My husband and I dream of the day we`ll retire in our magical mountain home, but before we do, we`d like to offer it up to your family to create timeless memories.
Our past guests have raved:
`... the views from the balcony are as good as advertised and you’ll even get to see wildlife on the property.`
`... the house was just perfect. Extremely clean, well stocked, and the most beautiful views!`
`... the property is spacious, clean, with views and minutes to RMNP`
`... this house is amazing! It has lovely common gathering spaces inside and out. The furnishings are quite comfortable, the linens and towels are high quality.`
We hope you experience the same when you visit! There is nothing like a late summer BBQ on our deck as the alpenglow dances across the Continental Divide, or falling asleep to the sound of Fall River, or relaxing in front of our fireplace as the snow falls.
Our property has several hundred feet of prime riverfront access, where you can fish or simply just relax. The lower patio and second floor deck (with outdoor dining) offer incredible views of the surrounding mountains, while the second floor great room has beautiful vaulted ceilings with reclaimed wood, a gorgeous rock fireplace, and a cozy study.
BEDROOMS
The home has four bedrooms: a master bedroom on the upper floor with an en-suite bathroom, on the river side of the house. There`s a huge sliding door so you can listen to the water as you fall asleep. A second upstairs bedroom with a comfy king mattress is adjacent. Downstairs you`ll find two queen bedrooms and a fifth bedroom with two single beds.
BATHROOMS
We have three full bathrooms with toilets and showers: one is attached to the master bedroom, a second is next to the den in the main floor, and a third is downstairs next to the media room
MEDIA ROOM & DEN
Our media room has comfortable reading chairs, a luxurious sofa, and a huge flatscreen smart TV with a Roku. Bring your own logins and watch whatever you want. The upstairs den has books and games to pass the time.
OUTDOOR LIVING
There`s a wonderful outdoor living space on the bank of the river for gatherings and hanging out, plus a lower patio with mountain views and our second floor deck that covers the entire front of the house. You can see mountains for miles from everywhere on our lot.
LAUNDRY & COOKING
Kitchen - Our fully stocked kitchen has everything you`ll need to cook an incredible meal, all the while staring at Deer Mountain off the enormous windows. It features a range, a full sized fridge/freezer, a microwave, dishwasher, lots of small appliances, cutlery, dishes, utensils, bowls/pots/pans and virtually anything else you may need or want.
Laundry - There`s a laundry room with a washer and a dryer that you are free to use. Please do! I try to keep the detergent stocked but don`t guarantee it, so it may be wise to bring a little of your own.
Guests will have access to our entire property: 4 bedrooms, a media room, a study, a huge great room with vaulted ceilings, a kitchen, our upper level deck and lower level patio, and our lot, which sits on the banks of Fall River, where you can fish if you have a permit.
We have entrusted the team at The Wolf Rentals to manage our home. They will likely be your main points of contact during your stay, as they have hosted 10,000 or more guests over the years and do an incredible job helping you to feel at home.
Our home is located in a lovely private neighborhood on the banks of Fall River, just outside the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. It has a secluded and isolated feel and there are incredible mountain views of the Continental Divide, Deer Mountain, and Macgregor Mountain. Due to the proximity to the National Park, wildlife sightings are very, very common. At the same time, it`s a straight shot of just a few miles back into downtown Estes Park, where you`ll find wonderful shops and restaurants.
We recommend all guests visiting Estes Park rent an AWD or 4WD vehicle from October to May. We cannot assist if you get stuck! Two wheel drive is totally fine during the summer.
NO SMOKING
The home and entire property are designated as no smoking due to high fire danger. If you wish to smoke even outside, this is not a good fit.
ROAD CONDITIONS
Roads in Estes are generally pretty plowed, even in winter, but if there`s a huge blizzard, it may not be plowed exactly when you need it to be plowed. We cannot assist if you get stuck and we always recommend that people rent AWD or 4WD when visiting us from October to May. We are at 8,000 feet and this can be a snowy area!
NONPAYING GUESTS
Insurance forbids nonpaying and non-registered guests on property. Exterior security camera present to pick up nonpaying guests and deter parties. One camera is under the deck pointing at the parking area and the other is on the back porch facing west.
AIR CONDITIONER
Like nearly every other home in town, there’s no A/C. Thankfully mountain air blows down from the high peaks and will cool down the place quickly in the evenings if you open the windows.
BEARS
Do NOT leave food in your car! Bears frequent this area often and can break in!
