About this property

Walk to RMNP, hot tub, mountain views and river access.

We are delighted you are considering staying at Aspen Brook Retreat (permit # 21-ZONE3144). It is the perfect getaway located in a neighborhood waiting to accommodate visitors to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountains. Our newly remodeled 4 bedroom home has Mountain View’s and is located within a few yards of the Little Thompson River.
The living room has plenty of seating, a tv and a fireplace to relax in after a long day of hiking. The entertainment room has a large screen TV, game table, foosball table, games, puzzles and books. For the little one, a separate playroom has a play kitchen set, toddler basketball hoop, toys, games, books and a table. Nestled between the bunk beds is a tepee for the kids to escape and use their creativity.
The kitchen is well appointed with everything needed to cook and serve a nice meal including a full set of pots and pans, waffle maker, crockpot, toaster, a coffee station that includes a coffee maker and Keurig.
With two decks there is plenty of space to sit and watch the abundant wildlife, relax in the spacious hot tub and star gaze, lay in the hammock with a cold drink listening to the river or enjoy a BBQ at the picnic table.
The family friendly neighborhood has a newly installed playground and room to set up a favorite yard game. The 1/4 mile of river access owned by the HOA has benches to sit and enjoy the river, fish, or use one of the several picnic tables nestled among the pine trees to enjoy a meal.
You can take a 10 minute walk into Rocky Mountain National Park or drive in with the park entrance just a couple miles away. Downtown shopping, eating, entertainment and amusement are also just a couple miles away.
To help make everyone’s visit most enjoyable the HOA does not allow smoking anywhere in the neighborhood (and may impose a fee that would be passed on to our guests), and does not allow motorcycles, RVs or tents. Quiet hours are from 9:30 pm to 8 am and we ask that noise be kept to a minimum during these times to respect the neighbors, especially when using the hot tub.
We look forward to accommodating your needs as you visit and enjoy our beautiful area.

Great house!

Perfect house at the base of RMNP! So much to do and see in the area. House very comfortably sleeps 3 couples with nice king size beds. Basement would be the perfect set up for children with 2 sets of bunks and tv in separate space. House well equipped with kitchen serve ware and cookware. Owners very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to all our messages. I would highly recommend this home if visiting the area. Good sized hot tub available but we just didn’t have the time to use - we were just so busy exploring the beautiful national park.

Wonderful relaxing stay in a newly updated home

We were very impressed with our stay at this home. Everything was accurately described in the listing and it was tastefully recently remodeled. We had everything we needed for 8 people to stay comfortably and the communication with the owner was excellent-prompt and responsive. Location was highly convenient and the sound of the river nearby very soothing. Would highly recommend this home.

Great family get away

This place had it all as far as amenities in the house and it’s proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park. It is only a quick drive into Estes Park downtown! It had a cabin feel with conveniences near-by! As an extra bonus, it was really accommodating for toddlers as well as the teens! It can be hard to meet that age span but this property did it well!! We highly recommend!

Wonderful property!

Spent a relaxing, 10-night stay at this property. Couldn't have been more perfect. Great areas for family to gather. Used the downstairs "game room" as a quilting studio for my wife. Snowed in (12 inches) for 2 of our days, and it was tremendously relaxing! High-speed internet, and plenty of games and books to stay busy. Highly, highly recommend.

Estes Experience

We had 2 families of 5 spending 3 days in Estes. This was a great location for us to do everything on our Estes list. RMNP, fun city. Mountain coaster, dinner and shops. The noise of the nearby river made it very relaxing to hang out on the deck. Owners were great with communication and provided fun treats for movie and game nights. Would highly recommend.

Great Stay for Family of all ages

Great location between RMNP and downtown Estes. Home was recently updated. Hosts were quick to respond to communication. The beds were comfortable! The huge kitchen table accommodated our family nicely. Hosts also thought of everything for young families, from high chair, booster seat, dishes, step stools, toys, and several pack n plays. The kitchen was stocked well with everything we needed to prepare meals during our stay. Everything was top notch when it came to little things the hosts have thought of including board games, ping pong, basketball, etc. They even came to clean the hot tub during our stay knowing there were several of us and it was used and enjoyed! Would highly recommend this place for a family stay!!

Perfect Estes Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay from the first moment stepped in the beautiful home! Mark and Laura were very helpful and accommodating! They really thought of everything! The kitchen was well stocked with quality dishes, flatware, appliances, etc. Notes to help you know where everything was located. Plenty of baby items for our littlest one and tons of toys for our toddlers! If you have kids don't worry about bringing any toys. They have a great variety! They even provided thick mattress pads for the pack & plays. Washer and dryer were so appreciated. Beds all very comfortable. Plenty of closet space in every room! All bathrooms very nice. Good water pressure in the showers. Playground area was a daily favorite. We also loved the river being just across the street. Easy access to town and RMNP! We enjoyed seeing a passing bear one morning and the herd of elk grazing in the front yard! We ate several meals on the front porch. The kids loved sitting at their very own little picnic table. The hot tub was amazing! Can't say enough good about Mark and Laura and their vacation home! Wonderful experience!

Wonderful family Christmas

We took our family for Christmas and had the best time! Upon arrival to Aspen Brook, Laura had the house decorated for Christmas! It was beautiful! She also had special gifts under the tree for the kids and a basket of treats for everyone. The house was just perfect! Worked great for our family of 9! Comfy beds, nice bathrooms, and a fully stocked kitchen! We also enjoyed the hot tub and the game room! The house was close to the YMCA, which was nice and only a few minutes from downtown Estes Park! We would definitely go back! Thank you Laura for your hospitality and for all the extras!

Will do this again!

This entire home was beautifully remodeled and felt new, fresh, and clean. It was well/suited for adults and children alike. The basement area was comfortable and fun for our grandchildren, ages 5,3, and 1. Plenty of clean, fun, and stimulating age -appropriate toys and books, all of which were well-maintained, if not new. There was also a food ball and tv room in the lower level, and then on the main level there was a basketball goal and pingpong table—so much to interest our 5 yo and all the adults! The kitchen was well appointed. There were plenty of bathrooms for our 5 adults and 3 children. We enjoyed a creekside picnic at a shady picnic table in the neighborhood park, and the private neighborhood playground was perfect. The location to town and to RMNP was very convenient. We enjoyed sitting out on the patios gazing at the stars. Our last day a huge elk buck walked right down the street! We loved these hosts, our house, and it’s location.

The location is just a short 5 minute drive to the park. It is so close to the Big Thompson river. The kids had a blast playing in the water. The beds were very heavenly.

About the host

Hosted by Laura & Mark Richins

Host profile image
Hi! We are Mark and Laura and love an adventure. As a family with four grown children, we love the outdoors and hiking, kayaking, backpacking and camping. We find joy in spending time with our growing family. We also like to get away and spend time together exploring our amazing world and the beauty that surrounds us. Our love for adventure is what brought us to the mountains to find a home that we could enjoy and share with others.

Why they chose this property

We love this home as it is located close to Rocky Mountain National Park with a trail close by that can be hiked right into the park. The river access is perfect for fishermen or to sit and listen to the rush of the river. A new neighborhood playground is great for the children and adults to visit and watch.

What makes this property unique

Located in an accommodation zoned HOA, the neighborhood is set up to accommodate visitors with a large playground, river access with river seating and picnic tables and a garbage disposal facility.
