Beautiful river home with large yard, sitting area and fire pit!

Welcome to our restful mountain retreat on the river (Estes Park Vacation Home Business License # 6040). Wade, sit on the rocks, or fish for wild trout in the Big Thompson River and feel your worries fade away. Eat lunch on one of the picnic tables as you admire the mountains, roast marshmallows in the fire pit, or simply relax on the large manicured lawn.

You can enjoy coffee or tea in the morning in the dining room as you watch the wildlife through 5 large windows. Or watch the wildlife from almost any of the other 30 windows in this cozy house - including the five windows surrounding the jetted tub in the master bath! End your day relaxing in one of the large recliners in the sunroom - listening to the river and the other sounds of nature. Views of the snow-capped mountains and the smell of the evergreen trees will stay with you long after you leave.

Our home is in a prime location. We are at the end of a quiet drive with a large private yard that runs down to the river. The entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park is only one mile away where you can enjoy the many trails, rivers, and wonderful sights the park has to offer. Shopping also is available less than one mile away with many quaint stores, restaurants, and peaceful walks along the river.

Estes Park River Home

Large back yard for kids to run around. Spacious home with lots of windows to see the wildlife and river. We stayed for our Son’s wedding and family members that came to visit loved everything the property had to offer. Would love to stay there again in the future. Seeing the Elk so close up is something we will always remember, absolutely breathtaking.

Great Stay

As advertised. Managment was easy to communicate with and overall service was exceptional. House was very clean with just about everything needed provided. Only slight negative was that there was only 2 bathrooms with one was located in the master - wish it included another 1/2 bathroom. Would highly recommend & would stay here again.

Perfect for comfort and location

This home is beautifully furnished, yet cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and a pleasure to cook in. It’s a dream location on the river and near the park entrance. The owners, Gail and Jim, are kind and friendly, and promptly respond to any questions or concerns. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Setting the standard

This house has set the standard on rental houses for our family. We won’t be able to stay anywhere without comparing it to this home. Outside it has a premium location, beautiful views, and a fantastic picnic area by the river. Inside the house, attention is given to every detail. Each room was clean and prepared with ample supplies to make our stay enjoyable. The only hesitation in my recommendation is that now it will be more difficult to find an open week to reserve our next stay.

I’ve admired this property for a while and finally had the occasion to rent it — to celebrate with girlfriends upon my recent retirement! The location is wonderful and the property is beautiful — every detail and amenity has been thought through carefully to make it the ultimate vacation experience. We will definitely be back soon! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to accommodate a group in a beautiful home.

Girls trip

450 something women were originally coming to see a show at the amphitheater, but got canceled. Ended up finding a wonderful alternative to a disappointing cancellation. This house was better than the photos and close to absolutely everything. The proximity to everything gave us more time to do the things we all wanted to get done. It could not have been better. Thank you so much.

Beautiful Home!

We loved our stay here! The house is delightful with large windows for viewing wildlife, an upstairs balcony for when the herd of elk is in the backyard :), a well-stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and comfy chairs for relaxing with a book. The sounds of the river are delightful, and it is shallow enough to wade in / rock jump. Our kids had a blast. It is very close to the RMNP entrance, and we enjoyed all our hikes in the park. Downtown Estes is only a few minutes away. I'd highly recommend staying here. I can't say enough great things about the owner - she gave us great information, communicated quickly and regularly, and made us feel comfortable and at home.

Haven for Wildlife

We fell in love with Estes Park when we stayed in this beautiful home in 2017. That began a new chapter in our lives when our family decided to move to Colorado. This is a wonderful home with a beautiful yard that we were fortunate enough to rent again this past week. It was as beautiful as we remembered. We enjoyed relaxing by the river and seeing all the wildlife that visited the yard throughout our stay. The home is in a great location being close to downtown riverwalk with many restaurants and shops and just minutes from RMNP with beautiful lakes and trails. The home is so comfortable and well equipped with all the comforts of home. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!

Peaceful and relaxing time

The house was in the perfect location for getting to the park and into town. Everything in the house was exactly as described- and perfectly clean. The owners communicated promptly and kept us updated with the wild fires west of the city. The sound of the water was so peaceful and relaxing. We had elk (30-50 of them) visit the yard every day we were there- they took over the yard for a few hours and were fascinating to watch. We walked down the river to Coffee on the Rocks a few times and rested by the river after long days in the park. The stars were so bright and numerous in the dark sky- making for a perfect ending to the day. We will definitely stay here again.

Better than the pictures

When we arrived we saw 15 Elk in the back yard wasn't ready for that, when we went inside we found the house to be better than advertised such a wonderful home, my 5 yr old grandson said he didn't want to go home he liked it so much. I'm sure we'll be back if he has anything to do with it.
