Estes Park Vacation Rental License #6016

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

Mulligan's Lodge 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 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 1.5 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 all around...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.

Also on the main level is a powder room, laundry area and 2 car garage.

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

Amazing house. Having the river right outside the back door was so peaceful. The sprawling windows in the living area made us feel like we were taking in the views all week long. Opening the back door let in the cool air and the calming sound of the water. Plus our kids loved “hiking” on the rocks!The host was incredible. Reached out with great tips for our first trip to Estes Park and when we had an issue with the oven, they reimbursed us for a meal when we had to order food instead of cooking as planned. Would absolutely stay here again

Super clean and well stocked home! And that’s on top of the perfect location. I was so sad to leave the sound of the river behind but loved our 3 days easily moving from in town activities to the National Parks. All of the recommendations of places to eat or things to do were spot on and so appreciated. I can’t wait to go back to Eates some day and this place would be on my list to stay again!

Beautiful Property Getaway

This beautiful home sits on the edge of the Big Thompson River. The home was well stocked and we were able to enjoy family meals and fun times with three generations. Every day we saw deer around the property and we loved the view of the river from the balcony. It really was a perfect home for our family trip.
Deer in backyard by the river. Great fly fishing spot.

We absolutely loved this property. After seeing the back “yard” we quickly drove to the sporting goods store and bought a fishing pole for our kids. We had the best time playing in the river. The house was very comfortable and clean. Exactly what we hoped it would be.

Great place to vacation with amazing river views! Very impressed with the quality of the home. The host kept in communication with us through out the entire trip. It was close to all the action in Estes Park and remote enough to enjoy the wildlife that walked through the property. I would definitely recommend this place!

Best Estes Park Stay

This property was perfect for our family vacation to Estes Park. Our host checked in with us before, during, and after our stay and responded immediately when I had a question. The house is even more beautiful than pictured. We had easy access to lots of activities including downtown and RMNP. The river running next to the property was especially nice. I would 10/10 recommend this property to anyone vacationing in Estes Park!

The easiest 5 star review I’ve given! The house is in an incredible location near the opening of Rocky Mountain National park and so close to shopping, restaurants, and a number of hikes. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience - the house is gorgeous and Sue was so kind in providing any details we needed for our stay. We saw a herd of elk right below our deck on multiple days, wild turkeys, and even a bear across the river - marking off all the things on my weekend bucket list. We used the weekend as a get away for a few friends and the views and atmosphere did not disappoint. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Sue Werder

Host profile image
From the Managers- We are pleased to facilitate your stay at Mulligan's Lodge for Nick and Jan Francis who are long-time residents of Colorado. We live close-by and are only a phone call away should you need anything during your stay! Mark and Sue Werder

From the Owners- We have lived in Greeley, Colorado since 1972 as does our son’s family. We winter in Tucson, Arizona so we have the BEST of both worlds.
After he spent many summer vacations as a child, with his family in Estes Park, Nick always dreamed of owning in a cabin in the Rocky Mountains.
We love the location of this townhouse as it is halfway between the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park with all its restaurants, shopping and activities. The new construction has many attractive amenities & upgrades, including air conditioning, all new appliances, etc., and a GREAT location right ON the river. The great room’s wall to wall, floor to ceiling windows bring the great outdoors into view the moment you step inside. Handmade log beds and Colorado lodge furnishings combined with modern conveniences like granite counters will make your Rocky Mountain stay memorable.
Thanks so much for choosing our home for your Rocky Mountain adventure! Nick and Jan Francis
