We have named our mountain house 'Dream Lake' after one of our favorite hiking trail stops. Hiking trails in Rocky Mountain National Park to Emerald Lake and Lake Haiyaha take us past Dream Lake.

Fantastic stay

This place has it all. Gary is a fantastic host and always available for questions or concerns. Location is fantastic for Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes. Entertainment center set-up is insane. My family loves this place and we hope to be back. Gary is always available but I think the best thing I can say is that we didn’t need him because everything you need is already there with excellent instructions. Can’t recommend any higher.

Fall at the cabin

We had a wonderful time at this cabin. The location was great. Morning coffee in the sunshine on the deck was a great way to start the day. Plenty of room for our extended family as we loved all being together.

Perfect family stay

The house was perfect for our family trip to the Rockies. My kids loved the games in the basement, the deck was lovely to sit on and have my coffee, the hot tub was a lifesaver after difficult hikes and the kitchen was perfectly equipped. I would stay again without reservation

Great place to be in Estes...in the snow!

This place was cozy, well-appointed, and a perfect place to watch the snow, hang out, cook and enjoy the area. We saw deer several times, enjoyed the hot tub, and ventured out into Rocky Mountain National Park a couple of times!

Great views and everything you need!

The "Dream Lake House" was absolutely wonderful! The views were incredible, it really felt like you were in the middle of nowhere yet it was only 5 minutes to town. We got to see deer walking through the property from the hot tub! The kitchen was loaded with anything you could possibly want, and the rest of the house had enough space and amenities for everyone. The kids particularly enjoyed the projector downstairs! The house was exactly as described and very easy to find. They even left the lights on for us when they found out we'd be arriving around sunset!
