Great views and everything you need!

The "Dream Lake House" was absolutely wonderful! The views were incredible, it really felt like you were in the middle of nowhere yet it was only 5 minutes to town. We got to see deer walking through the property from the hot tub! The kitchen was loaded with anything you could possibly want, and the rest of the house had enough space and amenities for everyone. The kids particularly enjoyed the projector downstairs! The house was exactly as described and very easy to find. They even left the lights on for us when they found out we'd be arriving around sunset!

Fall at the cabin

We had a wonderful time at this cabin. The location was great. Morning coffee in the sunshine on the deck was a great way to start the day. Plenty of room for our extended family as we loved all being together.

Perfect family stay

The house was perfect for our family trip to the Rockies. My kids loved the games in the basement, the deck was lovely to sit on and have my coffee, the hot tub was a lifesaver after difficult hikes and the kitchen was perfectly equipped. I would stay again without reservation

Thanksgiving in Estes Park

We felt welcome walking into the house. Christmas tree up with lights on and Christmas music playing. Gary kept us supplied with firewood, which was wonderful with all the snow. I've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals, never have i seen so much supplied in the kitchen. We had a wonderful time and everything in the house was comfortable.

Exceeded Expectations

Our group of five coworkers stayed for a conference. The house itself is beautiful and true to the pictures. I don't think I have ever stayed in a VRBO that was so well equipped. Every pot and dish you could want, spices, lots of firewood, etc... It made cooking a pleasure. The house is just a few minutes away from downtown which made it convenient.

Better than expected

We had a great stay… Quite relaxing. The online pictures do not do this home justice. Spacious and comfortable for the nine adults and three children. The master bedroom has a wonderful view of the mountains and the valley. We had a beautiful snow which affected our departure and Gary was very accommodating… Hopefully, we will have opportunity to return again. Highly recommend.

Wonderful place for the whole family

We had a wonderful time at Gary’s house in Estes Park. This place was very comfortable for the entire family. We really appreciated the highchair, pack and play, and security gates for the stairs since we were traveling with a one year old. The host is extremely responsive. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed and more.highly recommend.

Family vacation

My husband and I and our 3 children and grandchildren stayed in this very well stocked and comfortable home. We had other family members staying in a nearby house. We enjoyed hiking in RMNP and visiting together in the evenings It was very easy to book this home and communication with the owner was seamless. We appreciated all the baby items provided so we didn’t have to bring them from home. We would consider staying here again!!

Great Vacation Home

We have stayed in this home twice in the past year. It fits our family perfectly. The house is so comfortable and homey with everything you need to fix family meals and is also the most stocked home I’ve ever stayed at. The location is also wonderful. You feel secluded yet you are close to town and the National Park. The host is also great to work with.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Peak

We live a little less than an hour away in Fort Collins.
We have vacationed all over and often rented homes to stay in, and those were our best vacation memories.

Why they chose this property

It's all about the view! This area of the Rockies is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and one of the few very beautiful locations that has year-round activities.
The location and convenience are a nice bonus, but the views were the main consideration in choosing this property.Every room, every window in this house has a great view. We looked for years at Estes Park and Grand lake for a second home that would be an investment and eventually a retirement home for us. We saw lots of properties with no nice view, or tiny windows, or neighbors too close,too small,or too 'inconvenient' to get to. This home is in a perfect, very quiet spot. Our neighbors are few, they are not close by, and do not spoil the view. Getting to the Park, the restaurants, and the shopping are easy from this location. On Summer weekends when the town is jammed with tourists, it is easy to bypass the traffic by using Peak View and Riverside drive.
We love to go hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, and access to the park is quick and easy from this location. The drive to the Park from our property does not go through town and traffic is never an issue even on Summer weekends.

What makes this property unique

We have gone a bit overboard with guest amenities.
No vacation home has more entertainment options. The home theater with video games and movies will occupy the kids down stairs while the adults enjoy the view and 50 inch plasma tv upstairs.
