Great Views-Walk To Town: Family Gatherings, Reunions. Retreats

Wonderful mountain home with fantastic views of Longs Peak and the Rocky Mountains (City license # 3284). Situated on Davis Hill, a quiet residential neighborhood just two blocks from downtown main street. Perfect choice for vacations, family reunions, business retreats, wildlife watching, leaf peeping, etc. Whether it is a family reunion and vacation needing lots of sleeping space (number limited by city code) or a smaller get together with six sleeping areas our property is a great place. The Davis Hill Historic House, with its breathtaking view of the Continental Divide and particularly Longs Peak, began as an inn around the turn of the last century in a smaller structure. The present stone and stucco structure was built in 1923. We operated the house as a B&B for five years and after numerous requests from guests to rent the entire place to include kitchen facilities for their summer vacations, family reunions, quilting groups and off site events, we no longer operate as a B&B. We accept seven day or more rentals in the main summer season and five day or more rentals at other times. Although seldom needed, we have air conditioners in the main house great room and upstairs loft. During the 2026 prime season check in and check out will be on Sundays.
This comfortable home is in a fabulous location. On a hill in a quiet, secluded residential neighborhood, you can leave your cars parked in the reserved on site spaces and walk to downtown in five minutes. There is a stop for the town's free shuttle service (operates during the tourist season) a block and a half away. This shuttle connects to the free shuttle from town to Rocky Mountain National Park. There are numerous shops, restaurants, wine tasting rooms, distilleries, breweries and other attractions just two blocks away to include Fun City-a kids' favorite. Enjoy the fabulous mountain views, wildlife and birds from the large front porch.
The house has six bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath. The full kitchen is equipped with everything you need to whip up great meals. There is also a dishwasher and microwave. (See list of amenities below.) There is a large living room with a smart TV for streaming and comfortable furniture, including couches and a recliner, surrounding an incredible moss stone fireplace.
You can dine inside at the large dining table (original hickory style) or al fresco on the wonderful large front porch overlooking the Continental Divide.

The back wing of the main house has three bedrooms and one hall entry full bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a king bed, one has a full and single and the other has two twins. The bathroom has a claw foot tub and separate modern shower. The other main floor wing has a bedroom with a king bed and a bedroom with a full bed (''the nook''). These two bedrooms are separated by a full bathroom with a claw foot tub (tub has shower attachment). The nook also has a private exit out to the front porch. The comfortable main floor period bedrooms all have antique furniture and comfortable beds.

Upstairs is a large dormitory style bedroom that is very popular with kids and teens. There is one queen, one double, one single bed and a half bath. There is also a futon and couch for lounging.

Guests often have a hard time pulling themselves away from the view from the large porch to go explore Rocky Mountain National Park, the Stanley Hotel, the YMCA of the Rockies and beautiful downtown Estes Park with the wonderful river walk. There is a propane fire pit available out back for roasting hot dogs and making s'mores as well as a large gas grill. Skewers provided. (City ordinance prohibits wood fires for short term rentals, but even If there is a city or county fire ban in effect due to weather the code approved propane fire pit and gas grill can still be used.) There is a complementary on site laundry facility. (Laundry is shared with occasional use by owners, usually just to facilitate turnover). Detergent, spray and wash, etc. provided. We have a fenced area on the side of the house and on site reserved parking for up to four vehicles with complimentary space for a few more right across the street. A city ordinance prohibits on street parking, RVs, trailers or large campers, but guests may use the parking area across the street for those at no charge. The Estes Park Shuttle to and from the Denver Airport provides pick up and delivery right to our house for approximately $65 one way.
Maximum occupancy of 14 guests is dictated by city ordinance. Beginning in the 2026 season guests need to bring their own sheets, pillow cases, bath and kitchen towels, etc. Consequently, we will eliminate the cleaning fee beginning in 2026. We respond to all inquiries and calls promptly. Our calendar is always fully updated. We know you will enjoy your stay.
