This family-friendly has it all for you to experience the Rocky Mountains like never before without giving up comfort and class. Inside, you'll be greeted by cathedral-like ceilings with enormous windows allowing the views of the mountains and wildlife to permeate this home. The large family room with sun galore boasts one sofa, one recliner, one oversized rocker, and one overstuffed chair with ottoman, which are the epitome of relaxation and comfort. The wood-burning fireplace is in charge to keep everybody warm during your stay and the flatscreen TV will keep everyone entertained no matter what. Just off the living room is the formal dining room with a rustic table for eight. A wood-burning fireplace right next to the dining table will add warmth during your dinners. The fully-equipped kitchen has every item that you need to create wonderful meals including a Keurig coffee maker with an adapter for regular coffee. Challenge your friends to a ping-pong tournament using the ping-pong table available in the garage; all you have to do is unfold it to play. Outside, the large deck offers plenty of seating to chill and relax, a picnic table and benches,a round rod iron table with four chairs, a gas grill, and your very own private hot tub. From here you can view the lake, the Town of Estes Park and Prospect Mountain. And that's not it! This charming mountain getaway allows dogs, so don't hesitate to bring the family dog with you.

What's nearby:
Sitting at 7,522 feet above sea level, this town is a favorite Colorado getaway due to its proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park (you'll be only six and a half miles away), landmarks such as the historic Stanley Hotel, and a variety of galleries and family-friendly museums that are well worth a visit. Less than one mile away is the Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course and if you or anyone in your group are golf enthusiasts, you'll be thrilled to know that this house offers two sets of basic golf clubs available for renters to use. This includes two bags and golf balls all located in the garage. If you're more of an outdoor person, the Lake Estes Marina is a short three-mile drive where you can find boat rentals, including kayaks and canoes and fishing, paddle, and pontoon boats. It's the perfect place to visit with your family, especially if during summer.

Our stay was good, my only complaint was the hot tub did not have enough water to turn on jets so we didn’t get to use it. That was disappointing.

Wonderful all around.
This was a trip for grandma, grandpa, aunt, mom, dad , a 3 year old and a 1 year old! Everything was amazing. We had more than enough space, the kitchen was well stocked, there were toys, books, baby gates etc and everything was cozy and comfy. My only complaints were that the 1 year old found anything and everything to get into and I couldn’t find any throw blankets and it was a bit chilly! Other than that this place is AMAZING!

Great family getaway!
We spent a windy and chilly long weekend celebrating my daughter’s birthday at this property. The house was perfect for this. Plenty of rooms. Quiet neighborhood. Great space for cooking together and playing games with nice views. Lots of turkeys and a few deer came to visit. Hot tub was a wonderful plus. We would love to come back.

Beautiful & relaxing home
Large property, as described. Had everything we needed in the kitchen & bathrooms. Games, movies, books, ping pong. View was very nice. Hot tub was great. Location is a few minutes from the main area of town, but feels quite. However, there are other houses closer than I thought based on pics. We werent sure which way to open the flue, so that information wouldve been nice. Thank you!

Great get away
We just finished a five night stay at this property and enjoyed every minute. We found the house to be relaxing with a door to the hot tub right off the master bath. Listening to the wild life in the mornings was very relaxing. The view from the deck is amazing and we had a few deer right outside the house on a few days. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need and there is also a ping pong table in the garage! Fun place! Thanks for the hospitality.

My husband, dog, and I came to Estes Park to celebrate our honeymoon. We felt comfortable as soon as we walked in. There were so many amenities provided. This is one of the best rentals we’ve stayed in. Thank you to the owners for sharing their beautiful, cozy home with us. We’ll be back again!

The location and view alone were worth it. Had life allowed, I would have been happy to stay more days. The property is kid centric which made it extremely easy for our first trip with our toddler. Plenty of activities and close to town for any necessary items.

Estes Park Stay
We had a fantastic time in Estes Park! This is a huge house, just a few minutes drive to down town and a few more to Rocky Mountain NP. Our family of 5 had room to spread out and we enjoyed making meals in the large kitchen and eating out on the deck. It is an older home and many features are worn looking. The hot tub is wonderful after a long day of hiking in the park.

Mountains of fun!
Very happy with our stay. We even saw a HUGE elk in the backyard area. Also, deer strolled up to the front door. Hot tub was awesome! The house is roomy and cozy, with wonderful decorations each room; not to mention tvs and dvds with a fabulous selection of movies. Everybody 's bed was comfortable, and the whole house was immaculate. Overall, it was just wonderful. Minor couple of things. Someone at Vacassa customer service told me there was "nothing furnished" in the kitchen and we would need to bring our own dinnerware, pots and pans, coffee maker, etc. Then our "host" assured us on Friday before we checked in (on Sunday 2 days later) that our kitchen was entirely furnished, which was true. We just unpacked our kitchen supplies. Also, we were told checkout was 11 am. The fridge had a note that said "no matter what you read or were told, checkout is at 10 am" Not a big deal. We still had a grand time. And we still give 5 stars. Thank you for the fabulous experience!

Great location. There is more wildlife here than in the Rocky Mountains. Beds are comfortable and plenty of space. I would recommend a better way to block the sun during the heat of the day (summer) or have a couple of the water cooler (ac units) as they are small and portable and don’t require drainage, instead of the fans. It does get cool late late at night. They have all those things you forgot to pack.. flashlights, bags and just those little odd items. I enjoyed my stay and the great views! The animals were amazing: Elk, deer, chipmunks, bear (yep). Calm. They keep to themself and know when you leave!!!

It was the perfect home for our family to stay. Lots of space and a spacious living and dining room. Views from the porch are great, we saw many deer roaming around in the morning. The hot tub didn’t work during our stay, found out an hour before arrival. Although it was fixed it never really warmed up to hot. However, I did appreciate the communication through the process. A short drive to downtown and Estes lake! Great location!
