We had a wonderful stay at this property! The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything our family needed. It was perfect for both adults and children, with plenty of space and all the comforts of home. The location was fantastic—close to everything yet still quiet and relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation spot and would definitely love to stay here again!

Met family for Thanksgiving, seven of us. Had a great Thanksgiving meal there. Best VRBO kitchen we could have hoped for. Had pretty much every kitchen pan and gadget we needed, The pantry was also very generously stocked. plus a freezer full of waffles! Location was fantastic, just down the road from good food and a grocery store. 10min from downtown Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the YMCA of the Rockies. The views from the wrap around deck are gorgeous. We had deer in the yard nearly every day. Mary's lake which was just a bit down the road looked beautiful, we didn't get to stop by and regret we didn't. Internet access worked great. The house had several features we didn't take advantage of. Including a few grills, a hot tub.and fishing equipment, The host was incredibly responsive, and easy to get a hold of. We had a special request and are very appreciative of how incredibly accommodating he was. This place is a great value, clean, super comfortable. I would definitely book again.

Most Amazing sunrises over Mary’s Lake. Fully stocked kitchen. Great layout of the home. So many places to eat and hang. The kids favorite was the ground squirrels that would take peanuts and carrots from the kids. We will 100% book again based on amenities and location. However, the host was amazing as well. Excellent communication and attention to details. Definitely book this one. You will not regret it!

The house was perfect-we were to have 10 guests but four were unable to join us due to school and work commitments. My nephew was able to join us so we did have a group of 7, 3 of which had never visited Colorado including my youngest grandson, age 17. The younger folks loved the hot tub and used it at least 3 times. As far as the kitchen, I've never rented a home or condo that was as stocked with everything you could possibly need. The home was clean and lacked for nothing. We also enjoy having several game nights as the owners have lots of games to choose from. Thank you for everything! This home was perfect and I hope to return in the next year of so with my folks who couldn't come along last week and we will definitely look at staying at this home once again.

Fantastic stay

This place has it all. Gary is a fantastic host and always available for questions or concerns. Location is fantastic for Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes. Entertainment center set-up is insane. My family loves this place and we hope to be back. Gary is always available but I think the best thing I can say is that we didn’t need him because everything you need is already there with excellent instructions. Can’t recommend any higher.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Peak

Host profile image
We live a little less than an hour away in Fort Collins.
We have vacationed all over and often rented homes to stay in, and those were our best vacation memories.

Why they chose this property

It's all about the view! This area of the Rockies is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and one of the few very beautiful locations that has year-round activities.
The location and convenience are a nice bonus, but the views were the main consideration in choosing this property.Every room, every window in this house has a great view. We looked for years at Estes Park and Grand lake for a second home that would be an investment and eventually a retirement home for us. We saw lots of properties with no nice view, or tiny windows, or neighbors too close,too small,or too 'inconvenient' to get to. This home is in a perfect, very quiet spot. Our neighbors are few, they are not close by, and do not spoil the view. Getting to the Park, the restaurants, and the shopping are easy from this location. On Summer weekends when the town is jammed with tourists, it is easy to bypass the traffic by using Peak View and Riverside drive.
We love to go hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, and access to the park is quick and easy from this location. The drive to the Park from our property does not go through town and traffic is never an issue even on Summer weekends.

What makes this property unique

We have gone a bit overboard with guest amenities.
No vacation home has more entertainment options. The home theater with video games and movies will occupy the kids down stairs while the adults enjoy the view and 50 inch plasma tv upstairs.
