THE LOOSE MOOSE LODGE

Come stay and get loose with the moose! Your home away from home in Estes Park, CO: family friendly, fun, and memorable! Outstanding Views! Perfect in every way!

Kick up your feet, relax, and enjoy this beautifully appointed, air conditioned, modern, three bedroom mountain lodge within walking distance to downtown Estes Park (1 mile) and only a five minute drive to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park, where you will find some of the best hiking in Colorado.

This incredible lodge features a private, six person outdoor hot tub on the back patio and a gas fire pit and BBQ grill on the deck with a view of Prospect Mountain. The Big Thompson River can be accessed via two paths just 100 feet from the back door. Bring your pole and try your luck at fishing (catch & release) or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll down the river’s secluded pathway.

During the day you will enjoy the spacious great room with huge windows full of Colorado sunshine. During the evenings, you will enjoy the glow of the fireplace with comfy chairs and a beautiful leather sofa making this the perfect retreat to relax and slumber as adults enjoy a bottle of wine and kids enjoy some hot chocolate. The lodge is beautifully decorated by the owner with mountain and cabin-themed decor. There are three bedrooms: a main floor king master suite, a king guest bedroom, and a queen guest bedroom. This lodge sleeps six comfortably.

The chef in your group will relish in the company of their loved ones while whipping up their favorite recipes in the fully equipped kitchen. There is an elegant breakfast bar with seating for three and a kitchen table with seating for six. Additionally, this lodge is stocked with everything you need from linens, towels, board games, card games, movies, and books.

From the elevated deck or the lower patio, be prepared to encounter deer or elk grazing throughout the neighborhood. If you are lucky, you might see a moose (on the loose), bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and maybe a mama black bear with cubs. Wildlife frequents this area so keep your eyes open and your camera ready.

Be sure to find the gondola during the summer; it goes up Prospect Mountain and offers breathtaking views of the continental divide, the national park, and the entire Estes Park valley. Don’t forget to visit Fun City and enjoy the bumper boats and bumper cars, mini golf, a giant slide, a bungee trampoline, and go-cart racing. Also visit the super fun aerial obstacle course of the Open Air Adventure Park. Some Estes Park attractions are closed seasonally, so please check availability online. Note: Estes Park has a free shuttle network that goes all over the town and into the National Park. In general, the shuttles run late June to mid-September. When you're here, you can leave the car parked in the garage to avoid the traffic of downtown and walk to your favorite restaurants, bars and shops (1 mile).

Convenient, clean, and comfortable

We stayed here for a wedding in town. The house was very clean and nicer than we have come to expect from a rental. The view is beautiful and there is a little path down by the creek that leads right to a great coffee shop with a duck pond. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

Had a wonderful time

This home was super comfortable and perfect for our party (6 adults). It was clean and very well stocked with all the things necessary for a multi day stay. It was well situated to downtown Estes Park and RMNP. Several trails in the part were a short 10min drive. Entirely happy with our choice!

Fabulous Return Trip

This property is exceptional! The owners have thought of everything, so you can just arrive, relax, and enjoy. The location is excellent with beautiful views and close proximity to the Big Thompson River. Additionally, it is convenient for both getting into the center of Estes Park and out to Rocky Mountain National Park. This was a return trip for us to this property, and we hope to be back again next summer too!

Fabulous Home and Great Location

We had never been to Estes Park and got lucky to stumble across this home. This house worked perfectly for us. The hosts thought of absolutely everything that you could need and had it available. The view was breathtaking. The river was just down a short path and the kids were able to fish on the river. There was a coffee shop down the river and we could walk along the river to the coffee shop, which had a pond for the kids to feed the ducks. The hosts had a ton of toys for the kids which was really nice. The house was right outside of town within easy walking of places to eat and a small market. Short drive to the national park. Checkin and checkout was easy and straightforward. Cannot say enough good things about this house. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent extended family accommodations

This property was well suited for our extended family gathering, which consisted of grandparents, mom/dad, and 2 children 9/7. The grandparents were comfortable in the ground floor master suite, while mom/dad and the kids had there own space in the walk-out downstairs suite. The kitchen/dining/living room was beautifully setup with windows galore and the kitchen was well stocked which served our purposes as we mainly cook in. Access to a short (0.5 mile) river trail was excellent, although the property itself was not adjacent to the river as we thought it was from the advertisement. Not a huge deal but caught us slightly by surprise. The neighborhood was very quite, and was situated on the west side of downtown Estes. Overall this was a great experience for us and we would consider staying at this property for another visit in the future and/or recommending it to friends. Thank you.

Beautiful, Relaxing Vacation

This place is definitely a gem! Perfect location. We had such a relaxing time in this home. Plenty of privacy and space for everyone. The attention to detail was exceptional and everything was beautiful. We never stayed at a vacation home that was so well stocked with all the comforts of home. The beds were so comfortable, and the comfy blankets and hot tub were great. The kitchen was fully stocked with all essentials needed for cooking. The welcome gifts definitely exceeded our expectations. The house was so clean. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the home. We were able to walk to the coffee shop as well as fish along the river. We saw numerous elk and mule deer outside the home. Stay here and you will not be disappointed! We hope to visit again soon.
