About this property

Studio House in Forest Setting-Stunning Views-Hot Tub-Fireplace-Coaster Passes

EP #3541. Beautiful 840 sq ft. studio house in Estes Park with a vaulted ceiling, large windows, and stunning views of Twin Sisters and Mt. Meeker. Lots of wildlife. Elk can often be seen while sitting on the deck. Relax in the private hot tub after a day of sightseeing or hiking and enjoy amazing views of the stars in this dark sky community. Sleep on a king size Casper Original, one of the highest rated mattresses by Consumer Reports. Only 5 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park.

This house is one large open space and does not have separate bedrooms. Also, please note that there are no curtains on the upper windows. This has been done intentionally for the views. During the nighttime, starlight and moonlight can come in through the upper windows.

The house has two unlimited ride passes to the Mustang Mountain Coaster that you are welcome to use during your stay. Zip through the forest at nearly 30 mph or take it slow and enjoy the scenery down 3,000 ft of track. You can ride the coaster alone or with a passenger. The coaster is located at 1180 Dry Gulch Rd in Estes Park, which is a 5.5 mile drive (approximately 10 minutes) from the house. Please call or visit their website for days and hours of operation. (Some days they are closed.) Please note, there is a $250 replacement fee for each pass that is missing from the house upon check-out.

Due to my house cleaner's schedule, I am unable to make arrangements for an early check in or a late check out. On the day of check in, I will send you a message as soon as the house is ready to go. (The house is typically ready to go between 2pm and 3pm.)

My insurance company does not allow for any open flames or outdoor smoking at the house due to fire risk.

The house is connected to the town's Trailblazer fiber optic gigabit internet service and the hot tub is available year round.

During the autumn, winter, and spring, it can be helpful to bring a vehicle with 4WD / AWD. The town generally does a good job of plowing and sanding the roads in the neighborhood in a timely manner after each snow storm, but if you need to drive while the snow is still falling, or you are going up to higher elevations such as Rocky Mountain National Park where they tend to get more snow, it's a good idea to have it.

The house is decorated for the holidays with a Christmas tree and Christmas wreath. (Typically the week after Thanksgiving through New Year's Day).

Check Out (10am): Please double check that the range and fireplace are off, the windows are closed, the hot tub cover is latched, and the doors are locked.

Amazing Retreat With Epic Views

This place was great! Quiet neighboorhood, close to everything and super clean! 10/10 would stay here again. The free passes to the Mustang Coaster were a cherry on top but we loved waking up to the hummingbirds and elk in the yard and watching the stars at night from the on deck hot tub. Bed was comfy too!

About the host

Hosted by Violet Tuskind

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Violet. I feel very fortunate to live in Estes Park, a lovely town near the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. I enjoy hiking, biking, and camping with family and friends. One of my favorite things to do in the morning is to make myself a cup of coffee and watch the wildlife pass by.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I built this small house in 2019. This is a quiet neighborhood with homes that sit on half acre lots with trees, wildlife, and mountain views. We hope you enjoy the house as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

The house has 2 unlimited ride passes to the Mustang Mountain Coaster that you are welcome to use during your stay. A 3-pack of tickets costs $35 so if 2 people were to ride 3 times each, this is a $70 value. Zip through the forest at nearly 30 mph or take it slow and enjoy the scenery down 3,000 ft of track. You can ride the coaster alone or with a passenger. The coaster is located at 1180 Dry Gulch Rd in Estes Park, which is a 5 mile drive (approximately 10 minutes) from the house. Days and hours are limited during the winter and the coaster may be closed during inclement weather. Please note that there is a $250 replacement fee for each pass that is missing from the house upon check-out.
