Great stay in a welcoming home!

We were very pleased with the location, beauty, and cleanliness of the cabin like home. The home was well stocked and had a rustic yet modern decor. The visiting deer family made it feel like we weren’t even in town. Thanks!

Great Veteran's Weekend get together

We loved this spacious home with 2 Bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a cozy living room to watch the CU Boulder football game with our son and his girlfriend; the kitchen was well-equipped with all we needed to make dinner together (seasonings and olive oil, pots, pans, etc.) The binder with all the information about the area was helpful too. We enjoyed a hike on Lumpy Mountain before the game, and a stroll around Estes Park before lunch. Beds are comfortable, gas fireplace was a nice feature in the evening. Our host was nice enough to offer a late check-out because no one was coming in after us, so we had time to hang out a little longer on Sunday morning (and threw in some towels and sheets in the washer). We would definitely return when staying in the area. One suggestion (coming from an east coast guest adjusting to the dry air), would be to have a couple of humidifiers available for the bedrooms in the winter. It took us a night to adjust. Also, note in the book about the thermostat and how to adjust the temperature so it sticks. I thought I set it at 60 degrees for sleeping and it was on all night at 69. Too hot for us. All in all, a wonderful stay. Loved it.

Weekend Stay

Enjoyed our stay. Home was clean, comfortable, and inviting. Did not realize that the home was a duplex but having two garages between homes made it seem totally private. Neighborhood is nice and really quiet. Never heard a sound. Host communication was great. Enjoyed our visit.

Very nice!

We absolutely, enjoyed our stay! The home is very clean, charming and equipped with "everything" imaginable! It's far enough away, to offer that quiet neighborhood feel, but conveniently located to downtown Estes, stores, the mountains, etc. Leah was also, very accommodating. We will definitely, be back!

Weekend Getaway

Weekend getaway in Estes Park and RMNP. The house was clean and as expected. Easy check-in. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the house and it was great for what we needed. House is About a 20-30 minute drive to RMNP which was perfect. We saw multiple elk between the short drive from downtown Estes to the property which was awesome. Thanks for the book of activities and food ideas!

About the host

Hosted by Leah Layton

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Charity.

After years spent traveling around the world and being welcomed into so many people's homes, I'm immensely excited to be able to welcome you into mine. I grew up in Wisconsin before coming out to school at the University of Colorado in Boulder where I studied International Affairs. I spent my summers working here in Estes Park - roaming in the mountains by day and waiting tables by night.

After college I spent nearly a decade working abroad - first for 4 years in East Africa on various humanitarian and development initiatives, and then in Afghanistan for 6 years, initially on humanitarian projects and later as a conflict analyst. When the pandemic struck, I was far too tired to ride it out in a war zone and decided it was time to head home.

I landed in Estes Park for what I thought would be a few months to get my feet under me again and figure out what was next, but life had other plans. I found unexpected roots in the incredible community and wondrous nature here, which helped my tired soul so burdened by the pain of war and human suffering find peace and a sense of hope and joy once again. I bought this home as a place where I could continue to rejuvenate my spirit, and with the intention that I could create a home to share that same peace with others.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property to be a place where I could find the quiet of the mountains, a slower pace of living in a small town, and a community that is authentic and simply loves to get outside and play. I wanted to live a simpler life. This little home has everything I need: a kitchen to cook and bake, views of the mountains, an extra room for guests, and an opportunity to share it with others while I'm away.

What makes this property unique

I'm an amateur woodworker in the making and many of the pieces around the house I've created myself. After seeing so much of the world's challenges, I find great joy in simply making something beautiful. From the decor to the location to the amenities like a full kitchen, I hope this will feel just like your own home away from home.
