STUNNING HOME! RARE views, beauty & privacy. LOCATION PERFECT! Borders RMNP!

Enjoy pure rocky mountain splendor in this beautiful home known as "Estes Peak Retreat." This incredible custom home sits on 31 private acres, bordering RMNP – just over two miles to the entrance of RMNP by car and a 6 minute drive to downtown Estes Park. It is the perfect location! (registration # 6172, Larimer county Approval Number: 20-NCD0254)

From the outdoor porch, relax by the table, fireplace or even in the hot tub and enjoy the spectacular views as well as the wildlife. This luxurious custom home includes three king bedrooms, three common areas, a 1000 sq. foot Brazilian redwood porch, and both an indoor and outdoor fireplace. House features alder wood custom trim and kitchen cabinets. (Alder wood is the same type of wood that the pilings of the city of Venice are made from as well as many Fender guitars.)

House features:

Estes Peak Retreat has a deluxe kitchen that is a cook’s dream. It has spacious granite counters, including a luxurious island with barstools. It is fully equipped with everything from excellent cookware and spices to a gas stove, stainless steel refrigerator, electric oven, and microwave. The dining room has an extended dining room table perfect for family reunions or a gathering with friends.

Estes Peak Retreat has three king bedrooms (3 king-sized beds, + a trundle bed in the open area of the lower level and a twin bed in one of the king bedrooms) and 3 ½ baths. The home is lined with extensive windows that provide mountain views all throughout. Two of the bedrooms offer these magnificent views. Washer and dryer also available for use.

Enjoy the three sitting areas, facilitating a game room for kids, and two other rooms for entertainment. Enjoy Dish TV in the upper and lower living areas as well as in the master Bedroom, WIFI, and an outdoor grill. After snowshoeing, hiking, or skiing, enjoy a warm and cozy time by the indoor or outdoor fireplace or relax in the hot tub. (Snowshoes are provided for winter hikers).

Half-mile mountain driveway prevents curious onlookers from coming up onto the property and allows guests to have the privacy they deserve. (Note: there are three sharp turns in driveway. We go up easily in the summer in a Prius, but wouldn't want to be driving a large RV! Four-wheel, all-wheel drive or snow tires are needed if it snows.) Electric vehicle outlet available in garage if needed.

Preference is given to full week Saturday-to-Saturday for bookings between June and early September. As these months draw closer, we are open to shorter stays if there are any openings left. Minimum stay varies for other months from 2-4 nights. Please contact us if you see an opening on the calendar which you are not able to book. We would love to try to accommodate you and let you experience the beauty of Estes Peak Retreat.

Just as a side note, we strongly suggest getting rental insurance for any vacation in Colorado. Vacationing here is absolutely wonderful and our guests have marveled at the beauty right from our home. But life certainly is unpredictable with snow storms, fires, pandemics, sickness in families, etc. We would love for you to be able to book with confidence.

For the safety and security of our property and guests, basement door is outfitted with a NEST door lock and door bell.

Hidden Gem!!
Wow! This place has all the cozy comforts of home wrapped in a luxurious package. Thoughtful touches greeted us at every turn… Keyless check-in was simple, pillows and throws were scattered throughout; a wood-burning fireplace was ready with supplies; the kitchen was well-stocked; an upstairs closet was filled with games, books, and toys; the beds and bedding were super comfortable; there was a large hot tub on the deck; tv’s were in multiple locations; even some outdoor gear was provided! This property is beautiful with breathtaking views located just minutes from downtown Estes Park with a variety of shops and fun restaurants. Our stay was exceptional! Don’t miss this hidden gem!!

Magnificent mountain views and stunning sunsets!
A tranquil haven in the heart of the Rockies nestled amidst the majestic peaks of Estes Park, this luxurious mountain retreat offers a sanctuary of serenity. From the moment you arrive, you're enveloped in the natural beauty of towering pines and breathtaking vistas stretching as far as the eye can see. The exquisite attention to detail and tasetful design is evident from the moment you step inside the cabin. The space seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern sophistication, creating a retreat that is both inviting and refined. Sizable windows frame panoramic mountain views and each room is thoughtfully appointed with every comfort in mind. From sumptuous bedding to luxurious bath amenities, no detail has been overlooked. Whether you're curling up by the fireplace with a good book, soaking in the private hot tub under a canopy of stars, or savoring a gourmet meal prepared in the state-of-the-art kitchen, every moment is one of pure indulgence. But it's not just the interior that dazzles—the outdoor spaces are equally impressive. Expansive decks offer the perfect spot for al fresco dining or simply taking in the awe-inspiring scenery. And with miles of hiking trails right outside your door, adventure awaits at every turn. What truly sets this retreat apart, however, is the impeccable service. From the moment you inquire about your stay to the day you arrive, the host maintains a steady, open stream of communication for any questions that might arise. Can’t wait to go back!

Memorable Family Trip
I would high recommend this property for your vacation. The property is super close to Rocky MT national park. Great view and convenient to the grocery store. Very clean house and family friend. The most important is the owners are super nice. They gave us a lot helps and suggestions for snow hiking. If we have another trip there, we will definitely live there again.

Peaceful Retreat
What a wonderful home and location! It was a peaceful retreat from the busyness and stress of daily life. The home was well stocked, from the supplies in the kitchen, to the firewood for the fireplace, to the sleds and snow shoes for playing in the snow. The hosts were so thoughtful, and had so many personal touches that left us feeling well cared for and rested during our stay. We will definitely enjoy many more getaways at this beautiful mountain home! Thank you for your hospitality!

Absolutely Exquisite Property
My husband and I have travelled the world and stayed in many vacation rentals. None compare to Estes Peak Retreat. The home is beautifully appointed with all amenities you could imagine. The views are exquisite! Every window has a gorgeous view of mountains! The furniture is super cozy and comfortable with plenty of blankets to sit and watch the stars at night while burning a fire in the wood burning fireplace—what a treat! Everything in the house is conveniently labeled so there is no guesswork where the light switches are or how to find things. The kitchen drawer has all the manuals for the appliances—so easy to trouble shoot any small issues ….like the ice maker jammed. Easy fix by checking the manual. My kitchen at home isn’t as well stocked as this one—there is even a stand mixer for those who want to do some baking while here! All the pots and pans are really nice—there’s even a slow cooker. The serving pieces are beautiful. We loved the view from the jacuzzi. Heidi is very responsive and very thorough. The gorgeous home is surrounded by large pine trees creating a true feel of complete privacy. Downtown Estes is just minutes away and so is the Park….. We loved our stay in Heidi and Harvey’s beautiful home. Thank you for your incredible hospitality!

An amazing getaway!
I booked this location as a mini vacation with my family. My boys were amazed at the grandeur of the place and so were we! The hot tub was a special treat, hiking in the area was so much fun, and of course Estes is just a few minutes away. The hosts were so helpful and friendly. This place has everything you can think of and to say it’s a luxurious experience is an understatement. We will definitely be back!

A Beautiful Mountain "Hug"
My husband & I took a quick little mountain getaway, but it was so much more! Our time at this beautiful VRBO home was priceless, feeling blessed to be able to experience such an incredible place where you are surrounded by the incredible million-dollar views of Castle Mountain, and Rocky Mountain National Forrest. Harvey and Heidi think of literally everything to ensure your stay will be the BEST! We enjoyed creating meals in the fully stocked kitchen. Everything - I mean everything is thoughtfully and lovingly set up for guests.

Beautiful mountain get-away!
We loved our stay in the mountains. The views from the deck, alone, would make us want to come back! The house is super comfortable and spacious, the kitchen is fully stocked with any kind of cooking utensil you might need. Our kids were delighted to discover the game cabinet. Of course, the hot tub, can't go without being Mentone mentioned. Soaking and taking in the starry night sky was amazing. Lastly the hosts, give you great details prior to your stay, so you know exactly how to get to their place and what to expect. We couldn't recommend this place enough!
