This is a beautiful place to stay. Peaceful and relaxing. It’s right on the stream and has an extremely nice back patio with beautiful views. It’s a very comfortable and inviting mountain home with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Super close to all amenities.
The house was perfect for a post holiday getaway for our family. There was plenty of space but the openness kept everyone together and engaged. I would book this home again for our family!
Beautiful home with plenty of space. Host checked in on us often. The environment was perfect. Felt like a cozy cabin in the woods by the mountains and when it snowed, the snow painted the mountains and trees white. It felt like living in a postcard.
This house was beautiful, and the view of the river was awesome. This house was perfect for 6 adults and 5 kids! We had a lot of space to spread out and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The surrounding area was quiet and close enough to downtown. We would love to come back in the summer.
Beautiful scenery, inviting and roomy. There is plenty of room for a large family gathering. All of the amenities of home. The home feels so warm and inviting. The hot tub was perfect.
Have stayed here several times and just love it ! All the bedrooms have king beds which is nice, no one fighting for the king bed! Love to listen to the Big Thompson flowing behind the house at night when going to bed. Great location too.
We loved this property. It was our second time staying here. Last time was in 2020 and we plan to stay here next time we come back. The kids loved that they could fish whenever with the river so close. One evening we had 8 elk in the river and we loved sitting and watching them from the back patio. Perfect location, close to the park and close to downtown within in minutes.
This property was perfect for our group of 12. The beauty within and without was breathtaking. Jane was wonderful to work with, and we would love to return.
Beautiful property right on the river. Perfect size for our family of 10 with out getting “under foot”. The amenities are fabulous, and would highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit the wonderful town of Estes Park, CO.
The house was in the perfect location to visit Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. The river running right next to the house was magical, we loved sitting out on the deck. We saw wildlife daily especially Elk! The hot tub and air hockey were enjoyed. The owner was very responsive to our questions.
The vacation rental was just as it looked. Our group loved staying out here and we kept saying how beautiful everything was. We stayed early spring, but will definitely be coming back in other seasons!

About the host
Hosted by Jane Livingston - Owner
I consider myself to be very blessed and fortunate to live in a country where we can enjoy our freedoms. I find the world and people fascinating and relish the time I can spend traveling and exploring.. I love to travel, experience the world and spend time outdoors.
Why they chose this property
I worked at the YMCA of the Rockies one summer while in college and I almost stayed rather than going back to college. Rocky Mountain National Park has some of the best hiking in the world. Being by the water and soaking up the outdoors while listening to the soothing sounds of the river and taking in the spectacular rocky mountains is a wonderful feeling. The energy around our home and along the river is awesome and being so close to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park is wonderful.
What makes this property unique
We are 1.5 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park and less than that to a grocery store and shopping. Relax by the river while reading a good book and being mesmerized by the spectacular beauty of the mountains and the sounds of the river. Sit on the river patio while fishing to your heart's content. Soak in the hot tub after hiking or snowshoeing while watching and listening to the river. Enjoy a soothing, peaceful steam shower anytime you desire. Relax with your morning cup of coffee on the patio taking in all the beauty. Enjoy a glass of wine on the deck as the sun sets behind the mountains while cooking those fresh caught fish on the grill.
