Amazing place - inside and out! Views are 11/10!!

This place lived up to the hype. The views in real life are better than in the pics. A herd of 30 elk were visible from back deck for hours. Inside, it’s super clean, comfortable, and spread out enough for everyone to be comfortable and have privacy.Location is so easy - less than 10 min to Estes park, twin owls restaurant and Mary’s lake were walking distance. Would def stay again! Wonderful!!

This property was amazing. The views were better than pictured in the listing. The property is close to everything, yet far enough away from the hustle of downtown Estes Park. We loved the deck and spent most of our time at the home out on the deck enjoying the views of the mountains. The property was clean and ready for us upon arrival. The kitchen had everything we needed for the week, including a gas grill on the deck.We would stay here again!

Fantastic location, home, and hosts! The views are phenomenal from the back deck, a short drive to downtown or RMNP, and very comfortably accommodated the max of 8 occupants. The hosts have thought of everything for a comfortable stay and provided a great “starter courtesy kit” to get your stay started. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

A Mountain Dream

This has been my FAVORITE rental of any vacation we’ve ever been on. The view is absolutely breathtaking - everything was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. We loved everything about it and Tom & Leah were excellent to work with. The most amazing home base to explore RMNP and Estes Park! Don’t miss out on this one! If I could give it more stars I would.

ELK VIEWS ABOUND

Kitchen well stocked. New amenities and furnishings. Gorgeous views of the mountains. Lots of elk activity both in front of house which can be viewed on the balcony. Even more Elk activity out the back of property . Perfect for larger families. There is porch access out both front and bottom levels so might not want to leave smaller children alone downstairs. But it is a perfect place. And so close to the main entrance of RMNP and Bear Lake Entrance. Hope to return next year!

We had a great stay, the condo was VERY clean, modern and comfortable, and in a quiet community. The views are also even better than the photos, we loved having our morning coffee while looking at the mountains. Located not far from RMNP entrance and downtown shopping/lots of restaurants but felt out of the way enough to be peaceful.
Lots of friendly birds around in the mornings!

Amazing Morning Views

This was our first time to Estes Park and we really enjoyed it. There is very few places you can go and be woken up by elk bugling in the back yard. There is huge herd of elk that hang out around the house. Leah was so helpful in every aspect and the house was amazing.

Condo was absolutely stunning. Very well appointed, comfortable beds and seating areas including power recliners looking out towards the mountains. Had everything we needed. Reserved parking spot in an absolute fantastic location just a short drive away from the hustle and bustle. If (when) we ever visit RNMP again, we'll be looking to reserve this condo again! Highly recommended, you won't be sorry

Beautiful Place close to RMNP Entry

The townhouse had wonderful views and was perfect for two couples, but would also work for families since the downstairs has two queen beds and a couch in the living area. Both upstairs and downstairs had a deck with gorgeous views as well as living rooms. The area was very quiet and was only a few miles from both the main part of town and the entrance to the park. The kitchen had everything we needed and plenty of space. Would definitely stay here again. While we drove to town several times for meals, we enjoyed being away from the hustle & bustle for quiet evenings and mornings.

We loved our stay here! It was clean and very comfortable with any extras we could have needed, like a booster seat and pack and play. We loved the close proximity to the National park. It was just a 5 minute drive which was perfect because we went into the park everyday. We also loved the quiet neighborhood with the great views. Thank you so much for this beautiful place to stay!
