Estes Park Gem

Rockhedge is a gem. We visited recently with our adult granddaughter and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is beautifully restored, spotless, spacious, comfortable, quiet, fully stocked, has lots of plants, artwork and books, and is conveniently located near the Stanley Hotel but away from the busyness. It is on a very pretty lot with outdoor seating and views of the pink rocks adjacent to Lumpy Ridge. It has a wonderful fireplace for the cool evenings. Highly recommend this property.

Great location

The home was exactly as listed and has loads of charm. My family was attending a wedding in Estes Park and it was a perfect location for us. We had a herd of elk that visited us two mornings which was very cool. Everyone greatly enjoyed the house.

Rockhedge Estes Park

Perfect getaway, very clean, top notch appliances. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Next time we’re out this way we would definitely stay here again. Super quiet and peaceful. No TV in the main room was plus (our daughter actually had to communicate with us). Very relaxing. Thank you, the Schell’s

About the host

Hosted by Durango Steele

I am an East Coast girl from Connecticut who moved to Colorado with my family when my father was employed by IBM in Boulder 1966! I graduated from Estes Park High School and continue to love this community and the beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park. I realize what a great privilege it is to be located next to one our our nation's treasured parks!

Why they chose this property

My husband, Mark, and I lived in Santa Barbara for many years. While enjoying our time there, our attention was drawn to the Craftsman Style of Architecture including Prairie Style and the California Bungalow. We fell in love with this style of home and knew that someday we would find a property suitable for us to restore with the artistic integrity of this form of architecture. We knew it was Rockhedge as soon as we visited the home. Built in 1921 and situated on a beautiful lot; this was the perfect place for us to restore in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

What makes this property unique

This home is warm and welcoming, thoughtfully renovated with attention to detail.
This is a favorite quote of our's by Frank Lloyd Wright:
'A Building should appear to grow easily from its site and be shaped to harmonize with its surroundings if nature is manifest there, and if not, try to make it as quiet, substantial, and organic as she would have done were the opportunity hers.'

We hope that you feel at home here. We are happy to share our interpretation of the Arts & Crafts architecture and philosophy with you. We know that you will enjoy the natural surroundings of this home, the easy access to the shops and restaurants of our charming mountain village and our spectacular Rocky Mountain National Park!

Welcome to Rockhedge.
