Tucked away in the aspens, the Lazy Elk Retreat provides for the ultimate mountain getaway. With the snowy peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park as a backdrop, this charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers the best in high altitude living. The Spirit of this home invites you to experience its fusion of the rustic and traditional, with all of the modern conveniences. As you walk down the path to the cabin, you will feel at home right away with the first of 3 patios for hanging out in the mountain air.

From the moment you step in the door, you will love the Lazy Elk's bold rugged charm and its open concept great room, dining area and large kitchen. The western-influenced great room features a gas fireplace, gorgeous hardwood floors, large light-filled windows, and beamed vaulted ceilings. You will want to sink into the delightful mountain chic furnishings, put your feet up and enjoy the large flat screen TV (w/ DVD player) set for streaming only. The sofa is a Queen sleeper sofa. This is a great cabin for family or friends to kick back, relax and enjoy a Rocky Mountain escape!

Enjoy homecooked meals at the rustic dining table. A sliding glass door leads to the second patio where you can sit and listen to the summer breezes rustling through the aspen leaves. Or watch the snowflakes fall during the winter evenings while you dine.

The kitchen is extra spacious and offers touches of vintage decor throughout. You will appreciate the modern stainless steel appliances including double ovens. Dishes, cookware and convenient small appliances complete this nature-infused vacation home. With the open design, there is plenty of room for everyone to hang around the kitchen to share food and good times. At the end of the kitchen is a breakfast bar for 2. Perfect for morning coffee and watching the wildlife wander through the yard - especially the wild turkeys known to the neighborhood! You'll love the surrounding aspen grove as you relax or dine outside at the patio table and chairs. A grill is provided for those summer BBQs.

Just off the kitchen, a bathroom with a granite-topped vanity and shower shares space with a full-size washer/dryer for doing a bit of laundry during your stay. The beautiful hardwood floors continue throughout the open hallway and the three bedrooms.

The first bedroom features a Queen bed and a lofty shelf with whimsical vintage decor. The spacious second bedroom features a King bed and a convenient chest of drawers for unpacking. A sliding glass door opens from this bedroom to a long covered patio, perfect for summer hangouts. The playful third bedroom features a daybed with a trundle that can sleep 2. The second bathroom offers a shower/tub combo and hickory cabinetry topped with a granite counter-top. The bedrooms can be chilly, but space heaters and electric blankets are available.

The home is less than 2 miles (5 minutes) from Rocky Mountain National Park's South Entrance, and 2 miles to Estes Park. The Lazy Elk Retreat is the perfect Rocky Mountain getaway! Book it now to get the best dates whether you want a winter escape or a summer adventure!

Family retreat
Everything you need. Some of the furniture vintage but in good condition. Beds were newer and very comfortable. Location was terrific…about a 5 minute car ride into town. Met neighbors and they were nice folks. Saw deer and rabbits.

Cozy and convenient
This house is very close to Rocky Mountain national park entrance. Very convenient to restaurants and grocery stores. Friendly neighborhood with wild animal's visit. Cute deer showed up in front of living room window to say hi with. Kids enjoined the place and we are very happy with the stays. The only complain is the ground daybed mattress (it is broken).

Location is excellent!
Very nice cabin. Very close to east entrance, just 5 minutes away. Nice amenities, nice wood fireplace (w/provided wood), outside grill (itself was very clean, some rental grills are not that way). Family room had a very large TV, WiFi worked well with 5+ devices. Mattresses were very comfortable. I thought the small electric water heater would be a problem, however it kept up with the whole family in terms of showers after a long hike and using the washer/dryer. The secondary bathroom's shower is very small, however the primary shower was more than adequate. The only thing I would say was a disappointment was the kitchen. The photos show a very large kitchen (and it is), however the secondary oven doesn't function, cabinets needed repair, and the kitchen itself was not really well stocked (could use newer pots/pans/equipment). Primary oven worked so it didn't affect our stay. Everyday there was wildlife (mostly deer) walking across the property. Overall an excellent stay and location cannot be beat

Proud Father of the Bride

Amazing Stay
The cabin was amazing. Extremely clean. Rooms were great size. Easy to find in the middle of everything but far enough away to be private. My daughter got married close to the cabin and the stay was great. Family from NY stayed with us and the 20+ elk hanging out on the lawn was amazing. My daughter had a great wedding and the stay was effortless. I appreciated the communication with everyone involved with my stay. Thank you so much!

Beautiful home, Very Comfortable
The pictures of this home are very accurate. The inside was clean, and very nicely decorated. The king bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. We were very pleased with our stay! The outside of the home and the neighborhood did not have great visual appeal, but the inside and the convenient location definitely made up for it.

Christmas holiday
We stayed for Christmas and loved the cabin. The photos make it appear more secluded so we were surprised to be in a thickly settled neighborhood but with the Elk and Mule deer walking through the yard, we couldn’t have been more happy. It was also nice to be so close to town. The hot water tap was my favorite feature and want to have one at home now. I would recommend.

Home off the beaten path
We enjoyed our 3 night stay. Home was as advertised and we slept well. This home was very clean and has nice comfortable furnishings As previously mentioned there is a short bit of road that is pretty rough but this should not pose a problem for any vehicle. Customer service was responsive when we contacted them. We really liked the location as you were away from the hustle and bustle of Estes Park and yet minutes to access anything you may need. If we were to return to the area we would love to stay here again.

My family and I stayed at this house for our vacation. We loved it! The house was clean and so cozy and beautiful! So many details thought out in the house to make it such a comfortable stay! It is in a great location, just minutes from town and from Rocky Mountain Park. We saw a bunch of elk in the yard everyday. The property manager was so helpful and accommodation!
