, im sure we will be back to roll the dice on the weather. Everything was fantastic and did i tell you our host Jane was a Rockstars. Don't miss your chance to enjoy the ho.e for you trip to Estes Park. Definitely a 5 🌟 property!

Perfect for visiting RMNP
I stayed with a group of friends/colleagues on a snowshoeing trip. We all had plenty of room and comfortable places for hanging out together. The property is super close to the National Park entrance and convenient to shops/restaurants. Communication with Jane about check-in, etc was clear and easy. Would choose to stay here again!

I consider myself to be very blessed and fortunate to live in a country where we can enjoy our freedoms. I find the world and people fascinating and relish the time I can spend traveling and exploring.. I love to travel, experience the world and spend time outdoors.

Why they chose this property

I worked at the YMCA of the Rockies one summer while in college and I almost stayed rather than going back to college. Rocky Mountain National Park has some of the best hiking in the world. Being by the water and soaking up the outdoors while listening to the soothing sounds of the river and taking in the spectacular rocky mountains is a wonderful feeling. The energy around our home and along the river is awesome and being so close to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park is wonderful.

What makes this property unique

We are 1.5 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park and less than that to a grocery store and shopping. Relax by the river while reading a good book and being mesmerized by the spectacular beauty of the mountains and the sounds of the river. Sit on the river patio while fishing to your heart's content. Soak in the hot tub after hiking or snowshoeing while watching and listening to the river. Enjoy a soothing, peaceful steam shower anytime you desire. Relax with your morning cup of coffee on the patio taking in all the beauty. Enjoy a glass of wine on the deck as the sun sets behind the mountains while cooking those fresh caught fish on the grill.
