About this property

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 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. 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.

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.

Serviceable, but needs TLC

The location of this property is IDEAL as it is very close to the park entrance and it is quiet. Our sons LOVED the spiral staircase. The A-frame has so much cuteness potential, but it needs some TLC. When we pulled up, the grass/weeds had grown high, and it was clear that the yard had not been addressed in some time, so the first impression wasn't excellent. The interior needs deep cleaning. Most major surfaces were clean, but the nooks and crannies had dust, dirt, spiderwebs, and many places needed fresh paint. There were also some issues with bugs. My husband woke up in the night to a large moth on his face, and we killed multiple moths and spiders during our stay. There is also a strong musty smell, which is concerning for guests who have allergies. This place is great if you are looking for a place to sleep with a bathroom and kitchen. It worked for us, but we probably wouldn't repeat.

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.

About the host

Hosted by STEPHEN VELASCO

A lover of hidden gems, funky houses, groovy music, trails that lead to nowhere, dogs of any shape or size, misfits, and jeeps.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house the moment we saw it. We have always loved Estes Park, and wanted our own little piece of it to enjoy. We love being able to easily hike into the park. The wildlife in the immediate area is abundant. The balcony off the bedroom is fantastic for sitting outside with a cup of coffee. We have always loved the unique look of an A-Frame. It's like owning a Harley or an Airstream. Why have a home like everyone else!

What makes this property unique

Walk into the RMNP Morraine Park area. Walk trails to the YMCA, past rushing water. The Rock Inn Mountain Tavern is a great place to go have a beer and sometimes catch live music and is just down the road.
