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.

Great Location
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!

Everything was great.
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.
