World Class Views: This is a dream getaway, offering breathtaking views, lots of sunlight, and comfortable space for family and friends to truly enjoy an escape to the Rocky Mountains!
Larimer County Registration ID: 20-NCD0322

Ground floor:

BEDROOM 1: Sunset Suite:
The ground floor provides a separate entrance, offering complete privacy in this newly remodeled sanctuary.You’ll enjoy a stunning king size bed, wood floors, and a new mini fridge with a freezer, microwave, and coffee maker.

Included is a new Spa-like bathroom with radiant floor heating, tile/glass walk in shower, and a spacious vanity. All bathrooms provide plush towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap and a hairdryer.

Main floor:
Looking out through the treetops, the rest of the home is on this level with 3 more bedrooms including a private master:


BEDROOM 2: Master:
This is a private master and the largest bedroom in the house with a new Serta Ultra Luxury King Sized bed, flat screen TV, and mountain loving décor. There is an attached master bath, double vanity, tub and shower, with another awesome view of the Notch and Kruger Rock from the window! Plenty of space to unpack and feel at home as you kick back in your own private haven within the Retreat.

BEDROOM 3: Fisherman’s Folly:
The third king sized bedroom with a huge walk in closet. This is Fisherman’s Folly, inspired by the work of our favorite Front Range artist, Barney Jensen, as he captures in watercolor, the solitude and bliss of fly-fishing our beloved Big-Thompson river!

Maybe you will be inspired to take advantage of the many fly-fishing tours in Estes (for at least a half day) or linger longer here in comfy linens. This room is highlighted by breathtaking views of Longs Peak, a perfect place to enjoy the night starlight.

BEDROOM 4: Nature’s Nest:
A room that boasts a comfortable queen, quaint seating area, and views among the treetops.
Observe nature, especially the Hummingbirds, Blue Jays or Nuthatch (they love the spruce out the window), in this cozy space, or pull down the blackout shades (in every bedroom) and ignore time as you take in the fresh mountain air.

These two bedrooms share a newly remodeled bathroom with radiant, tiled floor heat, a new tub and tile shower surround, cedar accents and plenty of space to hang up everyone’s towels.

Great Room:
The octagon shaped great room has several large picture windows looking to the rocks and nature that abounds outside; Deer (twin fawns last season), Elk, Cooper's hawks, and a family of chipmunks visit daily.

This unique design, will give everyone a place to gather and relax after a fun-fulfilled day of exploration. With over-sized leather chairs and couches, everyone will have a comfy spot to rest, soak in the ambiance from the remote controlled, gas fireplace, or simply enjoy a great view of the curved big screen TV(Netflix and DVD player) as the moss covered stone fireplace provides the perfect backdrop.


Fully Equipped Kitchen:
The large, well stocked kitchen has wonderful views from the windows and plenty of dishware and equipment to make any meal your family desires. We love to cook together, our daughter is the baker, so we have set up the kitchen with all of the gadgets and utensils needed to make any meal, or dessert!

For a special memory maker, there is a separate pancake griddle built into the counter. We have left all of the fixings for pancakes your first morning if you’d like!

Kitchen Amenities:
*Bosch Dishwasher
*LG Fridge with cold water and ice dispenser
*Electric oven/stove top
*Built in separate griddle
*Fully stocked with all pots, pans, utensils, baking and grilling supplies
*Enough coffee, pancake supplies, basic oil, spices, condiments to get you started!
*Weber gas grill on back patio

*There is a full sized Washer and Dryer, located on way to the Kitchen, with detergent, extra towels and linens.


Dining room:
The dining room is attached to the kitchen, so there is space to gather in conversation with the cooks.

This room hosts a special wine and coffee bar nook.
Nook amenities:
* Massive Breville Blender
* Coopers Cooler
* Cuisinart 12 cup coffee maker and French press
* Glasses and bar supplies for all needs

Bear’s Den, fun and outdoor space:
Just off of the octagon shaped family room and kitchen is a den with the sliding door to the back deck with our Weber gas grill. Our Bear’s den is the perfect spot if someone wants a quiet place to kick back and read, we have many books and games on the shelves, there is a desk if someone needs to get a little work done, (WIFI throughout home) or just a great place for a puzzle.
We have set up the garage with a full size air hockey and ping pong table.

You’ll see our hammock and realize you could steal away tomorrow for a short snooze in nature!

Lastly, there is a wraparound deck on the front of the house hosting the most spectacular views! We have chairs and a table so everyone can eat outdoors and enjoy the incredible views, looking out to the peaks!

**NOTE: Because we look out through the trees, there are stairs to get to the main level of the home.

We understand how important this time away can be, and we know that your experience at Estes Treetop Retreat will help enhance your memories of the top notch vacation you deserve!

Great House

Our family group of 7 stayed at the house over New Years and thoroughly enjoyed our time. We like to cook and the kitchen was well equipped and allowed us to make everything we planned. The beds were all comfortable and the bedrooms were spread out which gave everyone some privacy. We loved the octagon room with the fireplace for reading and talking. The boys all enjoyed the game room although given the time of year, it was a bit chilly. The owner was very welcoming and communicative regarding the process. Overall, I would highly recommend this property.

Thanksgiving family reunion

We had family join us at the Hummingbird Treehouse from all over the country. The house provided everything we needed for a very enjoyable and relaxing Thanksgiving week. The hosts were very accessible and answered all of our questions about the house, the area, and the Weather. We had a perfect vacation and we all agreed we would do it again next year.

The property was well maintained and provided all the comforts of home. We had a fabulous time.

Wonderful Home in the Mountains

This house is very clean and well equipped. The views are spectacular and the living room makes you feel like you are outside and experiencing nature. We saw numerous mule deer walking with a few feet of the family room windows. It is very conveniently located to downtown, the Rocky Mountain National Park, a golf course and shopping of all kinds. The photos don’t do it justice. I hope to be a repeat customer.

Great house for longer family stays

We were a whole family (8 people) in Estes Park for a week for a wedding and vacation. This is really perfect for a lot of people for a stay of more than a few days. It has plenty of room for everybody (sleeping space, living space and dining space). It is outside of the crowded central town (so it is very quiet), but still close enough that the grocery store is only 5-10 minutes away and the park entrances are not much farther. Everything was exactly as described, and Jim and Jen were easy to communicate with. We especially enjoyed: - The game room; garage with ping pong, pool, air hockey and foosball; lots of time was spent there. - The front deck; beautiful views of Longs Peak and Twin Sisters; lots of wildlife; a doe joined us one morning lying just below us - The BBQ grill - grilled almost every night - The air conditioning; although Estes Park is cool at night, the days can be quite warm, so it was great having central A/C (NOT noisy window units). Highly recommended if you want a roomy, comfortable, quiet stay.

Amazing Trip !!!

We were so comfortable in this home. Lots around to do and see, sure wish we had more vacation time. Property owners were so easy to communicate with. It was everything we wanted. Beds were super comfortable, kitchen was stocked well, wonderful room for everyone to stretch out in the octagon room and relax. And yes we played pool, which we haven't done in years :) With superb mountain views, as well as elk and deer right in the neighborhood- what more could we ask for. Amazing Trip !!!!!

Perfection in Estes

We visit Estes Park every 2 years with our kids and grandkids. This home was the best yet! There was plenty for the kids to do (pool, ping pong, air hockey or tons of games) when we weren’t hiking in RMNP. There was lots of room for everyone whether together or seeking some solitude for a bit apart. The kitchen was extremely well stocked making nightly cooking a breeze. The owners were informative and responded quickly to questions. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful with amazing views from anywhere in the house. We hope you return to this lovely home in our next visit to Colorado.

You Won’t Regret Staying Here

Our group of eight had a fabulous stay with Jennifer and Jim!! We were in town for a wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for more. We flew from 1500 miles away, and let me tell you— the house is STOCKED with everything (besides food). Everything from trash bags, toilet paper, pancake mix for the pancake griddle, dishwasher and laundry detergent was available. Having these items took away so much stress and worry about buying or bringing these items for a quick trip. The house itself was so clean, big enough for 8 people without feeling like you’re on top of each other, and had beautiful views off the front porch! The location was fabulous. Close enough to town (maybe a 5-10 minute drive), and had an abundance of wildlife (the deer there are SO friendly)! Overall, we would undoubtedly stay with them again. Thank you again for letting us stay in your lovely home!

Wonderful home with lots of amenities!!

The homeowners and the home are both incredible! HIGHLY recommend!! The location is great - neighborhood is quiet, not too far from the downtown area with a lot of restaurants and shopping and a perfect distance from the entrance to RMNP. We loved the area! So many things to do! The home itself was perfect and very very clean! They have everything provided that you will need! The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes/pots/pans as well as seasonings for cooking. They have paper products/garbage bags/dish soap/laundry soap - things you normally have to purchase when renting a home. It is incredibly organized!! One of my favorite things was the big window above the sink with the gorgeous view of the mountains. Another favorite spot was the octagon family room - so comfortable and the windows allow you to look out the back to see nature and some wildlife! Plenty of space for a family! They have a lot of fun games in the garage - we had the best time playing foosball, ping pong and air hockey with our teens. The homeowners have thought of everything - they even have extra winter coats available in the closet if you didn't have space to pack them. The homeowners did an excellent job of checking in with us but we had no issues at all with the home. They have an excellent binder filled with helpful information about the home and area. They were readily available by text for any questions. They were so kind and helped make our family vacation to Colorado a success!!

Amazing!

We had an amazing stay in the Hummingbird treehouse! The house was immaculate and stocked with everything we needed. There was plenty of room for our group. The guys loved the garage game room, especially the pool table. Sunday afternoon they kicked back and watched the Dallas Cowboys football game while we ladies went into Estes to spend their money (shop). Deck sitting is a must. Beds are great and I woke up a couple of times and could hear an owl hooting. The house and entire neighborhood was so peaceful and quiet day or night. The highlight of our trip was when one of our party was waiting for us after an outing. He was on his phone in his truck. He turned his head and next door on the neighbors deck was a bear. He did manage a couple of pics before the bear ran off. Then about 30 minutes later we left to go out again and my husband almost ran into a bear in the neighborhood. We think it was different bear after comparing pics. Jim and Jen are such gracious hosts. I could not say enough about the communication. They truly wanted us to enjoy their home and communicated over and above what was necessary. They supplied us with many helpful tips and very timely answered any questions.The welcome gift awaiting for us was such treat. We had a wonderful trip. The Hummigbird treehouse felt like home away from home. Jim and Jen are excellant hosts and so welcoming. We definitely will stay in the Humminbird treehouse on our next visit to Estes.

This is a perfect spot for a group visiting Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. It is very convenient to both, in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. There is room for guests to relax and spread out, to have privacy, to enjoy the beautiful views and wildlife, and to have fun together in game room.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Nickell

Host profile image
We LOVE the mountains and Estes Park. We looked at over 60 properties before we purchased this custom built home with "World Class Views". We hope you find your mountain get away in Estes as relaxing and fun as our family does.Everything is here for you to have a comfortable and memorable stay!

Why they chose this property

All of Estes has beautiful views, but when we saw the views from the deck, they took our breath away. Our home takes advantage of the best Estes has to offer. You will be only minutes to the center of town and a short drive to the Beaver Meadows entrance of the Rocky Mountain National Park!

What makes this property unique

Several trails are nearby, including the trail along Fish Creek, which can take you to Lake Estes. So many things to see and places to visit this is a great vacation location!
