Great family vacation spot

This house is great and awesome for families. Great location to town but also the house is wonderful and the kids like to do nature walks around the property. We’ve stayed multiple times for an escape to the mountains. The owners are a joy to work with.

Fantastic Stay

We had such an amazing time. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We even got to see Elks and Deers in the back yard. Leah answered our questions within minutes. Mike and Cindy were great host. Thank you for sharing your house. Have stayed in several different houses in Estes and this one will be on our list for future stay :)

Amazing....as always!

There is nothing negative to say about this home. It is beautiful, comfortable, and private. The owners have provided everything you need to make your stay stress free. Their host, Leah, is the best host we have ever worked with. It makes us cringe to write a positive review because we run the risk of it not being available the next time we want to rent it!! However, it is a gem. The owners deserve for it to be rented, and others deserve the experience of staying in this amazing and tranquil home.

Hidden Gem Close to Everything in Estes Park

We recently stayed at the “Mountain Memories” house for a several-day getaway to enjoy the winter activities in Rocky Mountain National Park. Hands-down, this was the best VRBO experience we’ve had to date. The house and amenities were just as described, and Leah, the property host, was exemplary with her communications and helpfulness—all to ensure our stay was an exceptional experience. The house is nestled in a quiet neighborhood that backs up to a private wooded area, close to everything in Estes Park (but out of the tourist fray). The furnishings are so welcoming and comfortable. The private deck off the back with the firepit is a perfect place to unwind with a cocktail after a day filled with backcountry adventures.

Perfection

Just as the title above says - Perfection. At least it was for us. We liked the location, furniture was very much to our liking and comfortable, kitchen well stocked with appliances, cutlery, dishes, spices and more, to say nothing of the view from the deck which had a grill and firepit. We met Liz, the property manager and Mike, the owner and both were very accommodating and happy to answer any questions we had. Yes, a perfect week.

Beautiful Home, Great Location!

Mountain Memories was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation rental. It was very clean and offered all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. The location was a short distance from city center, but far enough away that we didn’t get caught in all the traffic. Added this one to our favorites!

Highly recommend this property

With Covid being an issue during our stay I communicated with the property manager regarding a couple of issues. She was a pleasure to communicate with. Always responsive and pleasant and helpful. We loved the property. Everything was clean and wonderful and the kitchen was very nicely stocked. The pictures of the property are accurate. It was located very near downtown Estes Park and also near the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Very convenient. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and we saw Mule Deer around the house. It was pleasant sitting outside on the deck having dinner. We would very highly recommend this property. It is one of the best VRBO properties we have stayed in.

About the host

Hosted by Leah Layton

Host profile image
My wife and I both feel very blessed to live here! We enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors especially in the summer. Also blessed to have raised our 4 kids (2 boys and 2 girls) in Estes Park! Though not over yet , we have both spent our entire careers here in Estes Park. We like to travel and just getting away to see something new. I also like meeting and getting to know new people from all over, seeing friends at a local happy hour, hiking and fly fishing. Enjoying our grandson and granddaughter makes the cut too! ....actually they probably top the list especially for Cindy!

Why they chose this property

Mountain Memories has the unique advantage that the owner is the builder! This means that it was built with love, care and attention to detail. Wildlife like elk, deer and coyotes frequent the yard yet guests appreciate Mountain Memory's close proximity to downtown as well as other amenities in Estes Park. In addition, the owners live nearby and can assist quickly if any need arises.

What makes this property unique

Mountain Memories is easy to fall in love with as it offers the modern conveniences of a new build but also the rustic charm and cozy atmosphere you would desire for a memorable stay. Tucked back into a quiet neighborhood, it offers privacy with the open lot in the back but also the convenience of being close to downtown and Rocky Mountain National Park entrance. Many guests have complimented the cleanliness and attention to detail in addition to the welcoming ambience of the home. Come stay a few nights and experience Mountain Memories for yourself!
