About this property

A Lodge Feel in a Beautiful Private Home - EP Reg#3041

Enjoy staying at this spacious custom home, plenty of room for your whole party to relax and spread out. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, three king-sized beds and one queen (all Purple mattresses), all very comfortable. The master bedroom has its own fireplace, tons of room, and a huge bathroom with tub and a multi-jet rain shower. Hopefully the pictures of this place do the talking (and the reviews), but this place will really make you feel at home in Estes Park.

Out of the way of the main town, you'll be a short drive to the parking garage and start of the riverwalk through downtown Estes. Both national park entrances, north and south, are accessible without having to drive through the town traffic, and you're surrounded by beautiful pine forests. Three different deck/patio areas to enjoy the beautiful and peaceful views, the master bedroom even has it's own deck to relax on.

We started listing this home in June of 2021, so please read our reviews to know what kind of hosts we are, but don't pay attention to the property details if it's before then, our new place is bigger and better! Two sets of washer/dryers, one in the master bedroom closet, one in the downstairs garage, a wine fridge in the kitchen, a sunny breakfast/game nook with a popcorn maker, lots to enjoy here. We even have four lifetime passes to the newly-opened Mustang Mountain Coaster that you're welcome to use.

My wife and I have been hosting VRBO properties since 2008, and we strive to think of everything you might want to make your stay as comfortable and problem-free as possible.

Lastly, we have a town restriction, due to the fact that we're in a residential area, of four cars in the driveway at any time. We have four garage spots, so you can have up to 8 cars if four are in the garages, but the town enforces there only being four cars visible at any time (including for events).

Wonderful wedding weekend

We rented this property to stay at during our Estes Park wedding. The owners were kind and very accommodating. The property is large with ample space for our friends to mingle and have their own space for rest. When in the bedrooms, it was very sound insulated. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Early March stay. We arrived in Estes Park in a snow storm and was able to unload our food and stuff from the attached garage. The kitchen was well stocked for Grandma to cook.It was a very nice home.

The venue had a warm, intimate feel while still providing enough space for our guests to be comfortable.Nick was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, ensuring every detail was taken care of, which made our special day completely stress-free. The accommodations were top-notch, clean, and well-maintained, providing a cozy and luxurious atmosphere.If you’re looking for a picturesque and hassle-free wedding venue in Estes Park, this is the place!

Great space & location home

This house is a great set-up! We had 4 couples staying & it felt like we all had our own space away from one another. Each room was large with it's own bathrooms inside the rooms. Lots of outdoor seating. Plenty of parking. Nick was very responsive with every message. As we were leaving I messaged him with things we saw needed repaired. Stove top didn't work, microwave plug fuse kept tripping, toaster oven wouldn't work, one exterior door wouldn't lock, a slider door wouldn't close well because it was off it's tracks. We know he can't fix what he doesn't know is broken. So hopefully those all will get fixed soon. The cleaning crew failed at their job. Unless things change, be prepared for dirty floors, sticky refrigerator handle, slider doors need a good wipe down & the carpets are in major need of a deep cleaning. The master has permanent stains he says will be replaced in Nov during their down time. There was a plastic bag (with an item inside) in a bedroom that was left from a previous guest. The cleaning crew also has an envelope out for tipping. Needless to say, a tip was not left. The beds are very comfortable! The comforters could be replaced as they are getting grungy & old. Kitchen & bathroom is very well stocked with all items you could need. Check out was super easy & very little asked of us to do. This house really can be THE PERFECT VRBO home with some updating, cleaning & repairs. You will get a nice wow factor when you walk in.

What an amazing property and Nick is an amazing host! It was the perfect place to host our welcoming BBQ for our wedding guests. Plus others family gatherings as well as a perfect place for the bridesmaids and our daughter to get hair and makeup done on the wedding day! Pictures do not do this home justice and Nick went above and beyond with quick responses answering any questions and suggestions. It was a dream wedding and a dream location. Thank you Nick!

Mountain get away!

We had a great Time! The house was everything we could have asked for! There were 5 adults (30-82) and our two grandchildren (1 and 2). We had ample room for everyone. The location was great! There was plenty of space, very user friendly TVs in every room and really, just about anything we could have asked for was provided; extra towels, cooking supplies, bath products, etc. We rarely needed anything! The garage made it really nice to load and unload the cars! We just loved it! We would definitely recommend it!

Perfect

We chose this home for our recent stay in Estes Park for our son’s wedding weekend from the moment we arrived, it was clear this property was something special. The home offers breathtaking views with plenty of space to accommodate our large group with room to spare. We hosted the rehearsal dinner and the open floor plan with large dinning areas made it easy for our guests to mingle. The large kitchen was equips with everything needed to host a large party. Additionally, the multiple outdoor patio areas provided a beautiful space for our guests to relax and enjoy the scenery. The home was exactly as advertised each bedroom was tastefully decorated the beds comfortable and each had an attached private bath! The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring all of our needs were met. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful and functional space to simply relax or host their next event.

Wedding in Estes

Nick was great to work with. Very responsive and willing to help in any way. The house was perfect for what we needed which was a place for all to gather days before and after the wedding. Parking could be a little tricky at times but the lot at the bottom of the road worked great! Primary microwave was broken but they brought in a small counter model in it's place. The main outside table was damaged but again, Nick had one on order. The outdoor seating area was perfect for enjoying the sun/shade. This is the perfect house for groups with lots of individual space. Amazing architecture. My only suggestions would be to add a hot tub and a gas fire pit in the outside seating area. We recommend this VRBO 100%.

Four days stay for a wedding had our rehearsal dinner at the house

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The house was gorgeous. We had a few issues with cleanliness on our first evening, but the property manager was super helpful and super kind and helped us get through it very quickly and the rest of our stay was flawless. Everything you need to have a wonderful get together is at the house. The view is amazing. The area is amazing. I just can’t say enough about the house. Thank you so much for an amazing stay. The house helped to make my daughters and her fiancé’s wedding the most Memorable day of her life.

He had coffee pods, ziploc bags, storage containers, foil, plastic wrap, seasonings, sanitizer sprays and wipes, lotion. Thanks again
