About this property

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.

If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay, look no further. This house is so beautiful and they have an amazing entertainment area. Checking in was a breeze. The owners were so on top of things, they sent so much information about house and Estes and Rocky MTN park that we didn’t have any questions. It was great. We had a family emergency and they were so wonderful about helping us out. 10 out 10 would recommend. We will stay here again.
Always a good time for a proposal.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic! Best place for Estes Park!

Location was perfect. Close to national park, and only a few minutes to downtown Estes Park. Home was comfortable and plenty of spaces to spread out. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. This place was the cleanest vrbo rental I have ever stayed in! Spotless! The backyard was spectacular. I had my morning coffee out by the water and we had a nice fire (gas fire pit) one evening. Everything was available. The pictures (as another review said) did not do it justice. This place was beautiful. We got to see several elk the evening we were out by the water. What a treat! If you go to Estes park, this place would be your best choice.

Magic on the Big Thompson River

We honestly feel like we cannot say enough good things about this property, but we will try. This house and yard are spotless. Jim and Gail have anticipated all our needs with this rental! We were lucky to stay in this 13 years ago, and once again were not disappointed! Over the years, the owners have remodeled and updated in the house and outside. You can witness the pride they obviously have for their home. We feel lucky that Gail and Jim share their home with us and the public. Anyone who stays here will feel the magic of this property with the comfort of the beds, 2 living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, large windows and sliding doors that show off nature and the beautiful wildlife, the expansive yard, 2 patios, an upstairs deck, and a large, well furnished riverfront area. In addition, the entire family was mesmerized by the frequent visits from Elk. One day, 15 appeared together! Wow! The small and big kids alike loved playing soccer and games in the large grassy yard. When you are at this property, you will feel like you are far away from all concerns in life! We love the close proximity to the Rocky Mountains and lots of restaurants, while feeling we are away from the busy downtown area. Gail and Jim messaged to us a few times to make sure things were going well during our visit. Appreciated! We would book this property again without hesitation!
