Unique A-Frame! Just 1.5 mi to Estes & RMNP entrance

City of Estes Park Registration 3033. Actual address is 2415 Wild Bear Way, Estes Park.

Why stay in the same old cabin or condo when you can stay in our beautiful, clean and unique A-Frame surrounded by trees and abundant with wildlife.

The location of this home is perfect for your Estes vacation. It is located in a very quiet collection of a few cabins about a 15 minute hike into Rocky Mountain National Park or the YMCA property and a 1.5 mile drive to Downtown or the Beaver Meadows entrance into RMNP.

You will have a marvelous Rocky Mountain vacation in this clean, quiet, fully appointed vacation home. We have two bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has a queen bed and a balcony where you can hear the Big Thompson River through the trees. The second bedroom has a full size bed. Downstairs is tastefully decorated with cabin style furniture with a pull-out queen and pull-out twin bed. Downstairs is great for kids to sleep in while the grown-ups sleep quietly upstairs.

We have a newer remodeled full kitchen w/ gas stove, dishwasher and microwave, plenty of plates as well as pots and pans. We also have a full sized washer and dryer too.

You can relax and read a book by the wood-burning stove, watch DVD's on the TV (we have a large selection of DVD's stocked), play classic Atari video games or sit on the front or back porches and watch the elk, deer, bears, foxes, coyotes, wild turkeys, rabbits, hummingbirds etc. that are frequently seen on the property.

If you want to hike, this is the location for you. You can hike into Rocky Mountain National Park along the picturesque boulder strewn Big Thompson River and be in the Moraine Park area (prime fishing and elk viewing area) in about 15 minutes (accessed through the corner of the YMCA property). You can also hike along Glacier Creek for more fishing and beautiful trails. The YMCA has numerous trails where mountain biking is allowed. We are close to quite a few restaurants, shopping, horseback riding, fishing, miniature golf and all that Estes has to offer on Highway 66 (Tunnel Rd) into downtown Estes.

Country hideaway next to the YMCA

The A-Frame was warm and cozy even though we were there during a really cold time. We enjoyed the use of the washer and dryer prior to heading home so there wasn't so much to catch up on after vacation.

Beautiful and peaceful

The cabin was cozy, even in the negative temperatures. The location was beautiful and quiet, and we were able to go to the RMNP daily to play in the snow and explore. The stairs were a little treacherous and shaky, but that would be my only complaint. Great little A-frame

Vacation with my boys

Clean A-frame cabin. Perfect location for all our adventures from hiking up in RMNP to shopping and eating and fishing in Estes and white water rafting to watching wild life from the cabin. Love this little cabin. Made lots of memories with my family. We will definitely come back. Only two minor corrections need to be made to the cabin: needs new screens on sliders and new window covers on the upstairs master bedroom.. nothing major and again looking forward to booking this cabin again

Good location

We stayed with 2 adults and 2 teens. The property was a great location for us. We visited the national park and it was close to that and the town of Estes. The inside had a good amount of space. It is obvious that it has not been updated in quite a while but is clean. It gave us a good amount of space. Good space in the kitchen to spread out. Hosts were responsive to questions.

Cute House

The house was very cute and convenient for getting to Rocky Mountain National Park. The house had plenty of space for my family of 4 and was very clean. The only part my daughter didn't like was the spiral stair case, it was steep but in the listing so not a surprise.

Everything we needed and great location

This A frame had everything our family needed for a comfortable stay. The couches are worn, but everything else was well kept for an older home. It felt clean and comfortable. The spiral stairs are a bit challenging if you are tall and with the younger kids but are sturdy and needed for this space. The owner was very responsive with my questions and very knowledgeable of the area. The location is wonderful and peaceful. I would definitively recommend this space!

Fabulously Perfect Place!

Our family of five absolutely loved this place! We walked to the YMCA and to RMNP from the property. We saw deer within ten feet of us from the front and back decks EVERY day we were there. We were pleasantly surprised by how stocked the property came with movies and board games. It was a huge hit for our kids and us alike. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us! the b.fam.

Please spend some money

I was not comfortable with the fact that just anyone could see straight into the bedroom. Those blinds really need to be replaced. This was our first time flying into a rental and I wasn’t fully packed with all necessities. However, I’ve never needed all that I have Brought with me either. Here we didn’t have one extra trash bag, one dishwasher pod or even one load of laundry detergent that we were supposed to use to wash our towels. Either the owner should spend the money to make it better or the renter should spend their money somewhere else. There was wildlife in the yard on several occasions.

Great location

Had a fantastic time. Some small suggestions would be a few things would need to be updated. The screen doors should be replaced and the beds upstairs are very old queen beds. It would be nice to replace one with a king size bed, especially the back bed is very uncomfortable and loud when tossing and turning. Over all we enjoyed our trip

Rocky Mountain Family Time

Loved the A Frame. Wished it had been shared that the driveways into the area are in such poor condition. Feel also that Wi-Fi access should be a standard. Some people need to do work even on vacation, especially in the times we are living in. Besides these things, loved our time there and grateful for the experience. Lots of wildlife sightings too!

Perfect for us!

Had family of three and a mother-in-law. Everyone had their own space which was wonderful. The location is close enough to town getting there is easy, and there are enough businesses south of town, closer to the home, if you want to avoid Estes Park traffic. Easy entrance to the park and trailheads. Lots of wildlife around so keep your eyes out. Awesome classic movies to watch on the DVD player, our 20 year old son watched "One flew over the Cuckoos Nest," it is now one of his all-time favorites. Can't thank the Valescos enough - great at answering questions, and the house it wonderfully decorated and homey, and just what we needed for a week away from the day-to-day grind.

Grateful but let down.

Found this place kinda last minute and for a great price. Overall I think we got what we paid for. Nothing fancy which is fine but the place really needs a deep clean. The upstairs was especially lacking in cleanliness. There were what looked like a few pet stains on the carpets and I assume they were pet stains because it smelled like urine. It was a real turn off and we were glad when our stay was over.

Great stay with some snags

This cute property is in a great location-- close enough to town and Rocky Mountain National Park to be convenient, but far enough away to be quiet and secluded. Check in was wonderfully easy. The kitchen is big enough and well appointed to cook full meals for a family. There were some snags that made our stay more difficult. One screen door was finicky and difficult to operate. The upstairs screen door was completely off and leaning against the wall. This made airflow upstairs challenging, which was important since the unit has no A/C (would have been fine with the cool mountain evenings if there was airflow). There were several blinds missing. We ran out of toilet paper part way through the stay, although the owner was responsive and brought some by. The property also ran out of laundry supplies although I was eventually able to find them in a supplemental storage unit. Overall we enjoyed our time in the mountains and at this unit but some of these small things would have made it better.
