The half-mile mountain driveway ensures ultimate privacy, keeping curious onlookers at bay and allowing guests to fully relax in seclusion. While the driveway is easily navigable in the summerâeven in a Priusâits three sharp turns make it less suitable for large RVs.

From June to early September, we prioritize full-week Saturday-to-Saturday bookings. As these months approach, we may offer shorter stays if availability allows.

If you spot an opening on the calendar that youâre unable to book, please reach outâweâd love to accommodate you and share the beauty of Estes Peak Retreat!
A friendly recommendation: We strongly suggest purchasing rental insurance for any vacation in Colorado. While the experience here is truly unforgettable, and our guests have marveled at the breathtaking beauty right from our home, unpredictable eventsâfrom snowstorms and wildfires to illness or travel disruptionsâcan arise. We want you to book with confidence, knowing your getaway is protected no matter what.
For the safety and security of both our property and guests, the basement door is equipped with a NEST door lock and doorbell.

The host is very accessible and helpful. The house was exactly pictured and it is gorgeous! The kitchen has absolutely anything you could need to feed your group! The views are spectacular!
What a fantastic stay! Everything was well-stocked. We didnât need to worry about anything. It didnât feel like we were in someone elseâs home, it was so comfortable and homey. Truly, every single need was anticipated. And the view!! Our host was so accommodating and thorough. She really thought of everything. Even keeping the Christmas tree up for us a few extra days. The home was immaculate, quiet, and everything worked perfectly.
This is hands down the best place we have ever stayed. From the amazing home and amazing views to the incredible hospitality of the hosts, this place cannot be beat! The hosts have thought of everything. The kitchen is stocked so well there wasnât anything we needed that they didnât provide. The pictures donât really do this house justice. Itâs only a few minutes from RMNP entrance. In all honesty, we have never been more pleased with a property or the hosts. We will without a doubt be back!
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Estes Park. From the moment we walked in, it felt cozy, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. Every room was decorated so cute and warm, and the house had absolutely everything we could have ever needed for a perfect getaway.The hosts were incredibly helpful and kind, making sure our stay was smooth and comfortable from start to finish. You can tell they truly care about their guests and take pride in creating a space that feels special.We fell in love with this place and the peaceful surroundings, and weâre already looking forward to making this our yearly tradition. Itâs the kind of home you step into once and immediately know youâll be back.
I don't even know where to start â everything was absolutely perfect. The host was incredible: friendly, welcoming, and provided crystal-clear instructions and a detailed manual that made everything effortless.The cabin itself was immaculate and beautifully maintained, with every detail in perfect condition. It had everything we needed and so much more. The location is unbeatable â almost at the top of the mountain, peaceful, quiet, and extremely safe, yet only 5 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park in one direction and town in the other.The host also gave us countless tips and extremely helpful information that made our trip even better. We had the best vacation ever, and this is by far the best cabin we have ever rented. It simply couldnât be better.
This property was everything we were looking for. Isolated with gorgeous Mountain Views. We were blessed to have snow while we were staying and it was like being in a snow globe with amazing views everywhere you looked. Plenty of room yet gives you the cozy vibe. We have stayed at several nice places in Estes over the years but this will be our return stay from now on. No more shopping for places.
This is just a beautiful home. We stayed here for 5 nights in early November to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We brought our family with us. Every single one of us had a magical time. Rocky National Park is next door, literally, and we hiked every day. We came home, and that is what if felt like, home, and cleaned up, and read by the wood burning fireplace. There is also a wood burning fireplace on the deck. And the fireplace inside is enormous, with enough wood to last all winter.We cooked dinner in every night as a family. There is literally every single thing you could want in the kitchen. We love to cook so used lots of it. Even the crockpot, which was top of the line. There is a drawer of spices and they covered everything we needed. All very organized as well. There are cozy blankets/throws everywhere. We hit the game closet and did board games in the evening.The host, Heidi, is wonderful. She responded to everything quickly, although, frankly, everything was so well put together we did not need to reach out for much.We all highly recommend this place and would say it is one of our favorite rentals on VRBO ever!
Great house with stunning views. The hosts were thoughtful and accommodating. Right next to the entrance to the Rocky Mountain Park. The driveway is challenging but we had a jeep so it was doable. I give it the best house, best hosts award.
This was our 2nd year staying at this stunning home and we absolutely loved it, once again. My husband and I stayed for 10 days this time and still felt like we could have stayed longer. We had family nearby in Longmont that came to stay with us for the weekend and Heidi was so generous with her permission for them to come stay with us, even at last minutes notice. She is truly so kind and we all had the best time! I cant say enough good things about this home and owner. Looking forward to next year already!
Fabulous home with the best hosts!! This home is not your normal rental. It is fully stocked with so many unexpected extra things for your comfort and enjoyment. Wonderful wraparound porch with incredible views - especially from the hot tub! Easy check in/check out procedures. Great book with instructions and Heidi even called to make sure we didnât have any questions and that everything was perfect for our stay! Highly recommend this home and especially if you are planning on going to RMNP- you wonât find a more convenient location! We canât wait to go back!
Communication with the host was great, property was as described. Peaceful and away from the hustle of Estes Park, yet only 10 min to town or RMNP entrance. House was in great shape and everything you expect from your own home. I would definitely book again if headed that way.
This is a beautiful property in a stunning spot! It is spacious inside but you will spend your time on the huge deck just staring at the views. The rooms are well appointed, large and comfortable. We stayed a week for my son's wedding, and had a simply wonderful time. The owners were very helpful, accommodating and easy to communicate with through text. Beds comfortable with many choices of pillows to make your sleep perfect. We would definitely stay here again should we return to the area. The only negative we could even think of is the driveway - it is long and winding - but after that first drive up and down, even that wasn't a real negative. It is the reason this is a private quiet sanctuary! Book this house - you won't be disappointed!!
My husband and I were finally able to take our honeymoon after several years and found this property and to say it was a dream would be lie. The home was stunning and the views were even better from the property. To say we had the best honeymoon would be an understatement and we will be returning for sure. The host was amazing answering all of our questions, and staying in communication with us making sure we were well taken care of. If you are even thinking about staying here just stop and book it, I promise it will be worth every bit you won't want to leave.
We will definitely be back! I donât think we will ever find a house better than this one. It has everything you could ever need during your stay and Heidi was so easy to communicate with! She checked in with us at the beginning of our stay to ensure we got settled in without issues. The house was very clean and the location was absolutely perfect! I canât wait to book our next trip here!
Property was absolutely beautiful and the view was stunning. We totally enjoyed relaxing and unwinding.felt like home away from home, 10 out of 10 would stay again
We stayed for 3 nights the first week of May. My kids are all adults and said it was the nicest place they ever stayed, and we have traveled a lot. There are beautiful Mountain Viewâs, the kitchen and rest of the home had everything we needed. Itâs located just far enough away from town to feel secluded, but close enough to be convenient. I would recommend this home if you plan to stay near Estes Park and RMNP.
This is a wonderful and well-kept home. The views out of the expansive windows in the main living area and bedrooms are breathtaking. The home is minutes from RNP, as well as the Roosevelt National Forest, and there are many options for outdoor activities. Downtown Estes Park with its restaurants and shopping is also less than 10 minutes away. The owners are very friendly and accommodating as well. This property is a 10/10 in all respects.
