Lovely home!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was as depicted, clean and well appointed. I especially loved the immense collection of cookbooks. My young nieces especially enjoyed scrambling over the boulders in the backyard and building a “secret” reading nook under the stairs. Highly recommend for a stay in Estes Park.

The home was exactly as listed and has loads of charm. My family was attending a wedding in Estes Park and it was a perfect location for us. We had a herd of elk that visited us two mornings which was very cool. Everyone greatly enjoyed the house.

Get away with grandkids

Amazingly beautiful home with all of the amenities one needs for a short or lengthy stay. In a word, charming! It is spacious, yet cozy with beautiful surrounding rocks and tress. Located just moments away from downtown restaurants and shopping, and of course at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park, this is a great location. Today we played frisbee golf in the front yard, spending quality time together.

Stunning property!

Very well maintained and gorgeous home. It was so clean and inviting, felt like staying at someone’s home vs. a rental. The neighborhood was quiet, and a short walk to downtown. Loved watching the wildlife right in the yard. Would absolutely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Durango Steele

Host profile image
I am an East Coast girl from Connecticut who moved to Colorado with my family when my father was employed by IBM in Boulder 1966! I graduated from Estes Park High School and continue to love this community and the beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park. I realize what a great privilege it is to be located next to one our our nation's treasured parks!

Why they chose this property

My husband, Mark, and I lived in Santa Barbara for many years. While enjoying our time there, our attention was drawn to the Craftsman Style of Architecture including Prairie Style and the California Bungalow. We fell in love with this style of home and knew that someday we would find a property suitable for us to restore with the artistic integrity of this form of architecture. We knew it was Rockhedge as soon as we visited the home. Built in 1921 and situated on a beautiful lot; this was the perfect place for us to restore in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

What makes this property unique

This home is warm and welcoming, thoughtfully renovated with attention to detail.
This is a favorite quote of our's by Frank Lloyd Wright:
'A Building should appear to grow easily from its site and be shaped to harmonize with its surroundings if nature is manifest there, and if not, try to make it as quiet, substantial, and organic as she would have done were the opportunity hers.'

We hope that you feel at home here. We are happy to share our interpretation of the Arts & Crafts architecture and philosophy with you. We know that you will enjoy the natural surroundings of this home, the easy access to the shops and restaurants of our charming mountain village and our spectacular Rocky Mountain National Park!

Welcome to Rockhedge.

Durango & Mark
