Summer guests- This home has air conditioning which is very rare in Estes Park!

The Big Thompson River Song is perfectly situated overlooking the Big Thompson River, so close that you will feel like you can reach out and touch it! Top it all off with views of Prospect Mountain and the snowcaps of the Continental Divide and you have the perfect Rocky Mountain retreat. From this home it is just a short walk into the Town of Estes Park and an easy 2 mile drive to the Beaver Meadows entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park.

The main level great room has a gas fireplace to gather at with river and mountain views....no artwork needed on these walls! This is simply the ideal family gathering place with its adjoining fully equipped kitchen and dining room area. Gaze out to take in the perfectly clear Colorado sky, river and mountain views!!

From the great room you can step out to a fantastic deck to enjoy excellent mountain views along with the sights and sounds of the Big Thompson River! Take it all in while enjoying a cup of morning coffee, evening glass of wine, reading a good book or cooking dinner on the gas grill!

The cozy master bedroom en suite is also located on the main level. Open the windows and let the sounds of the Big Thompson lull you to sleep.

A second family room is located in the lower level along with two bedrooms (a king in one of the bedrooms and 2 twins in the other) and a full bath. From this level you can walk-out onto the patio and spot elk and other wildlife moseying along the Big Thompson River! Or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the view!

A two car attached garage space comes with this rental. There is also have a main floor laundry room.

As our guest you will enjoy access to HOA-shared common fishing areas along the Big Thompson river.

Amazing House on the River

The house was so very wonderful. Love, love the location right on the River. We have rented over two dozen luxury VRBO homes and this was one of the best. Very very clean. Had everything we needed. Very much appreciated the crib, baby gate and high chair. A perfect family place. We will definitely be back. The hosts were awesome with their communication and checking to make sure we had everything we needed.

Rocky Mountain Christmas

The house is clean, spacious with a decor and atmosphere in keeping with the wild & beautiful location. The house had everything we needed to prepare and cook our holiday meals. All kitchen appliances functioned well. Beds were comfortable. The view is beautiful. A quick drive into RMNP for easy sight-seeing day trips. But the town is accessible by walking so no need to hunt for parking. A really great place for a mountain family holiday!

Riverside Retreat was great

We had a great stay in Estes Park. The house location is great easy way to get inside RMNP quickly and return at the end of the day. Communication was excellent with any questions we had. The river behind the house was so peaceful. My sons and I fished and were all successful with great tips from neighbors walking by. We will recommend this house to our friends if they are visiting Estes Park area. The 3 bedrooms with 2.5 baths were perfect for our family of 5 (all adult children). Thanks for providing us a great visit.

The Best Place I've Stayed in Estes

We have stayed in Estes Park many times and stayed in over a dozen different rental properties. In all honesty, this property is, hands down, the best place we've stayed with regard to the property, location, and the management. The place was immaculately kept and furnished. We enjoy cooking our meals, and I can't tell you how many times we've found our rentals missing basic cooking items (sharp knives, corkscrew, salt & pepper, grilling tools, etc.). The kitchen at this home had all the utensils we needed to prepare our semi-gourmet meals! The property is near a walking path along the river and is less than a mile from two of Estes Park's better restaurants. The manager, Sue, was incredibly hospitable and helpful. The check-in process was a breeze. This home will be our first choice for a rental during our next trip to Estes.-Mark (Cheyenne, Wyoming)

What we expected and more

This property is as advertised and the managers had excellent communication. It's a great location and beautiful view / setting next to the river with a view of a bluff. There are trout in the river, elk, and mule deer viewable from the property. Easy access to RMNP. It was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Furniture is in excellent condition, beds are comfortable, etc. The deck furniture and grill are also in great condition and comfortable. Coulnd't have asked for a better experience. Would stay here again without hesitation.

The Perfect Place

We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful mountain house! The views were spectacular! We saw elk bathing in the river, an otter, deer—all from our deck. And the stars at night were amazing. We even saw the International Space Station! We enjoyed cooking on the grill. Everything we needed was there. We were just a short drive to the entrance of the Rocky Mountain National Park (make sure you get a Timed Entry pass to avoid being turned away before 2:00 pm). At the suggestion of the owners, we ate dinner at the Rock Inn. It was delicious. I can’t say enough about this beautiful home—and the amazing views. THIS is the place to stay!

AMAZING!! Great location, beautiful views, extremely clean

This is my 2nd time renting a property in this neighborhood and managed by Sue. Both times have been the best experience in all of my VRBO rentals. Sue is wonderful and responsive to any queries. The cleaning crew is fantastic... everything was spotless! The kitchen is well stocked and beds / furniture are comfortable. As for the location - you can't beat it! A plethora of wildlife came through along the river. We had 2 herds of elk and a family of 5 deer visit us throughout the week. There is a lovely, private walking path along the river that leads to a coffee shop 0.5 miles away. Enjoying the views on the deck and sounds of the river were beyond relaxing. You're less than 5 minutes from the RMNP Beaver Meadows entrance and already west of the downtown EP traffic. I can't recommend this property enough!

The kitchen had so many extra items that we cooked many meals at the house so we could spend time looking at the view. The location is perfect for either downtown or RMNP. We will return here!

Perfect in every way

This house is gorgeous, so inviting, and the setting could not be better. We spent every night sitting on the deck on the very comfortable furniture, listening to the river, sipping libations, and watching for shooting stars. In the morning, we saw several elk, deer, and some wild turkeys strolling by. The house itself feels like home as soon as you walk in. Very well stocked. High-end pots, pans, etc. Beds were super comfortable. High-quality linens. Plenty of room to spread out. Easy walk to Coffee on the Rocks and very close to lots of good restaurants. As others have said, Sue was awesome. You will not regret staying here.
