Awesome spot for a larger group
We had an awesome time at this cabin which was nestled in Estes park and a close drive to the national parks for some good hiking. Wildlife was all around and we would often see elk and deer in the back yard. The hot tub is amazing to use when it's cold out. The basketball court was so much fun to play in. We were able to cook large meals for the group thanks to the kitchen. Would certainly book again

Absolutely amazing!
We had a family of 10 and we all had an absolute blast in this beautiful home. There was such a great amount of space and everyone had their own rooms, which was fantastic. The pool table and living area were perfect and the home had plenty of things to do. Julie was fabulous with communication and assisted us anytime we had questions or needs and was always willing to help if needed. Highly recommend!

Best place in Estes!
We have been staying in Estes for years and this is the best place ever! Perfect for multi generational or multiple families. The kids had so much fun in the game room. My 80 year old mom bested some of them in basketball. Everyone had their own rooms which was nice. Even the semi sullen teens cheerfully gathered around the pool table in the main area. The best feature of all for the grownups is the deck with fire pit and unbelievable views of Long’s and RMNP, the ultimate spot for sunset happy hour. There is a resident bobcat living in the rocks nearby, and a giant bull elk relaxing next to the house each day. We can’t wait to come back.

Why they chose this property

The view at this property cannot be beat!

What makes this property unique

Simply one of the best locations in one of the most beautiful mountain towns in the country and arguably one of the best views of the Front Range, Longs Peak and the continental divide. The home is located between the downtown of Estes Park and the main entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The setting is natural and park-like itself with abundant wildlife passing through year round. Even with limitless outdoor activities in the area, there are also extensive activities in the house including: billiards, basket ball court, air hockey, 8 person hot tub, shuffle board table, huge dining table and over 2000 sqft in decks with views that are just plain stunning!
