Amazing house

The house was the perfect little space for our trip. It was very close to town which made for a great experience. The house was very clean upon arrival. They even had baby/ toddler items like a pack n play, stroller, highchair and baby gate. These items were very helpful for our family. I highly recommend this house

Magically Christmas Stay

My family and family friends stayed here for our Christmas vacation. It was amazing! The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed. It was a perfect location. We like to walk to places, mostly, and the cabin was just a couple minutes to the downtown shopping area. We loved every about it. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. We would stay here again. Highly recommended!

Cozy Cottage

This was an excellent property that met our needs for my husband and two 70+ year old relatives. One seventy year old with slight mobility issues was able to navigate the home without issues. The cottage had everything you could need, plenty of towels, kitchen well stocked, and great lighting throughout. Highly recommend this property.

Fantastic Stay

The location of the property was ideal to be close to town where we could walk everywhere near and we had access to both entrances of the park with ease. The house was very clean, had everything we needed, plenty of space, and was an overall comfortable stay and environment. I’d recommend the location to anyone and look to book again in the future if available!

August 2024 Stay

The property was excellent and had everything that we could have needed for a perfect stay. It is a great location that allowed us to walk to the downtown area during our stay. It provided a very relaxing environment to recharge after a day of hiking in the park. I would definitely recommend this to others and plan on staying here again on future trips!

About the host

Hosted by John and Susan Medina

Host profile image
We purchased this home in November 2015 and did a remodel to get into the short term rental market. We are Colorado natives and currently reside in Hygiene just down the hill from our Estes Park property. I've been going to Estes Park and RMNP for decades and never tire of it's beauty. You can explore endlessly and see new things every time.

Why they chose this property

I've always dreamed of owning a mountain property in beautiful Colorado. Estes Park is one of my most favorite mountain towns and it's so close to the urban corridor. Just a short drive to my home town of Boulder Colorado. It's also so close to my favorite mountain drive Trail Ridge road, which takes you to grand lake another stunning mountain town.

What makes this property unique

The Owls Nest has the best location in Estes Park. One can literally walk to dinner, festivals , and shopping. The views and wildlife are also amazing. After hiking one day I came home and had 8 deer inside my front picket fence. Just awesome. The elk meandering all through the neighborhood and Estes Park is also amazing. I never tire of watching them
