Beautiful river home with large yard, sitting area and fire pit!

Welcome to our restful mountain retreat on the river (Estes Park Vacation Home Business License # 6040). Wade, sit on the rocks, or fish for wild trout in the Big Thompson River and feel your worries fade away. Eat lunch on one of the picnic tables as you admire the mountains, roast marshmallows in the fire pit, or simply relax on the large manicured lawn.

You can enjoy coffee or tea in the morning in the dining room as you watch the wildlife through 5 large windows. Or watch the wildlife from almost any of the other 30 windows in this cozy house - including the five windows surrounding the jetted tub in the master bath! End your day relaxing in one of the large recliners in the sunroom - listening to the river and the other sounds of nature. Views of the snow-capped mountains and the smell of the evergreen trees will stay with you long after you leave.

Our home is in a prime location. We are at the end of a quiet drive with a large private yard that runs down to the river. The entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park is only one mile away where you can enjoy the many trails, rivers, and wonderful sights the park has to offer. Shopping also is available less than one mile away with many quaint stores, restaurants, and peaceful walks along the river.

This home is beautifully furnished, yet cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and a pleasure to cook in. It’s a dream location on the river and near the park entrance. The owners, Gail and Jim, are kind and friendly, and promptly respond to any questions or concerns. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay, look no further. This house is so beautiful and they have an amazing entertainment area. Checking in was a breeze. The owners were so on top of things, they sent so much information about house and Estes and Rocky MTN park that we didn’t have any questions. It was great. We had a family emergency and they were so wonderful about helping us out. 10 out 10 would recommend. We will stay here again.
Always a good time for a proposal.

Large back yard for kids to run around. Spacious home with lots of windows to see the wildlife and river. We stayed for our Son’s wedding and family members that came to visit loved everything the property had to offer. Would love to stay there again in the future. Seeing the Elk so close up is something we will always remember, absolutely breathtaking.

This is a perfect place for families that want to feel that they are in the mountains by a mountain river but can be to town in 2 minutes. This house is beautiful and clean. We had family ranging from 52 years old to 1 year old and it accommodated each of us wonderfully. We saw deer and elk in the yard. The upstairs bedroom with the private porch is perfect for reading a book or just listening to the river. We will definitely be back!
