THE LOOSE MOOSE LODGE

Come stay and get loose with the moose! Your home away from home in Estes Park, CO: family friendly, fun, and memorable! Outstanding Views! Perfect in every way!

Kick up your feet, relax, and enjoy this beautifully appointed, air conditioned, modern, three bedroom mountain lodge within walking distance to downtown Estes Park (1 mile) and only a five minute drive to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park, where you will find some of the best hiking in Colorado.

This incredible lodge features a private, six person outdoor hot tub on the back patio and a gas fire pit and BBQ grill on the deck with a view of Prospect Mountain. The Big Thompson River can be accessed via two paths just 100 feet from the back door. Bring your pole and try your luck at fishing (catch & release) or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll down the river’s secluded pathway.

During the day you will enjoy the spacious great room with huge windows full of Colorado sunshine. During the evenings, you will enjoy the glow of the fireplace with comfy chairs and a beautiful leather sofa making this the perfect retreat to relax and slumber as adults enjoy a bottle of wine and kids enjoy some hot chocolate. The lodge is beautifully decorated by the owner with mountain and cabin-themed decor. There are three bedrooms: a main floor king master suite, a king guest bedroom, and a queen guest bedroom. This lodge sleeps six comfortably.

The chef in your group will relish in the company of their loved ones while whipping up their favorite recipes in the fully equipped kitchen. There is an elegant breakfast bar with seating for three and a kitchen table with seating for six. Additionally, this lodge is stocked with everything you need from linens, towels, board games, card games, movies, and books.

From the elevated deck or the lower patio, be prepared to encounter deer or elk grazing throughout the neighborhood. If you are lucky, you might see a moose (on the loose), bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and maybe a mama black bear with cubs. Wildlife frequents this area so keep your eyes open and your camera ready.

Be sure to find the gondola during the summer; it goes up Prospect Mountain and offers breathtaking views of the continental divide, the national park, and the entire Estes Park valley. Don’t forget to visit Fun City and enjoy the bumper boats and bumper cars, mini golf, a giant slide, a bungee trampoline, and go-cart racing. Also visit the super fun aerial obstacle course of the Open Air Adventure Park. Some Estes Park attractions are closed seasonally, so please check availability online. Note: Estes Park has a free shuttle network that goes all over the town and into the National Park. In general, the shuttles run late June to mid-September. When you're here, you can leave the car parked in the garage to avoid the traffic of downtown and walk to your favorite restaurants, bars and shops (1 mile).

Always the Best

Been coming to stay at this home in Estes for the past 6 years at least for my bday weekend. Nate and his family always leave me a warm welcome. The place is always so clean and beautifully decorated and has everything you need while you stay! I hate to tell anyone else about it because one year, I couldn't get it for my birthday lol. Anyhow I love it here!

Convenient, clean, and comfortable

We stayed here for a wedding in town. The house was very clean and nicer than we have come to expect from a rental. The view is beautiful and there is a little path down by the creek that leads right to a great coffee shop with a duck pond. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

Had a wonderful time

This home was super comfortable and perfect for our party (6 adults). It was clean and very well stocked with all the things necessary for a multi day stay. It was well situated to downtown Estes Park and RMNP. Several trails in the part were a short 10min drive. Entirely happy with our choice!

Excellent extended family accommodations

This property was well suited for our extended family gathering, which consisted of grandparents, mom/dad, and 2 children 9/7. The grandparents were comfortable in the ground floor master suite, while mom/dad and the kids had there own space in the walk-out downstairs suite. The kitchen/dining/living room was beautifully setup with windows galore and the kitchen was well stocked which served our purposes as we mainly cook in. Access to a short (0.5 mile) river trail was excellent, although the property itself was not adjacent to the river as we thought it was from the advertisement. Not a huge deal but caught us slightly by surprise. The neighborhood was very quite, and was situated on the west side of downtown Estes. Overall this was a great experience for us and we would consider staying at this property for another visit in the future and/or recommending it to friends. Thank you.

GREAT Home- Well Appointed

This was a great option for 3 couples celebrating anniversaries. We cooked several times in the very well appointed kitchen, the bathrooms were spotless and the beds were SO comfy. Every detail was well thought out and the hosts even had a welcome card and gift for us when we arrived as well as some snacks and wine. We were so impressed that we would definitely come and stay again should we be in Estes. Thanks for a great weekend full of spectacular morning views and meals with friends.

This property is exceptional! The owners have thought of everything, so you can just arrive, relax, and enjoy. The location is excellent with beautiful views and close proximity to the Big Thompson River. Additionally, it is convenient for both getting into the center of Estes Park and out to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Simply the best

I have been using VRBO for more than a decade and this property was by far the very best I have ever rented. To start, it was exactly as the listing stated. To call the place clean is an understatement. Immaculate would be a better word. The owners definitely love and care for the place. And I have never seen a better appointed rental. We love to cook, and found there was nothing lacking in the kitchen. The cookware was in fantastic shape and had everything we needed. There was a full (I mean, VERY full) spice rack which was wonderful. It seemed that all we needed was provided. It was the best kitchen experience in any rental I have ever had. The rest of the unit was equally well stocked. Hand soap and tissues at every sink, laundry goods, bath items, and on and on. The location was perfect. It was an easy walk into downtown Estes. There is an amazing coffee shop (Coffee on the Rocks) just a short walk away. In addition, a small but great grocery store (The Country Market) and liquor store are a very short drive (or walk) away - and in the opposite direction of town. Very easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park, again, without having to go through town. Overall, I could not more highly recommend a property for anyone looking for a perfect trip to Estes Park and RMNP!!
