About this property

A Lodge Feel in a Beautiful Private Home - EP Reg#3041

Enjoy staying at this spacious custom home, plenty of room for your whole party to relax and spread out. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, three king-sized beds and one queen (all Purple mattresses), all very comfortable. The master bedroom has its own fireplace, tons of room, and a huge bathroom with tub and a multi-jet rain shower. Hopefully the pictures of this place do the talking (and the reviews), but this place will really make you feel at home in Estes Park.

Out of the way of the main town, you'll be a short drive to the parking garage and start of the riverwalk through downtown Estes. Both national park entrances, north and south, are accessible without having to drive through the town traffic, and you're surrounded by beautiful pine forests. Three different deck/patio areas to enjoy the beautiful and peaceful views, the master bedroom even has it's own deck to relax on.

We started listing this home in June of 2021, so please read our reviews to know what kind of hosts we are, but don't pay attention to the property details if it's before then, our new place is bigger and better! Two sets of washer/dryers, one in the master bedroom closet, one in the downstairs garage, a wine fridge in the kitchen, a sunny breakfast/game nook with a popcorn maker, lots to enjoy here. We even have four lifetime passes to the newly-opened Mustang Mountain Coaster that you're welcome to use.

My wife and I have been hosting VRBO properties since 2008, and we strive to think of everything you might want to make your stay as comfortable and problem-free as possible.

Lastly, we have a town restriction, due to the fact that we're in a residential area, of four cars in the driveway at any time. We have four garage spots, so you can have up to 8 cars if four are in the garages, but the town enforces there only being four cars visible at any time (including for events).

Wonderful wedding weekend

We rented this property to stay at during our Estes Park wedding. The owners were kind and very accommodating. The property is large with ample space for our friends to mingle and have their own space for rest. When in the bedrooms, it was very sound insulated. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

What an amazing property and Nick is an amazing host! It was the perfect place to host our welcoming BBQ for our wedding guests. Plus others family gatherings as well as a perfect place for the bridesmaids and our daughter to get hair and makeup done on the wedding day! Pictures do not do this home justice and Nick went above and beyond with quick responses answering any questions and suggestions. It was a dream wedding and a dream location. Thank you Nick!

Mountain get away!

We had a great Time! The house was everything we could have asked for! There were 5 adults (30-82) and our two grandchildren (1 and 2). We had ample room for everyone. The location was great! There was plenty of space, very user friendly TVs in every room and really, just about anything we could have asked for was provided; extra towels, cooking supplies, bath products, etc. We rarely needed anything! The garage made it really nice to load and unload the cars! We just loved it! We would definitely recommend it!

Four days stay for a wedding had our rehearsal dinner at the house

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The house was gorgeous. We had a few issues with cleanliness on our first evening, but the property manager was super helpful and super kind and helped us get through it very quickly and the rest of our stay was flawless. Everything you need to have a wonderful get together is at the house. The view is amazing. The area is amazing. I just can’t say enough about the house. Thank you so much for an amazing stay. The house helped to make my daughters and her fiancé’s wedding the most Memorable day of her life.

Great house

Our stay was fantastic, this house was sooooo furnished with items we usually go and purchase. When Nick said all you need to do is bring your food he was not exaggerating. He had coffee pods, ziploc bags, storage containers, foil, plastic wrap, seasonings, sanitizer sprays and wipes, lotion. Thanks again

Amazing beautiful comfortable home!

Nick was an amazing host and very prompt and clear with all instructions and how to access amenities. The house was beautiful, functional, and super comfortable with the Purple Mattresses in each room. The lay out of the house gives everyone privacy, and the communal spaces are large yet cozy and inviting at the same time. This was the perfect home for our family vacation.
