About this property

Bordering RMNP! Big Views, Secluded, 6 Acres with Mountain Stream

Short term rental License Number: 22-ZONE3261
Remodeled with new beds, furniture, kitchen and bathrooms!

Whispering Pines Chalet is the perfect family and hikers vacation destination. We border Rocky Mountain National Park on 6 acres just off Highway 7, and 15 minutes south of Estes Park. This home is very quiet and surrounded by forest and beautiful rock formations. Overlooking the Tahosa Valley, with no neighbors in sight, you can hike, enjoy the wrap-around deck, wander down to the stream on our property or just relax in the house, reading a book, playing games or watching TV. The WiFi allows for receiving WiFi enabled phone calls, plus we have a land line phone for guest use.

We have 2 flat screen 40 inch TVs: upstairs is a Roku TDL TV, and downstairs is a Samsung TV with a Roku stick.

Want to enjoy the mountains, but not be “stuck” in the mountains? Whispering Pines Chalet is perfect. Secluded, it is also only 8 miles from downtown Estes Park where dining, shopping, entertainment and all kinds of activities are available. If you haven’t visited Estes Park before, you will love it. We enjoy many mountain dining choices when we visit.

Do you prefer to hike, fish, golf or even horseback ride? All these activities are available nearby. We are less than 200 yards from the new Storm Mountain Trail which connects to Estes Cone, Eugenia Mine and the famous Longs Peak Trail!

We love the drive down Highway 7 to the tiny hamlet of Allenspark, about 15 minutes to the south. We are close to Estes' pioneer and Park advocate Enos Mill's cabin off Highway 7 and private tours can be arranged. Also in Estes and Allenspark you can visit local art and craft shops. We are near the Longs Peak Trailhead and the wonderful Wild Basin hiking areas.

The best aspect of Whispering Pines Chalet is how it makes you feel - refreshed, renewed and invigorated with the big views of the wilderness areas that surround us. We especially see birds in the forests around us, and hummingbirds enjoy coming around in the morning.

And when you do choose to be at home in our cabin, we provide all the essential comforts that you will need. Relax by the indoor fireplace, watch TV, play games in the dining room or take an inviting nap in one of the comfortable beds that await you. Want to enjoy a home- cooked meal? Our kitchen is ready for you, unless you would prefer to eat on the deck and enjoy the mountain scenery.

We love our home. We know you will too. We hope you will come and visit us during your next stay in the Estes Park area.

IMPORTANT NOTE DURING SNOW: This facility is available year-round subject to weather, however if snowy conditions exist, a 4 wheel drive or all wheel vehicle IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

One security camera is facing the garage entrance and parking area.

One flight of stairs is required to access the main level of the home (kitchen and two king bedrooms). The basement is at ground level.

No Parties. No outdoor events. Must be 25 years old to book.

RMNP Family Getaway

Beautiful and convenient location- scenic, nice hiking paths; beautiful grounds; close to RMNP and Estes Park; Well-stocked kitchen and nice appliances; Great laundry facilities; Spacious for family groups; Nice bathrooms/showers; Nice deck and wrap-around porch. Was clean in main areas, but is in need of a deep cleaning- dust on walls and behind beds; drawers could be wiped out; comforters could be freshened; kitchen towels were musty and had to be re-washed before use. Also in need of some basic repairs- patio screen door sticks, handle on window comes off and some windows don’t open, but overall it was very nice. I would still recommend. It was a great spot for my husband and myself- early 60’s and our 3 children in their mid-twenties.

Whispering Pines House

We had the best family vacation and it was even more enjoyable because of this beautiful home. It was very comfortable and spacious, had everything we needed and we couldn’t get enough of the amazing views. We enjoyed many hikes right from the property. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful!

We loved our stay here. The location is great, being close to Estes Park but far enough out to be away from the craziness there during the summer. My teens absolutely loved the property with the rocks to climb and the creek to explore. The house itself was perfect. It is clean, well stocked and has amazing views. The kids appreciated having a separate space in the basement and we enjoyed the quiet of having the upstairs and the views to ourselves! We will definitely stay here again!

Great for Families Vacationing Together

Absolutely beautiful property and views with access to trails, try the Eugenia Trail! Property owner has everything you need to cook and stay. Often had breakfast and dinner at the house. Really appreciated the grill. We had two families staying together for a total of eight. The kids and teenager could sleep downstairs, while the adults had the upstairs. Easy access to downtown Estes Park and RMNP.

One of the best

What a beautiful property! We have stayed at several abnb properties and this was the best. The owner communicates almost immediately if you have questions. The placed was stocked with so many items it felt like home! The plus?? They had a guitar to use and our kids loved it (so did my hubby). This property was close to many things as well. We rarely turned on the TV as there was so much to do just around the property alone! Highly recommend this property.

Great location and property

My extended family and I loved the wrap around upper deck, the views, and the location. Our favorite nearby activity was morning and evening walks at Lily Lake- so picturesque! We had young kids and the living spaces upstairs and downstairs, along with all the rocks outside, gave them room to play. Overall, very happy with our stay at Whispering Pines!

Family Getaway in the Mountains

Perfect location. Spectacular views from the wrap around balcony and large windows: Long’s Peak, Estes Cone, Mt Meeker, Twin Sisters. The rock formations surrounding this mt home are easy to climb. Very comfortable home with a well-stocked kitchen. Easy access to Estes Cone trail. The Tahosa Creek area is a favorite of our family. We had fun playing games but we also had a couple times with Netflix when exhausted from hiking. Chipmunks, elk and deer.

Everything we asked for and more!

We stayed at Whispering Pines Mountain Hideaway the week of Christmas 2020 with our adult kids. Let me say this, we honestly couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and Ann, the owner, was an absolute blessing! The home was clean and had everything we needed to cook meals and live there with 10 people for 6 days. The views from the home are absolutely beautiful and the property is very serene. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a quiet getaway in the mountains!

Amazing rental, can not wait to go back!

We had an amazing stay and Ann, the owner was the best. We had a snow storm come through the first night and it knocked some trees down and blocked the road. Ann called the snow plow right away and and the within a couple of hours he had plowed the snow and removed the trees. The property is absolutely beautiful and the house had everything we needed. We spent many hours by the comfy fireplace after exploring the property. I will definitely come here again!

Absolutely perfect house for us to stay for our elopement wedding in RMNP. Very secluded location yet an easy and scenic drive to Estes Park. House had everything we needed for the two of us but would easily accommodate larger families. The exploration opportunities around the house are endless. Very very clean house and well maintained.
